57 Ch. 57 Niken Is Dying (1/2)

Niken was taking a class in water class. This time she will learn how to change the form of water according to her wishes. The most basic lesson was to form water into bubbles that float in the air.

Niken managed to do it but only lasted for two seconds before the bubble finally burst. Even so, she did not give up, she tried it on for hours. Too bad for her as the result remains the same. There was no progression.

”Niken!” cried her mentor who oversees her training. ”How many times already and you still failed?” the sharp tone of his made Niken gulped nervously.

”Hm... three? Four?”

”Dozens of times! I can't even count anymore. Do it right! Even small children can do better than this.”

Niken's heart immediately shrank. Why did she get such a fierce mentor? She tried her best yet the mentor couldn't see it. She felt crying but no tear came out.

”Now, follow my guidance. Find your water elemental energy inside your astral dimension. Focus on that energy.”

Niken obeyed every word said by her mentor. She closed her eyes and concentrated on entering her astral dimension.

Alas, she found nothing. She only found darkness surround her. Then how she supposed to find her water elemental energy?

”Did you find it?” her mentor's voice rang through her ears.

”Not yet, sir.”

”Then call it.”

Niken's eyebrows twitched hearing the command. ”How do I call it?”

”Just call it! How come you know nothing about the basic summoning technique!?”

Now Niken really wanted to cry. Why was this mentor so harsh with her?

Once again Niken closed her eyes and regained concentration in her astral dimension. This time she tried to summon her water elemental energy.

”Hello! Is anyone here? Hello!”

Niken felt something was wrong. She thought this was not the right way to summon her energy. Yet, she knew nothing about summoning so she just kept calling like that.

When Niken decided to give up, she felt a gust of wind blow against her. That's when she saw another girl in the dark place.

The girl huddled on the other end with her face hidden between her knees.

”Hello? Who are you? How did you get to this place?”

The girl raised her face slightly to reveal a pair of deep black eyes. The next instant the gusts of wind grew stronger and formed a tornado making Niken shuddered in horror.
