Every day, Aizel's rigorous training regimen continued under the watchful guidance of Aquarian.
He spent the mornings in deep meditation, getting into the spirit of the ocean and bringing his mind and body into balance with the ocean's currents.
As the sun hit its highest point in the afternoon, Aizel and Aquarian fought fiercely with their swords.
The mastery of the sword arts became his second nature, a fluid and formidable extension of himself.
Aquarian sword art was like becoming one with water. Whenever he fought Aquarian, he felt like he was wielding his sword against an entire ocean.
Evenings brought a change of focus as Aizel delved into the world of botanical knowledge with Vespara.
Together, they learned about the many different kinds of plants and flowers and how they could be used in battle. This important knowledge of nature's cures and poisons would help him a great deal in his future work.
