The months-long special training began.
On the first day, Idrylia led six people to an underwater venue at the school, where the sky was a transparent layer of lake water, with many fish swimming within.
"First, try using your Talent Ability to guide these fish. When you can arrange all the fish in the lake into a symmetrical and beautiful rose pattern, you'll be considered qualified." Idrylia set a challenging goal right at the start.
The sound travels through air, then through glass, then into water—it weakens significantly along the way. Moreover, the guided fish, though they have weaker Soul Consciousness and are easily influenced, have limited intelligence. Commanding them with precision requires considerable effort.
At a glance, the lake contained thousands of large fish and tens of thousands of small fish, divided into various groups with differing habits. Their swimming postures and speeds also varied, making it difficult to command them collectively.
