241 Outing [5]
In a well-lit room were four individuals. The room was spacious, having a kitchen, dining table, and several beds. It also seed to have a sofa surrounding a small table.
Two individuals sat at the dining table, while one sat on one of the sofas, and the last stood over a stove cooking sothing that sent a salivating aroma through the entire room.
Though, describing the place as a room would have probably been considered a little bit o a stretch. After all, the "room" they were in was simply a tent that had the dinsionality within it changed, making the inside bigger than the outside.
No one really understood how it worked other than the few individuals who knew how to make it, essentially holding a monopoly over the entire business. Of course, within the tent, one individual knew to understand how the tent was created.
"I guess the rumors were true." A man with blonde hair and pointy ears looked in a certain direction with his brightly glowing silver eyes. He wasn't looking down at the stove before him, and instead had his gaze locked toward sothing else. Though, not looking at the stove didn't technically an that he couldn't see it.
"What rumors?" The beer-bellied man, Mr. Faldro, asked from the dining table. Before him sat the buff woman with feline ears. Her arms were tightly folded over her chest while her legs were crossed underneath the table. She looked bored, yet, she was clearly quite vigilant of her surroundings.
Aka also sat up to listen to whatever the elf-man was about to say.
"Judgent. He can use multiple elents."
"Well, yeah. We already guessed that." The buff woman shrugged.
"No. I an, he can use all the elents." The elf man closed his eyes calmly while the others widened theirs.
"All?" Aka asked with a clear shudder in his voice.
"Yeah. His mana works a lot differently than hours. It's not just one elent he's absorbing, but it feels like he's absorbing all of them simultaneously. In the sa way, soone with the light elent absorbs mana, but he is not tainted with an elent. It's all combined into so kind of weird, ethereal energy." The elf explained.
"Damn... I really wouldn't stand a chance against that guy. Maybe in my old body..." Aka paused while reliving his old mories.
"You were a scrawny old man. I doubt you would have won against him." Faldro sneered.
"Hey! I was a pristine erald core one step away from breaking through. Its not my fault my body deteriorated so quickly." Aka a sneered.
"To be fair, you will probably reach the ruby-core at your current rate. Just, don't slow down or anything." The woman smirked.
"Don't mock , you damn cat. I will beco the first diamond core in years. Mark my words!"
"Sure you will." Faldro snickered.
While everyone bickered amongst one another, the elf, Alazeed, stared into the distance, through all the tents, and looked directly at Silas, who was absorbing the mana around him.
He hadn't been completely honest with the people around him. After all, he wasn't allowed to tell them certain things. The only thing he could do was hint and let them find out on their own.
Due to his mana eyes, the elf council had taken him in at a very young age; however, it wasn't due to his talent or anything like that.
Anyone with mana eyes and half a brain can tell that mana and toki are the sa thing. It was obvious. He could even see people breaking the mana around them to take only one attribute of the mana into their bodies.
The elf council didn't want any information on how mana actually worked to leave their room, so they did the only thing they knew to do. They brought the kid in, placed him in the middle of the room, scrutinized him, and forced him to sign a contract with Gilea as his witness.
It had been 50 years since that day, and even now, he couldn't understand why the elf council wouldn't tell everyone about their knowledge of mana.
Actually, up until now, he had thought they had been keeping the information to themselves so they remain powerful, but after eting the man they called Judgent, he understood how wrong his theory was.
That day Ga Evergreen walked into that testing room; Alazeed understood what knowledge of mana could do. He understood what kind of power one would have the ability to wield when absorbing mana in its purest essence. Sure, toki users could manipulate it, but despite seeming like he hadn't even mastered his control over Mana, Ga seed so much stronger than them.
Sure, he didn't have the sa abilities as them. He couldn't manipulate his toki to turn invisible or fly, but he sure as hell was close.
Not only did mana course through his body the sa way it did with a beast, but Ga was the closest person he had ever seen to replicate a beast's ability to control the elents around them with just a thought.
'If he learns how to manipulate mana itself, how powerful would he be?' was the question Alazeed asked every ti he saw the boy.
He had seen the power that enchantnts held. They could do everything from enhancing a piece of equipnt to warping ti and space itself. 'Enchantnt runes are created to take from the mana from a source to work. When they are ford, they siphon the mana from the equipnt used to make them. When they are on sothing, they usually need a power source, such as a core or magic crystal, to work in the first place. Another problem with them is that they aren't made to be ford on thin air, too. They are specifically made to be engraved into sothing.' Alazeed thought to himself before thinking back to Silas' spells.
'To create an enchantnt rune on thin air would take soone with a lot of knowledge of runes to make many changes to the runes themselves to allow them to work on thin air. Though, I guess that's why he ca to the academy in the first place.' Alazeed thought before shifting his gaze toward Mr. Faldro.
'And we're going to give him exactly what he needs to surpass every mage alive, and they don't even know it.'
