As Jake ntioned training, Luna suddenly entered.
"Don't worry, Luna, I can train them on my own," Jake said, seeing his maid.
Luna, with her emotionless face, tilted her head and said, "Chief Elder Ragur is here to et you."
Jake nodded and went to the door to welco Ragur. "Sir Ragur, can I help you with sothing?" Jake asked.
"As a matter of fact, yes, you can help ," Ragur replied, and then Jake motioned him to enter inside.
Once inside, Ragur surveyed the room and the group assembled there. "It's good to see you all together," he began. "I've co to discuss an urgent matter regarding Dio."
Jake asked calmly, "Is sothing wrong with Dio?"
He knew Dio abrupt leaving of academy was related to his family matter, thinking its probably sothing like Dio will not be returning or sothing similar to it.
Ragur shook his head. "No, not exactly. But there are things you all need to know. Dio's situation is complicated, and it concerns all of us."
The room fell silent as everyone turned their attention to Ragur.
"Dio is tainted," Ragur continued. "Not by his own choice, but because of actions taken by his father's side of the family. This has led to his powers being... unstable. However, he has been given an artifact to restrain his Taint Aura and mask his appearance."
As Ragur dropped his words, with the exception of Ramis and Tista, everyone's eyes widened slightly.
"Tainted, huh? Co to think of it, Dio was a Fey folk," Jake said. "By tainted, you an his life core is reversed and becos a negative aspect of it?" Jake asked, looking at Ragur.
Ragur nodded. "Yes, you can say that."
He then continued, "You must have heard how bad just being tainted is, right?"
Everyone nodded, and then Ragur said, "But do any of you know what it actually ans?"
Hearing this, everyone shook their heads.
Ragur sighed and began to explain. "Being tainted ans that Dio's life core, which should be a source of positive energy and growth, has been corrupted. Instead of nurturing life and balance, it now channels destructive and chaotic forces. This isn't just a matter of having different powers; it's a fundantal change in his very essence."
Emily frowned. "So, it's not just that his powers are different. They're inherently dangerous and unstable?"
"Exactly," Ragur confird. "Tainted individuals can cause harm unintentionally. Their presence alone can disrupt the natural order, leading to chaos and instability. That's why it's so important for Dio to have the artifact that restrains his Taint Aura."
Jimmy spoke up, "And if the artifact fails or is removed?"
"Then Dio's true nature would be revealed, and it could lead to catastrophic consequences," Ragur said solemnly. "People fear and despise the tainted because they represent a threat to everything they hold dear. If Dio were exposed, he could be hunted, persecuted, or worse."
"Why though? I an, his power might be destructive, but compared to mine, I think it would be child's play," Ramis said.
Ragur shook his head. "It might be true, or it's probably true, but the difference between you and him is that you can control your power, but he can't."
Ragur sighed and tapped his fingers on the table. "Let explain it to you all in the simplest way."
"Think of everyone's core as a perfectly round bead. If we were to roll it on a smooth surface, it would move perfectly without any turbulence, right?" Ragur said, and everyone nodded.
"Now, Dio's once perfectly round core is jagged and broken in various parts. Even if we were to move it on a smooth surface, it would move chaotically," Ragur explained.
"As for why I am here, I want that surface to be smooth or, more precisely, his surroundings to be smoothed, so that if he himself is not stable, at least his environnt or his friends can help him regain stability," Ragur said.
"At first, we wanted to let him live in isolation, but that would backfire, and he would start resenting the world. So now I ca to ask for your help," Ragur said.
"But aren't tainted ones uncontrollable, no matter how strong their willpower is?" Jimmy asked suddenly.
"It's true, but Dio is different. He has two cores, so even if one is tainted, it only brings slight anger or emotion managent issues to him," Ragur replied.
Mark, who had been silent, asked, "How does having two cores make a difference?"
Ragur explained, "Dio's second core acts as a stabilizer. It mitigates the worst effects of the taint, allowing him to retain so level of control over his emotions and powers. However, this is not foolproof. The artifact he's been given helps to restrain the Taint Aura, but he needs a supportive environnt to truly thrive."
Sophia added, "So, we need to be his stabilizing force. By being there for him and understanding his struggles, we can help him manage his powers better."
Jake nodded, feeling the weight of the responsibility. "We won't let him down. We'll create the stable environnt he needs and stand by him through everything."
Ragur looked at each of them. "I trust you all to handle this. Rember, it's not just about fighting alongside him but also about understanding and supporting him emotionally. His journey will be tough, but with friends like you, he has a real chance."
Tista, who had remained thoughtful, spoke up. "We'll make sure he knows he's not alone. We'll help him find his place and control his powers."
Good, thats all I wanted to say," Ragur said as he stood up and then said, "I will first let him co here and live for one week, and then he will be allowed to resu his classes." Your next read is at My Virtual Library Empire
Saying so, Ragur left.
As he left, Jake looked at everyone and asked, "What do you all think about this?"
"To beco tainted, one has to be fed with a vast amount of resentnt, and such huge resentnt either cos from torture or injustice," Mark said grimly.
Jake nodded, his face calm but not his emotions, which were raging like a tsunami, ready to drown everyone.
"Dio is our good friend; I feel ashad; I didn't care about him by the excuse of his family's internal problems." Jake closed his eyes and sighed.
"We all ignore it," Jimmy shook his head and said.
"Then we will have to work together to make sure he will not be left alone once again," Emily said, clenching her hands.
Thinking of the boy who always used to smile and joke now becoming tainted, he couldn't even imagine how much resentnt he has suffered from.
"Don't worry, we will avenge him," Jake said, patting Emily's shoulder.
"Luna, get all the information on Dio and his family; his family na was Francis; search about them," Jake instructed. Luna nodded and left.
"Granvis Clan, yes. Now that I rember where I heard it, I heard so students
about them about so major incidents related to them," Jimmy said.
"What incident?" Jake and others asked.
"I don't know, I was just passing by at that ti," Jimmy scratched his head and said.
"It's okay; Luna will find out about it anyway," Jake said.
Jake will then help them integrate with the cores and have them rge it successfully with their own vora.
After so ti, everyone opened their eyes with new powers coursing through them.
They all looked eager to try it out, so Jake summoned the portal to the Nyrina world and had them have a fight there with their newfound power.
Everyone excitedly jumped inside the portal and arrived at a barren land.
The land is quite wide, with mountains surrounding it; it looks like a natural circular stadium,
Everyone looked at it and saw its big enough for all of them to fight together.
Tista pairs up with Jimmy, Emily with Ramis, Sophia with Mark, and lina with Jake.
Taking their positions, they all begin to use their new powers, though a little clumsily.
And Ramis and Jake took their parts seriously as they begin to impart them the experience of Nine Heaven King to use it as reference and result was trendous improvent.
They all begin to use it to better extent, with Emily having the moat improvent as she now literally flying using the gravity.
And within 100 ters around her ahe can perfectly control the gravity, making her a now powerful opponent to anyone.
Jake looked at Emily and saw she has an talent for Gravity elent and made up his mind to find a perfect legacy that even grants her a seperate Gravity core.
Not one that just gets integrated into her own core, after all having dual cores and being a single core wielder is different thing.
Dual cores are inherently more powerful.then any other core , but the problem is findings core that can act as second core is really difficult, one in hundred legacy cores can act as second core and allow its wielder to beco dual core awakened.
