When I woke up the next morning I was excited beyond belief, I was going to test out the powers I had hopefully gotten from Percy Jackson. I was expecting a small boost to by bodies overall condition along with hopefully some control over water. Since, I didn't have anyway to test a small improvement in my physique I quickly walked over to the small river that ran through the bridge I had slept under.
Willing the water to move I felt a tug in my gut and a string of water moved upwards. I immediately let out a cheer of joy and lost control over the water but I didn't care. I finally had power, I loved the feeling of forcing the water to follow my will.
I then began doing exercises on the spot and after enough time I noticed that my muscles weren't burning or aching like they normally would after this amount of exercise. Deciding to continue as long as I could I pushed by self to the limit and then past it. It felt incredible like my muscles were slowing growing past my limit through magic.
I continued a routine for the next month of exercising past my limit every day as well as moving the water to my will. I practice my water manipulation by bending it into different shapes and moving it around in the air. I also began meditating before even if I wasn't seeing any benefit as I knew it would help me with learning the mystic arts later.
After a month of training I had spent nearly all of my saved money and was pretty sure that I'd pushed my muscles beyond the peak of what was possible for a fourteen year old human. I also had amazing control over my water manipulation and the amount of water I could manipulate at one time grew a little although it wasn't nearly the same amount that Percy Jackson had been able to manipulate.
I had also decided to visit the Ancient One and hopefully start my mystic arts training because they would hopefully give me shelter and I was kind of tried of sleeping under a bridge. I also felt that I had progressed all I could in water manipulation without a proper teacher and hopefully the Ancient One would be able to help me in that regard.
