Seref

Nagising ako ng maaga. As always, tulog parin si Kuya. So I quietly made my way out with my bow and arrow. It was still early in the morning so I had to ignite a luminous stone just to light my way up.

I ready my bow and loaded it with one arrow. After being an official guild, I feel like I had to power up. Ako lang naman ang pinaka-useless dito. I feel bad. I also wanted to join in the missions. Ako na ngayon ang parating naiiwan sa ship dahil sumasama na si Kuya Mason sa kanila.

Alright, practice as usual. Let's do this Seref.

I let go of the arrow and it directly hit the pole in front of me.

Good. Now let's practice with mana.

I stretch the bow without any arrow. I'll use my mana to form the arrow. My attribute is water. I breathe in and out. Suddenly, water started flowing on my right hand. I was gathering up moisture from the atmosphere.

"Water is everywhere," I whispered the exact words my mother usually tells me.

Even in the air, I can gather up moisture. I focus on my mana and tried to make it form an arrow.

I aimed it at the pole.

But it suddenly weakened.

Bigla nalang itong bumagsak sa sahig.

No! No! Why can't I do it?! Why can't I do anything right for once?

I started waking up early in the morning just to do this. In the mornings, it's usually cold and a bit dim. Magandang time yun para mag-practice.

Hnnng...

I let out a long sigh and let out my foggy breath. It was cold in the morning. We're in a desert. It's really cold at night. And really hot in the morning.

I looked around the empty and silent ship.

I then calmed myself down.

"Let's try that again," as I stretch out the bow.

Don't get discourage, me.

"Seref?"

"Ah!"

I immediately hid the bow and took steps back when Captain Lisandrei suddenly leaned through my right side.

"Hmm? Are you practicing with that bow?" nakangiti nitong tanong. It was obvious but I feel like she was just making sure.

"Y-Yeah," at mabilis na umiwas ng tingin.

"Ohh, I see. Let me teach you then," she said with a smile.

"Really!?"

Yehey!

"Now, aim it at the pole."
