Professor Karhiko stood before the door,
And stared at grand piano once more.
He'd bought it new and felt so eager,
But now it wouldn't fit, so meagre.

He pushed and pulled with all his might,
But still the piano wouldn't right.
He let out sighs of great frustration,
His hopes of using it, a sensation.

Just as he was about to give,
A voice behind him did arrive, "hand with that?"

He turned to see Professor Ciradyl,
And felt a mix of relief and cynical.

"Indeed, I could use a hand," said he,
Hoping for a solution that's not a fee.

Professor Ciradyl then did say,
"We must disassemble it, I do convey."
Professor Karhiko's heart sank low,
"I haven't time for that, you know."

But Ciradyl's apathetic tone,
Left Karhiko with no choice but to moan.
So they set to work, with great despair,
To take the piano apart with care.

As they worked, Karhiko's heart was torn,
His piano's beauty now forlorn.
He knew that he had made a blunder,
In buying it without a measure.

Professor Ciradyl, on the other hand,
Was all but uninvolved in the band.
They went about the task with ease,
As if it were a breeze.

With every piece apart,
Karhiko Felt more and more resentment grow.
He knew that Ciradyl had a plan,
To make a point about science and.
Finally, the task was done,
The piano, now in pieces, begun.

Karhiko breathed a sigh of relief,
Knowing that the worst was now a leaf.
Professor Karhiko, the "maestro of telekinesis" Stood before his class,
ready to teach with finesse.

His pupils couldn't help but take note,
Of his slick style, from head to coat.
Jet black hair styled "messy-chic",
Tailored suit that screamed "effortless chic".

Unlike other teachers, strict and stern,
Karhiko's laid-back attitude, a turn.
He surveyed the parts of the piano,
Now strewn across the floor like snow.

His students knew what was to come,
For Professor Karhiko was no one.
With a simple gesture and a flash of his hand,
The pieces flew off the ground to form a band.

As they darted through air they made no sound,
But in time Karhiko reassembled them with telekinesis abound.
The polished ebony floated in mid-air, just so;
Karhiko's power creating wonder with each show.

Velocity increased as fast as lightning beyond compare;
Each part slowly assembling into something so rare!
 Excitement filled the room, students knew,
They'd learn from one of the most powerful espers due.

Master of telekinesis, objects moved
With just a wave of his hand, it proved.
But what made him truly special,
His belief that powers came from musical.

This viewpoint caused great disagreement
With Professor Ciradyl, head of Esper Science.
Ciradyl believed espers were born,
Powers explained by science, not a song.

they'd tried to convince Karhiko for years,
But Karhiko insisted, his powers, a seer.
During class, Karhiko spoke with passion
And excitement as he taught the connection.

When esper plays instrument, powers amplified,
Vibrations create a resonance, heightened.
Students were intrigued, wanted to try
Playing an instrument, to control their sky.


Karhiko demonstrated, playing piano's keys,
Objects moved, books flew, pencils danced with ease.
The students were amazed, couldn't help but applaud,
Karhiko smiled, effect on students, awed.
