Shingi returned to the Guild and was inford that Quick Thunder and his Guild mbers left a ssage to et them in the local tavern.
He headed that way right away, as he wanted to end that discussion as soon as possible.
On the way there, he noticed that more people looking towards him, probably cause he was back to his usual outfit. Even among the Blessed Ones, it was unique and made it easy for others to know who he was.
In the past, he didn't examine it thinking it was just simple pieces of clothes, but in the end, he was wrong. There were so designs on it, but nothing like the usual Enchantnts or Runes he was familiar with. They seed more there for their design than actually give a benefit, but Shingi had found out recently not to be true.
Actually, he found it by mistake as he tried to focus on casting LIGHT FORM, and instead of using so of his mana on his body, he used it on his clothes, on one of the lines of its designs. When he did that, he noticed for a split second the line turning yellow, sa as his body at when in LIGHT FORM. He hadn't noticed sothing like that in the past, as his clothes were part of his LIGHT FORM, but this ti it didn't seem like it changed form, just color.
He had tested with different Elents and found out that depending on the Elent he used, the part of the design he used the Elent at would change at the corresponding color.
It seed that the design was in three parts, and each part could have a different color of an Elent. So there was one part at each arm and one at the back.
When he had one of those parts filled with a single Elent, he benefited depending on the Elent and the part of the design.
If he had one of the arm designs enabled, his control of the Elent used on them was half the tis greater than without it, unless he had both at the sa Elent where he got boosted to three tis his normal.
If he used it in the back design, if the Elent was one he had in his Mana Pool, it increased the ti the used one got replenished as also the one used was getting an extra boost making it at most half ti more effective.
He had found out that he could even use his Spirit Elent with it, and actually, he currently had one of the arm designs with that Elent. The other arm was Air, while the design at the back was Fire Elent.
Those three were the ones he had to train the most, and fire he had the greatest progress with just had to grind it a bit in more action. As for Spirit Elent, he had improved a little, but the progress was snail-like. Maybe he had to cure his Minor Spirit Madness, hoping it would help him even a bit, but it was too early.
He soon reached the tavern and noticed that Pan was still in town. She was in a corner having tea, while a guy surrounded by vines was just next to her. Nobody seed to mind as they had gotten used to her, and that guy was just an unlucky newbie who didn't know better.
Shingi had morized how her nature mana looked through his MANA SENSE, so he easily knew that it was her. Of course, the mana vines were also a big hint.
He gave her a nod and waved at her, but she didn't give any response, even if it was clear that she saw that.
But Shingi didn't expect any response and went to speak with the one in charge of the private rooms, as he couldn't see Quick Thunder and his mbers in here.
He found the man quickly.
"Excuse . I" [Shingi]
"Oh, Mister Shingi. Always a pleasure seeing you. You are here to et those new adventurers, aren't you? Follow . They are expecting you." [Man in charge]
Shingi followed him to one of the private rooms. He noticed that this establishnt had so improvents, like enchantnts in the wall that made so rooms silent proofone benefit of his shop making the town a place for Blessed Ones to spend coins to.
He entered one of those rooms and noticed that inside, only two people were waiting for him; Quick Thunder and White Biscuit.
His guide left, but not before getting an order for food or drink from Shingi.
"You are finally here. I thought it would take you more ti to take the order of that crazy man. But I guess he probably had thought what he wanted a long ti ago." [Quick Thunder]
"Master, it isn't nice to call people who aren't here nas like that." [White Biscuit]
Quick Thunder just chuckled once to his young recruit and turned his attention back to Shingi.
"So I was told you were planning to speak with my young recruit here even before I ntioned him. Isn't that fate at its finest? Is his talent that clear to you?" [Quick Thunder]
Shingi didn't know if that guy was a genius or sothing, but it seed so from what Quick Thunder was saying. The real reason he wanted to speak with him wasn't that he could be powerful, but for who he could be.
"You told your Blessed Na is White Biscuit. Correct?" [Shingi]
He nodded, which, fortunately, Shingi could detect with his Mana Sense. His aura was a little less tense than that of his students before they evolved their class. So he could tell that he was level 55 or close to it.
"Why did you choose this na? As far as I was told, you get to choose yourselves how to be called." [Shingi]
Shingi could feel the tension in him as he didn't know why he was asked those questions. Especially after learning who Shingi was.
"I used to have a brother. We didn't hang around much, but he brought so vanilla biscuits each ti he visited . They are white and thought it would be cooler to use that than vanilla." [White Biscuit]
Shingi wanted to smile, but he kept a straight face.
"And what was the na of your brother?" [Shingi]
White Biscuit swallowed so of his salivae as he looked to be nervous about what he would say next.
"It was Aanum, sir." [White Biscuit]
Shingi knew it the mont he heard his voice. It seed so familiar, and then when he heard the na, he knew it. This was his real blood-brother from out of Enerias Tower.
The reason he wanted to speak with him wasn't to catch up, but maybe he would learn what happened to his body. He learned that it was found by Little Pheonix sohow, but not what happened to it after that.
He had asked Mizuneko to look over it in the past, but he was too busy with other things.
"Wait you are his little brother? The little brother of Master Aanum? THE Master Aanum? Why did you never ntion that?" [Quick Thunder]
At first, it surprised Shingi that Quick Thunder didn't know who White Biscuit really was, but then he rembered that his brother never liked to use Aanum's na to get things.
It wasn't like he considered it beneath him to get things that way, but he preferred to earn things and not just have soone give them to him.
"I have a ssage from your brother." [Shingi]
White Biscuit left a gasp as Shingi could sense that his eyes were focused on him.
"A ssage? But how can this be? He had been dead for a long ti. You couldn't have possibly t him, or you would be too young when you did." [White Biscuit]
"He isn't dead, but he also is. He has left his will behind to help this world, and since you are part of it, to help you. In the case I ever got to et you, he told to tell you one thing. 'Don't forget the milk out.'" [Shingi]
Slowly, Shingi could hear White Biscuit tearing up and even his nose running.
It confused Quick Thunder as he didn't know what Shingi said was supposed to an.
It was just sothing that Aanum kept saying to his brother when he visited him because he always let the milk outside the fridge after using it.
White Biscuit was too emotional after hearing this phrase after that long, and even if they weren't too close as brothers, he was always proud of his brother.
Their parents had pretty much forgotten that they had a second son, and even when the body was found, they didn't even throw a tear.
But White Biscuit was sad that day, as he had lost any chance of becoming closer to his brother. He always regretted that he couldn't even play his favorite ga with him.
And so, after fulfilling of getting a job that his parents would be fine with, he started his way, making a na at the ga his brother was among the bests at.
