Teams and... another duel?

Via got into the classroom with her team, and Joshua joined them soon after that. The classroom was bigger than average, and had a second door that said ''training ground.''

Via- (hmm... probably a place to train team tactics...)

[well... it will be useful... if they let us use it.]

Via- (it won't be difficult knowing that we have all the members we need... I'm sure that every full team can use it.)

Marcus sat down on a chair on the back of the room, and was followed by the rest of the team. Via continued looking at the room, and found the professor looking at them from the ceiling. He was a black haired guy that had a black tuxedo and was sitting on a chair upside down on the ceiling. The professor saw that Via was looking at him and begun to stare at her too.

Via-...(the professor?)

???-...

Via- (I can't talk... maybe I should create a telepathy class...)

???- ''Interesting...''

Via- (wha...?)

???- ''my name is Sebastian... nah, just kidding. That would be cliche... my name is Gideon Cleaver, and I have to say that if you get to talk... everyone will like your voice.''

Via got a little red, but restrained herself.

Via- (so... you can read minds... and you stick to the ceiling...)

Gideon- ''and I'm technically invisible... but you can see me... can you see the magic in the air?''

Via- (more or less... but that's only because of my class right now (magic apprentice). Ask more to Professor Qween if you want to know. He knows a lot about my skills.)

Gideon- ''hmm... I already have heard of your ability miss.''

Gideon then dropped from the ceiling to his chair, surprising everyone.

Marcus- wow... he was always there?

Via- 'yes, I've been talking mentally with him.'

Ebony- really!? can you do the same with me? Please! Please!

Via- 'it was him the one with telepathy.'

Ebony- and can't you create a class?

Via- 'yes. But I wont...'

Ebony- oww...

Via- '...now. Maybe later.'

Ebony- yay!

Gideon then calmed the classroom, and told them that the stunt never gets old.

Gideon- good. Now, I ask you all. What is the most important thing a team needs?

Every student begun to think, and some of them were even muttering. Then Rose begun to talk.

Rose- the most important thing is Balance. A team needs balanced members so that everyone can use it's skills to the fullest. A full magic team, or a full tanks team shouldn't be able to hold a candle to a balanced team.

Gideon- good, I like it. Something else?

Smug boy- Power. A team needs power to crush the enemy. If a team has weak links or everyone on the team is a weak link, one can't send them to the dangerous missions.

Gideon-... true, on it's own way. Something else?

Everyone was a little quiet, until Marcus spoke.

Marcus- the most important thing is Trust. A team needs trust between its members because you have to trust them with your life on the missions. You talk with them daily, you train with them, and on the moment of truth, independent of your power or balance, you need to trust that they will cover your back.

Gideon-... nice one indeed... trust is important. Something else?

The classroom was quiet after that, and Gideon decided that it was enough.

Gideon- you three gave really interesting and mature answers... but you are still ten years old kids. The answer was that you need members. If you want power or balance, miss Melody has both and she isn't a team by herself. And you guys trust your parents, at least most of you do, and they are not part of you team. You need members, and members is what you will get during this first class.

He begun to talk about teams for ten minutes, and told them that they should talk with their classmates during the rest of the hour. A moment later, Via was in front of the smug boy, whose name was Eobert Pyra.

Eobert- so... you are the top of the class? Well, I'll take that position from you soon enough! What do you say of being on my team? You'll be part of the top team of this year!

Via- 'troublesome. I am already part of the top team of this year, Mr. Pyra. I don't need the position of top of the class as a single student, but our team will be the top team of the year.'

Eobert- oh? What do you say to a duel?

Via- 'I had a duel today with Rose. Can't you lot wait?'

Eobert- don't compare me to that wannabe noble girl! She had the audacity to say that a plebeian like me shouldn't be smug!

Via- pff... *cough* *cough* 'she's like that to everyone... don't worry.'

Eobert- a-are you laughing? Now I really want a duel! After class!

Via- *sigh* (well... there goes my visit to the training rooms...) 'fine. We'll talk with the professor.'

The rest of the class Via talked with some other students, but they were really generic kids. She was surprised that they were so predictable. At the end of the lesson, Rose, Eobert, and Marcus were the only ones to give a list of their teams to Gideon.
