Since Gara really did look fine while filling the water barrels, Wina's anxiety eased a little.
She promised herself she would prepare tea and other herbal drinks for Gara after they got home from the field.
Meanwhile, after filling six barrels, Gara headed to the river.
For the past month, every time he finished filling water, he would stop by the river to train his Talent.
A month ago, it only took him three days to bring down a 1.5-meter-diameter tree.
After that, trees no longer felt like a challenge. He shifted her focus to rocks.
There were plenty of large rocks in the river. But because he didn't want to shock the villagers with oddly sliced stones, he chose to test his power on rocks submerged deep in the river.
He had lost count of how many stones she'd split underwater.
He even smoothed the surfaces of the cut rocks to avoid injuring anyone who might accidentally step on them.
