"You just keep telling yourself that." How bad his vision really was, AJ didn't know, but she wasn't going to admit him taking his glasses off would be a disadvantage for him. At least not right now while they were still practicing.
It was more than just "not bad" but she smiled anyways. It was nice actually hitting an target. AJ fist bumped her boyfriend back and watched as he did his thing. It was going up, but would it hit a target?
"Good job---" Oh, but that wasn't the target he was actually aiming for.
"Better luck next time." A hit was a hit in her eyes. AJ's eyes lit up at his offer.
"You're on." AJ grabbed a balloon and off she went.
"One...two... THREE!" "Alarte Ascendare!" Her balloon was on the move. It was past the first row. Could she really make a hit this time? And on her actual intended target!!!
POP!!!
Orange paint was splattered ALL over a target on the TOP ROW. The lion hopped up and down in her excitement.
"Did you see that?" she asked already knowing the answer. How could he not see it? EEP. She did it!
Of course he got a ready-to-go, positive reply from AJ. Competition was her thing and Adi was right there with her. Of course he was; it had been his idea. He snagged another balloon and on AJ's count to three, he cast the spell.
"ALARTE ASCENDARE!" With a VERYYY enthusiastic brandish. This balloon too, shot up towards the target. Like REALLLLYYY shot up. The problem was, Adi had not read the pace of the movements of the top row targets properly and so his balloon went RIGHT PAST the targets and towards the ceiling.
SMACK!POP!
Bright pink paint splattered across the top of the room, joining the other colours of paint and bits of busted rubber bladders. Heh. Let's just forget that happened, yes?

But like AJ said, Catman can clean it up if he didn't appreciate his students' help.
"AWESOME job, AJ!'' Yesh, he did see that. Adi had turd his attention to his girlfriend's work. Orange paint.
"Orange is good luck for you,'' he observed casually.
"Let's go again?" And this time he WOULD get one of those targets!
