Good. Kaiden didn't want to waste their time on something that would take ages to learn. They just needed the basics. Hadama explained the core concepts of magic, but it was hard to wrap their minds around it. Kaiden was still processing the concept of 'will' and 'vision' as they watched the King pause momentarily before the water reacted. Eying the sudden vortex, Kaiden reached out and poked it with a single finger. It still felt like normal water to them. Shouldn't magic water feel different?
Knowing that it was their turn, Kaiden skewed their eyes shut and focused, trying to envision the water around them moving. After a few long moments, nothing happened. The mershark's tail thrashed and they growled under their breath, I'm willing you to fucking move. Much to their annoyance, the water still didn't react. The shark's eyes snapped open, and they threw their hands up in frustration. This isn't working!
Just behind them, a small water spike came up and smacked a nearby fish, sending it back a few feet. The seabass sent the men a look of disdain as it swiftly swam away. Kaiden glanced behind themselves in confusion before glancing at Hadama. Did...did I just do that?
