Chapter 43 - New Power

  "A person have two mana categories. In the Primary Category, the user utilize up to 100% efficy of the mana category they possess. In the Sedary Category, the user utilize up to 50% efficy," Kinue expio us.

  Now I uand rofessor Adrih. I might have used the Transmitter category to make my element flow through my arm, but that doesn't mean I'm fully a Transmitter user.

  "Is this Primary or Sedary?" I asked, creating a ball of light with one hand and shooting a lightning bolt at the ceiling with the other.

  "WHAT!?" Kinue excimed, stepping ba shock. "EMITTER!? That's a dangerous bination with your element."

  Professor Adrihna g me before returning to her book. "Iing..." murmured the High Elf.

  "And me?" Chloe asked.

  "If you 't cover your body with your element, then you don't possess Transmitter as your sedary category. Your water ball was created directly from the atmosphere, which would make you an Invoker, but Lady Adrihna agreed with you about being aer," Kinue said, looking at Chloe.

  "Oh, that makes sense! I also shoot water from my hands," Chloe said, pointing her hand and spraying water on the wall.

  Kinue jumped and adjusted her view. "These kids! They already know how to use their two categories! It's rare for someoo have two categories and even rarer for someoheir age to know how to use them," Kinue said, looking at us.

  Professor Adrihna closed her book. "They are from a special family; it's no wohey are high he magical blood that runs through their veins is bathed in talent and possibilities. The boy's father was an excelleer of the Lightning element, and the girl's father was a great Invoker of the Earth element. One could summon a troop of stone golems, and the other could shoot a lightning bolt capable of destroying troops. It's no wohese childrealented. I myself initiated their fathers into magid saw firsthand the potential of those brats," she said, looking at us.

  My professor created a ball of yellow light with her hands. "I am a user of the Light Element. My primary category is Emitter, and the sedary is Invoker. I will expin to you about the elements of nature," she said, and the ball of light turned into small birds that flew in all dires and then disappeared.

  "Will I be able to make these birds out of water since I'm an Invoker?" Chloe asked excitedly.

  "You will... and if you are powerful and dedicated to magic, you will be able to do eveer things to help you in battle, even with ice," the professor replied.

  I was fasated by those light birds, but watg them fly reminded me of a certain person... or bird.

  Cyl! She make her body catch fire and also shoot fire... so she's a Transmitter and aer? But she also has that power that heals wounds... is that a nature element?

  "There are the elements of nature that we use through our mana," the professan to expin. "There are os, which are: Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind. These are the elements that any mage might be born with. There are also the unos, which are rarer and more desired by mages: Lightning, Pnt, and Light."

  "My element is rare?" I asked.

  "Very rare, there are hardly any people with Thunder. Your father had this element, and your mother possesses the Pnt element, making you highly likely to be born with one of these two elements," Adrihna expined.

  Now I uand a bit more...

  "Chloe fuse the elements to create ice. How is the ice element cssified?" I asked, and Chloe looked ied as well.

  "Her mother is aer with two elements, Air and Water. Little Chloe was born with her father's and mother's Mana Categories. She is aer and Invoker who ied her mother's elements and the ability to create ice. There are fused elements such as Ice, Magma, and Mud, but not everyone use them even if they have the base elements that gee them. There are fused elements, but there also be powerful binations of elements. For example, bining Air and Fire could create a firestorm. The greater the bination, the more destructive the power, making it very dangerous and votile. You should not bine elements without excellent trol, or you could cause an act where you might lose parts of your body in an explosion," the professor expined.

  Chloe and I looked at each other.

  "What if we bined water, air, and thunder? Could we create a... storm cloud?" Chloe asked shyly.

  "Don't tell me you've already tried that?" Kinue asked, shocked.

  The elf sighed. "It's dangerous to py with element binations if you don't have the practice, and it's even more dangerous to bine elements with mana from two different people. You shouldn't try that again anytime soon, or you could get hurt," the elf said, looking at us.

  So it really was dangerous? Damn... that owerful.

  "But enough of that. I'm here to extract every drop of magical potential from you, so this is very useful information for me. The bination only worked because you are retives, so your mana is simir. If you tried it with someone else, it would cause a disaster," the professor said.

  The elf fiddled with her bracelet, and two stones appeared in her hand. "These are elemental stohey are used by teachers, although my stones are purer than most. These stones identify a person's nature element when mana is poured into them. I will check your elements."

  Chloe found those words strange. "But why check? We already know our elements."

  "Not every student has already awakeheir Gem and use their nature element, so we o test with the stone. Even though you have demonstrated your element, I want to see if you have any dormant elements. Since you are prodigies in magic, I want to check if there might be another," she said.

  The professor handed me a bck stone.

  "Why are you giving him a stone, Lady Adrihna? He has an Uno and 't have another," Kinue asked.

  "I just want to be sure... of something."

  Chloe took the stone in her hand, and a light was emitted whearted eling her mana into the stohe light emitted was a light blue and ged to white before fading, and the stouro bck.

  "Excellent, your elements are indeed Water and Air," the professor said.

  Seeing that, I tried to repeat the process, imitating Chloe. I trated all my mana, and as soon as I did...

  "It's floating! My stone..." I said, surprised.

  "The stone is reag to eleagism? That's possible... after all, you possess Thunder, and this stone is an excellent ductor of mana. ge your way of eling and trate your mana purely," she corrected me.

  I stopped eling my element, realizing I had dohe process wrong.

  That makes sense; if it were about p our element into the sto wouldn't serve the purpose of identifying our element.

  The stoopped floating and fell into my hand. I eled my mana into it, and it gradually started to glow a dark blue.

  “See, he has Thunder…” Kinue said.

  The stone began to tremble, and then the dark blue ged to a brilliant white before fading and turning dark again.

  “HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE!?” Kinue shouted in surprise.

  The professhed. “gratutions, my student. You also possess the Wind Element.”
