The next day went by quickly enough, both Vice-Headmaster Bijilo and Professor Xiant giving us some more papers to write, making Anput groan all the way home.
Setting about finishing all the chores in the house, like cooking, a quick cleaning, washing our clothes, and then writing my papers, I sat outside, preparing to continue the fusion of my wind and water mana.
Closing my eyes, I focused my attention inwards, towards my slightly mixed mana.
By now I had managed to infuse a good chunk of my wind mana into my water, turning it from that familiar warm, calm liquid state to a chilly, prickly ice water, which was surprisingly comfortable inside me.
Grasping the remaining wind that was lagging behind my water, slowly pushing it deeper into the water mana.
Gritting my teeth as a chill rushed through my body, I gradually seeped the wind into the water, deepening the chill.
