There was an obstacle course set up for the class today. Because nothing taught team-building quite like blatantly copying something Magnus went through on a corporate retreat and promptly disregarded.

"Okay, so you all have gear. Or not. Maybe you left them at home, I can't make those choices for you," Magnus said, frowning because people who didn't bring their entire inventory everywhere with them were weird.

"Hopefully you at least brought something today, because it might be your hardest yet." Mainly because it involved trust. Look, Cara had issues there.

...don't make him get punched trying to hug you, Cara.

"So, the idea is that you all work together as a team to get through this without leaving a man, elf, or dwarf behind. But you can probably leave a bard behind if you wanted to." He was pretty sure none of the kids were bards.

If they were, they should have been reconsidering their life choices. "So it's probably not a good idea to try singing encouragement."

"Unless it heals or buffs. Only then," Magnus added. "So, uh... good luck and we'll see you at the end of the road." Your teachers would def be at the end, drinking fancy drinks and enjoying the show.

"You'll need it." Clearly Cara was only being ominous because of that trust thing. Yep.

About 6 inches off the ground is a series of five 6½ foot long planks of wood, the ends of which are resting on small, circular metal pegs built into the ground, they make a zigzag pattern over a span of 30 feet, and you notice that below this series of planks, or essentially this low ropes course, that the floor is lava.

Literally lava because Magnus thought that was more fun and Cara was Cara.

A lifetime of having to weave between drunks while carrying plates of wet rot and gloop to tables had prepared Uma for this. She just ran over the planks and didn't look down, trusting in her balance to keep her upright.

Yeah, this was a basic training back at Signal, and Yang didn't even feel the need to use her gauntlets. She took off at a run along the planks, occasionally jumping corners to hit the next beam running.

Khadgar was tempted to use magic, but he was also kind of curious to see if he could get across without trouble. Some jumps and un-singed robes later, he was very excited to have crossed the planks.

Well, this didn't remind Ahsoka of anything, really.

She lightly dashed along the planks, sometimes leapign from peg to peg.

Summer had a kick-ass helm that said nice things about her when she wore it that looked ridiculous in any other context. So, yeah, she was totally wearing it with her to class. And she'd also made good on making matching armor, and was wearing that to class, too, because where the hell else would she wear it? It wasn't very effective armor, but it looked pretty damn good (the helm had said so!). She'd made armor in less convenient conditions than Fandom High, so she was pretty confident she'd done a good job.

However, armor, ineffective as it was, was kind of a hindrance in an obstacle course, and Summer started to doubt her decisions.

Luckily, a childhood of fake The Floor is Lava was proving useful even against real The Floor is Lava, as well as paying very close attention and a lot of encouraging words from her helm.
