Target Practice [solo]

Kozai was almost all set. He had been doing well so far recovering from his illness. He had been very sick the past few days, and it was not a pleasant experience. Now, he was lounging around in his residence, at a loss for what to do. It was too early, as of yet, to join Arcanis, and he was sure there was something else he needed while he was in Iwa. All he really had to do was remember what it was. Ugh… he got up from where he was sitting down and went outside. He made careful sure to lock his door before he left. He looked around him. Iwa that day was pretty chilly. The wind whistled slightly through the buildings, fresh and crisp. It snapped through his hair, and he shivered slightly. He knew that he couldn’t freeze from this kind of weather, but he still didn’t like it that much. He just felt a little uncomfortable… as if there was something ominous in the air. He just didn’t like it. He walked a little down the street and frowned slightly. Well… maybe it was just his imagination. He looked upwards slightly, and saw the clear sky, which was strangely devoid of clouds. Hmm….. Kozai conjured up a disk of water and soared at high speed over the village to the mountains. He went up to his old hot spring, and sat down by the hot water. He put his hand in, and withdrew a sphere of water. He shaped it into a spear…. A spear of ice. He threw it to his left. Hmmm… maybe he could do something interesting.
 

He drew up a wooden circle and created a ton of water spears. As he launched them toward the circle, he turned them into ice. They landed pretty close to the center, but not where he wanted them to be. He furrowed his brow and tried again. They landed even closer this time. However, he was frustrated that the spears hadn’t gone as he wanted to. So, he completely destroyed the target by smashing it with a sphere of water from above. The target was crushed beneath the sheer force of the water. Kozai smirked and prepared to return home. He felt somewhat satisfied now that he had destroyed the target. He now knew that there were several ways to approach a target. High precision… and crushing.
