Today was just like any day at Beacon. Students in class, whichever one it may be, learning something. One particular class had a very small teacher walking into it however. And that teacher was Clove Dianthus. It wasn't the first time these students had seen her, but of course there was still the odd snicker as she walked in. Quickly climbing up onto her desk, she looked over the class with her hands on her hips.

"Now then, good morning girls and boys. I've got a slightly different idea for today. A few demonstrations and perhaps a bout of sparring if we have enough time. Now lets begin with something simple."

Pulling out a small remote, Clove pressed a button to dim the lights. Moving to one side of the desk, she gestured to the lightning sitting away from everyone.

"So obviously you're all aware of how lightning can be used in a fight, or perhaps not if you're not one to be flashy, but regardless of whether you use it or not there are a few things you should know about how it acts. For example, in a storm lightning will follow the path of least resistance which usually leads to the ground. The same will occur when you produce lightning, like so."

Holding her hand out, Clove let a bolt fly from her fingers to the lightning rod. The room lit up for a moment before returning to the dim state it started in. She smiled at the students.

"In this case, the metal of the lightning rod was the best path for the lightning. But what happens if the closest metal is on another person? This is the kind of thing you should be aware of during a fight. Especially if you use Dust. In most cases it's fairly straight forward, but knowing how certain things will act, or react as it may be, to your environment could make all the difference. Moving on."

Clove pressed the button again and light returned to the room. Scanning them quickly, she picked out someone appropriate for the next part of class.

"For the next demonstration I'd like a student to help for a couple of things. How about you Lanse, I think you'd be a perfect helper for this."

He wasn't the first student she'd asked to help with something, but Clove felt he was somewhat more distant than the other students. Hopefully this would be good for him.
