Yuna as usual sat under the night sky and control the element once again.
It has been a week since she started the daily mental exhaustion in controlling the element and let it run on the various part of her body.
Maybe because her body is still young and does not accumulate that much of filth yet, after a week, she merely discharge a light coloured mucus and after another week, she no longer discharge anything.
Yuna also started her next experiment or try out which was to continuously absorb and direct the element all day.
If she were to absorb and control too many, Yuna is also smart enough to know that she will not be able to deal with it although her control of element became much easier and smoother with each night practice, she was not yet at a level where she can absorb elements in masses all day long.
So, in the first few days, Yuna absorb and control a really small portion. Significant enough to not drain her of energy if she were to control it for whole day long.
Little by little, Yuna increase her rate of control and absorption of element inside her body, letting it nourish her plate and let some elements running around every inch of her body.
Her vision does get better, her hearing also got sharper and Yuna felt lighter and energetic.
It takes 21 days to make a habit and 90 days to make it a permanent lifestyle.
Months passed and Huin town finally ushered in a rainy season.
One night, Yuna who now habitually started controlling and absorbing elements all day long in a plentiful quantity suddenly black out.
However, when she black out, Yuna does not lose consciousness. Instead, her consciousness becomes clearer and clearer.
At the dim and dark consciousness, small light started to appear little by little. Red, Blue, green and all other varied colour. Yuna without needing to guess have an instinctive knowledge that the small balls of light are an element.
From then on, Yuna when she wants can see the element of various colours floating in the air.
Once she could see the elements, Yuna was able to see where more elements is floating around and she discover that element exist the most abundant in a tree.
Her rich imagination came up with a plausible reason.
Wood element in the tree itself, water element from absorbing water by the root, earth element by using the earth as the foundation to stand, fire element by absorbing sunlight and tree gave out oxygen and absorbing CO2, a supplement for air.
"My genius knew no end"
Shamelessly proclaiming, Yuna from then on used to place her hand on a tree and like to absorb the accumulated element from it.
Yuna feels that her days are going well and she also started to feel at ease and learn to integrate quite well especially having her grandfather who took good care of her.
"Its' time to learn on how to properly control and manipulate the elements"
Yuna who now can unconsciously and continuously absorb elements plan to take her next step which is bending the water, earth, fire conjuration and air bending.
Unlike others who try to learn various fancy way of manipulating the element, Yuna simply want to enhance her ability first of all or maybe even giving attribute to her element.
For example, she don't want to learn the so called fire meteor shower, Air cutter and other fancy move. Yuna just feels that those type of move does not have much substance except that it look quite classy.
She can also learn those fancy move after she feel that she can put more weight and meaning to the element itself.
Now, at a time like this, her years of reading fantasy novel came in handy once again.
Fire is not about the fancy style of control. Fire is heat. The greater the heat, the greater the strength.
So, Yuna compress her fire conjuration and provide more and more heat.
Of course, nothing is ever that easy, compressing the heat and fire in a tiny flame drains energy and depleted elements that was stack inside the plate fast. Thankfully, Yuna don't need to deliberately absorb elements anymore and can already passively absorb it so the depletion of element inside her body could still be supplemented from exterior continuous supply somehow but the drainage of energy will need more time to get used to it and make it more easy as time goes by.
Anyway, it is not physical labour and Yuna feel that she can cope with it more.
She don't need to squeeze her brain hard, learning desperately or even roll hard, training herself.
She also like the fact that she is getting stronger in her own way albeit not knowing how much and how fast or good she grows, it still gave her a small sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when she gain small strength.
Learning to bend element is her small entertainment in a world where she cannot read novels or even watch drama or movies or browse social media.
Yes, life is actually very boring but boring is still better than training hard like the protagonist.
"Let's start with fire"
Then she will slowly move on to other element as well.
They say that at a certain level of heat, you can melt metal, and at another certain level of heat, you can melt bones. With each level of heat, things that can be done become higher and higher.
"Let's try to get at the level of metal melting heat and then focus on other elements"
Although different metal have different melting point, Yuna at least want to produce heat intense enough to melt for example, nickel metal.
Well, fantasy reader always dream of being able to do supernatural things and Yuna is not spare of such day dream either. Since she is finally able to accomplish that dream, Yuna also passionately learn on how to do supernatural thing at her own pace.
