The next few days passed while Elizabeth told him about the elements and their affinity. They said having 1 element is commin, 2 elements are rare or mainly comes with the race, 3 elements are considered super rare but sometimes can appear as the racial traits further develop. From 4 it's seen like a wonder. His grandpa has 3 elements while Elizabeth had all basic ones.
She said after a certain level it's not needed to have affinity and you can develop it kn your own but this level is unreachable for most people. Steven although has a chance denied and only mastered his three elements and practiced combos.
Even affinities and elements are divided into levels :
Basic elements : fire, earth, water
Rare elements : wind, ice, plants
Super elements( racial or normal ) : lightning, nature, light, darkness etc.,
God Bestowed : Life, death, creation, destruction, sun, moon, Space, Time etc.,
Levels of element :
Poor < Nuetral < Good < Extraordinary < Super < God.
The reason for elemental evaluation at age 10 is to decide on a path for future on your own. That's right, if you can work hard you can decide your own future even your own affinities can be acquired from spirits, heavenly beasts or minor gods or even through the elixirs or super herbs that are rare.
Here no ones future is fixed and can be changed but the premise is that you have to work super hard for it. Just like Alex's training, his usual training is given to a full grown soldier in army. The training intensity is also increasing everyday.
Your efforts can be recognised in the day of awakening. There are total 3 steps in awakening. At 6, you'll taken to church to awaken your initial system and blessing that comes with tracking your own growth. Your blessings will be seen and confirm if you have a blessing from divine.
The next is elemental affinity, after awakening your progress will be constantly recorded by the system. In this second part you'll be shown your affinity to elements and bond towards the spirits of nature. The next two years is called grace period as it's the period for your growth and decideds your own job.
Even if you work hard if you can't make progress the blessing will be very less. What is taken is the progress of your training. At 12, the last stage of awakening will be commenced with your job awakening and all other features of your job system.
These three steps are provided so you can decide on your future path all on your own, like that you'll need yo work hard for the next awakening result. If you can't get good results in these 3 steps you can only remain normal.
As Alex is thinking about his aunt razkiel's words, he is swinging his spear using the aura on it. It's splitting the ground and training dummies, on the other side of training ground, leto is training hilde with less intensity compared to Steven training Alex.
Hilde is still hitting the dummy and making some scratches with her aura unlike Alex who is smashing it in your pieces or splittling the dummies into two. Her training is much slower compared to Alex as she doesn't have the demi god constitution, but still for some one of her age it can be considered far more severe.
Alex is also changing his weapons occasionally, many weapons are drawn from the swords, spears, axe, halberd, bow, staff, mace, shield, fists and daggers. Alex is also very exhausted from using his aura continuously.
Steven smiled in satisfaction with his grandson's growth. After taking the after training bath with hilde where maids washed their bodies, Alex enjoyed soaking in that hot water with hilde hugging him from side. And leaning on his shoulder.
This also became common after their training. After the bath the servants dry them off and dressed him and hilde in nice and comfortable clothes, walking to the study room for their next class of etiquette and imperial studies they sighed.
Their teacher Cassandra, Hilde's mom is very strict. She will tell them the lessons about the proper royal etiquette, greetings, dancing, and other necessary things for a royal family member along with the knowledge required for a prince and studies about many things like economy, commerce, judiciary, Responsiblilities of a royal family member and other things.
Although they said they can learn these from the Junior Academy of education but Cassandra denied it saying they need time learn all this before anyone else being a royal and a soon to be crown prince for the kingdom.
