My routine continued for several days then weeks and then months came, in all I was focused for over sixty days. A long period of time for someone my age to do basically the same things every day, even though I have a very mature mind I was starting to go crazy, I was very little, but to spend so much time in a dark room I think I even got a little whiter tone because of lack of sun.
Aside from Wulfgar, Hilda and the times I received guidance from Professor Balder, I kept myself in isolation because I simply didn't have time to socialize or feel like doing any other activity. Hilda even made the suggestion that I do some quests or go into a dungeon to kill some monsters, but I turned it down.
My only justification and explanation for Hilda's concerns that make my heart warm, was that in my current situation my best way to have an increase in my combat power and improve my mastery of my elements.
To try to reach the final stage of the gray core is a very distant goal is trying to improve my equipment is also not so feasible, since using a level three equipment is already my limit, a level four equipment is very demanding on my body my aura it's elemental energy would be drained by tier four armor and weapons to the point that my combat uptime could decrease by a third and this would increase my combat power very little.
So, the only way to increase my power is to improve my use of my element and aura, but the latter will have to wait for later. With Balder's help I made great progress in all three of my elements, I didn't focus on just one of my elements because my mental health would have deteriorated faster.
I also thought that progressing in a balanced way between my elements would be very constructive, as my lightning element is a stable fusion of the fire and wind element, I believe training both will help me with mastery of the lightning element and improving on it will also help. with the elements I was born with.
I think a well-balanced relationship between my elements will help me to progress my elemental control in a more complete way. Although the characteristics of the elements of the three sources are quite different, my understanding and practice of one element has already helped my studies in the other element during this training.
What worries me most now is not continuing my training but finding out where the mistress ended up, she has completely disappeared. Not a message to either me or the institute even Balder is worried about her now.
It seems like it's not very normal for her to disappear like this for so long, is she really going to solve some problems like she said in the note? If she was just going to try to change the elemental fairy she would probably have returned by now, it shouldn't be so difficult to find someone interested in such a valuable elemental fairy, even if the mistress wants to change, she shouldn't be that complicated.
Unless the fairy's possession caused her a lot of trouble, but I doubt that the mistress is too smart and has too much experience in this kind of situation to get screwed over by someone greedy.
I try to avoid that kind of thinking because it's useless for me to worry about her since I can't do anything right now, only if I get stronger, I'll have a better chance of surviving the shit that's in front of me. My first big challenge will be to survive the war that I will have to participate I wonder what comes after it because I doubt that the biggest challenge of my life would be anytime soon.
It's so refreshing to think about the shit that can overcome an entire war when I'm not strong enough to protect myself during it.
I've made good progress in my study and control over level one elemental sources, the wind element source is the one I have the most control since it's the one I spent the most time training. I managed to replicate its form with my elemental energy from the wind source, I'm still a long way off from fully mastering this change, but I can already use it in combat with some difficulty.
But that's not my biggest gain in learning this new form for my wind element energy, the main reason my progress with controlling this new form in such a short time was when I went through the first exercises in the booklet. When I completed the cubic form with the energy of the elemental source, I did absorb my elemental energy back but ended up not undoing its form when it entered my core.
The moment she came in I thought I was screwed because my core started to pulsate, the first thing that went through my head when I felt the pain in my body was that I was screwed up a lot, I just injured my core this type of injury is very rare and extremely serious and difficult to treat, she could mean the end of my progress until i can cure her which is extremely expensive, all my money will be spent now.
When I already saw all my money turn to dust in front of me the pain in my chest became different, my core was not injured but the elemental seed inside it is resonating with the elemental energy that just entered my core. I have no idea how this happened, but I believe that since the new and different energy was mine ultimately my core shouldn't reject it.
During the new state of my elemental seed there was great discomfort after the pain in my chest subsided, I could clearly see where the wind element energy within my elemental seed changed into the new form that I imitated from the elemental source, but the change didn't last a long time my elemental seed soon normalized.
But she wasn't the same as before this strange event, her form didn't change her strength anymore. My elemental energy only became more concentrated and when I tried to use it afterwards it responded much more easily and when I tried to shape the wind element source again it was much easier.
After that I tried doing some stupid things like trying to repeat this event, but when I re-absorbed my elemental energy, it just assimilated normally into my elemental seed. I tried to mold my elemental seed but it proved impossible, I was only able to mold a part of my elemental energy within my core, but the elemental seed is still normal.
I tried and failed to trigger this effect again, but it didn't stop me from trying with my fire elemental energy is lightning.
The fire element source energy was not like the wind element energy, but they had one thing in common both were different from the elemental energies I was used to.
The fire element of the source was like small serpents of concentrated fire, they were grouped in a much more hermetic and circular way. When I focused my energy into this form it was easier to generate a lot of heat and maintain a stable form for my fire element, but to balance it out it was harder to shape it into large shapes and keep the heat contained in a small area.
The heat radiating when I used my elemental energy in this form to cover my sword was much more intense and hotter, but I could no longer keep the heat close to my sword. It was like I was holding pure and uncontrolled fire, it's really hard to control this new form of my fire element.
I was even tempted to cast a good amount of my elemental energy in the form of a fireball imitating a mage, but when I realized that this would destroy everything around me it is probably damaging the room as I share that this room was designed to be used as a combat room.
But when I tested it in a training camp, I realized that this new form has good explosive power, but it's not so good for cutting. When I used my red sword to cut a tree, I didn't produce a clean cut, but I melted that tree that started to catch fire very quickly.
This fire element is quite aggressive, but when I used it with my arrows, I got a very useful new weapon. It was easy to create a ball of elemental energy concentrated inside the arrowhead, very natural as if it were made to do this, when hitting the target, the arrow exploded it into violent flames that destroyed the target and launched flames in several directions.
But this arrow is as common as I thought later and had fired, when I went to retrieve the arrow, I saw that my level two arrow had the tip destroyed and the target fragments I recovered had molten metal stuck like spikes in the hard wood.
I think a custom arrow with more metal concentrated at the tip combined with a lot of elemental energy can have the power to kill a common level three magic beast with just one hit to a major aria of its body. It's a pity that after using this deadly arrow I will be completely revealed and the sound of the explosion should be able to attract everything that is many meters away.
After so many days Calen must have forgotten what happened before and as long as I pretend, I never saw her with Balder she must not act any differently on me or she will throw me out of her shop. It would be really annoying to have to look for another craftsman as good as her to make arrows and bows.
