The highway to the Naval Base was built over the ocean, flanked by tall, sturdy guardrails. Tide-monitoring devices were installed on both sides.
The road began at an on-ramp in the suburbs. With no obstructions, the journey would take several hours—a distance comparable to traveling between two neighboring cities.
Navy Avenue—that was the name of the road leading straight to the Azuregard City Naval Base. The moment the car Flora Bloom was in turned onto the avenue, she was hit with the faint scent of the sea and an abundance of Water Energy.
The moisture in the air seemed to carry a faint energy that swirled around Flora Bloom. She tried to absorb it, but it was futile. 'All this immense Water Energy around me,' she thought with a sigh, 'and I can't absorb a bit of it for my own use. What a waste.'
