'I'm home.' Alex said with a bowed head to hide his teary eyes. "You had all of us quite worried you know." the commander said seriously. "What happened sid?" he asked in the same manner. "Yeah your explanation didn't exactly give us a lot of details to work with." the admiral said helplessly. 'I have no problem telling you , but perhaps we should take this conversation over to a spot I'm not so crowded?' Alex suggested while pointing at the creaking bones pressed against him. The commander nodded in agreement "Swim around to the meeting area to debrief." he said before they left Alex.-
It took some careful maneuvering but Alex managed to get unstuck between the bones and into the nearby sea. Climbing up onto dry ground he got thoroughly looked at by the admiral who whistled "Quite a bit bigger than before now that I get a good look at you." he said honestly. Alex shrugged 'It happens' he said dismissively. "Enough about that , Now explain what caused this." the commander said sternly. 'You might want to call the head scholar for this , he will definitely want to hear this.' Alex said honestly.-
"No need , I came as soon as I heard of your return." a small and old wyverian in robes said as he walked up to the meeting area with his cane as support. Alex nodded 'As you are all aware of I can adapt additional elements in addition to more physical traits.' He said and they all nodded. 'This time I had adapted the thunder element and it seemed to happen smoothly unlike when I did the fire element.' he paused to let the information settle. 'Unfortunately something I hadn't accounted for happened , it fused into my water and fire element mixed element mist and turned it into storm or as the guild has it listed Tenshou.' -
"That explains the sudden hurricane at least." the admiral said in understanding and Alex nodded 'Unfortunately my body wasn't capable of keeping such a dense power locked away within it and well you saw the sate I was in from trying.' alex said and the admiral and commander agreed seriously. "Yeah , you had blood dripping from all your scales and this look of agony about you." the admiral said with a dark expression. 'Unfortunately that wasn't the only problem either as my aura also took a qualitative leap forward taking it out of my control.' Alex said honestly.
'This entire last month was spent improving my body in order to contain my new power while also bringing my aura to heel. When the storm disappeared I had only barely contained my energy but still needed time to fully and safely contain it alongside my aura. As soon as I was sure no one was in danger from my presence I came back.' Alex finished his tale honestly. "From the sounds of it this may happen again in the future if you don't keep your body stronger than your elements. Quite concerning." the head scholar said honestly.-
'It's true , but as it stands right now I am running out of adaptation concerning my body since I reached as far as most of the ones I currently have can go as you noticed.' Alex looking at the admiral. 'I do have a theory about an alternate way to fix this problem however. You are aware of my consumption of world crystals correct?' he asked seriously and they nodded. 'From what I can tell I am slowly adapting a way to perfect how my power flows through my body thanks to them , which should in theory expand the limit my body can handle by increasing the efficiency my body moves the energy with.'-
The scholar seemed to understand and nodded in agreement "Right now your body is forcefully containing your power since it was never designed for it to begin with correct?" he asked and Alex nodded. "So if you gain this adaptation you mentioned your body would gain this much needed internal design and in theory fix this problem yes?" the scholar asked and Alex nodded. "Then I do believe we have our solution or at least the best we can hope for." The scholar said seriously.
