Chapter 85 - Unwelcome drop-ins
Scarlett wiped a bead of sweat from her forehead, looking out across the training grounds. Some of the items she used for her training were lined up next to the wooden shed towards the edge, but the grounds themselves had been mostly cleaned up since the Fynn incident. The shed’s roof still had to be replaced though, as well as some of the ruined stonework. But the focus amongst the staff was currently on the wrecked courtyard, so things like these would have to wait. That included finding replacements for the enchanted training dummies that had been destroyed by the incident. That’d probably cost a buck.
Thankfully, she didn’t need those things to carry out her training. She’d mostly been practicing her hydrokinesis lately, with Garside not being in a good state to instruct her in his methods at the moment. Her proficiency with the skill was still far off from what she would call ‘combat ready’—other than the occasional Aqua Mine and controlling alchemy bombs as she’d done in the Howling Gale’s Haunt—but she was making progress. Just the other day, she’d been able to cut through a sheet of metal with just her hydrokinesis. Though it had been a relatively thin sheet, and taken some time. It had also looked more like she’d been pushing down a blunt knife through a piece of hard butter.
Still, it was better than what she’d been able to do when she first started.
And while the past week had been a flurry of things happening, she’d finally spent those skill points she had been saving up.
