"And you want to be hired, here?" the head stared, his emotions expressionless.
"Well yes head, I've always wanted to" a sultry female voice entered the room, a little birdie told me, you already have female teachers"
The head room which was covered by the blinds made it impossible to fully see her face.
"You're right, however, they handle simple roles. So would you"
"Fine by me" a smile peaked through the blinds
—--------------
"So we are all up to date? can we all now progress smoothly?" Xiang spoke quietly, her umbrella over her face.
"Yeah! My class is way ahead, extremely talented!" Nami announced
"Lame, my class even though they lost are capable" Kaseem stuck his tongue out.
"Still lost," Nami said once more.
Kasem gasped in shock "you'll see, my class will crush your class next time!"
"Like to see that happen"
"Sorry I'm late everyone, but yeah, my class is up to date " Hoa opened the door.
"Always late" Nami and Kaseem synchronised.
"I overslept the meeting," Hoa sighed.
"I think old age is hitting you early," Kasem muttered.
"I'm literally 27" Hoa hissed.
"Now that everyone's here, let's start with-"
"Is this the teacher's staff room?" a voice interrupted.
The room felt silent. Before someone answered.
"Yes? Need anything?" Kaseem replied.
"Oh yes, I'm training to be a teacher, and I was asked to look while one of you teaches" the voice appeared, a young lady with heavy dark eyeshadow and had on black lipstick fidgeted around. "My name is Sabine, I was told to be with a teacher named Nami?"
"That'd be me, nice to meet you" Nami grinned.
"That's lovely, I hope I learn a lot" she bowed slightly.
"No need for formalities, we are all friends here." Nami replied nervously.
She chuckled slightly, "I guess so, the head agreed I'll start from teacher Nami's class, then to teacher Xiang then everyone else!"
"Right, welcome Sabine, it's good to have another female teacher…" Xiang covered her face with her umbrella
"Another pretty lady!" Kasseem moved "love that, makeup is it?" he pulled some flowers made from rocks.
"Thanks, I like wearing it" Sabine gently pushed the flowers towards him
"I guess, we'll do the meeting later, we have classes starting. " Xiang spoke quietly
"I agree, my kids will be mad about me being late again" Hoa looked down.
""Well everyone! See you next meeting!" Nami waved.

"Finally it's nearly spring!" Thalia whined. "I can wear all my beautiful clothes.
"But your clothes are always stylish," Nerina replied.
"Too stylish if you ask me, who are you trying to impress?" Ravi raised an eyebrow.
"Myself" Thalia replied calmly.
"I got a new set of nails, after the fight. Isn't it cute!" Thalia waved her hand around"
"I think it's cute, I like the pasty pink and yellow" Nerina cheered.
"I do too!" Thalia spoke.
"Nerina! Time to go!" Kyomi wavered happily.
"Bye guys, I'll see you at lunch" Nerina waved before walking to her other friends.
"I heard we have a new teacher, and she's nice?" Kento said, playing with his headphones slightly.
"Oh?"
"Yep, I heard she wears lots of makeup! Especially lipstick!" Kyomi chipped in
—-------
"Morning all, I am Sabina." she smiled.
"This is your new assistant, she's here to learn stuff, treat her nicely," Nami said, staring at the troublesome students.
"Morning teacher sabine" everyone spoke
"Well now that introductions have been done, today we will learn your ability. Water" Nami clapped.
"That's stupid, we know our element" a boy screamed across the class.
"You might, but you don't know your final form, synchronization? And ways to save your mana?" Nami replied.
"No, but I can try that easily" he said
"Sure you can," she turned around. Drawing something on the board. "Your mana as you know is precious to everyone, water is the second most powerful magic type because water is everywhere, in you, me and even plants. Water is used in many synchronization attacks, however, to even learn that you'll need to know how to even control your mana flow"
"What is synchronization?" Kieran raised his hands up.
"Synchronization is when you and another element come together to either attack, or multiple things. As you can see on the board, if a wind and water come together, both magic increases by 1.8%. So let's say- " she said creating stick figures with her blood
"Oh wait, let's synchronize!" "she changed her voice slightly.
"Let's"
Her hand moved as she showed different variations of attacks.
"With synchronization, you can make hurricanes, blizzards, acid rains and more depending on each ability. But let's ignore that for now, first thing first is mana control" she got rid of the figures.
"Very soon you'll learn to cast spells without words!" Nami jumped slightly.
"How' that possible!?" Kyomi gasped
"Sounds unbelievable doesn't it?" Nami laughed slightly. "The reason you all say your cast out loud is because it gives you security, but that's only the building block. It's easy, you say the incarnation in your head, picture it all over your body and it should come out"
"What!? How can we focus on mana, our body and magic!?" someone screamed.
"In battle, anything can happen, it's important to find multiple ways to use your magic so you don't get hurt, so yes, it's hard for you all, but possible, i want you all to SLOWLY learn it. Class, go to the river, I'll be watching soon" Nami said.
Everyone stood up, wondering how they can perform such acts.
"Nerina, I need to speak with you," Nami whispered quietly.
Nerina's heart skipped a beat, beads of sweats trickled down her face.
"Huh?" Kento questioned.
"Don't worry, she isn't in trouble. Please everyone wait outside. " Nami's eyes glanced at Sabina who had been standing there quietly.
"Of course" she smiled before leaving the room with the others.
—-----
"Are you Nerina's friends?" Sabina asked.
"Yeah, however, her friends are in other classes." Kento said.
"Yeah!!" Kyomi laughed
"That's cute. It's important to support each other." Sabina gleamed.
We should go to the river side, like your teacher requested" She smiled warmly "I really want to get to know you as students.
"Oh yay!" Kyomi jumped, "Well there's me: Kento, Nerina, Kieran….."
—--
"You seem tense? You shouldn't be, I called to help" Nami chuckled. "Xiang asked if she wanted to train you a bit, since obviously, both your powers are in the body. "
Nerina relaxed.. "Uhh… sure, I need all the help I need…" I muttered quietly.
After that talk with teacher Nami, Xiang became my teacher, she taught me the body's weaknesses, when to attack and how to save mana- my weakness.
She shared that when I attacked, I used a high amount of mana, so I should learn to save mana while attacking. It's hard, but I can make it.
—------------
"I'm so beat!" Thalia slugged on the bench. "What does Kaseem mean? I should protect myself when attacking."
"Hey, that reminds me, I'm making gloves that prevent your arms from like…bruising," Ravi said. "Hoa said I should try to not focus on my experiments and I should learn different plants and their abilities. "
Thalia brightened "really Rav? I've never loved anyone so much" Thalia hugged him tightly.
"Yeah, it keeps your hand from bruising easily, and your bones from breaking, it isn't powerful, since I don't really know much about people without magic. "
"Oh Ravi, thank you!" Thalia cheered.
"My teacher said I should learn how to use my mana," Nerina finally spoke.
