Aether is a Genius. He wasn't always one though. He had a talent for Human physiology and its related applications.
But the main reason he is qualified to be called a Genius is because he worked hard for that. When he was a child his mother had an accident. She was bedridden for life. The doctor said,' science hasn't developed enough to cure her.'
At that moment, something clicked in his mind and he made up his mind to cure his mother. He chose the path of self-improvement. He worked hard to improve his mental abilities. Reading, learning, analysing, thinking, thought processing, etc. He worked hard on everything.
And soon his hard work manifested blooming his potential.
The result? He can now think 1000times faster and analyse 100times better than a normal person.
At least that's what the public knew.
But in reality, he had gained a superhuman ability of sort. After slow breathing and meditating for a few seconds, he can enter a lucid dream like state where everything was in his control. He can remember anything he has seen or felt, analyse things 100times faster and perhaps do anything he wants. In that state time flowed 1000times faster than outside.
The only flaw, that is if you count it as one, is that he can't stay there for a long time because he hated being alone at a place where only he exists.
Soon he had cured his mother, helped many people and reached the peak of human society.

BACK TO PRESENT
.
"huh?"
"huh?"
"huh?"
Well if you look at 2 extremely talented person with an average one. No, below average person you will normally think of him as someone insignificant. But still, they should at least pay attention as instructors who are going to teach him in the future... probably.
"This is my son Light Eros, he will also be learning along with Corey and Chase," says Stephan as he points at Light with his eyes without turning his head. He turns expressionless as he looks at him.
"Ah sorry, it was rude of me to ignore you, young lad. I will be staying at this house for the next four years," apologizes Theoder in a not so apologizing way.
"It will be a pleasure to have you, instructor Theoder," Light slightly bows and says, "I hope to learn a lot from you."
Theoder then ignores Light and starts asking Chase about his lifestyle. He is smiling and laughing as Chase answers his questions.
Samantha glances at Light for a few seconds before turning back at Corey and again at Light.
This time she looks at Light with a pitiful expression.
"Shall we appraise the children," suggests Stephan.
The instructors nod at his suggestion.
"Okay, boys one by one put your both hands on the three crystals," says Theodor as he excitedly takes out three small football-sized spheres each blue, red and transparent respectively.
He looks very eager as he observes Chase with a piercing gaze.
Chase takes a step back making Theoder chuckle silently.
"First Corey", says Samantha with twice the anticipation that Theoder is showing.
She is concentrating on Corey so hard that if gazes can hurt, her gaze might have already penetrated his body.
"This blue sphere measures your mana potential. Place your hands and channel mana into the sphere," instructs Samantha to Corey. Her eyes are urging him to do it asap.
'Why does she look like a girl receiving a birthday gift and excited to open it?' Thinks Light.
Corey places his hand on the blue sphere and it shines brightly, then a number appears in the sphere.
Blue sphere:500
".."
".."
".."
Silence surrounds the area as the instructors as well as my father is dumbfounded at the result.
'If I remember correctly then father had never checked Corey's Mana potential before.'
Chase and Corey look confused.
"Ah, sorry I was a bit dazed. Didn't think we would get the 7th genius in the same generation," speaks Samantha as she snaps out of her daze," Corey, honestly, I want to be your personal teacher but I don't think I would be enough to bring out your full potential. So... I will be sending a request to the royal family to get them to send the best teacher for you. That way you can get the best primary education you deserve. Until then I will be teaching you everything I know."
Samantha has a serious face while she looks at Corey who is nodding at her.
He looks agitated by the sudden change in her behaviour, though.
"Next is the red sphere. It will measure your Aura potential," Samantha speaks as she gazes at the sphere.
Corey nods and places his hands on the sphere.
Red sphere:4
"Well, it would be asking for too much to have both high Mana and Aura potential. Corey, your Aura potential is below a normal person's, so you can't become an Aura mage even in 100years.", said Samantha with a small smile on her face as she expected something like that.
" Are there people who have potential in both?" Asks Corey curiously.
" There are some people who have a high potential in both Aura and Mana so they can choose to become a Mana mage who also excels in Combat Arts," answers Theoder about people who have both aura and magic potential.
"Next is the transparent sphere, it tells about the attributes you can use as a magic-user," Samantha continues.
It forms seven dots:Blue(water), brown(earth), red(fire), green(wood), white(Life), black (death)and gold(Sun).
".."
".."
".."
Everyone is shocked at the number of affinities with which Corey is compatible.
"All right genius, we are starting training from today, you have 7 affinities present including the gold which was Sun king's affinity...well, Sun King was the founder of our Sun country if you don't know. But don't become arrogant because it takes 15-20 years to master an affinity completely. So you should be careful so as to which path you choose," says Samantha with a smile that looked quite dangerous.
Corey shudders at her smile and takes a few steps back.
"Next is Chase,"says Theoder
