Adelene raised a brow. Was Black just curious? She didn't know what to think, but she simply let him stay with an "It's fine, sir." She's heard how kind Mr. Constantine Black was but she wanted to know more by herself before deciding on that. "Can I join you, sir?" she asked, sitting beside him. "I'm happy you'll let me train under those conditions. I haven't started with classes for this term though."

He really wanted to throw a fit, to show how angry he was, force her to submit and feast on the buffet that was called a school. While he was royally spoiled, it was also because of this that he had to stop himself as it would be unseemly for him to act that way in the eyes of food, untrained or not as all food should see and hear are their overlords words or inclination that they are hungry, nothing else. Untrained food however needs to be thought their places.

Maybe his ultimate plan could start here at this school, maybe it could start with him acquiring her powers, he needed them one way or another. What would a good way to bait her to trust him more, so much that she would continue training to begin with. He had an idea however it would probably remove any chance of instant reward though if done correctly he could get her as his slave.

"Are you alright? You don't have any problem at home and you are not bullied?" Humans did have a tenancy to withdraw into isolation or releasing their emotion in violent ways, some of those violent ways may include the usage of firearms however this should be rare for a student not having this students powers. "I know students may not want to share such information with a teacher however I can promise you I will only listen if that is what you need" He also knew that students may not wish to speak to a teacher about their problems in fear of how bullies or others like that would react if it came out that they squealed, this is also why he offered a way out.

Adelene's face visibly burned a dark shade of red, her eyes widened at him, and she waved her hands in front of her to negate Black's assumption. "It's... It's nothing like that, sir! I'm not being bullied," she said, putting on a sheepish smile. "My classes will begin in a few days is all. Since it's summer and lots of classes finish and begin in this season. How kind of you though. I appreciate your concern, Mr. Black."

She was a little embarrassed. Okay, probably a lot. She was a lot embarrassed. Because a teacher has noticed her and was being kind to her. Then again, Constantine Black was kind to everyone, she hears at least that much about him.

Maybe showing him a bit of her powers can be a good way to show her appreciation?

"Well... I was thinking, sir. Maybe it's not so bad for me to show you my stuff if you're really curious. What do you wanna see?" she offered with an easier smile.

So soon, he had anticipated that she would offer something regarding her powers more and more the more she trusted him but this soon, but instead of complaining he accepted it. He would love to accept her offer but he remembered her saying that she got tired by using it to often, normally he wouldn't care but this was important to his current ideas.

"I would love to see the basics but not at the expense of your health"

His words came with a smile, a genuine at that and not his signature sinister smile either. It was just that he knew that would she agree not to show anything he would probably gain a fragment or the beginning of trust however would she show something to him he would still win. He was in a win-win situation, well for himself anyway, if she decided to show him the basics he could start figuring out the rest by an educated guess.

"The basics would be fine."

Adelene smiled and held out her hand to the lake's direction. Just like how her weapon disappeared a while ago, another one would appear through black crystal dust materializing around her hand and becoming more and more solid to become a pistol. And then she let go, and the weapon turns back to being black particles before seeping into her skin.

"That's mostly it, the basics. I can summon weapons I'm knowledgeable about, and use more energy to load them. That's why I said it was tiring," she explained, turning her eyes to the teacher. Just briefly though. She quickly looked down at her lap as her hands landed on it.

"Mr. Black, am I not taking up too much of your time?" she asked all of a sudden. "You're probably busy, aren't you? I'll walk with you back to school if you're okay with that."

Curiosity took the better of him when he asked the following "Is it restricted to real weapons? What if someone designed a weapon taken from fiction and gave it as much detail as you would need?"

Now how would he avert suspicion from his questions, he didn't know at first but then it hit him. Being curious is normal and having a good alibi for everything could also be seen "You don't have to answer that, if you would rather not." confident in himself and that he would eventually succeed.

"It is kind of you to say." Well he said that but he really couldn't care less, though he needed to keep up this persona of goodness "I would love company back".

"Uh... Now that you mention it... Sir, I actually have no idea..."

Adelene stood up and was preparing to go, but her face was twisted to a thoughtful expression as she tried to remember the boundaries of her powers. Technically it could happen if...

"I think it could happen, Mr. Black. But... the materials have to exist in the real world, and their capabilities and effects should be the natural behavior of the material, and it should be bound by the laws of Physics..."

In other words, she can create a weapon out of instructions or mere blueprints, but they're still materials that can be made manually somehow. Her advantage is that she didn't need to assemble weapons manually, which meant a very complicated didn't matter, as long as the weapon functions right.

She waited for Black, and as they walked, she perked up, shooting the teacher an apologetic smile. "Forgive me, Mr. Black! I forgot to tell my name! I'm Adelene Cross, Physics major."
