Ichiro woke up really tired. He barely got any sleep. The thought of another incoming danger was bugging him. He stayed a few minutes in bed after he woke up, then he went to the bathroom to take a shower.
An hour later, he was downstairs, waiting for the others to come. For some reason, he was the only one who was up.
Some minutes pass and some of them started showing up, but roughly five or six. After everyone showed up, they went to the cafeteria to get breakfast.
Ichiro finished quickly and went back to his room and jumped back in bed. He had about 3 hours left until practice and some rest was well deserved.
He rested a few minutes, but someone HAD to ruin it for him. Hikari opened his door, and not in a gentle manner and came to his bed.
…’Wake up, dude. How can you even fall asleep so fast?’, she said…
…’Why do you have to ruin this as well?’…
…’Because you need practice right now and I’m the best person who can teach you Energy control right now’…
…’Okay… but why me and why now?’…
…’We lack Water users, as I previously told you. I’ll give you 5 minutes to come to the training room or else you won’t like it’…
After that line, Hikari literally vanished. Ichiro jumped out of bed and dressed quickly, washed his face with cold water and dashed through the door. It took a few seconds to reach the training room.
…’Hm, not bad’, Hikari said. ‘But anyway, let’s start right away. So I saw that your major problem is endurance. By that I mean that you can’t use that your Energy capacity sucks’ …
…’Wow, thanks’ …
…’You’re welcome. Anyway, we’re not going to work on that. I’m not in the mood and it would take too long. Instead, I want to focus on the raw power of your spells’ …
…’And…what do you mean by that?’ …
…’Sometimes I want to just slap you with a fire spell you know? It means how strong a spell is. It’s the power of the spell, it’s literally in it’s name what’s so hard to understand?’ …
…’Oh…yeah right, sorry’ …
After a bit of explanation coming from Hikari, Ichiro started practicing the Water skill he just learned and trying to power it up everytime he used it. Things were working well, but Hikari was right, his endurance sucked. So after only about twenty or so uses of his spell, he already felt exhausted.
…’You can take a break if you want. You’ve done well up until now’, Hikari suggested …
…’It’s okay, I’m fine. I can last a bit longer’ …
He didn’t even believe what he said but he forced himself to. He started swinging his sword again and, surprisingly, they were still getting more and more powerful. After about four more swings, he dropped down the sword and sat down. He could barely feel his legs anymore.
…’Don’t go until failure each time, man. We have more things to do and I need you alive for that’…
…’What did I do to deserve to be tortured by a shor-‘ …
Hikari glanced at him.
…’-by a girl like this?’ …
…’Well first, if you call me short again, I’m literally setting you on fire. Second, you wanted to join us, not my problem’ …
…’Yeah… I guess that’s true’…
As Ichiro was resting, an idea struck his head.
…’Um.. Hikari? Do you have any lakes or pools close by?’ …
…’Weird question, but yes’…
…’Can you bring me to one real quick?’ …
…’Yeah… sure. Grab my arm and hold tight’ …
‘Okay, now she can teleport, great’, Ichiro thought.
…’Why are you looking at me as if I’ve done something wrong?’, she asked. …
…’N-nothing. I was probably still underestimating you. Anyway, I’m going to dive in’…
…’W-WAIT YOU’RE GOING IN?! He’s already in… like hell he can hear me’ …
Ichiro jumped in the water in went in deep. He started concentrating a bit of his Energy and after a couple seconds he could breathe.
…’Perfect, I should be able to regenerate my body and Energy now’…
A few vibrations in the water distracted him for a bit. They were coming from the surface. Soon after, the vibrations turned into sounds.
…’You have ten minutes left to rest. Do whatever you want in these, but after that, you’re back to practice’ …
Ichiro used a bit of his energy to shape the water at the surface as a thumbs up.
…’Very funny’, said Hikari. …
After two minutes or so, his body, especially muscles and some wounds, started regenerating at a crazy speed that he couldn’t even process. About five minutes in, he swam to the surface where Hikari was waiting.
…’Done already?’, she asked. ‘Wait, your Energy is back to almost 100%. You can already use Elemental regeneration?’ …
…’Yeah, I read it in the Water book I borrowed, it’s pretty useful if you ask me’ …
…’Hm… well, that’s an interesting fact to point out. Your Energy drains quickly but it can be recharged just as fast. That’s good news. Let’s head back now, I’m not finished with you.’ …
…’Yeah, thank you very much. I’m so looking forward to it.’…
After they got back, Ichiro continued his practice but something was different. Ichiro was barely feeling any exhaustion after fifteen spells used, which usually would tire him like crazy.
…’Maybe that regeneration had some kind of effect… interesting’, said Hikari. …
At some point, about another two spells later, the boy remembered about the Elemental fusion between Water and Air. ‘If it’s a good time to try it, now it’s that time’, he thought. He took a deeper stance and closed his eyes. Small gusts of wind started to gravitate around them, along with small bits of Water Energy.
…’Don’t try anything stupid, I don’t think it’s the right time’, said Hikari. …
But he ignored her. After he finished moving all his Energy, he stepped forward and swung his blade.
…’WAIT NO! IT’S TOO EARLY!’, Hikari yelled, but it was too late. …
…’ICE AURA 1 -‘ …
