"Today we are all going to the ice field. Master Lei said so."

"To the ice field? Isn't it too early for us to go there?"

"Be quiet."

"Icefield, I heard that after the time spent there, the whole body begins to ache."

"And you can hardly return from there safe and sound."

Putting the spoons back, everyone looked at Lei, who was not dressed as usual. He wore a vest made of thin iron that enveloped his slender body. Black pants with multiple straps and heavy boots. The hair was, as always, gathered in a bun that was held by an iron hairpin.
