[There's an image of a school worksheet. Some of the questions at the top of the page have been answered, some have been half-answered, and there's a few left blank. The handwriting is not the best, but legible.]

Is anyone else taking cross-species communication at the school? I'm really confused about these last questions. Fairy customs are really confusing.

And I don't really get the Elemental Magic assignment either.

I forgot how much I hate homework.

oh i am stuck on that too
i kind of want to talk to the teacher..... i still cant make water very well. i need to figure it out fast.

honestly a lot about school so far seems kind of arbitrary in general..... is it always like that

[theskyaccepts]

I know the feeling. I'm kinda stuck on earth. But I can try to help with water.

Pretty much, yeah. The teachers here are better than the teachers I had back home though

[rediscovering]

really?? are you better with air or with fire?

i've only ever had one good teacher, not counting uncle..
i never clicked with my firebending tutors as a kid, i always struggled
but my swordsmanship master was the best of the best
i learned so much from him, he helped me..
so the bar is set high now, partly because it was set so low apart from him
you know what i mean?
anyway as much as i want to seek their advice in my new magic, i doubt if any of the teachers at this school can compare to piandao
trying to keep his principles in mind even with a new medium.

[ "Medium," as if they were talking truly about art when talking about martial arts, when really talking about magic... The layers of Zuko's allusions show his diligence and single-minded focus so much clearer than he even realizes. ]

Fire. Though, Air sort of makes sense to me. And that's also more because of my flames. Even though they're different.

He sounds like he was really helpful.
Reborn's kind of like that to, when he's not being annoying.
The teachers at my school were all just really mean. Not that I was the best student either...

[rediscovering]

fire cannot burn without air
it makes sense to me that you understand air because of understanding fire
that's how i feel about it too
and it's no surprise to me you're stumped by earth if that's your perspective.. the opposite to air in nature.
like water is opposite to fire. thats why im struggling with it, i think.


i hope the teachers here aren't mean
no lesson should be learned from meanness..
piandao wasn't always clear about what exactly it was he was teaching you or why..... but he was never unkind in doing so. there's a way to be strict and still encouraging.

[theskyaccepts]

That makes sense.
It might also be because I'm the sky, technically. Or have sky flames.
How would I get around it though? That block.

They seem nicer than the ones back home at least.
No one's picked on me yet.
That's usually a good sign.

[rediscovering]

explain that more.

as for the block.....
it's an illusion.
uncle taught me all the elements are connected inextricably.
i don't know how it works here but i imagine the principles are the same, right
im still trying to get through that block myself but we can figure it out together


did the teachers in your school back home used to pick on you??
thats not nice..

[Just gonna, turn on private, because mafia things]

The leader of the Vongola is the Sky, and then the Guardians are all held in the sky. Sun, Rain, Storm, Lightning, Cloud, and Mist. So, I kinda figured, that if I'm the Sky, I under the air because that's what makes up the sky...it's kinda weird, now that I'm saying it out loud. Made sense in my head.

But yeah, everything being connected would make sense
So if you come up with any strategies, let me know!

And yeah, they did.
I wasn't...the best student.
Kinda, easy pickings.
They were mean.
