6) Training - 2

*Rustle* *Rustle*

Rustling sound could be heard inside the base and as time passed it increased. Everyone looked at each other trying to figure out what was going on. Only then did they realize that Gloria still had her eyes closed sitting in the same position as before. "Looks like it's Gloria who'll unlock her powers next" whispered Iris in order to not disturb her. Suddenly the wind started howling and there was a storm inside the base. Everyone and everything were thrown away, and they were floating in the air.

*Closed her eyes tightly in fear* but the expected pain of being thrown down didn't come. Iris opened her eyes and saw she was in Nico's arms. She heaved a sigh of relief and was about to jump out of his arms when he increased the force of his grip on her "Stay here lest you get thrown away again". Even though he said it seriously, she could still see that his eyes were filled with mirth. "You.... I was just not careful that's why this happened"😕 said Iris aggrieved. "Hmm it's okay" and he hugged her. "HEY YOU TWO STOP BEING LOVEY DOVEY AND HELP US!!!" After hearing Simon shouting I hurriedly pushed Nico but suddenly lost my balance😧. "Look I said you'll be flown away"😏 he said as he hugged my waist. "Where did the cold Nico go, are you an imposter." "Nico is cold only towards others" he whispered near my ears and I looked at him incredibly. "Not towards you sweetheart" he pecked my ear lightly. I was frozen stiff😶. Finally, the wind calmed down. "Iris are you okay?" I heard Alex as he came towards us and watched as Nico's expression miraculously morphed back to that of the cold iceberg. "Hmm we are fine" I said.

Gloria opened her eyes and looked at us happily "I got wind related powers." "Really show us fast" said Simon excitedly. "Okay move to the side all of you" she said and then made a slashing motion with her hand. We felt wind moving in front of us and then the wooden shelf in split into two. "It's called Wind Blade. I can cut my opponent into pieces" she grinned. Simon shivered 'I should stay away from her in the future'. "Alex come and use your powers to throw something at me with full speed" asked Gloria. "Oh Okay. Be careful, I'm going to start." Gloria stretched out her hands forward and opened her palms towards Alex. Just as he threw the knives she made a pushing motion and the knives as if bumping into something stopped and fell down. "I call it Wind Wall. It can help me block attacks."

"Good job Gloria" said Udonna "Looks like you got both attack and defense abilities".

" Now only Nico and Iris are left". She looked towards us "You two continue practicing and Alex, Simon and Gloria you three go and try fighting each other using your powers. It will help you in understanding your abilities. "
