Iris clenched her fist a couple of times as she took in everything around her.
She felt it deeply as the coolness of her Water Ki clung to her skin.
She stirred from the soft grass beneath her, brushing aside the dew collecting on her forearm.
The air around her was clear, the gentle sound of falling water echoing in the distance.
All was quiet as she felt her mind clear and focused.
"Hahahahaha~"
Iris glared as Rudra stood there looking at nothing and laughing like a lunatic.
Well, almost, all was quiet.
'Idiot' She shook her head, ignoring his antics as sat up slowly, body responding like a tuned string.
She felt stronger and more connected with water than she ever had before.
The moment she opened her eyes, the world was sharper.
Tiny motes of water drifted through the air around her, gently orbiting her like petals in a still pond.
She felt stronger!
And proud that she had managed to break through to the next realm!
Curious, she muttered to herself,
"Status."
