"Of course. Like you said we have all the time in the world." A grin comes across Roots' face before he lies down on the grass. He closes his eyes and enters a deep meditative state, letting his magic flow lazily around him.

"Training sounds fine with me. I do well enough back at the academy, so I'm ready to make some extra progress. They won't mind me being gone for a few days. I've shown you what I'm currently capable of, so what's next? I wish to learn your ways, Mr. Dark Hooves."

Roots turns around and makes his way back over to Dark Hooves and Peacemaker. He sees Peacemaker on the ground and decides to leave him be ever since he heard him yell.
"Mr. Dark Hooves, I wish to become stronger, no, I NEED to become stronger. Strong enough so I can... I can..." Roots' trails off and he quickly looks away before suddenly looking back at Dark Hooves again. "Is there... is there a way?"

Roots sighs and steps away from the tree for a brief moment, deciding that he will try again shortly. He could sense the tree chuckling at him internally because Roots hadn't broken his connection yet.

Roots nods and he makes his way towards the base of the tree. Taking a couple of deep breaths, he closes his eyes and begins to concentrate.
(I may not have been strong enough to grow grass... but I believe I can do this.)
His hooves begin to glow light blue like the colour of his eyes and he reaches out towards the tree, gently placing his right forehoof on the trunk of the tree. At first, he couldn't feel anything, but soon enough he began to feel the tree's own mana.
(Alright... strength and focus... strength and focus...)
Roots slowly begins to pour some of his own mana into the tree and slowly attempts to walk up it, he succeeds in making a couple of steps before suddenly stopping. His strength had begun to wane which was causing him to tremble, although his focus had not wavered.
"I... I don't think I can make it!"

Roots was deep in thought. He had been carefully watching Peacemaker attempt to make his hooves stick to the tree just like Dark Hooves and was also secretly impressed that Kato had almost done it on his first try, even though he fell. He watches Peacemaker make another attempt but he returns to the ground shortly after.
(Balance between focus and strength... not a spell... changing mana flow!? I knew that everything in some way has mana, spending time with trees taught me that, but I wonder if Dark Hooves is talking about... about attuning one's mana flow with another. Maybe... maybe I can do this with enough time and patience. I just hope I'm strong enough.)
Roots gulps and he makes his way over to Peacemaker who had covered his head with his hooves.
"It's alright Peacemaker, I know that you'll be able to do this, that we'll all be able to do this. I'm going to try it myself now... if that is alright with you Mr. Dark Hooves," Roots says and looks up at Dark Hooves.

Roots turns around to meet the newcomer.
"I know how you feel, I remember when I first went to Canterlot and I had a hard time getting around. How are you doing uh... Kato right? Did I say that correctly? I'm known as Roots." He extends a hoof towards Kato. "It's always a pleasure to see a new face, but what was that you said before? Something about... recovering your magic? What happened to it?"
A look of concern appears on Roots' face when he asks the question.

"Interesting. Well as the saying goes, practice makes perfect I guess."
Roots looks over at Dark Hooves and waits patiently.

Roots nods towards Dark Hooves and he quickly finds a spot next to Peacemaker. He too watches Match perform his magical abilities rather well.
"Hrm, perhaps I should have performed a levitation spell instead... Where did you obtain such skill with the art of levitation Match if I may ask? I- if you wish to share of course."
Roots pauses momentarily and he begins to think.
('Match sounds like he obviously doesn't want to be here... but he has such skill! I wonder what else he is hiding underneath all of that... hostility.')

Roots nods his head and takes a deep breath.
"I shall do my best sir."
Roots quickly looks around and finds a small patch of dirt devoid of grass just a few hoofsteps away. He begins to concentrate on the spot and soon a few blades of grass begin to appear, but it is clear he is struggling. He stops and sighs, letting the grass recede back into the ground and he hangs his head in defeat afterwards.
"So close yet so far..."

Roots swallows and quickly breaks eye contact with Match.
"I- I see."
Roots puts his hoof back on the ground and returns his gaze to Dark Hooves.

Roots notices the newcomer sighing and turns to face him.
"Say... I didn't catch your name when you arrived. I know I just said mine, but who are you? Since we'll be in the same class and all."
Roots extends a hoof towards the dark grey Unicorn as a friendly gesture.

Roots sighs in relief, glad that he is at the right place and looks at Dark Hooves.
"So you're the one who advertised the class. I am known as Roots. I for one can't wait to see what you'll be teaching us."

Roots reaches the two of them just as the red Unicorn lowers the boulder nearby.
"Hello there, I'm not late to the class am I?" he asks. "This is the right place right? Is there a... uh... Is somepony known as Dark Hooves here?"

Roots looks down at the flyer in his hoof and reads it again before looking ahead once more.
"This looks to be the place... I hope I will learn more here," he quietly says to himself before proceeding to approach the two ponies that were already there.

There's no doubt about that, especially with that pulse bomb and recall combo she can do. I feel that the game will be a blast if you play with a group of friends.

I saw this get announced through the use of the virtual ticket! I'm super excited for this game and have already signed up for the beta 
The only problem now is deciding on which hero to use because they are all so freaking cool!

Not that I'm aware of, but Blizzcon is about Blizzard's games such as Warcraft, Starcraft, Diablo, Hearthstone, Heroes of the Storm, and now their new IP Overwatch. If you know these games then I would love to discuss with you or anyone else about them.
