"I'm sure most of you are keen on leaving this class early," Magneto announced as he walked into the danger shop precisely as the bell rang. "Rest assured your homecoming activities can wait. Fun and frivolity has it's place. So does knowledge."

"Before the fall break we watch a movie," he continued as he began his regular circuit around the room. "About a man and his desire for a free country for his people. You may ask: what made that man different from others? For that I can give you a simple answer: conviction. As I mentioned before, just because you may take the option of non-violence does not mean it's going to be easy."

He gave his students a sinister grin and snapped his fingers. The danger shop swift changed from blank walls to what appeared to be a modern day protest. The only switch to this that there were counter protesters on the other side.

"Today, we're going to test your conviction," Magneto said with a malevolent look of glee. "And just see how well you can do. If you wish to bow out... you may. However that may tell me more about you than any other class you have taken with me so far."

He pointed at the protest going on and gestured for the class to join in. "Begin."

Well now that you've gotten all dirty, the counter protesters feel you need to be cleaned.

Which is why they are now spraying you with cold water from a fire hose.

Cassidy was full of anger at these people, but instead of lashing out at them, she brought up her strongest shield instead. She would never be able to understand such anger and hate.

At least it wasn't Agio...

Okay, that was way more uncomfortable than the vegetables had been. Like... way more. And eye blasts weren't going to stop that much water from hitting people full-force.

Evan managed to restrain himself, but there was raw energy, white-hot and dangerous, crackling off of his body as he ducked low and took the brunt of the pressure from the fire hose.

The first spray of water knocked Karla clear on her ass, leaving her soaked and sputtering. "Oh it is on now, motherfuckers," she muttered.

"Really? Must we?" Loki was less than impressed by the use of a fire hose now.

Now that was a waste of clean water! What the Hell was with these landens?

"What, exactly, are they annoyed about?" she asked aloud. "This doesn't seem very productive."

At least it gave her a chance to practice with her Craft? Surreal spun her power into a shield tight to her body and sat down. To the counter-protesters, it would look like she was being hit with the water, but the force and the water were directed away from her. It was admittedly a decent exercise for shield control.

Water was... actually not quite as bad as the vegetables. Cold and infuriating, yeah, but at least it didn't smell.

The waterbender in the room certainly wasn't doing anything to gentle the force of the spray. She was just sitting there, meditating. Still. Not building up any kind of rage.

Billy put up with the water for about ten seconds before murmuring a spell to send the water back at the counter protestors. It wasn't really violent, was it?
