The balls finally stop their perpetual motion, falling to the floor as though gravity suddenly had hold of them.
"Good Job girls" Shiva nods approvingly. Unnoticed before, a couple of hansome young men have carried a large cooler of chilled bottled water onto the field and started passing them out. "Make sure you drink slowly, You just had a heck of an exertion. "

Apollo appeared from the glass with a bit of dirt and glass on her legs and knees. I can't believe throwing grass worked, although they do explode and throw the grass back at you, but at slow speeds. Apollo too a sip of her drink and froze, she didn't like normal water. She added light crystals and finished her drink. She was quite happy now and also a buit hyper.

"my apologies for being late teacher but the moment i arrived i thought i heard you say no DEFENSIVE magic was to be used and if such really was the case then i should not be in trouble because i only used my powers not to defend but to dodge the balls just the same as all else here" "in fact i can very well quote your words from the second i arrived and i quote" sailor shiva "Remember girls, no defensive magic. This isn't a shields class!" she then drank her water given to her and looked at the teacher for her response

"That my dears is one of the basic exercises we'll be doing this semester. As you progress, the balls will move faster and more erratically. One you've mastered cantrips in your other classes, you will also be fighting each other. Your instructers will be keeping me informed of your progress in that area. I don't want any of you getting hurt because someone doesn't know how to dial down their spells correctly.
During the semester, we will be doing alot of Magic free exercises like this one. Its very important that you refrain from using magic during them. This includes magics that increase speed, awareness, ect.
We do this for a couple reasons.
One, you WILL be in situations where you're unable to use your full powers. Either because you've been fighting all day and are exhausted, or because you're channeling a powerful spell and have to drop those extra spells to cast it. Alternatively, there have been instances where magical girls have encountered situations where their magic doesn't work at all.
The other quite simply, is that many of your spells gain effectiveness with your own natural ability.
Spells that make you faster make you even faster based on your own speed. The same spell will make you twice as fast, if you where twice as fast to begin with. The same is true with perception spells and the like.
Personal deflection spells while no more effective, put a bigger drain on your person if you're hit. If someone hits you with a fireball, and you shield though it, it will take as much energy out of you as casting that fireball itself. If it glances off you, it will take less, but being able to dodge a blow is going to take a much smaller hit to your stamina then having to power a spell to counteract a fireball to the face.
Any questions so far?

Shiva nods at Scarlett and waits for questions. Not hearing any she continues.
"Along with these exercises you will be expected to spend time training outside of class. That means time running, either on the track behind me, or wherever you prefer. If you're not used to running, you may start with Jogging, or whatever you're able to do, but you WILL need to work up to running. We will track your progress as we progress through the semester.
I will also be teaching you excerisizes to be done in your spare time. They are designed to improve your mobility. Some of them you may already know from gymnatiscs or other classes. I saw some of you doing some of them on the field."
I understand there is a swordsmanship class opening up, I highly recommend that as well. I hear the instructor is quite good.
Any questions so far?

Sailor Shiva Shiva scanning the field, gingerly swatting the occasional stray ball away.
"Remember girls, no defensive magic. This isn't a shields class!"
"Duck and weave girls! Whoever comes outta this with the fewest hits gets icecream after class!"
Shiva grimaced as one girl is hit square in the forehead.
"You're going to have some very nasty things thrown at you over the years, if you want to survive long enough to throw something back, you will need to be able to dodge!"
*shes the girl that had the sphere hit directly in the forehead* owie.... that hurts.... *randomly punches the sphere*

Midnight slowly sips her cup of water as she listens to the instructor. "Man, this is just as hard as training back at home.. but we didn't run so much.. hopefully I can keep up. Just need to train at it like everything else..."

HIdden From The Light Seems interesting. Can't wait for Gym. But do we get a few weeks breaks in the holidays to visit family? (if we have some) Although that was her comment Apollo turned a bit depressed "I believe so yes, I believe there is a bit of a break between semesters. I sadly don't have the schedule in front of me. Like you, this will be my first semester at this academy. " "I encourage you to not stop your daily training however during that time, or you will come back slow and bloated from holiday food. Getting back in shape after doing that isn't too pleasant."

HIdden From The Light And one more. What happens if one of us magical girls turn evil, somehow.
Shiva widens her eyes in suprise. The question was somewhat out of hte blue.
Sighing sadly "Thats a sad reality of our existance. We call this "turning". Magical girls have all the emotional range and issues as normal girls, plus both the stress and power of our abilities. Enemy's periodically take advantage of this. They sew lies in our ears, or use enchantments that feed on our negative emotions.
What happens next can vary. Ussually you can pull the girl back to our side, either by magic or persuasion. This however can take awhile to work out. The number a spells and effects that can cause a turning is vast. Finding out what will bring a girl back can take some work, and as magical girls, you can do alot of damage. Regardless this is always our preference. Especially since most cases of of turning is because of magical outside influence.
Sometimes however the girl is beyond redemption and has to be dealt with in a permanent manner. Less powerful girls can sometimes be stripped of their ability by certain powerful beings. Others can be locked up like any other criminal. More powerful girls have to be magically imprisoned. Some however, sadly, have to be slain.
As your Willpower teacher will tell you, this is why its so important to build powerfull connections with your peers. Listen to each other, build solid relationships. The enemy can't feed off your negative emotions if you build a good support system. If you ever have an issue make sure you talk to someone about it.

"Levitation like all forms of magic both puts a drain on your reserves and can be negated in a variety of ways. "
"Worse, rarely there have been enemies who can detect the use of magic. Spells that run non-stop like levitation, speed buffs and shields, ect can act as a homing beacon. There have been times where our only option was to shut down the magic, run and regroup."
"Thus we will be building strength in both your magic and your body.
Running is for your body. If you happen to have the ability to fly, levitate, climb walls, swim like fish or otherwise move in a manner not normal for a human girl, you will need to spend equal time exercising that as well. "
"We will be doing exercises using your special abilities in addition to our magic free exercises. It however is your responsibility to do daily solo exercise on your own."
