"I'll fix the field before you can finish doing 14 jumps Nim. START!" Mira said starting to fix the mess she had created.

As she had no opponents, which was one of the few disadvantages of training alone of course, she had to make the field her sworn enemy.

And the plus point of fighting the field is that she always won. Okay there weren't many plus points so she just took whatever she could add to her list.

It was almost dawn and she was going to be 'woken' up for training within the next three hours. So she should be in bed. But, her heart was beating too fast and her brain was way too awake to care about good sleep.

Training.

More and more training.

"Seventh!"

Mira counted Nim's jump while she straightened another part of the field using her impel.

It was weird using it, felt plain wrong. This power had never belonged to her and thus felt unfamiliar.

But, it was working. She had trained until the ground was untrainable and now she had to fix it into being trainable again.

Before the fourteenth jump that is.

She had improved in her opinion. Before it used to take her thirty jumps from Nim, now she had reduced down to half.

Today hopefully, fourteen.

"ELEVENTH!"

Mira rushed through, ignoring her failing legs in order to get it done before fourteen.

Training.

More and more training.

"TWELFT- AHHHEE!!!!" She screeched out, shocked by the sudden lightning transmitting around the field.

Barely dodging one, she concentrated to dodge the other. But it wasn't planning on stopping.

Her attention shifted to her call.

"SHIT!"

The ground was cracked up again, she couldn't let go of Nim.

THINK MIRA THINK!

Oh ya, Nim never dies.

"I'm sorry Nim." She mumbled out before directing her strength towards the fish. She impelled as hard as she could while simultaneously dodging thunderbolts.

Nim flew through the field and away from the attack zone, and Mira sighed out of relief when the fish's suffocated flops continued. 

"Now, who are you?" Mira mumbled slightly trying to find the direction of the thunderbolts.

However, they were coming from everywhere with no indication of who might be doing this.

She was tired, and she knew she couldn't avoid it for longer.

Mira sighed, not willing to accept defeat. She continued for about twelve more minutes before collapsing onto the ground.

She saw it, another white ray coming towards her with an extremely fast pace. Damn, all this hard work to die in a field. Still being a sad lonely virgin.

"NO!" Mira screamed and rolled over and mustered up the last bit of her energy trying to create a dome of invisible force around her in order to redirect the lightning back to its owner.

"C-COME O-ON!" She screamed out in pain, her body felt like it was ripping apart but either this or direct death from an unknown person.

"A-almost the-ere!" Mira breathed out as the protective invisible dome started enveloping her.
