As he set his mind to the task at hand, he cannot help but get curious as usual. He bit his tongue to remind himself of the present, and that he would raise the question once the broom was in his hand.

Eyes full of determination, he looked at the broom beside his right foot, extended his right arm over it, and shouted the word “UP!”. As he did so, the slightly scratched Yajiurushi broom rose from the ground, and went straight to Jace’s open hand. Now that he was done with the first task, he raised his arm to get McLeod’s attention. “Professor? Is it...really necessary to do this step? Is this some sort of...ritual that must be done, or can we just mount our brooms right away?” Because putting the broom down just to summon it back seemed...impractical, especially if you’re in a hurry. Just saying.

Oho, a question. "This is just a test on your ability to relax with knowing what is coming ahead. There will be many things to watch out for while in the air and it's important to get a feel with your broom before taking off." That should cover it.

Now for the meat of the day, as everyone was right on track. "Alright everyone, it's time to mount onto your broom. Just swing your leg over the broom and keep a steady grip with your dominate hand over your hand. Like so." The Groundskeeper demonstrated for them. "Now first thing we'll be doing is taking off. Once you're fully mounted you are to face in the direction of the air before kicking off the ground with a single jump into a hover." That sounded like a good way to start...

But that was not a lot of fun to Justin, who then grinned from slightly above all once he kicked off. "So once you're hovering, you'll be able to do a little task that'll get you to keep your balance." And with that, he aimed his wand at the occasionally giggling trunk to unlock it, revealing floating fireflies. "They will be floating around this area only, so all you have to do is keep following them through these hoops." With another flick of his wand, there revealed the many hoops some were high and some low near the ground around the Pitch. The highest ones didn't reach the height of the stands, but high enough to get one shaking from the distance.

"Once you've kicked off and found your balance from a short hover you can take off after the fireflies and fly through ten hoops. If you wanna keep a firefly, it's fine by me if you decide to grab hold of one." Taking his whistle out again, On my whistle you can begin. Three, two..."

*TWEEEEET*

OOC: Another task, all you need to do is just hover enough till your character is comfortable enough to take off after the fireflies through the ten hoops. This should take no more than four labeled posts. You'll have two days from this post.
