The training field behind the Vaise compound was still the very picture of chaos.
Rufus was trembling like a wet chihuahua, as if he had been subjected to something terrifying.
Jessy was trying to meditate, but she couldn't.
Instead, she was frowning.
It was hard for her to focus with all the rustling sounds in the background.
The source of that rustling?
Alex, who had jumped into the bushes, scared that Clara might kill him for breaking her concentration, was the source of that noise.
When Jessy had confronted him, he had said that he was meditating in nature.
Then there was Jake; he seemed to be meditating, but he was too quiet for one to know whether he was awake.
Clara was glowing faintly, more goddess than girl at this point.
Only she was the one who was actually circulating her mana.
However, there was one more person with them—someone still new to them.
It was Siris.
She sat cross-legged in the circle like she was in the middle of a serene tea ceremony.
