More Training

Similarly, with many water-user soldiers around, Althea had also begun to train her water abilities. Unlike the original plan, she decided to learn the aggressive forms of water first. 

As mentioned, if one had just awakened an element, it was recommended to choose a path of techniques to learn. 

It was why Turbo could only use the drowning technique and other low-attack moves because he was a healer. Ryo, on the other hand, focused more on his aggressive attacks like water whips, jets, and other techniques. 

Spreading out too much wasn't practical, no matter how talented, because then they would likely be stuck with the most basic techniques for a long time—even for the rest of their lives. 

Althea naturally didn't risk it and decided to choose one path to focus on and master before crossing over.
