The teacher seemed....odd. Mikhail couldn't quite put his finger on it, but she sure wasn't very happy. Her choice of words for those who were directionally challenged (like himself) seemed a bit harsh. Pathetic? Really? Mikhail rolled his eyes. Were all American's like this? At the very least, she could have picked a different word choice than pathetic. Idiotic, perhaps.

The tour was interesting. The school was quite big. There were libraries, classrooms, labs, lounges, etc. It was almost like a university. Of course, Mikhail had no idea where they were going, or even how he was going to get back to those rooms. He'd probably have to depend on a gps, rather than a map.

They eventually stopped at a gym. Apparently they were to be training all day. Interesting. Was it training only pertaining to their abilities, or was it wider spread? Without the gravity manipulation, he was a fairly good fencer, and even more importantly, knew how to dodge. There were also those standard martial arts sort of things, required by his employer. When dodging failed, knowing how to flip someone twice your size onto their back was pretty helpful stuff. He stood around when the teacher called for them to find a partner. He immediately thought of partnering with Hallie, but then wondered if that was the smartest thing to do. Perhaps he should let both of them branch out and try their powers on someone else? Still, familiarity always helped. He decided to ask just in case. He lowered his head to Hallie's height and muttered, "I don't suppose you'd do me the favor of partnering with me?"
