Lightning Dilemma

This time there were two frogs jumping around, I had to take down both of them with my ice magic. I'm now able to perform an Amazing attack which I think is called an ice slash , it is performed by creating a blade or cutting edge made of ice as an attack. It cuts and freezes the opponent so it takes time too prepare that is why I'm faced with the challenge of aiming to not one but two things jumping around.

Calestia was tapping her paw impatiently the entire time , I now he thinks I'm slow and placing two of these things will help or force me to improve faster. I cannot let him down especially with the effort he is giving me, I just have to find a way. okay let's go then. Two frogs equals twice the taunting, though my speed was still slower than theirs I didn't stop trying to send the ice slashes faster until one of them grazed one frog. A small flame of hope was ignited. Im close just a little bit more and- my knees gave up, I was drained of energy and I heard Calestia sigh in disappointment which made me lower my head in shame.

I gave my all for today, I wish I could but don't think I can continue. " Hurry up and absorb mana then we'll go back, hopefully by tomorrow you'll be able to get them. " Said Calestia, I did as he instructed and absorbed mana making my body feel refreshed. It only took me two minutes to absorb mana cause there was already enough mana in me to get to the next level, what is holding me back is my magic that is uneven for...now.

The next day...

Yes! One frog was cut in half while one frozen with ice , it's good that I was able to do it at just the start of the day. " Before you start with lightning I want you to attack with ice on your left hand and with water on your right hand" said Calestia, he opened his mouth and out came four of these frogs causing my eye to twitch in annoyance but I calmed myself down. At first it was a bit challenging to attack with both my water and ice magic but I was quick to get a hang of it and was able to keep up with the frog's until there wasn't any to keep up with wink! wink ! He told me to change and attack with ice on my right hand and water on my left hand, it wasn't hard so I went through with it just fine.

He then said" Good, now just like you did with water and ice, figure out lightning" I connected with the nature of water and ice because they had a source , what do I mean by that? Remember that I was able to fill the empty bucket with water meaning I can summon water just like normal mages do when they cast spells. When I say source I mean a river or any natural water I can now control it because I've connected with the water's nature or symbol. It's the same with ice, I can summon it and turn the natural water to ice but it's kinda weird for lightning.

I don't think I have to connect to anything cause it's not like I can control lightning from the sky or wait for a storm to control it. I can just stick to summoning it , but because I think it'll be cool to control lightning I thought why not then. Let's try that and if it doesn't work I still have nothing to lose cause I can just summon lightning just fine, oh god I hope I make sense.

Lightning can be seen as powerful, unpredictable, and dynamic. Lightning is powerful by its sudden and intense energy, capable of striking with great force and speed. No one predicts it's time of flashing the heavens with elegant yet sudden light and divine intervention in many cultures and belief systems. When it strikes down it destroys anything it touches. Overall, the nature of lightning is one of raw power, energy, and transformation.

I don't know if I got the connection or not cause there's no storm but a clear sky , I think i did though cause that was some deep analysing. I guess for now I'll stick with summoning lightning, with just a thought lightning gathered on my hand twitching and sizzling non stop. What was weird was that it wasn't silver like the normal one but white in colour, I know father's lightning is blue in colour but I've never heard of white light. Everything about me is weird and unheard of that I'm starting to get annoyed with myself. This lightning better be more powerful than normal lightning, and I'll calm down only because it's pretty.

" Everything about this human child is interesting" muttered Calestia something I wasn't able to hear, I ignored him thinking that he must be complaining about something.

Okay then let us begin then! I started with my familiarising stage where I try to control it to different shapes to sharpen the skill of creating attacks. Lightning isn't like water or ice, it's very hard to control it cause it's very powerful. Lightning is sudden and unpredictable so controlling it to a ball , straight line or keeping it in any shape is almost impossible cause it always reacts wild wanting to break free from that shape.

" Lightning is one of the most difficult magic that's why it has the most powerful attacking ability amongst the elements" said Calestia and I think I have figured that out already, try and help me or something. I sighed cause his uncaring attitude was obvious that he wanted me to figure it out on my own, the day ended up with me failing to keep it in any shape for long...

" Oh why the long face Claudia" asked grandma and i grumbled " lightning, I hate it!" She laughed while I wished to cry. " I see you're having problem with lightning, sadly I know nothing about it so I can't help you dear" oh what am I going to do, once I balance lightning with the other three I'll finally be in level one. The storage magic power will have to wait for now, sigh this 'figuring things out on my own' thing is exhausting. I can't catch break, as soon as I solve something another thing comes up. " Aw my poor grandchild, don't get discouraged I'm sure you'll figure it out very soon" said grandma, I know I will cause I have no choice , I don't want to be on level 0 for long. I have to cross the bridge no matter what even though I'm clueless how.
