Eli walked out of Aadya's private chamber; the class was over, so he decided to go home.
As he strolled on the open corridor, the cool breeze of the evening whispered through the ancient trees that surrounded the academy. Thoughts about mastering the 3rd form buzzed in Eli's. For the past hour, he had relentlessly tried to make contact with the Living form, but it remained obstinately silent. Frustration knitted his brows as he attempted to harness other elements, only to feel an invisible barrier thwarting his every effort.
"Sigh" Eli sighed inwardly. All he could do was wait and practice, hoping that the key to the Living form would unveil itself with time.
"A-Asher?"
Eli halted his footsteps when he heard someone calling him.
Turning around, he saw a light purple-haired girl, Marie, walking towards him with a hesitancy that added a layer of tension to the air.
