Think. When Ayu was pondering about defense and protecting others, a shield was coming to her mind. Or rather a concept of one, a durable wall that would be able to keep others at bay. She was no knight in shining armor and had no intentions of acting as one... But that motive could be helpful. After all, she was able to create a barrier, even if the last time she used it, was years ago. And Ayu activated it on instinct, almost forgetting about what she was capable of for all this time... This didn't testify in her favor, did it? She remembered that she check on the chick of the crows laying in the nest, but the parents didn't approve of her help. They were suspecting that she only has malicious intentions toward their children, and to not be pecked and scratched, Ayu created a barrier... A shield from her own energy, that acted like a wall and let her treat the chick in peace before returning it to the pair of crows. That was it, that was the whole story... Nothing extreme or really dangerous happened.

So how about now? Ayu scratched her chin walking around in circles. The pressure was pushing her to the ground, but she wasn't going to give up just yet. Maybe it wasn't the best idea to start training in the Gravity Chamber, but if she won't jump into the deep water, she won't ever learn to swim. Figuratively of course.

Ayu stopped. She closed her eyes and joined her hands, creating a vision of a delicate bubble with vivid green color. When it came to plants, everything was happening naturally - would she be even able to weave her energy in the way needed to make a barrier? Could she even begin to try controlling her Ki if she couldn't sense herself properly? A dozen of doubts started to prickle her mind, and she started sweating. Maybe the training was a bad idea all along... But the thought of giving up never crossed her mind. Let's see. Energy. She needed to focus, even if it was a hellish feat inside gravity that strong. Ayu poured her Ki into her hands, smoothing it, building it up with a circular motion of her hand. Smooth walls grew translucent like glass and malleable like soft candy. The whole thing rocked gently to the size, following the gesture of Ayu's hand, but when it closed into a perfectly round ball, it stopped moving, solidifying instead. Was that it..?

Ayu peeked open one of her eyes to see a transparent, circular bubble made of energy. The walls were in pleasant emerald color, and in a way, it looked like a soap bubble was resting on the palm of her hand. Her gaze softened with surprise and gladness - she did it. She poked the barrier with her finger... Felt solid and smooth and Ayu smiled a little. She would be quite content with herself, though a sudden idea crossed her mind. What if she would try to hide anyone that would be inside? Well, she can't exactly conceal her energy and any attempt so far has failed spectacularly. If the Ki inside her is a problem, maybe she would be able to create a barrier that would conceal the energy of anyone that's inside? Of course, it wasn't a long-term solution to her lack of control, but it could be helpful in dire situations... Or would be great to aid those who, like her, weren't exactly able to conceal their presence. But how is she going to practice that? She was able to create a barrier, but any other effect felt a bit too farfetched for her to handle.

Or maybe not? Ayu raised her hand and a tendril started to grow, slipping between the mechanism of the hatch. The plant grew up a leaf - although a little slowly, because the gravity wasn't helping the flora to properly develop. The young woman picked the leaf and made the vines return outside, glancing at the green shape between her fingers. There was a faint amount of Ki in this one... Flora held energy inside them too, like any other living being, but it was diffused in all their tissues. It didn't work the same way as in the creatures with bones, flesh, and blood. Ayu pressed the leaf against her lips, in a way apologizing for taking its life and using it for training, at the same time thanking it for letting her grow. One dies so the other could thrive.

With a sigh Ayu deactivated the barrier, placing the leaf in the palm of her hand. The process repeated itself. She waved her Ki gently, the energy started to gather forming a rim that was evolving into a wall in a pure green color. Inside it, a single pale leaf was placed... But she didn't even have to focus to sense the faint Ki in it. Ayu sat down on the floor in her position to meditate, trying to figure out how to alter the barrier. What could she do to block the ability to sense what was hidden inside? More Ki pumped into the walls to make it stronger wasn't an obvious choice, yeah, it should only make it more obvious that something was inside. It could have been visible too, but she just wanted to conceal anything that was inside. A task perhaps too hard for her? She wasn't sure.

She got all the time she needed. There was a moment to adjust the amount of Ki and its hue. Ayu sat in silence, with her hand above the forcefield she created, its color slowly melting into a paler shade of green, the other time it was as dark as the tinted windows of sports cars. What if she made Ki denser... Or looser? No, then the barrier won't be able to withstand the damage. But... What if she would try making two walls, fusing them after? As she thought about it, her energy hardened, creating a shield around the leaf. But above that, with the sweat dripping out of Ayu's temple, she created another layer. Made from loosely spread energy, that was in a way active and blocking the ability to sense Ki of others? Perhaps that was stained with something else than only energy? She dared not to call it magic, but in the end, she didn't know what she has exactly done. The important thing was, that after she connected the two layers, Ayu held her breath and blinked, gazing at her creation.

She couldn't sense the leaf that was inside her energy barrier.
