Next morning I again went to Marylin's place so that we could continue our lessons; yesterday she taught about mana and all that stuff, but today she is going to teach about elents,
There are four main types of elents for mages to use:
Fire
Water
Earth
Wind
Light
Each of those elents has a higher version of itself; mages capable of using those are referred to as "advanced mages." There are several types of elental advancents.
"Ruu, tell , which are the basic elents?" Marylin asked as she adjusted her glasses: "Today, for so reason, she wore glasses; she told that gives her a little more of a teacher vibe."
"Fire, water, earth, and wind—these are the basic elents," I answered, and already I can predict her next question,
"That's all?" Instead, she asked , anticipating that I would give her the full answer.
I won't tell her about light since it's not yet discovered. The hero is going to be the one to discover that light can also be manipulated, so it's not good if I tell her about it.
"There are also so higher versions of these elents, like ice, magma, gravity, lightning, etc.; those are called advancents, and no normal mage can use advanced elents." I said cynically,
Upon hearing my answer, Marylin nodded to herself like she liked my answer, "That's right, now look carefully." Marylin said as she slowly twirled her index finger in the air and indicated to to look behind my back with her eyes,
"?" I turned my head in the direction where Marylin was looking, and there were so bookshelves on the wall with so complicated-looking books,
Cluck
Soon, a book from a nearby shelf started floating in the midst of the air like a weightless feather. Slowly, the book flew in our direction.
"That's gravitational magic, right?" "So you're an Earth elental mage." I said as I saw Marylin's hand reaching towards the floating book.
"to think she was an Earth elental," in the ga her attributes were never ntioned, so I didn't know,
Gravitational magic is the advanced form of Earth magic; only a person who is an Earth elental mage can manipulate gravity.
"Yep, surprised?" Marylin asked. To her, it seed like my reaction was normal.
"Yeah, a little bit." I was a little surprised since it's not common for a human to have an earth elent manifestation.
A majority of Earth elental mages are Dwarves; it runs in their bloodline since they have a special connection with land; next to them would be the Elves; humans have very little possibility of manifesting the Earth elent.
"Now look carefully." Marylin said as she gently placed the book on the nearby side table. She stood up from her place and then,
Zooop
"How's that? "You must have never imagined this, right?" Marylin asked as she watched from above, likely enjoying herself.
"The hell." I was in a daze; I had never dreamt of this happening, and I darted off my seat because of the surprise.
"That's not the response I expected," Marylin looked down at from above. She had a big smile plastered all over her face followed by a smug look.
Right now, she is in the middle of the air, floating like so kind of bubble. Tiny, windy tornadoes were around her, making it easier for her to balance herself in the air.
The ceiling is not so high; she is like six feet above the ground.
"So Marylin, are you a dual elental, or is there more to it?" I asked a little early.
She first showed that she can control rare Earth elents, and then she imdiately showed that she can also control wind attributes, telling that she can control multiple elents, and THAT'S A BIG THING.
"Nope,that's all. "I am a dual-elental mage who can control earth and wind, and one advancent that is gravity," Marylin said as she slowly descended back to her original place; not a single thing in the room was disturbed in this whole event.
Normally, using wind attributes can get ssy since it involves the wind mana in your surrounding atmosphere.
"Now, get back to your place; there's sothing I want you to show ," Marylin said.
'What does she want to show her?" I thought as I sat back on my seat,
"Ren, what is your elental manifestation?" Marylin asked ,
"It's inferno,fire." I said, "I am a single fire elental mage with no advancents and a large mana pool, and after seeing Marylin do all that stuff, it's kind of depressing."
"Form a fist-sized fire ball." Marylin said,
"Huh?" I was a little baffled,
"From a fireball, now." Marylin said in a more authoritative tone, like almost ordering to do what she said, but who's going to tell her that I haven't used a single speck of magic since coming to this world, so it's hard for if she just asks to use a spell out of the blue?
"Oh, okay." I agreed since I have to do it now or later anyways and it's better to have Marylin here as an invigilator,
Fuu
I took a deep breath and closed my eyes, focusing on the place where my sternum is, into my mana core. I slowly led my mana from the core to adjacent mana veins; these are special veins that distribute mana from the core to all over the body, helping to circulate the mana throughout the body.
The mana leisurely flowed towards my clavicle, then down to the hurus and to my wrist, giving slight goosebumps.
Soon, Mana reached for the palm and waited for further instructions.
I pictured the desired shape and size of a fireball in my mind then.
Fushhh
"Done," I said as I opened my eyes and looked at my palm, where a fist-sized fire ball was blazing brilliantly,
