The inside of the spirit-shaping classroom was almost uncomfortable. After having spent the night having difficulty sleeping, then sitting alongside the Grand Inquisitor, Tolan wasn’t sure he wanted to have a day in his spirit class, but seeing as how they had these infrequently, he needed to attend as many as he could.

There were fewer students here than he expected. Could some have decided they weren’t going to reach spirit and simply abandoned class?

The classroom setting was oftentimes difficult to sit through. When it came to spirit, Master Aela was particular about how she used it, ensuring the students sat organized across the floor in a specific pattern. A thick rug spread across the floor, which she claimed was designed to help them feel as if they could reach something more.

“Today I would like all of you to focus your minds. We are going to work on opening yourself up to each of the elements. As all of you have reached the second level, all of you have potential for spirit within you.”

“We can all be Inquisitors?”

The question came from the front of the room, and there was a nervous sort of chuckling after it.

“Not all will become Inquisitors. The Inquisitors are those who have a natural spirit shaping ability, not the way we are going to practice today. I know their presence around the Academy can be somewhat intimidating, but the Inquisitors are here for all of our protection.”

Tolan glanced at Ferrah. She sat in front of him and over a few rows, and seemed to recognize he was looking in her direction. When she glanced back at him, she shook her head slightly.

She didn’t want him to do or say anything, though he didn’t know if there was anything to do or say.

“What we’re going to work on today is your way of opening yourself up to each of the elements. Now, I don’t have a bondar for each of the elements the way some of you might need”—her gaze paused on Tolan for a moment before drifting around the rest of the room—“but as each of you has the potential to shape each of the elements, you are all capable of at least reaching for their power. It doesn’t have to be shaped in order for you to open yourself up to spirit.”

“It’s not going to work,” Jonas grumbled next to him.

“How do you know? If we can reach spirit, think of how useful that might be for us.”

Jonas looked over, shaking his head. Tolan and Ferrah hadn’t gotten him involved in much of anything, not wanting to dig into the rumors of the possible traitor at the Academy. The presence of the Inquisitors all around had limited their desire to do so. For the most part, Tolan—and everyone else at the Academy—went about their studies but did so in a way that would hopefully keep them from drawing too much attention.

He had a pair of bondars with him, both the earth and fire, and with them,
