Chereads / The Atlantean Compensator / Chapter 71 - These Times of Peace

Chapter 71 - These Times of Peace

Alkeyder realised it was time.

"Oh...

It's already 5pm, I guess we'll gonna continue the story on the next history class."

Herald. "Agh shit, I hate cliffhangers!!"

Ayla. "Yeah It was such an interesting story..."

Alkeyder. "It's alright, this will actually be a good time for you all...To reflect on something.

Can anyone guess what is it?"

Oumad. "Yes, The chapter was called The New Atlantis...

And I don't see how this story is linked with that!"

Alkeyder. "Great remark, well that is what all of you should think about.

I'll be hearing your thoughts on the next session."

Later on that day, an interesting conversation between the masters took place..

Alkeyder, looking shocked.

"What??

He went in there with Elara??!!"

Heracles. "As you heard, clearly you were busy doing something else."

*Alkeyder and Aciya look at each other*

Heracles. "It's okey, nothing dangereous happened.

I was there with the Grand Master."

Aciya. "What about Elara???"

Heracles. "She was the only one to suffer, The Grandmaster's powers did not work on Herald..."

Alkeyder. "Unbelievable! I mean...That is great.

Another sign that he's the chosen one."

Heracles. "...The master told me that he still has a very long way to go until he claims that title rightfully."

Aciya looks confused. "..What does he mean by that?"

Heracles. "Herald failed to protect Elara and showed signs of mental weakness and unclarity.

As long as he isn't the opposite of those things, he can not use his powers at a maximum potential.

That's what he said."

Alkeyder. "I see... Well it's a long process nonetheless.

He still hasn't faced much adversity in order to achieve such levels, anyways thankfully you were there. The Grandmaster tends to lose consciousness in many nights, who knows what would've happened."

Heracles. "Yeah I know.

Anyways, what's the plan for now on, for each of them."

Alkeyder. "For Beazly, you know better what to do with him, but make sure to teach him how to control his powers more, teach him some of your special technics as well.

He's the strongest of them all in terms of physicality, it is crucial for later times.

As for Joshou, It is kind of ambigious what else we can teach him. his powers are very useful for spying and sneaking but they're relatively weak, he is strong compared to normal humans but that isn't enough. I might try to awaken his Qarin..."

Heracles. "I think it is better if you don't, he looks to me like someone who would do great as a weapon user... Let's say a sword for example."

Alkeyder takes a moment to think.

"...Right! Why not ask Galahad to train him?"

Heracles. "Good idea."

Alkeyder. "As for Oumad and Herald, they're mainly my responsibility, both of them are specialists in Elbassar and Elwojoud. Doors who access their users to the unseen world.

Both can learn Alchemy, and even control the 4 elements.

I've already seen Oumad once sitting near some plants we have here and he'd talk to them, if you ever noticed. Those grew faster and bigger than some other plants!"

Aciya. "What about Herald?"

Heracles. "He is on his way to control his Qarin.

You should've told me earlier about it, as you already know that i take pride in my punches."

Alkeyder smiles. "...You ended up breaking his arms seconds later, knock it off!

Well as Heracles said, he started looking into the other world. Right now, he can only do so while activating his third eye ability, and his view is very blurry but still, Ether allowed himself to be seen in front of him and that is a good sign.

With more training from all of us three, he can achieve multiple feats.

At the moment i don't know which element he can control, I tried summoning his Qarin and talk to him, but i failed."

Aciya. "You failed? The Great Alkeyder failed at doing such thing??"

Alkeyder. "Don't forget, his case is different from any other.

Anyways, as for Sebastin it seems like he already masters his powers.

Don't see much to improve them, but his character is a bit careless and easy going...

I think it's your job Aciya."

Aciya. "Alright, leave it to me.. I already have a son and mom kind of relation with him.

He's a good boy."

Heracles. "What about Elara? I find a hard time teaching her anything.

I thought Aciya would be a better fighting master for her."

Aciya. "I've given up on that long ago, only when it's super necessary that I will, and only versus enemies!"

Heracles. "But you two have very similar powers!!"

Aciya. "I refuse, I do not love it and it negates my powers."

Alkeyder. "Hmmmm..Honey, It isn't necessary that you two will engage in combat in order to teach her.

You can assist her through ur instructions, and she would certainly listen to you.

You can also clear off her troubled self, this will help elemniating the chances of a possible breakdown or soul invasion. You don't want that to happen right?"

Aciya. "...Certainly not."

Alkeyder. "She already masters her powers better than the rest, teach her one or two of your invincible technics. That would do for the moment."

Aciya. "Alright...You convinced me as always."

Alkeyder. "Great."

Heracles. "Don't tell me you've forgot about Ayla?"

Aciya looked angry towards Heracles. "How dare you?"

Alkeyder. "Ofcourse we haven't, we talk about her more than the rest so we already drew her path.

She is better not as a fighter but as a protector, she has tremendeous healing abilities, can use telepathy and just like Aciya, she has the power of Love.

She can also access the other world, but I don't want her exposed to that...

It's too dangereous on her."

Heracles. "...I am afraid that's a decision you took based on some of your feelings.

Feelings that i understand nonetheless.

Anyways, seems perfect to me.."

Alkeyder. "Alright..

Let's make the best out of what is left in these times of peace..."
