144. Training in the middle of the Sea

LTyler, standing on his boat, hurled the trident with precision. The weapon shot through the air, aimed at a small bark floating on the sea's surface.

The remarkable thing was that the trident never left Tyler's hand. Instead, a magical projection of it streaked across the water, striking the bark dead centre.

"I wonder what kind of mechanism this is," Lily Gomes mused, her curiosity piqued. She took the trident from Tyler and, without much thought, casually tossed it down on the ship's deck.

*thunk*, A loud crack echoed as the trident embedded itself into the ship's wooden surface, causing a small fracture to appear.

"Don't damage the ship," Tyler chided, eyeing the small fissure with concern.

"Hey... If you guys want to practice, do it on the sea, not on the ship!" Mana suddenly appeared out of thin air, her tone sharp as she reprimanded them.

"Yes, ma'am," Tyler and Lily responded in unison, snapping to attention with mock salutes.
