"I don't know. Well, let me see." After saying this, Fein activated his perception. An invisible ripple came out from his body that spread around. It used light as its medium and the speed was sixty times faster than a bullet. "Oh... There she is."
"Where?" Aoi asked in turn. She didn't know why, she was always worried about her master. Just now, she thought that something bad happened.
"She's just bathing in an oasis near here. Well, let's also bathe later. The smell of the beast we killed might cause problems for us later."
Fein suggested. He knew that monsters were particularly sensitive to smell. Although they weren't really got splashed by the monsters that they have killed, some lingering scents would still inevitably appear on their body.
"Bathing? I'm in. My butt feels uncomfortable... I want to clean it to remove the blood of the giants that died from it." Voli said while licking his golden fur like a cat.
Just like that, Sofia came back with her wet and she have a refreshing look on her face. Sofia changed her clothes to a comfortable ones. White loose T-shirt, blue pants, and shoes customized for running. Even with the shirt on her, it couldn't hide her two mountain peaks.
Then, it was Aoi's turn who cleaned her feathers and whole body. It only took five minutes for Aoi to finish and the water on the oasis became colder.
Now, it was Voli and Fein's turn. They looked at the oasis, both with a stunned expressions. White mist was coming out from the water and they could even see some floating ice on the water.
Fein felt the temperature in the oasis was lower than it should be. He couldn't help but sigh bitterly. "It seems it's a bad idea to let Aoi bath first."
"How to do now, master? Should we bathe with these eyes freezing cold?" Voli furrowed his brows. He doesn't really cold water much because what he likes was lukewarm water.
"Don't worry too much... There's a simple solution." Fein has a casual smile on his face. "Well, don't disturb me for the next three minutes."
Hearing this, Voli became curious about what his master wanted to do. 'What does the master plan to do?'
Then he just saw Fein sitting on the grass for the next three minutes without moving or batting an eyelid. But Voli didn't show impatience as he believed his master 100%... If his master said that he has a simple solution, then there must be!
Just like that, Fein stood up with a smile on his face. Then he walked towards the water with a solemn expression.
Voli couldn't help but swallow as he saw the rare-serious expression on Fein's face. As Fein's hands made a contact with the water, the ice mist on the water gradually lessened until it disappeared. Then the ice floating on the surface of the water visibly melts.
"It's a success." Fein smiled. "Voli, come and touch the water."
Voli did just as Fein said. He walked on Fein's left and looked at the water which was clear enough that he could see his reflection in detail. Voli stretched his hand slowly... Upon the contact of his paw with the water, a ripple was produced which ruined the seamless crystal clear reflection of the water.
"Oh, it's not cold anymore? What did you do?" Voli's expression turned curious and his eyes were fixed on Fein. He could even see the water have a faint mist, like a hot spring.
"I just created an elemental technique on the spot." Fein smiled in response. "It's really handy to have an understanding of the laws. Though, you don't need it that much since you have a natural affinity to wind and lighting already."
Fein could see Voli become envious of the mention of laws. Fein couldn't understand either why Voli doesn't understand the laws of lightning and wind when he has perfect control over them.
DING!
System: Stupid host, you would know in the future why Voli doesn't need to understand laws anymore.
'Huh? Is that a hint?' Fein asked the system in his mind in doubt. Unfortunately, the system didn't respond anymore which made Fein sigh.
Hearing Fein's words. Voli nodded reluctantly. In actuality, he really wants to understand how laws work like his master, but he couldn't sense it at all.
"Well, let's bathe."
SPLASH!
As Fein jumped on the water, a sound of splash was produced. Fein felt the warmth the water brought into his body. That's right, he made an artificial hot spring with his newly created fire-elemental technique. Though it's not a simple fire technique, it includes some of the theories in thermodynamics. The effect was simple, but the principles were quite complex. With such a successful result, Fein determined that elemental techniques could really be used for daily life!
The name of the technique was quite simple. High-Temp Adjustment... This elemental technique could increase the temperature of things he touched. Of course, he also considered doing another one, the opposite of high-temp is low-temp. Which would enable him to lower the temperature of things he touched. He could also combine the two and creature temperature manipulation! Though, his understanding of fire and ice wasn't enough for that. He also has to study temperature to solidify his knowledge.
Seeing his master enjoying himself, Voli didn't hesitate any longer. He took a deep breath, made a pose, and dived into the water with a splashing sound. Due to Voli's weight, the splash of water reached two meters in height.
"Oh... So comfortable!" Voli's golden fur flickered slightly, showing his happiness. The warmth of the water made the muscles in his body relax and his mood became positive.
Voli subconsciously closed his eyes in pleasure. He floated on the doing various poses and styles.
'Who would have known that this lazy brat would enjoy this kind of thing?' A smile appeared on Fein's face. He actually preferred seeing Voli actively enjoying himself rather than resting on the ground all day lazily. He was worried that Voli would become a sloth, that he wouldn't even want to move an inch due to laziness.
