After a few hours passed, Ryoma called Sage from their room to the main hall, where food was served. They had their lunch with the other members and Sage got to meet them and know them as well. They then exchanged stories and laughed together when random jokes rises. After a few hours passed, most of the members headed to their room to do their own business and a few stick at the main hall. Ryoma called over to Sage and asked him to follow him. Sage followed Ryoma without no further questions. Ryoma had told Sage about continuing their training that afternoon, so it was planned ahead of time. They walked under the trees of the valley, as they walked, Sage could hear the sound of water rushing ahead. He had something in mind of what they would do, but it was freezing cold as it was the middle of winter. “Wait are we…” Sage voiced up, but before he could say anything further, Ryoma turned around a little and placed his finger on Sage’s lips, “Shh, just do what I do.” he hushed Sage just like that. It was a little bit annoying for Sage to deal with such person. However having lived with the man he knew he could trust the man. After a few more steps, they arrived at the waterfall. It was beautiful, Sage had to admit it. Then Ryoma started undressing, “Whoa whoa what are you doing?” Sage responded with blushed cheeks. Ryoma laughed at Sage’s expression then explained himself as he toned down, “Well, we are going to sit under the waterfall for a few hours. It’s a good training for the body and mind, now come on.” he said while undressing everything but his undergarments.
Sage was speechless at first then sighed, “Fine, fine.” he had to agree with Ryoma, sitting under the waterfall is a good training, so he started undressing but his undergarments and followed Ryoma into the waterfall. Ryoma dipped himself in the water and walked towards the waterfall, seeing that Sage thought that it wasn’t that cold after all. So he dipped one of his leg straight into the water and it was as if he was impaled by thousands of knives. “Gaaah!” he shouted, shocked by the coldness of the water, “Now, now, you can do it, don’t be afraid.” Ryoma chuckled, then he sat on top of a round rock beneath the waterfall and closed his eyes, peeking at Sage a little. Sage took a deep breath and walked into the water, he waited for a few moments before his body regulated itself to the coldness. Sage kept breathing in and out calmly. He then followed Ryoma, sitting on a big round rock next to his, letting the rushing water fall onto his body and soul. Although it was super cold, and the water felt super heavy, Sage knew that that was the purpose of sitting under the waterfall. The coldness is to train his mind and soul to be strong. The impact of the strong water however is to train his body to be stronger. Sage focused on himself, and he could feel warmth surging along his body and his body getting tougher and tougher. He opened his eyes to peek what was happening, and to his expectations, he was radiating of warm yellow aura. He looked over at Ryoma and he could see purple aura around him. He smiled a little. Ryoma was the perfect trainer for him all along, as they both utilize their magic in the same way. Sage closed his eyes and continued focusing on himself, letting the force of the water impact and the coldness become one with him. He surrendered himself to nature, his soul was getting humbler, it became more and more pure. The warmth around him was getting warmer and warmer.
After a few hours had passed, Sage could feel the water around him move in a weird way, he peeked and saw Ryoma walking out of the waterfall. Sage decided that the right thing to do was to follow him. They then dressed up and walked towards the headquarters, and some of the maids there scolded them for getting the floor wet, but they could only laugh about it and run towards their room. They then showered and had dinner, then said goodnight to everyone and went to bed. The next morning Sage woke up and they all had their breakfast, and it was time for Sage to leave.
