Darius hadn't failed to notice that his first batch of students all had above average, especially Anthony. He guessed it had to do with their chances of becoming his apprentice and how much effort he would have to put into grooming them.
Still, with 65 Luck he had even more than Darla Brown, the forr vice guildmaster of Andrato's Thieves Guild. It was clear that Anthony would have gone places even without Darius' guidance.
However, now that his Luck had brought him here, Darius would make sure to give this tiger wings.
Darius then focused on the five and asked. "Answer these three questions for . First, why do you want to be a mage? Secondly, what would you do if you were to beco a Grandmaster mage? Thirdly, which elent do you consider to be the most powerful in Faust?"
All five were surprised by these questions and shared uncertain looks, but before they had ti to make heads or tails of them, Darius simply flicked a finger at Ash. "You go first and then continue from left to right."
Ash paused to think about his answers for a bit before answering. "Well, I grew up watching how powerful and influential my father is, and I wish to succeed him, making him proud."
"Erm, I would have eventually inherited my father's position back in and Listo to look after the territory, so if I were to beco a Grandmaster mage, I would be using my skills and powers to ensure that law and order would be kept."
"The most powerful elent? I think it should be the Lightning elent. It can shock people and create thunderstorms."
Darius rubbed his chin with interest and gazed at Reina, who was next. The lass smiled as she answered in a sweet voice.
"I want to be a mage because it'll increase my status, allowing to decide my own future, instead of being controlled by my family."
"If I beca a Grandmaster, I would marry a handso prince and explore the world together with him!"
"Hm, the strongest elent to would be the Spirit elent. Why throw fancy spells when you can just turn your enemy into an idiot?"
Darius chuckled and focused on the lanky Jonathan.
"I want to be a mage to acquire power, enough power so that I can do whatever I want and no one can stop !"
"If I beca Grandmaster, I would establish my own power and use my strength to grow it! Then I would rule as far as the eye can see and my power can reach!"
"The strongest elent will always be the Fire elent! No matter what, anything and everything in this world exist as fuel to be burned to ashes by fla!"
Darius' eyes flashed as he listened to the young child's grand ambition. He didn't mind them and it had allowed him to an interesting thing about him.
Darius then focused on the simple-looking Jas.
"I want to beco a mage because it seems interesting."
"If I beca a Grandmaster, I would protect Andrato for as long as I live, and also work with you, Master, to pay you back for giving this chance."
"The most powerful elent? Darkness, I guess. Darkness devours everything, light, power, life… I believe that at the end of the world there lies eternal darkness."
Darius was impressed by Jas. The boy was the most simple looking and had a slightly weird mannerism, but he seed to be the most mature and insightful so far.
Darius then focused on his most talented apprentice-in-training, Anthony.
"I wish to beco a mage to understand the truth of this world, why we were created, how the elents ca into existence, how they function, and how to manipulate them beyond conventional ans."
"If I beca a Grandmaster, I would simply focus on protecting what is mine, and spend the rest of ti researching deeper into the truth of the world and observe everything else."
"The strongest elent? Space and Ti. Although the two are often treated separately, I believe they exist on the sa wavelength."
Once all five students had stated their opinions, Darius sifted through their answers and computed them with the wealth of knowledge he had acquired for himself before coming up with a suitable plan.
He then took out five Awakening Scrolls and let them float into the laps of the five lucky children with his Telekinesis. Before they could use them, Darius spoke.
"I've made these Awakening Scrolls for you. Unlike the ones you might know, these ones will bless you with an almost perfect talent for magic as well as the ability to start with 5 elents of your choosing, making them your true affinities."
"Mind you, this will not affect the number of new elents you will awaken after climbing a stage. Before you use these scrolls, I will tell you my conclusion based on your answers."
Darius started from left to right, pointing at Ash. "You will awaken the following elents, Gravity, Water, Earth, Life, and Lightning. Your main elent will be Lightning while your secondary will be Earth."
"Your personality leans towards protecting the territory you are in charge of and you possess the heart of a leader. Lightning to pass judgnt on your enemies and Earth to form a bastion of defense for your lands."
He then pointed to Reina. "You will awaken Water, Light, Wind, Wood, and Spirit. Your main elent will be Spirit and your secondary Wind."
"Your personality leans towards independence and whimsical fantasy, your heart being that of an explorer and adventurer. Spirit to control the hidden side of the world around you and Wind to allow you to float through the world freely like a butterfly."
Darius gazed at Jonathan. "You will awaken Death, Gravity, tal, Explosion, and Fire. Your main elent will be Fire and your secondary Death."
"After all, your personality leans towards absolute control and a desire for power. You have the heart of a conqueror, so your main tool will be Fire to raze down the establishnts of your enemies and Death to build your own loyal army."
Darius then moved to Jas. "You will awaken Poison, Psychic, Ice, Sound, and Dark. Your primary elent will be the Dark and your secondary Sound."
"Your personality strikes as calm and eccentric, hard to grasp and hard to unravel. Maintaining an air of mystery is key, especially since your looks are enough to make you inconspicuous."
"Being overt and noticeable is not your path, you're much better suited to remain in the shadow, invisible, intangible, and silent."
Darius then focused on Anthony, his smile widening when looking at the lad.
