"Let's test this one more time," looking at the river, blanco closed his eyes, and the gills around his neck waved in an unusual manner.

Bulb!

The sound of the water flowing through the stream, the air bubbles popping up from deep within, and the continuous humming sound of numerous kinds of fish swimming through the water began to be heard clearly by Blanco.

Woosh!

Among those fish, he heard the sudden movement of a fish darting rapidly upward.

Blanco opened his eyes and looked at the water flow once again, preparing to rush forward.

Flap-flap!

Suddenly, Blanco heard another sound coming from up in the sky.

Splash!

The fish jumped out from the water and hovered through the air as far as it could go. At its highest point, it flipped in a skillful manner and readied itself to dive back into the water.

The rays of the sun shined on the fish's scaly surface as it flipped through the air.

Scree!

At that moment, an ear-piercing sound came from the sky.

Flap-flap!

Flaring its giant wings, a flying eagle-like creature rapidly approached the fish.

Its razor-sharp claws shined as they clutched the fish hovering above the water. In the next moment, it flapped its wings again and flew up through the air at an extremely fast speed.

While flying up, it glanced back toward the water flow and the bushes around it with a keen eye. Not noticing anything unusual, it looked back at the sky.

Hiding under a large bush, Blanco glanced at the sky. The eagle-like creature was flying far into the sky, and at one point, it tossed the fish in its claws upward and swallowed it in one bite.

"Velocite Eagles, If I hadn't managed to catch the sound of its wings, I would have been the one to end up in those claws instead of that fish."

Splash!

Another floater fish jumped up from the water and jittered through the air.

Swish!

From a nearby bush, a Frost Maker hurriedly dashed forward, catching the fish and landing beside Blanco. The Frost Maker was the little female creature, with light markings visible throughout her body.

"Even without gills like mine, she managed to catch it this soon. Her growth in these few weeks is terrifying," Blanco thought as he looked at the little female creature. "Could she also be a rare one that awakened a special ability?"

Thud!

The female creature dropped the fish on the ground and gazed toward Blanco, her eyes filled with expectation.

"Good job," thought Blanco as he walked past her, nodding in acknowledgment. "When she shows off her skill like that, I feel a bit inferior."

Blanco turned his focus back toward the water flow.

Splash!

Another floater fish jumped out.

Swoosh!

In an instant, Blanco dashed forward, grabbed the fish, and landed on the other side.

"But whenever she does so, she becomes good competition for me," he thought, biting down on the fish until it slowly went silent.

Susuh!

Through the bush-filled field, the father appeared, walking toward the water flow. He jumped to the side where Blanco stood, emitting a sound as he landed.

Graaa!

At the end of its growl, it began to run through the grass field. Seeing it, Blanco followed closely behind. The little female creature hurriedly jumped to the other side and followed behind Blanco.

Even though the father creature ran swiftly through the grass field, Blanco managed to keep up with him. The little female one, however, slightly fell behind.

While running, the other Frost Makers that scattered around in the wild to fish in other spots joined in. The fatty one, who was fishing in another spot, jumped out from a bush field as he joined the line of the Frost Makers.

"Seems he ate all of the things he caught," Blanco guessed as he saw some fish parts around the mouth of the fatty one.

Running through the grass field, the father led them to a large tree at the corner of the field. Climbing up through it, the father ran through the tree branches and jumped from one to another.

The Frost Makers following him also jumped, doing so skillfully and with experience.

After jumping from one tree to another and running above the tree forest for a while, the group of Frost Makers arrived at their familiar tree where their nest is located.

Climbing up in the nested tree, Blanco glanced at the giant tree that he could see in the distance. It stood magnificently, illuminating the surroundings with its own color and brightness.

"It's still the same as I first saw it, gigantic as ever. Maybe when this training session is over and we can go our own way, I should check it out," Blanco thought while looking at the giant tree.

But at that moment, to his vision, another Frost Maker appeared, running very quickly and glancing toward Blanco with competitive eyes.

As he was the first one to run behind the father, it indicated that Blanco should be the strongest among all others to follow him closely. Seeing how these Frost Makers were trying to outrun him, Blanco understood their intentions. And following the other one he saw another few Frost Makers trying very hard to outrun him.

Some of them bumped into the body of the little female creature and the fatty one who was following closely behind Blanco.

Kraaa!

Even though the fatty one simply ignored them, the female one showed some resistance and fearlessly confronted them.

"Look at them, they still have hope in their hearts to be the ones to get acknowledgment... Should I encourage them? If they see that there's still a chance to beat me, maybe they'll give more of a challenge for me."

Suddenly, the speed of the other Frost Makers increased as they ran past Blanco. Blanco slowed down, which the others took as a chance to run past him.

The little female creature and the larger one looked surprised and confused at the sudden turn of events, while the others, who didn't have any thoughts of challenging for acknowledgment, also had surprised expressions on their faces as they witnessed it.

Running at the front of the others, the one frost maker glanced back at Blanco, giving him a mocking look.
