*As she stood up she clenched her fist tightly and gritted her teeth determined to do this. Determined to cast an offensive spell, she was already just too angry and frustrated with this. Enough was enough, as she swirled her hand a small orb of wind gathered around her hand hover a few inches from her palm rather than bending into the shape of a weapon she'd just throw it straight infront of her forcefully. The orb made of wind quickly just moved through the still air as it would impact a random tree creating a dent before instantly dispersing back into the air, upon doing this a sudden exhaustion came onto Ellaine as she felt her knees weak and arms heavy like being drained of her mana from that simple spell. It was clear that the magic she had done wasn't exactly properly cast since it took too much of her reserved mana but atleast finally she was able to do something* "D-Did... Did I do it?" *She struggled to say while breathing heavily

*Mizu would look in surprise at Ellaine launched her spell and would be even further amazed to see the dent in the tree. She had expected some sort of weapon like shape but Mizu couldn't deny the results. She would turn to Ellaine and smile and hand her a waterskin*

"I would like to say yes, but I'm not one to sugarcoat my words. You dented the tree with whatever you just did right now, but it wouldn't be a lethal blow. That being said, this is great progress. You finally have a spell that can at least hurt someone. Just need to make it more efficient and more impactful. Do you need to take another break?"
Ila
"Th-That's great... Umm y-yeah I thi... Think another break is a good i-i-id-idea." *On Ellaine's face formed a smile although for Kyuu it was clear that the smile was a false one. It quivered and was unsteady as she stumbled her way back towards the tree disappointed since she now knew that she had barely made any proper progress on the spell atleast that's what she though. She was still unable to create the shape of the object nor was she even able to pierce through the tree. The gurl let out a sad sigh before resting her hand on the grass and just violently ripping them from the ground. Even with all that effort, even after she felt like she exhausted herself and all her mana she still was barely able to do something. A part of her really wanted to lash out in frustration but a larger part of her just wanted to stop and give up, why even put in the effort in trying anymore? It was clear she was horrible at doing this she should just stick to what she knows best and stay there. Only do healing, it did work for her years why should she even try this anymore... It doesn't matter just give up*
Michelle
*Mizu would press her hand to her hip and sigh. That fake smile was a bad sign as it meant Ellaine had taken a hit to her mentality. But Mizu didn't really know what else to do to help Ellaine other than offering tips and words of comfort. In the end if Ellaine decided to give up on training, there was nothing Mizu could really do about it. But he had faith in the little macen, and wanted to see her succeed, so she couldn't have her falter now. She would lean over Ellaine and offer her a sympathetic head-pat*

"You know, I really do admire the effort you are putting on improving yourself. It takes a lot of courage and determination. I'm sure that's why everyone in the orphanage appreciates you also"
