Kat was surprised when Shizuka sunk into the water without so much as a splash. Even straining her eyes, Kat could hardly see a ripple in the water. "That can't be normal" said Kat
Minor nodded, "Yeah, that means she's a water mage"
"Wait, so you can just throw people into a body of water and if they don't splash they're a water mage" Kat said incredulously
Minor shook her head "Of course not. That water is supercharged with mana. If mana was a more physical thing, you could say that pool is almost half mana. That mixing with a water mage is what makes it stay calm"
Kat nodded, but started to frown as the seconds past and Shizuka didn't resurface. Kat's worries were quickly assuaged when Master Resho grabbed a huge log from underneath the final step and threw it into the water. He followed this up be breathing out another smoke hand and reaching into the water to put Shizuka up on it.
"What sort of a water mage are you" barked Master Resho
