Kyle grabbed another fish from the shore and bit its head off.
"Focus!" Theodor shouted.
"How am I supposed to focus with these fish constantly trying to bite me?" he asked with a full mouth.
Right now, Kyle was sitting in the shallow waters of the lake.
Beside him, inside the water, was an orange stone.
In his hand was his hammer and a bowl made of stone.
"Keep going. You’re wasting time!" Theodor shouted.
"Sure thing, Boss," Kyle said with an eye roll.
He grabbed another stone from the shore and held it to the bowl.
Then, he carefully moved his Liquifier to the stone.
The stone partially liquified and fused with the bowl, enlarging it a bit.
"That’s big enough for now," Theodor said. "Put the Coral Stone in. Make sure that it is fully covered in water."
Kyle scooped the Coral Stone up with the bowl.
Luckily, there was more Coral Stone in the lake.
"Close the bowl," Theodor commanded.
Kyle grabbed the lid he had prepared and fused it to the bowl, creating a ball of rock.
"Good," Theodor said. "Remember, Coral Stone has to be contained in water. The more Ether the water has, the better. It will quickly lose its value if it is exposed to raw Ether."
Kyle just looked at the bowl.
It had taken him over an hour to create this bowl, and he really hoped that it was worth it.
The first rays of the sun already illuminated the horizon.
"Bring it back to your room. Your training with that hunter will start soon," Theodor said.
Kyle nodded, stood up, and traveled home again.
The first people had already appeared in the streets, preparing for the day.
Kyle put the stone with the Coral Stone into his room, greeting Samson’s wife.
She was preparing breakfast for Samson, who was still asleep.
Kyle left the house again and went to the clearing where Nervon would be training him.
Nervon was already there, and he was looking at Kyle with annoyance.
"You’re late," Nervon said with annoyance.
Kyle furrowed his brows and looked at the horizon.
A bit of the sun already peeked out.
"You said at dawn," Kyle answered. "Looks like dawn to me."
"At the brink of dawn," Nervon answered. "The sun is already showing, which means it’s after the brink of dawn."
"Sorry. I misunderstood, then," Kyle answered.
Nervon snorted.
"Take out your mace," he commanded.
Kyle held his hammer in his hand.
"Swing," Nervon ordered. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
Kyle did just that, grabbing the bottom of the hammer’s grip and swinging it from one side to the other.
It felt amazing to swing this heavy thing!
"Feels good, right?" Nervon asked emotionlessly.
Kyle nodded.
"Your mace is very destructive if swung like that. You could probably destroy my shield and break all of my bones if you hit," he commented.
"Swing again and try to hit me," Nervon ordered.
Kyle nodded and readied himself.
