"It's alright buddy, it's the first day you all just came from different parts of the world. Just please get in line." The man seemed laid back, but then Alex noticed that it was the first day and the man might not be as leisure later. He got in the back of the line, since it would be rude to just skip to the front and he wasn't really feeling too excited. He had no idea what he was supposed to do, but he decided to wait to ask until the rest of the people finished whatever they were doing.

The water bender girl seemed to be a bit nervous. Alex knew that some people found it frightening to be stared at and expected something of, and that is why he never cares about what people besides his close friends think of him. He stopped his thoughts and decided to pay attention to the water bender, so he could study what she was doing. The girl was able to freeze the water, but it broke into hundreds of shards. She made a forward motion, then a lot of the shards hit the wall. The rest of the pieces melted in the air, but Alex knew that she was good and that it took quite a bit of effort to freeze water. "That's so simple, yet impossible for me." She sighed and the tension in her shoulders was released. "The reason why I am doing is to see your strengths and weaknesses." The avatar told the entire class this, so Alex decided he would speak privately with the Avatar on how to fix Alex's flaws. Alex was a fool, but he knew this and he didn't care. He was not surprised that some of the students should be advanced, since this was the academy made by the Avatar himself.
