That increase to my [Grace] was quite a surprise but now, my movement during the pseudo tai chi became much more smoother and refined because of it. I continued with both training, working on the water bucket in the morning and right before I go to bed and the canal during the day. With more and more experience, the better and more improved I did these motions.

Along with better control over my body, the more I felt connected with the water. When I was deep in the trace of training, it was as if I was one with the water and felt it through a spiritual bond. At first I though it was all in my head until one day I felt a disturbance. Not that something was wrong or unnatural but more like it felt like something was vaguely moving around in the back of my skull. Like it was behind me but also within my senses at the same time. After feeling out this phenomenon for a bit, I opened my eyes and turned around. What this thing was turns out to be some kind of water snake or eel swimming up the canal right up to me. Thankfully I was able to head back to the road and be long gone before it got the time to catch up to me because there is no way I would wish to find out what would happened if I did not left.

This was not the only strangeness that hint at the progress I was making. One night while trying to create a wave in a new water bucket, I thought maybe I needed some kind of energy to do this. Bending was not free in the show, if used too much, it exhausted the characters. I did not knew what I needed or if I had it or not but I tried to look deep inside myself and pull whatever I found to use in this practice. At first I thought this did nothing but around an hour after doing this, I swear to god that I saw the surface of the water ripple the tinniest bit and a tiny bit is still something!

I was quite excited at what happened but was disappointed that it was not enough to unlock the [class] but little would I know that all my efforts would finally pay off the next day.

While performing my daily routine, my practice by the canal was quickly interrupted by the longest stream of system notification I ever seen since right before I got here.

With the last notification, an object materialized out of nowhere. I had to rush to catch it from being dropped onto the muddy ground. It looked like an actual waterskin but of quite good quality. It was not that big, the same size of my satchel, looked like it can only hold at most two, three cups of liquid. It was beautifully decorated as it painted in patterns of blue and white with a spiraled circular design in the center on both sides. The mouth is made of this very nice looking stained wood with a cork attached to a string right. There are also straps that can act like a belt to either keep it at you waist or swing it on your back.

What is this actually? Does it do more than what its appearance implies?

[Voluminous Waterskin]

This waterskin may not seem to hold much but it can fit an average barrel's size of water or water-based liquid inside

Woah, that is much more water than what I would thought it could have, especially useful away from sources of water. Anyways, is that it or do you have anything else to say [System]?
