Jed was nervous, today he was trying for his Grade 8 Wind/Fire exams. At 16 he was tall, 6 foot, with short black hair, well built and striking orange eyes. He was dressed casually, black jeans and a  collared white shirt.
“First, entertainment”said the tester.
Jed was ready, he'd been practicing for weeks, he flicked on his lighter and summoned up a wind. Suddenly flames shot out of the lighter, spiraling around the tester. The wind blew faster until the tester was surrounded by a cylinder of fire. It spread out, becoming a screen of fire . The word 'HOT' hung in the air for a few seconds, bordered by fire, before it fell from the sky, spreading out in a circle on the ground before finally going out.
“very impressive Jed, I can tell you've been practicing,” said the instructor, “now, something more, peaceful.”
Again flicking on his lighter, Jed summoned forth flames making a blazing line some way off. Summoning forth a breeze , he directed it to blow the flames towards the pair. Soon a warm breeze reached them, as it was quite cold during this morning test, it was a nice change. After a while, Jed let the flames die.
“Finally, a personal piece” requested the tester.
This is what Jed had been waiting for and, although nervous before, after warming up, he was confident of his abilities and they came to him easily. He summoned up a whirling tornado and nearby trees were sucked up into the vortex but Jed and the tester remained in calm weather. Jed flicked on his lighter and a sudden gust of wind carried it to the tornado where it spread. Suddenly the trees inside the tornado caught alight and the tornado became a blazing inferno. Jed brought it closer and although still half a kilometer away both Jed and the testers eyebrows were burned off. After manipulating the tornado a bit more, Jed let it fall then traced out the pattern left by the tornado in burning letters, 'Jed'.
Well done Jed, that was very impressive. Return to the academy, your results should be in by tomorrow,” said the tester.
Jed headed back towards the academy with a grin on his face and a single bead of sweat dropped from his brow.
