And now, lets begin our wonderful collab:

Heat Waves and Deep Seas

"Stop running, you little shits!"

Brett stormed through the hallways, running behind some screaming youngsters who were running at full speed in front of him. Their squealing and laughing could be heard throughout the school, ringing loud through the halls, when in contrast, Brett's screams were not really doing anything. As he rounded the corner, he slowed down, groaning. The students were not here anymore. Damn wind users!

Brett was a Professor at the very prestigious 'School of the Element Arts' which was just a very fancy title for a school full of children with magic. The Professor himself was a water user, so he had no chance of catching the flying children, but he also didn't need to. He knew their names anyway. These group of kids was notorious for causing all sorts of trouble

He sighed and turned to report the students to the director - again. But he didn't come far, because there he stood, in all his glory - and mostly in Brett's way - Professor Eddy Chen who was watching him with a raised eyebrow.

"Professor Chen." Brett wasn't a big fan of him personally, but he knew his colleague was a very skilled and talented fire user. He admired the other man's control over the element. He could manipulate so effortlessly, but his standoffish behaviour was something Brett wasn't a very big fan of.

He nodded at his colleague, trying to get past him.

"Professor Yang," he smiled, the kind of smirk that was both knowing and condescending, "it is not very professional of you to run after students, shouting and screaming like a wild monkey."

Oh yeah, he was a real nice asshole. Brett rolled his eyes.

"Professor Chen, I'm mostly sure this is not your problem, but mine. Please refrain from making any sorts of sarcastic comments which I don't even appreciate. I don't storm into your classroom and berate you for your teaching, so it would be most appreciated if you would stop doing this."

It wasn't the first time Chen berated Brett out of the blue and the older had enough of this. Just because the Council of Magic bestowed upon Edward Chen the most desired title of High Wizard of his element, didn't mean he could flaunt that everywhere he went. Well, Brett would do that too, but still! It was unfair for the younger to rub it in his face.

The man's gaze flickered down to his feet, slowly dragging up his body to reach his eyes in a way that left no room for any other explanation of his behavior: He was trying to make Brett uncomfortable. Well, Chen would have another thing coming.

"I'd stop if you show a little more decency, hey?" He tilted his head, the smile still disturbingly polite. "Everyone knows the only way to stop air users is to either pin them to the ground or be better at them in flying."

Brett pressed his lips together. Yes, he knew it. As a water user he was no match for the flying children. But to have it so clearly buttered on his toast was unnerving.

Chen smiled blandly. "But of course, you wouldn't know anything about that, now would you?"

Brett scoffed at that. "You know, fuck off."
