Chapter 22: The Power Of The Elents
“Disciple of Thunder…,” William muttered. ‘A Prestige Class? Is it different from the other job classes? I need to reach Job level 40 on two separate job classes to unlock this job class…’
At first, William was confused, but it only lasted for a brief mont. His confusion was replaced with excitent as the hands that held Stormcaller trembled in excitent.
When Jas heard William mutter the words “Disciple of Thunder”, his heart skipped a beat. This was a secret that was passed down through their family lineage, and only those who held the bloodline of the Ainsworth Family knew of Stormcaller’s importance.
“H-how is it?” Jas asked. His voice was shaking in fear and excitent.
William took a few deep breaths in order to calm himself. He then looked at his grandfather with sparkling eyes as if he found a wonderful toy.
“Those who are able to wield this spear will be able to gain a profession called ‘Disciple of Thunder’,” William answered honestly. “However, I am unable to learn this profession for the ti being.”
“For the ti being?” Mordred inquired. “aning, you can learn it in the future?”
“Yes.” William admitted. “At most, I need two to three years in order to reach the minimum requirents.”
“Only two to three years? That’s good.” Jas clenched his fist as a big grin appeared on his face. “Then, from now on, this spear is yours!”
“Really?!” William gasped. “Thank you, Grandpa!”
“Hahaha!” Jas patted William’s shoulder. “There’s no need to thank . However, there is sothing important that I must tell you. Please, sit down.”
William obeyed and sat on the couch. Jas sat beside him and looked at his grandson with a complicated gaze.
“Let tell you sothing about the power of elents,” Jas said after organizing his thoughts.
“Power of elents?” William asked.
“Yes.” Jas nodded his head. “You can ask questions later. Let finish my explanation first.”
William sat properly and stared at his grandpa with a serious expression. Seeing his grandson’s countenance, Jas wasn’t able to nod his head in approval. He then cleared his throat to begin his explanation.
“Among the power of the elents, the most common one is fire,” Jas explained. “Almost all magicians are able to wield this elent. Even those who didn’t have an affinity to the fire elent can wield it to a certain extent. Of course, there are also magicians who can only use the elent that they have an affinity with.”
“Long story short, the most common elent that a magician can use is fire. The second one is Earth. Those who are able to use the Earth Elent are sought after by many people. Why? Because it allows them to build things.”
Jas paused to allow William to understand his lecture. “Castle walls, bridges, houses, and other structures can be made using the power of the Earth. It is also a very stable Elent that is mostly used for defense. Among all the elents, Earth is the sturdiest of them all.”
“Then we have Wind. This elent is mostly used by the elves. You can even say that every elf was born with an affinity for the Wind Elent. Of course, so of them were also blessed with Life and Light magic, but we will talk about that at a later ti.”
“Wind can be gentle as a breeze and be sharp as a blade. It allows those who wield it the power of flight. Of course, if you reach a certain level of expertise, you will also be able to fly freely in the sky.”
“The next is water. Water is the elent of life. Just like the air we breathe, we need it in order to live. This elent can be as peaceful as a still lake, or as violent as a tsunami. If you et anyone with an affinity to water magic, you’d better treat them kindly.”
“They are the most supportive friends, and the most viscous of enemies. If you can’t befriend them, make sure that you don’t offend them.” Jas chuckled. “Your grandma is a sage that specializes in Water Magic. She’s the most wonderful woman I have t in my life.”
Jas’ lips trembled when he rembered his late wife. William could see the change in his grandpa’s expression, so he held the old man’s hands to give him his support.
“Don’t worry. She’s now in a better place and watching over us,” Jas smiled then continued his explanation. “All the other existing elents in the world, branch out from the four basic elents of Fire, Earth, Wind, and Water.”
“Naturally there are exceptions to this rule which include Space, Ti, Light, and Darkness magic. Ice magic is a branch of water magic. So powers are made from the combination of two or more elents. However, among these, there is one special elent that stands above all and that is… Lightning Magic.”
“A magic that stands above all?” William asked. “Don’t tell …”
Jas smirked. “Lightning magic was said to be the power wielded by heroes. Anyone who was able to learn this magic would be sought out by the powers in the continent and raised with the utmost care. Naturally, there are also factions who hate these so-called heroes and among them is the Demon Race.”
“After all, the first heroes were summoned in order to defeat the Demon Lords who terrorized the land, more than a few thousand years ago. Of course, the most famous of them all was none other than our ancestor, Claude Von Ainsworth.
With Stormcaller in his hand, he called out the Heavenly Lightning to purify the land from the corruption of the Demon Race.”
“Since then, the demons had gone above and beyond to assassinate anyone who wields the lightning elent. So, you little brat, make sure to not use this power lightly. The mont this power was brought to light, will be the sa mont that your life will change forever. Rember this and rember it well!”
“I understand.” William nodded his head. “Grandpa, I will not use this power lightly.”
“As long as you understand then it’s good.” Jas patted the boy’s head. “The ring on your necklace is also a storage ring. You can store our family’s heirloom inside it, but you have to promise that you will keep it safe.”
“I promise, Grandpa,” William patted his chest. “As long as I’m alive, no one will be able to touch our family’s priceless treasure.”
