Jace had his mouth slightly open as his Head of House acknowledged his answer, and by the looks of it, he was really pleased with it. The Ravenclaw quickly shut his mouth, and gave the man a quick nod of his head. In all honesty, he just pointed out the obvious, but being the modest kid that he is, there was no way he’d point it out for everyone to hear. The 14 year old got his quill again, and started to jot down notes, underlining words here and there, complete with side notes in Japanese.

He paused when the next question was raised. Fire or Ice? Now that, is a very good question, House Master. Jace took his time to construct his answer in his head, while he listened to his classmate’s answers. Ready for another round of Ravenclawing? Well, he wasn’t sure if it was the correct answer, but his response, he thought, is purely based on one’s opinion.

When no one else raised their hand, Jace got his hand up and waited for the professor to call him. “Fire and Ice are both powerful sensei, and both can be associated with the dark arts. It all depends on the intent, I suppose.” He said taking a pregnant pause as he looked beyond the flimsy barrier before them. “Fire and Ice, or water in this context can give life, and it could be used for destruction too. Fire can kill Ice, and Ice can tame Fire. So in a way, these energies are connected, much like the Yin and Yang.” Jace shifted in his seat and fiddled with his quill. “I suppose in the case of the Draugr, Fire would be the best way to defeat them since they feed on darkness. Light or Fire would suppress them more effectively.” Again, it was another case of simple logic. Jace cleared his throat, and held his head down, a bit embarrassed by how long his answer was. Sometimes, he couldn’t stop his Ravenclawing.
