Eino's dive had been rather sloppy, and on shallow water, which caused his to hit his head. He rubbed the aching spot and looked at his hand to see if there was any blood but none was found. After a few minutes, the pain was completely gone. As Eino progressed deeper into the lake, he could feel the water grow significantly colder, though at the same time his body began to adapt to the new low temperature. His new webbed feet and hands made swimming much easier, which would be handy in case of an attack. Breathing felt... strange. It wasn't the same as breathing on land, and he could feel his gills moving whenever he inhaled and exhale, though it was nothing that he wouldn't get used to.

The lake was not only getting colder, but also darker. It was dark close to the surface, but the further they progressed downward the harder it became to see. When Eino reached a small group of students, he noticed their attention was on something else. He looked towards the same direction and saw a small creature, a thing, or maybe just plants moving about. With no interest in investing time in the unknown, Eino continued to follow the professors.
