Unique

Practice

I opened the dorm door seeing Sheila sitting on her bed. I was once again momentarily distracted by her beauty. She's a water nymph, a light blue light emits from her sharp but kind features. Her dark hair fell in perfect waves to the middle of her shoulder blades.

I know for a fact that she's as short as most water nymphs are. She's only 4'10" and one of the few humanoid people I'm taller than. I'm about 4 inches taller than her which is absolutely amazing for me.

Charm and grace rolled off her in waves. Her pretty green eyes looked at me. Her race just like mine tends to use charm to get their way. Though I can ignore her charm I can definitely tell she's powerful.

But she's not very easy to anger so though she wears a red band there is no black one in sight.

I think her peaceful nature is the reason she's my roommate. She minds her own business and doesn't antagonize anyone. But because she has a water ability she's also perfect for putting out any flames I make. Which I assume also played a part as to why we're roommates.

"The headmaster let you have a familiar?" Her soft voice asked.

"Yeah, he said by tomorrow I should have classes and a name for my bloodline. Is it your free period?" I asked collapsing into bed facing her.

"That's great news, and yeah I have free period." She gave me her time-stopping smile. Though I assume she was just supposed to be someone I didn't mind Sheila is basically my best friend.

"Do you want to do anything?"

"Will you train with me?" Sheila asked shyly. Water nymphs are peaceful but I know she worries her good looks could get her in trouble so she practices regularly.

"Sure, I need to be able to show off for my new classes tomorrow anyways."

It's not obvious really but I admire the hard work Sheila does. Water nymphs are usually hardly capable of defending themselves but she works to be strong. Life gave her lemons and she used the juice as a weapon.

I'm always in awe how she manages to use her small non-combat skills to protect herself.

Standing I picked up Sebastian and placed him on my shoulder.

"Grab whatever you need for what you want to practice today,"

Sheila picked up a small set of throwing knives and I smiled. Most people use whatever is in the training room but as a witch I can rearrange matter until it does what I want.

We have a lot of cool stuff hidden around our room because of it. We each have a large box of random stuff under our beds so I can make anything we need.

We walked into one of the water practice rooms. I set Sebastian down on top of the weapon rack where he won't be in danger of being in the way.

I pulled a dummy out into the middle of the room.

"Can you show me again?" Sheila asked. I nodded taking one of the knives from her.

I picked up a small amount of water from the floor using it to levitate the knife. Since I can control the water I can use the water to control the knife. Genius really. Okay maybe that was just bragging but it's still cool.

Waving through the air I had the water and therefore the knife circle the dummy a few times before quickly sending both flying into the middle of the dummy.

I dropped the water and the knife stayed lodged into the dummy's chest.

"Amazing," Sheila remarked fidgeting with a knife.
