Cloud Nine [Monroe]

[Sora Inoue]

Another day, another session of training. That was how Sora's week had been going. He helped students deal with their powers. The problems they faced were familiar to him. Not necessarily his own problems when he was training, but sometimes things his friends dealt with. He knew best how to help from hearing from his friends instead being some metapowers expert.

To be honest, Sora didn't find this routine monotonous. Each student has a different need, and he enjoyed watching them develop and grow. His methods were slow and required a great amount of patience most of the time, but if it led to better control over powers then it was worth it. Quite a few students at times complain and get agitated from this. They want results. Sora didn't blame them; he had that same desire. A few of the sessions that occurred during this particular week had students expressing their impatience. After a while, it was beginning to give the Japanese trainer a headache.

Currently, Sora was alone in a training room waiting for another student to arrive for their training. Monroe, a dream walker coming close to graduation. The trainer knew him some already, and they've had sessions before, so he knew where the young man stood with his abilities. The joy of working with a dream walker was that the power messes with sleep. All Sora hoped was that it wasn't going to be another day with a complaining student.

Monroe walked into the training room, mug of coffee in hand. Another sleepless night, and the fact that graduation was creeping up on him was only making things worse when it came to his power. Was he going to be stuck training at Hammel for the rest of his life? Sure, Sora could help him. He was grateful to even have a trainer. They didn't meet often, mostly because Monroe was sure that he was complicated. His power was so hard to understand, to pinpoint and it was getting old really fast.

"I know this was out of the blue," he said to the Japanese man when he entered the room. "But I had to request a session. I'm getting nervous. Graduation is in...a month and I feel like I'm no where near ready with my power." He let out a frustrated sigh. "And not because of you," he added after a moment, feeling awkward about what he'd said and what it could have implied. "I know I'm hard to work with and that my power doesn't realy make sense. I just have so many questions."
