It was a bit of an emotional sprain to go straight from watching for Koa's spiking Radiance to coaching him in weaponised trauma, but... Yeah, she could handle it. The team needed exotic moves to beat their opponents. "Okay. Fer all that I act like I got my shit t'gether, I also got some dark...

Brisa couldn't help but give a sharp chuckle. They had the room booked for a full hour yet, what did he take her for? "No way. We both have energy and there's more to be taught. How about y'try Shadow next? It's another powerful but risky and uncomfortable asset, same as Radiance. An' yeah, ya...

"Depends," she said, sincerely. "I gave a couple of examples jus' now, but another thing that helps is t'think of friends who need me t'keep my shit t'gether. Friends who wouldn't want me hurtlin' outta control. If it gets real bad, I focus on... Well. Times I've seen it go wrong." "More'n...

Brisa's Working Hours - training, both solo and with the team - giving combat lessons to promising Cibus natives at reasonable rates - sitreps with Diyem, coordinating team efforts together with other high energy PCs, especially Owen - some side missions, dungeon clearing type stuff, to earn...

"Radiance came over ya. Y'got a bit excited there, started usin' it again. Remember what I told ya about it?" Brisa sighed, and offered Koa a tired smile. "Pal, Radiance will carry you away with it until y'fuckin' detonate, if you ain't well-grounded. Focus on something to keep in control. The...

Brisa frowned. She'd wanted to get him to unlock his Radiance fully, then break the news about the risks. It had probably helped him actually feel enthusiastic training, but this was the drawback. Hubris. And the boy was still hampering her magical control as if she hadn't just reminded him that...

Brisa braced herself, but an electric magic attack was easy enough to dissipate. It still hit like a train, though. Yeah, this kid would do well in the thick of the fighting, once he had a little discipline. "Fuckin' outstandin'," she called, her voice sounding faint in her ears after the sheer...

That move—! Yes, that was a proper Radiant move! Whatever it was, it was empowering his attack enormously! It hit Brisa with more force than she'd even expected, the air rippling around her with the sheer volume of the sound. She couldn't hear her wild laughter in her own skull, nor take a full...

Brisa couldn't dodge that one—she put up a Protect shield at the last second, and felt the rush of aura-blasted dust over her paws. "Fuckin' fantastic! Keep it up!" He was learning so fast. It was a delight to see. And his strength would catch up to the rest of the party in no time. Good...

Brisa took the snarl, and was delighted when it made her head ring. Koa must've drilled that move hard to get that good. Good lad. When he threw himself at her, she moved faster, getting him in the flank with a Quick Attack. Come on, kid, don't you know I'm a melée specialist? Play to your...

"Most times, folks use their Radiance intuitively. When it counts. Might take a real fight fer you t'see it happen fer yerself." Not necessarily, though... Brisa grinned darkly. "So I'll give you a real fight." Her fur sparked off and she felt the rush of Arcflash giving her a supercharge...

Brisa grinned. Okay. Not bad. "Sure. Radiance comes outta folks in different ways. Icetales inspires the team, makes 'em hit harder. Dave protects people, gives 'em barriers against attacks. Starr pushes herself beyond her limits, optimisin' her aura fer speed an' power in no time. What d'you...

"Everyone has a Shadow, Koamaru of Canalave. You'll meet yers." Sombra evaporated, and Brisa grimaced. It was never comfortable having her inner self on display, but she was learning to accept it. "Today we'll be focusin' on the use of Blacklight in combat. It's one of Team Spectrum's greatest...

Brisa smiled sadly at Sombra. The Shadow was just her, with all her suppressed pain and exhaustion on display. "I'm figurin' out how to exist more peacefully than I did before. I'm gettin' somewhere with it." Sombra looked Koa up and down, her expression hard to read. "What's the chip on yer...

"Sky an' stars, I guess y'oughta hear it. Okay." Brisa closed her eyes, unable to say the words. While she struggled, there was a sigh in the air, and the soft pawsteps of Sombra, emerging from her body. "I floated above her as she begged to be killed so she couldn't hurt anyone again," said...

He was taking it in. Good. Brisa liked attentive students. Now might be the best time to tell him about Shadow, too, while he was receptive. "Shadow is similar. Whatever secret, uncomfortable thoughts y'got buried away'll rise to the surface when yer full of Shadow. You won't explode, but once...

Brisa nodded. Best to give him the full run-down. After all, he was already approaching basic mastery of core combat proficiencies, and the best thing for him now was to start picking up Blacklight techniques. "The more Radiance you take on, the less of a barrier there'll be between what...

Brisa made a sort of grimace. Someone had put it like that, huh? Such a violent word for it. Not inaccurate, though. "Ah, yeah. The technique you used last time won't build up radiance in yer body, it ain't that kinda move. So it's safe. But there are consequences to usin' the Blacklight, that...

Brisa smiled approvingly as her student arrived at the normal time and place. A few weeks into Koa's arrival, and the kid was surpassing expectations. Punctual, enthusiastic, only a little difficult from time to time in that way youths could have. Certainly less difficult than she'd been at his...

Zeraora's stoicism had a limit, then. And an origin, perhaps. "I'm glad you've found the way of livin' that fits yer soul," said Luz, "but I don't reckon I'm like you in that way, ma'am. Mind you... Fer my 'ancestor', the stories tell of 'em takin' a lover each generation. I don't think I could...
