The old man softly laughed while he rubbed his long goatee, "Then I shall grant you what you truly want. Steel element, right?"
Frigs were surprised that the man was able to find out what he truly wanted, but it doesn't matter to him. He nodded, and the man raised his staff, a bright light shined from the end of the staff. Frigs were surprised and blinded for a few seconds. He asked in his mind, 'Wha-What is this light?'
After closing his eyes for a few moments and feeling that the light might be gone, he slowly opened his eyes and noticed that he was back in the principal's office. Right in front of him, were Jiq and Louis, curiously staring at him, then Jiq asked, "What did you wish for?"
Frigs smiled at him, "I wished for talents, it seems that the old man has granted me the talent but I haven't tested it yet. By the way, who's the old man?"
Jiq crossed his arm and smirked, "That man was a god, his blood was mixed since he was bornt, so he never discriminated anyone from any race. You can say that everybody that met face to face to him got something in return"
Frigs looked at the ground, smiling at the encounter he just had with the old man, "Well then, thank you for today, I and Louis shall excuse myself from this room"
He and Louis got themselves up and began making their way toward the exit of the room, just right before he closed the door, Jiq said to him, "Test the element in the 2 months-long breaks in the village!"
…
3 days later
Once again, the classroom was full of people chatting with each other, but when the teacher, Ms Sophia, entered the room, the sound vanished in an instant. She smiled upon this and then announced with a loud voice, "Once again! This classroom never failed me, everyone passed both tests!"
The people there clapped, and the chattering began, Ms Sophia continuer her words despite the sound inside the room, "Anyway, just like our schedule, we will all be having 2 months break in the village you were assigned at! Feel free to make your way there anytime soon!"
Upon hearing these words, the classroom became noisier, and the students cheered up as she left the room. Frigs and Louis, just like every time, left the room early and started packing up their belongings. They left the school grounds not long after that and began their 5 day's journey.
Needless to say, 5 days later, they arrived in the village, with most of the villagers welcoming them in front of the village. Frigs smiled, 'This would be my house for two months… Snow could be seen everywhere though…'
It was the beginning of winter at that moment, the two boys were given accommodation right after they entered the village. The two of them instantly jumped toward their warm and clean bed, "Hey Louis, goblins have high cold resistance right?"
Louis responded in his muffled voice because his face was inside a pillow at that moment, "ues. Whut u going cho do tho?"
Frigs smirked and responded, "Of course I'm going to practice my magic. By the way, where's the book you told me you have about steel element?"
Louis sighed and lazily got himself up and grabbed the book from his bag. Then he threw it at Frigs. Catching the book like a professional, Frigs, sitting at the edge of his bed, slowly opened the book and began reading it.
"Just like the fire element, the steel elements could be used without the help of much steel being around in the area. The talents and amount of mana needed to cast the spell could be really big because the element worked by forming something solid out of nowhere. Here's the magic tier of the steel element:"
First tier: You can lift up some steel
Second tier: You can now form an object with the help of surrounding steel
Third tier: You can slowly create an object, still need steels but the amount needed would be much less than before
Fourth tier: At this point, you can create a sword with a single dust of steel
Fifth tier: You can create an object without any help of steel around the area
Sixth tier: You can create small complex mechanism inside the object you created
Seventh tier: You can create even more complex mechanism
Eight tier: At this moment, you can create an amount of electricity without even using the lightning element
Ninth tier: You can create a machine that could one-shot any creature
Tenth tier: You can create a machine that will destroy a planet in one shot
"Woah! I didn't expect this to be this good… Wait, there's a small sentence here, 'All of this is just speculation!'"
He went silent and has the urge to throw the book toward the floor, "So you are saying that this is just a 'maybe' thing? What a waste of time!"
Though, he kept his composure and just laid on the bed on his back, with the book still on his hand. A sudden thought came to him out of nowhere, 'What if it was true though? The machine that could destroy the planet in one shot…'
Eventually, curiosity defeated him, 'Should I try this…? Well... it's not like that I have any other things to do at this point, nor do I have any other talents in other elements….'
He got himself up, "Louis…"
He saw Louis that has fallen asleep in front of him. He then smiled and laid himself on the bed once again, 'It seems like Louis are asleep… the journey from the school ground to here really took a toll on us'
Slowly but surely, Frigs rested his eyes and soon, he fell asleep on his bed like a baby. While he was sleeping, flashes of many images appeared on his dream. First, it was steel balls, then dust, then swords, then a small machine and after that a tank, a plane.
In the end, it was a big, giant, airship.
