The sun gradually set in the west, and Ron walked out of the laboratory to the training field in the backyard of the workshop.
Dale was already there waiting, her silver hair shimmering brilliantly in the glow of the setting sun.
These days, the growth speed of the Little Sea Siren was astonishing.
Now she had the build of a ten-year-old human and was becoming increasingly skilled in Water Element control.
"Master!" Seeing Ron, Dale waved joyfully, "Look at my new skills!"
She drew a graceful arc in the air with her hands, and Water Elements gathered to form a delicate Crystal Ball, sparkling with rainbow colors in the sunset.
"Not bad." Ron smiled and nodded:
"The control is very stable."
"There's something even more impressive!" Dale proudly announced, then took a deep breath, a hint of focus flashing in her eyes.
The Crystal Ball suddenly split into dozens of smaller balls, orbiting around her like planets around a star, forming a flowing protective barrier.
