In additiomistakenlyremote and unapproachable beauty, Aurelia was renowned for her extreme coldness. She rarely smiled—when she did, it was usually a smirk or a grin.
She would make an effort to smile despite how strange it was.
'They're the best to conquer!' Pyris had already set his divine lust interest in her, his cold sister.
However, unexpectedly, Aurelia woke up with a radiant smile on her face and a sense of warmth as she looked at her family. For a split second before it vanished.
The three thought, 'More than enough!' They should not have set too high of expectations.
"I'm here, will you show us now!" Aurelia demanded, not realizing the dark aura she exuded. Emberly could sense that she was changing the atmosphere around her; her daughter would soon become even more formidable than she already was.
"Anh, darling~ congratulations! Can you fully control it?" Emberly enquired. The way they observed her was that, in contrast, her right eye radiated two distinct colors—black and grey—and gave off an all-consuming aura.
They instantly averted their gaze!
"I do, but I need a lot of practice to even use it, and my rank has slightly advanced!" She explained to them that this was meant to demonstrate the extent to which Pyris' gift had transformed her personality; she does not indulge in such private matters, not even with them.

___
Unlike his status, mana capacity wasn't shown on Aurelia's status, but when he looked at her status, he couldn't help feeling how weak he was currently.
[You have not checked your updated status; awesome new stuff has been added!] Pyris had a lot to tackle now that he had awakened, so he planned to check on that after his family had left.
If Aurelia were a normal awakened at her current rank, her stats would be 50/50. A normal awakened would start with 10 stats, which would increase by 10 with each rank as they progressed, and by 20 stats for the special class.
Those were the normal stats but...
No awakened adheres to this standard; there are ways to improve one's stats, such as through physical and mental training for their INT stats, or by devouring monster cores.
Despite having higher stat advantages due to her dragon nature, Aurelia also pushed herself beyond her physical stat limitations through her unwavering training.
Nevertheless, she was unable to reach Rank 6 since she needed to raise her mana core and INT stats to become Rank 6 awakened!

"You've done beautiful darling!" Emberly felt proud.
"It's all thanks to little brother." While Aurelia did feel obligated to him, she was aware that he would say things that were not explicitly stated, such as...
'It was nothing; feel proud of your achievement. I merely helped!' so she didn't press too much.
"Little sister congratulations!" Anastasia continued to avoid Aurelia; after all, their traits were diametrically opposed to one another.
"Now please show us!" Pyris felt trapped in a state of non-resistance by their adorable puppy eyes as they begged.
"Fine!" He groaned, but on the inside, he was thrilled to brag about his newfound power! "So, should we head to the training...?" Before he finished, his feet were already rooted in the dark ground of the training hall.
Located in the basement was an expansive room with a rock solid ground, even the walls seemed steady. However, it was empty and contained no equipment. You will have to press a button for equipment to emerge! it was that advanced.
Walking past them all, Pyris made some good distance with them all before facing them, a proud and playful smile making its place on his face.
[New trait acquired, All-Elemental Control] This was the notification that greeted him upon awakening. He could use all of his elements however he pleased thanks to this attribute, which gave him complete control over them.
'Which means I don't need to learn elemental techniques to use my elements!' The only thing that counted was his imagination. He would visualize a fundamental skill and then meticulously hone it.
"Here it goes!" He raised his hands in a way that seemed like a bender, and the earth shook, signifying his power over it.
Although he could not pull the earth out due to the training hall's strength, nevertheless...
The energy around him started morphing into brown sand, gathering around him, swirling and twirling; he would move his hands and body as though he were dancing, and the sand would fall with his every movement.
"This is the sand element!" He explained while continuing to walk around the hallway in a manner akin to a fighter and a dancer.
"Look... even though the Sand element and the Earth element are somewhat related, the Sand element is very different." His fingers transformed into sand. "Even though I have not mastered all of my elements yet, I will eventually be able to blend in with the sand and transform into sand particles or even sand itself! I can move through sand just like I can with an Earth element." He concluded his demonstration for the Sand element.
"Even though it is easier to use and more impressive than Earth element, the latter is still more powerful!"
"That's right!" Pyris concurred with his mom! "And now for this amazing one..." Pyris vanished from their sight, but they could still sense his presence!
"Shadow element!" His voice came from Anastasia's position: "It is no different from darkness. Shadows originate in darkness and manifest in the presence of light, so they are one! Here, I can move in shadows of people, objects, wherever there are shadows, but it becomes one with darkness when I'm in the dark!"
Of course, he possessed the Darkness element as well, so he considered them as one.
[You are surprisingly calm for someone who just peeked at his sister! You're shameless!] Lia giggled.
Pyris had mistakenly witnessed something he would rather keep to himself... For now
He justified himself 'It was a mistake—an honest mistake, really.'
"The shadow element, Pyris, has the ability to steal light! I noticed that I was becoming disconnected from my light element; fortunately, I am stronger than you." They were all taken aback by Anastasia's admission.
"Much like life and death elements?" inquired Aurelia.
"Yeah? But unlike the Darkness element, which only chases away light, the Shadow element robs away light. You refer to it as darkness' emissary; if light is stolen, it will vanish forever." Anastasia explained based on her personal experience.
It was like drying a well, that particular place will forever be complete land.
"With light lost, the darkness then reigns!" They said in unison! It was an impressive discovery.
But was Pyris ever going to reach such mastery with his shadow element?
