Dance of the Gale Part 2

I just arrived again at the place I marked yesterday with Visuke, and this time, I got here first. He hasn’t shown up yet.

These last few days, close to the start of the tournament's return, have been, in a way, more peaceful. The others went on missions, and Ellen, who didn't come yesterday, saw me leaving Lenon and asked where I was going and decided to come with me.

And now she’s here. She’s training her Teleport affinity while I’m sitting here waiting for Visuke to show up.

She’s sitting cross-legged, enjoying the breeze. Every now and then, she picks up some leaves, puts them in the middle of her hand, and takes a deep breath. She stays silent for a few moments, and in some of those moments, the leaf simply disappears.

"Sorry for the delay, Lucas. I had a little setback on my way here!"

He says as he draws his sword.

I get up from the ground and draw my katana from its sheath.

"Don’t worry! Let’s start now!"

He gives a small smile.
