"The first step before flying is to make sure you're physically and mentally fit."
Amber rested her brown-gloved hands on the belts at either side of her waist. She glanced at Li Qiuzhi and Lumine, nodded slightly, and continued:
"Judging by how you look, you should both be fine.
"Now, let's go over the first test. You'll take off from higher ground, then watch the wind's direction and strength while maintaining a steady glide for a stretch. In other words, you'll fly from the roof of the Knights of Favonius headquarters to the Windmill Tower down there near the city wall."
"Oh, that sounds pretty simple," Li Qiuzhi said as if he understood.
"Hehe, that's right. Looks like we'll definitely breeze through this."
Paimon folded her arms and said with a smile.
"Don't get careless. Plenty of rule-breaking incidents have already shown us that most accidents happen because people get careless while flying."
Amber gave a few examples of violations listed in the Flight Guide.
There was Rudolf, a Mondstadt citizen who had opened his Wind Glider and jumped from the second floor of his house to amuse his daughter, only to fracture his left leg and bruise his buttock muscles on the spot.
Then there was Jose, a bard who had insisted on performing in midair to show off his lyre skills to his drinking buddies, only to plunge headfirst from high above into the Wishing Pool at Lord Barbatos's feet. Although he hadn't been injured, the Knights of Favonius had banned him from flying for five years.
There was also the legendary adventurer, Ms. Alice, who had burst an Anemo Slime in full view of everyone and used the escaping airflow to take off.
In the end, the Acting Grand Master had restricted her movements and so on.
