As the mysterious light envelops them, the students find themselves back in the Principal's Room.
However, due to the sudden transportation, they all stumble and fall onto each other in a tangled mess of limbs.
Principal Ryu, Master Liang, and Sensei Mei are in the room, witnessing the comedic scene unfolding before them. Master Liang can't help but laugh heartily, while Sensei Mei's expression is a mix of amusement and concern.
Sensei Mei quickly goes to their aid, asking with a worried tone, "Are you all alright?"
From the pile of students, voices come indistinct but affirmative, "Yeah, we're alright, Sensei."
Kai, now at the bottom of the heap, lets out a groan. "Hey, if you're all done piling on me, could you please stand up?"
The students laugh as they help each other up, Ethan and Michael lending their hands to raise Kai.
Once everyone is standing again, they dust off their clothes and laugh off the awkward landing.
Master Liang smiles warmly and speaks, "You all seem to be enjoying yourselves."
Principal Ryu nods approvingly, "Indeed. It's good to see such camaraderie among students. But let's not forget why you're here."
Sensei Mei adds, "Yes, the purpose of this visit is to receive your chosen techniques. Have you all made your decisions?"
The students exchange knowing glances, excited to share their choices. They take turns explaining their selected techniques, sharing their aspirations and the reasons behind their decisions.
Jackson talks about the "Prana Technique" and how he believes it will enhance his body's strength. Emily beams with pride as she describes the elegance of the "Soul Bow Technique."
Rachel speaks about her affinity for the "Etherial Rapier Technique" and how it perfectly suits her agile combat style. Sarah expresses her enthusiasm for the "Pranic Staff Art," eager to improve both her defensive and offensive abilities.
Ethan, although unsure about the "Radiant Serenity" technique's full potential, remains optimistic. Aoi's excitement is evident as she describes the swift and powerful "Twin Blades of Prismatic Harmony."
Leon feels confident that the "Vital Harmonization Technique" will help him harness spiritual energy effectively. Michael shares his enthusiasm for the "Valor's Resonance" technique and its potential ferocity in battle.
Lastly, Kai speaks about the "Elemental Soulforge Technique." He admits not fully understanding it yet but believes it is the right choice for him.
Sensei Mei smiles and says, "I can see you all have put much thought into your decisions. Trust in your choices, and with diligent practice, you will surely excel."
Principal Ryu adds, "Remember, it's not just the technique that matters but how you cultivate it. The true strength lies within your determination and discipline."
The students nod, feeling encouraged by their mentors' words. Sensei Mei then turns to Kai and asks, "You seem unsure about your technique, Kai. Is there a reason you chose it?"
Kai takes a deep breath and replies, "I don't fully understand it yet, but I feel a connection to the 'Elemental Soulforge Technique.' It's like it was calling out to me."
Sensei Mei smiles warmly, "Instincts can often lead us to our true destinies. Embrace your choice, and with time, you'll unlock its secrets."
Master Liang adds with a hint of mystery, "Indeed, sometimes the path we choose reveals more about ourselves than we could imagine."
As the conversation winds down, Principal Ryu addresses the students, "Now that you've made your choices, go forth and cultivate your techniques with dedication. Let this be the foundation for your future growth."
The students exchange determined glances, ready to embark on their individual journeys.
