A path is not simply for walking, its purpose lies in moving forward and improving oneself.

Daichi held the sextant in his hand and gazed up at the sky again to check if Polaris was still there. He frowned at how stupid his thoughts were. Of course Polaris would still be there! He then held the tool in front of his eye and at the horizon before he quickly pressed the clamp at the bottom of the sextant. Now that it was set he held the tool firmly in his hands, afraid it would tilt or go down and loose the horizon. Luckily it didn't and he used the mirrors to find polaris and placed it on the horizon.

He then let loose of the clamp and swung it a little. Still set. The Slytherin then looked down at the numbers to read the angle.. 35? he lowered the sextant before writing down the details on his notebook.
