“Training starting now!” Rachel said. “In line.” Flame added. “lap around town then we split into groups!” Mark finished and a girl raised her hand and Frost nodded. “Don’t we do that every day?” the girl asked. “well… yes?” Rachel said confused. But before she could continue an ice spike raced past her and landed half in the ground at the feet of the student. “We do it every day because repetition is good.” Frost said crossing his arms as he shook his head, his ice blue hair leaving mini snowflakes in its wake. The student went quiet. “o-…-k” Mark said feeling the same as everyone else and some of the students shifted around uncomfortably. “well. Start lap” Mark said, and everyone left as Flame walked over to Frost giving him the “Mother look” “Frost! That was almost child abuse!” Flame said “but it wasn’t” Frost said before giving the slightest hint of regret before it disappeared but for Flame, which was a big achievement. When everyone got back, they split into groups. “movements, fallow me!” Rachel said and ¼ of the group fallowed. “all fire kids! Fallow the fire pro!” Flame said happily and one-third of the remaining kids left with her. “all spell casters. Come with me.” Mark said and walked down a hallway as ½ of the class fallowed. Everyone crowded into a room, at the front was a big stage that covered the entire wall, on the left side were a set of window doors that lead to the Arcano river. In the back was the door, and on the right wall was a set of bookshelves. “attention!” Mark said into a microphone behind a podium on the stage, the podium had two books on it, one was a spell book, and the second a notebook. The class continued to talk, and Mark sighed. Mark picked up the spell book and dropped it on the podium. Silence. “Good” Mark said. Does everyone have their notebooks? Take them out. We are going to take some notes. Mark said as a student raised his hand. Mark sighed, “yes Tom?” Mark asked aloud, but he know what Tom was going to say. “I don’t have a pencil.” Tom said and Mark sighed. “Ria’Fo’Tuo’Reznoc.” Mark mumbled and his eyes turned white, so did the air around Tom as a pencil appeared. “Next time. Bring a pencil.” Mark said still shaken by the spells power and how much energy it took. He should not even know the spell. Meanwhile Frost was watching his students attack stone dummy’s his hand behind his back and his sword at his waste, “Remember to bring you ice into your attacks.” Frost said before turning to his own dummy and doing several swift attacks before turning back to the students and walking around. When time was up Frost called everyone to him “ok. Now to stealth.” Frost said hands behind his back and his usual poker face on. “we pick between hide in the shadows or sneak on the roof tops.” Frost said. In the end. The class had picked roof tops. Frost had walked over to a pool of water and froze it shaping it into a ladder and climbed up, while the others fallowed. When Frost got to the top, he decided to watch Marks class before going and helping Rachels. When everyone was up, he had them fallow him to a roof window that was just over the stage. As he moved over to the window, he investigated the “study hall” as Rachel called it. Then he quickly moved back so a red headed student did not see him.
