"uh Lin I sense or uh see these tiny red specks?" said Qian.
" Finally! here I though we would have to go on a few more trips" exclaimed Lin.
"And Qian those "tiny red specks" are raw fire elemental essence, unrefined by any magus or beast." said Lin.
"How many of these red specks do you see Qian?" asked Lin.
"I see hundreds?, no thousands? of these specks" hesitantly said Qian.
"Thats really good, that means you have a exceptional affinity for fire" said Lin.
'However since he only saw thousands while Linley saw tens of thousands that means his talent is weaker than Linley's, but then again Linley is the MC and a dragon-blood warrior' Lin though.
"Thats good right?!"asked Qian clearly excited.
"Yes, thats really good and it means you have a bright future if you practice fire style magic" said Lin.
"YES!" cheered Qian
"Now to train as a warrior you need to practice with a weapon of your choosing and learn how to wield it special ways, as well as converting elemental essence into battle qi, now remember battle-qi also strengthens your body and only gets harder to do so as you age, so do not slack off in your warrior training!" warned Lin.
"Alright" replied Qian.
"I however cannot teach you magic spells due to the fact that I'm a magic beast and simply use raw elemental essence stored into my core rather than refined elemental essence. I can give you advice depending on how you form the spell but thats all I can do for you" said Lin.
"Then how am i supposed to train as a magus?" asked Qian.
"simple just join a magic institute, like the Ernst institute they'll teach you spells and how to most effectively utilize them." replied Lin.
"But aren't magical institutes extremely expensive?, not to mention Im a orphan now i don't even have any money at all" Qian said in a bitter tone.
"Thats not a problem" said Lin as he had the wind carry a bag over to him and Qian.
"Whats in the bag?" asked Qian.
"Open it and you shall see the answers to your current problem" teased Lin.
With that Qian opened the bag and was almost blinded by the amount of gold he saw.
"h...h...h..How did you get this much gold!?" said a very alarmed Qian.
"I looted the bandits of course, I figured that it would be useful considering the fact that humans use these a-lot and, you my boy, are a human" stated Lin.
"uh alright, with this much money I could definitely go to a magic institute, but why are you helping me so much?" asked Qian.
"Call it a investment, I was going to use you for amusement for a while and then discard you later, but your will to survive and grow strong has interested me" said Lin.
'That and your a pawn in my plan to ensure that Linley does not turn against me for whatever reason in my plan to become a being with enough power to create and wipe out universes, but you don't need to know that' internally monologued Lin.
"alright, uh thank you I'll definitely pay you back no matter what it takes" declared Qian.
"No need to worry about it, its not like I was going to use the money anyway" said Lin.
'Except I technically already had, and you will pay me back just not in the way you ever though of MWAHAHAHAH" internally laughed Lin.
