A long exhaled of relief alleviated a portion of the pressure that had been gradually accumulating on his chest when he relayed his message to Rhydal, as he was able to speak up himself. The accumulation would not cease until the the child that had been entrusted to them, was out of grave danger. At this point it was more than duty. On a brighter note, Rhydal was a very reliable guy. Yuuta thought he must have masterfully chose this mission considering its location, deeming himself most useful, which he would soon prove himself to be.
Yuuta finally allowed himself to sit down properly on the cold floor of the cave, engaging his mind to worry about the external matters such as warming up the inside of the cave, make a fire, if possible. They would have to spend the night here, after all and it was only going to get colder from here on. Yuuta turned his head at Flurris, trying to smile for him while Rhydal, probably, was saying the things he needed to say. He felt some things shifting on the ground next to him and turning to Rhydal, he saw that Rhydal was about to get Flurris to trust him by showing his fiery abilities. To be honest, Yuuta was curious too. It was not polite to ask someone to show off their powers earlier but now he would get to see it for himself. Yuuta observed as he touched the frosted ground and attempted to do something. ‘Hmm?’ Yuuta kept staring at the gloved hand. ‘Why’s he sitting there awkwardly like this and staring into void…?’
Rhydal retracted his hand and stripped off the glove, then place the bare palm against the ice again. ‘Don’t tell me…’ Nothing happened. Yuuta’s smile faltered, and diminished in a slow motion. And then he saw it. When Rhydal’s eyes met his, he saw the gaze of despair, irises devoid of colour, one that Yuuta himself was not unfamiliar to. He waved his hand before Rhydal’s face. [“Fox!!”], he signed to no avail. Scooting closer, Yuuta then held grabbed Rhydal’s shoulders and jerked him a little. [Hey! Look at me! Fox! It’s fine! It happens. You’re just mentally disturbed right now, so you might be not feeling the flow of it. Please don’t begin to think like you’re incompetent or useless. Because you’re not. You’re reliable and I’m sure you can fix whatever this is, okay?]. Yuuta shifted again to position himself between the kid and Rhydal. The sight of the former seemed to trigger him more than he already was. [Focus on me, alright?]
Yuuta drew a breath to brace himself. What he was about to inside an enclosed cave could be fatal to not only Rhydal but the three of them. Fortunately, as an A grade himself Yuuta had a better grasp of knowledge of the process. [I’m going to kick-start a current in your veins with my mana. It has a 60% risk of turning your mana berserk. To prevent that, you have to follow a special breathing exercise. You won’t be able to do it properly for the first time but it’s fine, try to do your best.] Yuuta began to explain the process, [Breathe in through your nose, as much as you can, and gather that air in your lower abdomen. Feel the mana flowing with the air you inhale. Then as you breath out, channel that mana to gather around your core. You’ll feel a jolt when I kick-start the wave. You must never hold your breath, even if it tries to choke you, and let the mana flow through the veins to your extremities. Don’t worry about accuracy, I’ll guide you. Don’t worry about the kid, if you start a fire, I’ll face it first. If you go berserk, I’ll handle you so just breath and channel your mana until your hands feel warm.]
With that, Yuuta sat down, folding his knees. Rolling his sleeves up his arm, he darted his index and middle finger at the middle of Rhydal’s chest, pressing the fingertips down where the fire mage’s mana core should be… Yuuta closed his eyes. When they fluttered open with a cold cyan glow in the dark, the temperature inside the cave dropped a degree. Chill accompanied with focused hostile and erratic mana charging into Rhydal’s core. Yuuta gave a nod to signal the start of breathing to stabilise it. 10 seconds…30 seconds… 1 minute… Yuuta felt the burning sensation of flames under his finger s.
