Hard Training (1)

Once Arielle concentrated, the flames appeared and instantly disappeared again. She stayed in the lake long enough that her legs felt stiff. However, Arielle had had a hard time getting what Maxieno wanted. 

The sun was getting high, and the scorching sun started to bake her back. Otis, who joined them, wanted Arielle to rest for a while, but Maxieno glanced at him sharply.

"She is the flames. Even if she is roasted, it won't hurt her," Maxieno said in annoyance. He wanted Otis to get out of here right away.

Arielle shook her head. Her hands were already wrinkled from being underwater for too long. She raised her other hand out of the water so she could concentrate on one hand first. However, when she concentrated on her right hand, it was her left hand that caught on flames, causing Maxieno to hit her head.

"Are you stupid? Who told you to raise one of your hands?!" said Maxieno, telling Arielle to get out of the lake.
