[Day 33]
Yesterday, I continued to observe Aika practicing for full mastery. She wasn't even able to intertwine it with her longsword so the rest of the day went by with no progress. I told her over dinner, how she can imagine it since that seemed to be the root of her problem. She didn't have enough imagination.
If this world was like some of the other fantasy stories that I heard, then Aika would have no chance. Imagination was the root of magic in those stories and if you couldn't imagine, you couldn't do any magic.
She seemed excited to try but we first took a bath and went to bed. We didn't do anything at night which Aika seemed happy about since she just sat on the edge of the bed, legs crossed, with her hands in her lap… She was trying to increase her imagination.
...How do you even increase your imagination... Just keep imagining things…?
