章 82: Chapter 81: Practice; Preparations

Sitting on a rock in the training grounds, I focused entirely on the two different kinds of mana inside of me; the cold, sharp bite of the wind, and the warm, gentle flow of water.

I could feel them easily; that wasn't the problem.

What was a problem was trying to manipulate the mana inside me with precision, specifically trying to control both of them at the same time.

It was like juggling; except instead of two identical balls being tossed from one hand to another, one was a water balloon and the other a pingpong ball.

Being able to use both at the same time was annoying, and I let out another growl as I felt my control slip on the wind mana.

Sighing, I took a few deep breaths and started again.

Feeling the sharp tang of the wind mana, I gently guided it around my body.

After a few revolutions, I held my breath as I tried to keep the wind mana moving as I took hold of the flowing water mana.
