The next morning, Noona woke up with a mix of excitement and anxiety. Her heart raced as she thought about the dragon scale she had hidden under her pillow.
She picked it up for inspection again. The patterns on the scale began to glow softly, as if responding to her emotions.
"Today… I have to try training it," Noona whispered to herself. She took a deep breath and gently touched the dragon scale.
Instantly, the glossy black power spread from the scale into her body. A warm heat traveled along her arms, yet there was a strange resistance, as if the power itself was testing her.
Noona stepped forward, trying different movements. She moved her hands in circles, and shadows of black dragons began to swirl around her. Symbols similar to tattoos appeared on the ground.
> "Not small… not easy at all," she murmured.
The power was far from fully controllable. Every movement caused echoes and feedback. She realized immediately that this training was not merely an experiment—it was a lesson in life itself.
The wind and rustling leaves whispered again.
> "Remember… this power is a double-edged sword… to cut or to protect, depends on your heart."
Noona took a deep breath, smiled at herself, and began practicing with determination. The power in her hands was not just a magical gift—it was a key that could change her fate and the lives of those she loved.
