Astragalus<br/><strong>Date/Time:</strong>September 12 (10:00 AM)<br/><strong>Location:</strong>Power Control Lecture, 2nd Floor<br/><strong>Tagging:</strong>Choko, Open<br/><hr/><br/>"Now class, I know what you're thinking. 'Power Control is boring, why do we need to learn about it?' This isn't just a class about learning how to control your powers, it also teaches you about moderation, when to apply them and, perhaps most importantly to you, the times when it is perfectly valid to use your powers. For example, Gerald, using your electric powers to keep your iPod going is very creatkve! However, I must also ask that you not listen to that while I'm teaching, okay?" The teacher smiled at the student in question, a male of Raichu legacy with one earbud hanging from his ear running all the way to an iPod hidden in his pocket.<br/><br/>"Not afraid to call out students, huh? I better take this seriously..." Michael frowned, as he sat up straight. He glanced to the side, realizing a familiar figure had come to the class with him... The very same girl he'd missed swimming alone at the pool earlier that day.<em>'Choko? What's she doing in a class like this?'</em><br/><br/>"Control isn't just about keeping a tight grip on your powers. Sometimes the more you hold them back, the more they want to break free. Sometimes it's okay to use your powers in self-defense, even if you're not aware of them. Michael-"<br/><br/>"Can we please not bring that up, Miss?" Michael pleaded with the teacher, who seemed she was going to make his incidents the focus of this next topic.<br/><br/>"No, no, you must'nt be ashamed of attending this class! Most people would forgo the need! Now, class, you may or may not know Mr. Astragalus here ran into some problems during his first days at the academy. Back then, he had no control over his powers, and some... Incidents occured. This may have been the wrong way to use such powers, but it still shows a time when it is perfectly possible to use them: When faced with adversity, when under the assail of a foe, from any situaton where you muse protect or otherwise defend yourself... The point is, sometimes outside triggers may bring us to use our powers without meaning to. Discerning what degree of power should be necessary for each encounter is something you're all here to learn." the teacher smiled, holding her hands together despite the fact a few snickers rolled through the classroom in recollection of Michael's initial days at the academy.<br/><br/>"In time, with this class, you won't have to think about using your power, you'll be able to<em>feel</em>when the best time to use your power is and will it into action immediately with no time needed or energy wasted needlessly. If this interests you, then I urge you to pay attention from here on out." she finished, turning to go back to writing on the board.<br/><br/>"Well, that's just my luck to become an example to everyone else..." Michael sighed, before he leaned over a bit. "So... Choko, what are you doing here? I didn't think I'd see anyone with a familiar face here."
