Natalia had almost forgotten all about having to complete the CHARMS homework that was assigned a couple days ago. Well, whoops. At least she still had some time to complete it before the assignment was due.

When the Lioness reached the annex on the third place in such a hurry, she was essentially out of breath. Natalia just wanted to get this over with so she could return to her little lion den and nap. Napping was important, okay.

Observing the room set up, Natalia mentally calculated her strategy. So, she must keep vigilance on BOTH her aim and the position of the moving target. It required her to remain attentive and precise. This shouldn't be so hard, as Natalia always showed decent skill at hitting targets. Being too lazy to walk over to the trash bin had its advantages sometimes; it could build on one's aiming skills!

Natalia grabbed a couple of those paint-filled balloons and set them on the ground. Craning her neck up to locate the moving targets, Natalia noticed that the ceiling was already filled with multi-colored paint. Well, if she managed to splash the paint on the ceiling too, it wouldn't be entirely her fault. So, that was one less issue to worry about.

"Alarte Ascendare!" Natalia recited half-energetically, watching the balloon ascend half way up the ceiling, missing the first row by a couple inches before dropping the floor. The balloon exploded immediately, splashing green paint all over the FLOOR. How pathetic! Natalia thought as she grabbed another balloon (with a color to more of her liking, this time).
