Not even five minutes into detention has passed and Catalina was already rolling her eyes with boredom. She'd been to this room several times, with its absolute lack of decoration and color, and the same old teacher always watching the troublesome kids who manage to get here. It's been a while, though, since she'd gotten much better at avoiding disciplinary actions with her secondary power, and the vague familiarity of the room only seemed to be mocking her. She'd gotten careless when annoyed by one of those dickhead guys who thought they were all that and could get any girl they wanted with a half-assed pick up line. Cat had essentially regressed him to a baby like he was (and honestly there wasn't too much to regress,) and it just so happened to create a scene as it happened in one of the busier hallways. Of course, that dick got a punishment too, but apparently harassment was less punishable than trying to get back at someone.
"What a messed up system..." Cat muttered under her breath. The teacher must've caught what she said since he glared at her, but she just grinned back before looking away and pretending she hadn't said a word.
She glanced around the room, or rather, the other students who had the luck of being caught, with a small frown sealed on her face. The desks were about half full of various students and if one might have guessed that this was just a regular classroom instead of detention by the apparent diversity. Sure, there were a couple here and there that looked like the regular delinquent who would get in trouble every other class period, but they were a minority today. One kid in the front row looked like one of those scrawny nerds that would get beat up for lunch money in cliche school movies, but actually had advanced electricity powers and caused a blackout in the dorms, while in the back there was a first year girl who has already started gaining a reputation as an absolute nightmare, literally.
It made an entertaining crowd, for one. As much as Cat would love to try influencing one of the more infamous students (that first year especially piqued her interest,) it was too risky without knowing how they fare with mental abilities and in a location such as this. She bit her cheek and chose a less risky student at random. She was going to keep this relatively harmless, considering that getting in trouble during detention could lead to expulsion.
Cough, she sent the thought to the unfortunate student of the day, You just swallowed too much water at once and need to cough and catch your breath.
There was probably bout a 30% chance that the student would follow through with that command so quickly, but considering how simple it is, they should show some sign of discomfort. Cat rested her head on her hand and pretended to look elsewhere while waiting for something to happen.
