After undergoing Alexander's training for a few days, Michelle successfully created her own skill.
It wasn't all that complex. She just channeled the shadow essence within her body outside and had the surrounding shadow essence stick to it. Then, she had it strike at the lake's surface.
The first few times, it just exploded against the water, but after enough training, it dissolved into it, turning it gray.
Shadow essence started pulsing through the water, and with a bit more effort, Michelle was able to make a ball of water leave the lake.
And to get at least some petty revenge, she controlled it to get above Alexander. There, she retracted her control from it.
It turned back into ordinary water and fell on Alexander.
Michelle was hoping it would soak him, but Alexander reacted quickly. He formed a layer of shadow essence around him, and the water just flowed around him, falling to the ground.
Seeing that, Michelle clicked her tongue, not concealing what her intentions were.
