Chapter 340: A little wishful
"Student Elliana, focus. This isn’t how you are going to master this method," Yaretzi shouted along with the other teachers, and Elliana looked at her for a few seconds before humming.
They could feel the change in the girl over time, but today it was almost as if something inside her was not right.
Her eyes held a glint that was neither normal nor optimum for this technique, but with no knowledge of what kind of beastly powers she held inside her, it was nearly impossible to try a new method and not fail it.
Jalizana was especially called to the University for today’s practice because they wanted to optimize the water shield around her, the shield that Elliana had no idea about.
Elliana looked down from the rock she was sitting on.
The flapping sounds of the crocodiles trying to reach her to eat her and falling miserably in the water with each failed attempt echoed in the surroundings. Their amber marble-like eyes, looked at her as if she was their next meal, and they would do anything to get to her.
She turned around towards the other students and noticed how no alligators were trying to attack them. These monsters were only roaming below her rock.
Her heartbeat was quite loud and fast, but rather than being scared or showing it, she was just looking at them as if daring them to touch her.
"What is she doing? She has been looking at those alligators for some time. It’s almost as if they won’t eat her but the other way around," one of the teachers said, and Madonna rolled her eyes before she looked at her other students who were sitting with their eyes closed on the rocks.
It was a technique to increase their focus even amidst the most dangerous situations and loud noises. It was crucial for witches to not lose control of their powers to avoid unnecessary fatal results.
The other students were doing quite well at it because they were the real fifth-grade students with their energies partially in their control, and because this method is taught to them as soon as they enter the fourth grade. So they have practiced this for quite some time, unlike Elliana who was completely new to this.
