A Waterbending Quirk

Just some Friendly Competition

"Alright, now focus on it. Don't try and move until it's fully closed."

Katara took a breath as she raised her water covered hands again, activating her healing and bringing it to a student's arm that had a large cut. Recovery Girl watched as Katara went to work on the injury, observing the glowing water shimmering around the blonde girl's arm. After a few moments, Katara pulled her hands back, the cut fully repaired and gone from sight.

"Wow, thank you." The girl said with a smile as she rubbed her healed arm.

"Your welcome." Katara smiled back as the girl stood up.

Recovery Girl walked over and analyzed the teens arm, nodding in approval of the work done. "So, does it feel better now?"

the blonde girl nodded. "Yes it does, thank you."

"That's good. Now if you need anything else just come come back and let me know."

After the student walked out, Recovery Girl couldn't help but smile back at Katara. "Impressive. Your speed at healing lacerations have gotten better."

Katara couldn't help but smile. Over the last two weeks she had been coming after school to the nurses office to conduct her training. After having to explain how her healing worked with her "quirk" as Katara put it, the school nurse was able to come up with various ideas she had learned over the years to help teach the young teen to increase the speed and strength of her healing. Luckily for them, UA high had a tendency of being pretty rough, meaning they had plenty of injuries to practice on for healing. While some students were hesitant letting this other student work on them (especially with the first Hosu event still being talked about) others were quite curious and excited to see a fellow high school student the one healing their injuries.

So far Katara wasn't needed to be guided too much, since she already had a great knowledge of healing. This made it so much easier for Recovery Girl to give her lessons and was able to strictly focus on the process of increasing her strength instead. The waterbender had learned how to increase the focus on the wound, and to insert more energy into the injury making cuts close faster and mend with less scarring. But the nurse was ready to increase her training to the next step.

A knock on the door brought a smile to the elder woman's face, walking over and opening it up. "Come in, we are ready for you."

Katara looked up to see the next student in, surprised when she recognized who it was that walked in the room. "Wait, that's..." she watched the class B student walk in, remembering at the festival.

Tetsutetsu looked over in surprise as well, the gray haired teen eyeing her curiously. "Huh? Hey, your that water girl from the festival. What are you doing here?"

"She is my pupil at the moment, and in fact will be the one working on your treatment." Recovery girl answered, earning a raised eyebrow from the class B teen.

"What? She will be?" Tetsutetsu questioned.

Katara frowned at the tone in his voice, but the nurse spoke up first. "Yes she will. She is quite extraordinary and your injuries are perfect to demonstrate that. Now, let me see that hand of yours."

Tetsutetsu gave a grunt and lifted his wrapped left hand, pulling the cloth off and revealing his bruised and disjointed hand and forearm. "Me and Kendo... got a bit carried away in arm wrestling."

Recovery Girl chuckled and looked over his injury before nodding. "Well this is actually perfect for the next step. Now Katara, I will let you get to healing this."

"What?" Katara was now the one surprised at the statement, looking over at the broken arm. "But... bones are-

"The next step in your lesson. Now this is the perfect way to learn."
