The Headmaster
As well as the Headmaster managed the class, when the bell rang, all but a few departed the lines, gathered their bags, and rushed out the door, eager to meet the food stalls. The Headmaster noticed Tsuki's respect, for she was one of the few who stayed. She smiled and nodded, grateful, and left, taking her bag with her. He cleaned up the mess the class had made, having no regret for leaving Tsuki to manage or continuing the game. He was glad the students had enjoyed class for once.
After he finished cleaning, he was disappointed to see that the scheduled sun was replaced with rain. 'Even as a teacher, he is still a kid...' He shook his head from side to side and exited the room, locking the door behind him. He descended the two flights of stairs and made his way into his office. The loudspeaker began.
Would Mr. Prior please pay a visit to the Headmaster's office? Thank you.

.::TsukiShe hides behind her dyed hair... 
After Tsuki left the room, she made her way over to the library, a place where she could escape the rain and not be interrupted from her reading by the common chatter of the school. Besides, she had no appetite for food. She only had a hunger for books at that moment.
Entering the library, she could not escape a pause in appreciation of the amazing room before sitting down in a different seat than the morning. She hurriedly opened the book she had been wanting to finish since she had stopped when class had started. Her eyes dove into the lustrous pages of parchment and ink, devouring the story.
...painting her dripping eyes black. Kohana::.

Jin took in every word that Leah spoke. His mind absorbed it like a sponge to water. It was something he had been working on and something he should continue to work on. At her last statement, Jin nodded and met her eye to eye before he spoke. "Thank you for the information. I wanted to protect the school. Though I never speak to the students or the teachers much, they mean more to me then they think." It was a first Jin spoke his mind or anything about his feeling. But at one point or another, he had to speak some time.
"I was just doing what I felt was right." Jin smiled, slowly standing and picking up his backpack. "I am well to move. Is there anything else Ms. Montoya?"

Hearing his last name behind the word 'Mister' through the loudspeaker Jake winced openly and slowly looked towards the main building. Wondering what kind of a** chewing he was going to get this time he went inside, changed into a clean pair of comfortable clothes (such as baggy mess shorts and a black shirt), and headed for the Headmaster's office while staying dry.

The Headmaster
"I know you hate the formality, but you are here, yes?" the Headmaster said from the shadows once Jake had closed the door. "Now Defi," he began, using the name Jake preferred, "why must you act as a child? You are a teacher now." His voice was calm and smooth, and the darkness he was engulfed him added to the cool atmosphere. Jake, however, was bathed in light from the dim light on the wall behind him, whose rays ended at the Headmaster's shoe. A chair and a small, elegant table with two cups of tea and a tea kettle were in front of him, also bathed in cool light.
"Please, sit, and let us discuss your behavior," he said, reminiscing to the time of when he wa sent to his office as a child. Except that time, the whole room was covered in darkness and there was no tea. Quite a fright for a child, especially without tea.

Jake glanced around and sensed his own sweat. Well..if things get hairy...at least I'll be able to dehydrate myself to get the hell outta here. He thought to himself and plopped down on the chair. He had remembered the first time he was here. That was before he could sense all the water in the room, though even now he felt uncomfortable while digging deep and burying his fear into the center of his mind. Will this be a warning like last time? Or have I grown too old for warnings.? A slap on the wrist maybe. Again he thought to himself but stayed silent and kept his eyes on where the Headmaster's would be if he wasn't hiding in the shadows.

The Headmaster
The Headmaster's arm extended from the darkness, poured the tea into the two cups, put down the kettle, and grabbed the cup. The cup was withdrawn into the black and the sound of a sip could be heard. Without putting down the cup, he began to speak.
"Why must you disrupt my school?" he asked, smiling within the darkness. Two days in a row did Jake force the Headmaster to do which he did not want to do. This could be problematic and could result in consequences for Jake.

Leah was pleasantly surprised by Jin’s statement, she smiled at his openness and compassion for the school. For many of those attending or working here, this school was home. “No, nothing else for now, just eat something healthy to regain your energy. Oh, what elective are you taking if you don’t mind my asking?” Leah asked Jin before he left the classroom.

Why must you be such an a**? He thought to himself but kept silent as if thinking of what to say. "It's in my nature. You should know this by now." Jake "Defi" Prior stated out loud and fiddeled with his fingers. "Just like how it's in my nature to protect this school and its occupants at all costs even if that cost is my life. Or how I ended up in the nurse's office in a solid chunk of ice when that arrogant b*****d from the Air element class decided to pick on the nerdy kid with the glasses who couldn't make a fire ball without a match and a fart." The nerdy kid Defi was talking about was now an elemental accountant and making money by the millions. A good friend of Jake's, who thanks him even to this day.

Jin nodded with a smile. "Physical Education." He replied. He hoped that strengthening his body would help him fight the stress his powers caused when he performed his techniques and allow him to sustain his abilities longer. He turned and walked to the classroom door before stopping. "Have a good day Ms. Montoya." Jin spoke before fully leaving the class room.

The Headmaster
"You are right, Defi. I do know you," the Headmaster agreed, still reminiscing. He chuckled a bit as Jake resorted to his crude language, always entertaining the Headmaster. He finally got up and sat down at the chair, accompanying Jake in that light. His casual smile was back. After taking a sip of his tea, and motioning for Jake to do the same, he put it down and spoke.
"Please, Defi, try to control yourself, ok? For my sake," he added. He had not had to reveal himself in years, and just this week he had already revealed himself. Twice. Perhaps that was why it wore him to such limits. He hoped he would not have repeat himself tomorrow.
"I give you reasonable permission to teach your class today. But please, as it is a physical education class, please be careful. Because I know you too well, I know how you can go overboard. Perhaps you could teach them some tricks, eh?" he suggested with a twinkle in his eye.

The way he sat next to him made him feel uncomfortable. The fact that the headmaster was treating this like old friends talking about self control. Jake muttered something unintelligible and got up to leave.

The Headmaster
"Very well, then," were the only words the Headmaster muttered to the departing water teacher. He took a deep sigh of disappointment. Not in Defi did he see a lack in ability, but himself. Once Defi had left his room and close the door behind him, the Headmaster stood up, went over to the light switch on the side of the room, and switched it off, engulfing himself in darkness. He would remain this way for the duration of school, as he had no classes to substitute for. Anyone who would try and find him would lead a long search, only to find his door locked.

Once Defi was out of the Headmaster's office, he didn't blow out air in a sigh of relief. He didn't have time to. Lunch was all but half over and he still needed to think of a class plan for the day. Walking to the gym he figured they'd do some stretching then go over some safety rules, and probably go through some CPR and first-aid training for days when Liriale couldn't be there.

Liriale stomped towards the gym but on hearing the announcement from the headmaster, who paged Jake on the PA system, she realized she had missed him.
The gym was slippery and had many puddles covering the glossy wood floor. “Mr.Finkle will have a heart attack when he sees this,” Liriale mused and began to use her powers to slowly evaporate the water. Once the damp floors were squeaky clean she lowered her hands and eyed a rack of basketballs in the corner that had been overturned by the rushing water. Walking over to it and putting it right, she took one basketball and began to try some shoots from the free-throw line. Liriale was wearing her black yoga pants, white comfy sneakers, and a light blue Adidas sports top. She had planned on teaching her students some yoga, hence her outfit, though now she was seeing if she still had her game, like many years ago.
