Fifth Song | Video | August 12, Afternoon

[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.

Yeah. Icy Soul, they call it.

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.
