Fifth Song | Video | August 12, Afternoon

[gonext]

[Karina's at the training ground and the camera is fixed at a training dummy that seems to have been frozen over. Well, it's melting now. But still, it's not everyday you see a snowman frozen dummy in the summer heat.]

It took me a really long time to try to learn it, but... I guess I can finally say that I can resonate with myself now. I thought about it during the attack on the city some days ago. I was doing my best to defend myself then suddenly, one of those things came too close. Next thing I knew, I blasted it away with my soul energy concentrated in one hand.

I know I still have to practice it... the way powers work in this place. But like Akiha said some days back, Meisters don't have to feel useless without a weapon.

[She pauses, thinking if she should end the feed right then and there. But a heaviness in her heart makes her continue.]

... it just feels a little lonely being without a partner.

[ Masako might not be a Meister, but it's still interesting enough to see them use their powers by themselves.. she'll have to ask Heisuke about it later for sure. After all, their powers are most likely different, huh? ]

So you have a power related to ice? [ Don't mind Masako just butting in here, whoops. ]

Yeah. Icy Soul, they call it.

[huntressing]

I see. I haven't really been looking into all the various powers Meisters have. [ Mostly since she isn't one herself and Masako sucks at caring about things beyond that.. with a few specific exceptions. ]

I suppose it's a rather useful power. After all, you could use it to fight even by yourself.

[gonext]

Well, I heard somewhere [Akiha, really.] that meisters can perform Soul Menace. It's kind of hard to explain it properly, but it's like using your soul channeled through your body like a stun gun.

Since my soul has an ice element, my Soul Menace has that added effect.

[huntressing]

Have all Meisters been practicing this? I haven't heard a thing about it from Heisuke.

[ .. or maybe he's just slacking off, huh. ]

[gonext]

Well, not all. It takes a lot of practice. And there used to be an exclusive class for very skilled meisters teaching them how to do it. I'm just fortunate that I heard about it from Professor Stein once, then learned a bit more about it from Akiha.

[ Akiha.. Masako has to wreck her memory for a bit to recall who that is again. ]

She seems like a rather busy person, going around and teaching all sorts of people this.

[gonext]

I guess she is, but I don't really know what kind of schedule she keeps. I only know her from SEES and the Meister Ability area at morning training.
