Even though Jason expected his proficiency with the ice affinity to be garbage, what had happened was ridiculous.
He had meant to erect an ice wall but what he had managed to do was create an explosion of ice particles forming an ice cloud around the two of them.
The only thing it was useful for, was to prevent anyone from seeing what had happened but neither had it protected him from Seron's sword nor could he do anything with it.
Expecting to form at least a crude wall was a dream to him and only now did he understand why it was so hard to control and use normally procured affinities.
His origin flame was an exception and Jason had only relied on his experience of handling the flame, only to be completely betrayed.
Standing up slowly, he could feel more than a hundred pairs of eyes staring at him and they were full of ridicule and amusement.
