"Looks like we missed someone on the List of Excellence for the Fall Quarter Exam, and this guy is now on probation. Anyone mind explaining that?" the Director of the Hall of Thunder Element demanded, casting a sharp, icy glance at Tom.

Kai's golden eyes never wavered from his work. The pencil in his hand danced like a bolt of lightning over the scrolls, weaving patterns of power with near-divine precision.
