Five.. four.. three.. two.. one.. time was UP!

Wand aloft, Tiara shot several rounds of red sparks into the air. "Alright, that's it!" she called, her voice magically modified. "Everyone back towards the door!" She trooped up there herself, freezing some of the moving obstacles in place as she went.

"Gather around," she motioned as people began to arrive. There was a blackboard in the shadows that she rolled out.

Once she was confident everyone had made their way here, she began. "Today you were put in a stressful situation, and no, there is no prize for the winners other than self-discovery and learning."And in her eyes, those were more valuable anyhow. "Everyone responds differently under pressure, and your Balance Number can help you know how to better respond in difficult situations."

"For example, my initials are TZT. The values for those letters are 2, 8, and 2. If we add those together and reduce," calculations appeared on the board, "we get a 3 for my balance number."

TZT: 2+8+2 = 12 = 1+2 = 3
"Over the years I have use this knowledge to temper my reactions. Believe it or not, I was quite hot-headed at your age; discovering my balance number helped me start to mellow out a bit." Once she started in Arithmancy, she had been drawn to this calculation right away. Her life as a gymnast had taught her balance was important, so this number resonated with her deeply.

"Now. I would like you to work out your balance numbers. I assume you all brought your parchment and quills to class?" They hadn't known the activity ahead of time, of course. "The ground is perfectly fine for a desk today. Please calculate your own balance number and interpret according to chapter 24's interpretations."
