Jim's message said we will leave in four days, in this time, I've solely decided to train on my ability, after freshen up and eating, I leave for the training.
”Let's start! Ashlynn,” I said, as I started to summon the swirling fireball.
”Chew chew..” Ashlyn cried out enthusiastically and the fire started to materialized in front of her beak.
”Puff!” the fireball in my hand puffed as it was gaining traction, I didn't feel dejected looking at the puffed fireball.
I knew that yesterdays attempt in successfully summoning fireball was a fluke but because of that I understood the process and it will take just little more time.
”Boom!” Ashlyn threw a successfully formed fireball, it is also fist size but it packed the punch of palm size fireball and it also hit the off-target just like mine.
”Chew chew..” Ashlyn gave happy chirp as she successfully formed the swirling fireballs. ”Very good, Ashlyn,” I said as I petted her head.
I also keep trying to successfully form the swirling fireball, it didn't take long as I thought, after one and half hour of constantly trying, I formed my second successful fireball.
And within four hours I perfectly got hang of it without failing once just like Ashlyn, now what I have to do is work on it's summoning time and my aim.
It takes sixteen seconds to successful form but it is not enough if it takes that much time in the fight, my opponent will kill me two times over.
Because the fireball is swirling, it will change in trajectory little in the air and if the target is far it will miss the target altogether, just like it did with mine and Ashlyn fireballs.
We both started to work on the two weakness trying a different approach on the fireball, I started to modify a technique which suits me.
Most of them unsurprisingly failed but one did work and it helps me to lessen the time by two seconds.
Every time you practice something for enough time, you start to develop the rhythm of your own which is suits you most.
Ashlyn had tried to swirl the palm size fireball but it puffed as soon as she summoned, I have not tried because I know, to swirl the fireball need more mental energy than fist size fireball.
”Ashlyn, do the normal fireballs,” I said to her, seeing trying will be worthless, first she did not listen to me but after repeated failures, she again started on the normal fireballs.
I practice till evening, by the time I finished for the day, I already brought down the timing of summoning a fireball to the twelve seconds and my aim is also improved as well.
The repeated training with my ability has also improved my control with the ability, it's lethalness has improved 5% to 7% and mana consumption has come down to 10%.
If I continue practicing, it will help me a lot now and in the future, I have read that those have extreme control over their abilities, they can make their abilities transformed into fine threads and needles.
