Read in the Spoiler!
A long drawn inhale filled the classroom; beyond such it was quiet- still as the night can be. Shieo had an intimate habit of staying late at the school out of the simple fact, he didn't have much to go elsewhere too. It wasn't all bad though, after-all he had things to look forwards to and prepare for such as what was left on his desk. A sheet of paper lay there, detailing what was closely resembling a combatants dossier. Given the role each student enrolled in the Academy served in terms of purpose; it wasn't wholly inaccurate to lay it out in such a format either.
From where Shieo sat, he had either elbow pressed against the edge of his wooden desk and had been lightly leaning forwards in order to reach said document. It described of a young boy who under consideration of the higher-ups in the Academy, felt that there was opportunity to be had in instructing the student with Shieo. Given his recent successes (In their eyes), he was an ideal teacher to help bolster a student's ethic in schooling and in turn, the path of shinobi-hood. With some focus into the child with specialty training, he could become something of an excellent individual to the village as a whole. Or at least that's what the letter read.
While he wasn't opposed to granting dedicated time towards a student, he had come to notice that they had been grinding him into teaching classes, tutors, specialty classes and the like in a very short period of time. It was a bit of a strain, especially after becoming something of a modeled factor becoming one of Kumogakure's Nine Champions. This, is what incurred the young-man's drawn sigh; exhaustion. Another, huh... Don't sound too excited Shieo, you might never get any others again~ Really?! Can I really?! ...
There wasn't much else that went on that night beyond the simple matters of preparing some degree of a course to initiate the new student under. Figuring he wasn't entirely certain of the young-boys talents, weaknesses and where he needed growth in.
Thus, the next morning. Sora would be approached by an Academy representative; she had provided a letter of tutorship that he was instructed to attend. In the letter, it detailed the instructor's name, where to arrive and by what time. Which indicated around eleven in the morning, giving ample time to get to where he needed to for the lesson.
When Sora arrived; he would be greeted by a rather dull looking young-man. He stood at an imposing six-foot one-inch and didn't appear to weigh much; given the flak jacket he adorned it was clear he was of at least Chūnin rank. While you walked towards him, he had a piece of paper in hand that was being folded up and tucked away; it seemed he had taken notice of the new arrival. His eyes studied Sora briefly, with a dour-eyed expression it didn't give much inspiration of energy. Shieo's facial expression only dwelled on something neutral, it hadn't smiled or frowned at any point. And then he spoke; his voice was monotone and droll, it felt like molasses in words. While he didn't necessarily speak slow, or quiet- it wasn't filled with energy nor any indication of encouragement. "Welcome... You must be the new student Minami, Sora. --" Clearing his throat, he shuffled either hand into its respective pant pockets. Allowing himself to slouch ever so slightly to appear slightly more relaxed. "I am Shieo, I'll be your instructor today."
Behind the newly visualized instructor, Sora would notice a rather still pond. Or perhaps it was a lake, nevertheless it wasn't grandiose nor impressive in either appearances or size.
Gesturing behind himself with a simple direction of his head, he continued to speak. "Today we'll be working on a fundamental, especially for Kumogakure Shinobi. While it's a challenging aspect to begin with, I believe when a person can come to some success on it; it paves a rather solid foundation for their future studies." Letting out a pause, a drawn exhale to emphasize he had to catch some breath. Or perhaps he was simply to lazy to continue speaking in long sequences. "If you hadn't guessed already, I will be showing and aiding you in the motions of water-walking."
Afterwards, Shieo had begun to walk towards the body of water. Stopping a foot or so before the water, he turned back to Sora; whom he'd hoped followed given the implication of Shieo's movements. "To begin, I suggest utilizing the hand-seal of Tiger. It's simple, easy enough to use and aids in the concentration, molding and distribution of chakra. In this instance, you will want to direct your chakra flow to the soles of your feet... If you're not quite sure how to do that yet. We can address it." Once he finished the brief explanation, which he figured was sufficient to start off the lesson. He had taken both his hands out and exemplified the hand-seal himself that was Sora could replicate the visual of it, and adjust it as per his body demanded.

First off, welcome to NC!
I figure I should give you a quick run-down on what a tutor/class actually does for characters in NC aside from introducing your character to new people! As in NC we do have an active battle-system that takes into account a characters 'Stats'. Tutors/Classes (Like this one) help speed up that process of developing those points much faster than self-training does. But of course, because it is a much more effective way of advancing a character; it does have some stipulations both the Tutor/Teacher (Myself) & the Student (You) have to achieve before the benefits can be acquired. So to keep things legible, I've done a few bulletins below to help identify what is expected of the student while doing these to reap rewards.
