Chapter 19: Peaceful (1/2)

In the world I had comenters were merely practitioners of different sects The Earth, Fire, Water, and Wind Sects consisted of their own techniques that utilized their ele in ht in all four different practices of the elements Translate that here and I'd be a sort of quadra-elee, if that even existed Of course I did have est was fire and water I hardly used wind and even less of earth except for slight support No I was feared in battle because of my mastery in the two complete opposite ele with Gramps, I had tested out a nu I had learned very quickly during that ti Grandpa brought over an elven conjurer one day when I had asked hiet sowere very different in one sense, and very simenter could potentially have the ability to do what conjurers were capable of and vice versa However, this only caes as well as a her form of coht that maybe I could bypass that fundaretted that I had to learn the hard way how that wasn't possible Another theory I had tested was my potential ability as a deviant Grandpa Virion and Tess had both been shocked speechless after they found out I could manipulate all four ele to see if I could control any of the higher elements, I received mixed results

"Try not to be too surprised!"

Crackling sounds popped in the air around me asthroughme as I prepared to attack

"What the…" My father had almost stopped his attack after the shock had left unfocused Before giving hi a trail of charred grass and earth behindintoexplosion occurred as ed to block my attack the recoil pushed hi back to his feet,at h to tell each other our intent As he lunged towards me with a speed fearsome for his size, I readied e, he let out a flurry of precise jabs aseffect of the lightning coursing through htning and fire intertwined as I parried and dodged his fists, each of his jabs growing faster and sharper; he truly was e because of ht and reach and o wasted He kept his opti close as I did all I can to get in range As I parried each of his fists, I fired ss in his arh; his swings and jabs were beco the opportunity, I ducked under his swing and prepared for an uppercut and just when my fist was about to make contact, my father's knee was positioned just below my jaw

It was a stalemate

The tension from the spar immediately dissipated as my father clasped my shoulders "Ow!" he let out a surprised yelp

I still had electric currents surroundinghim a little shock I s my father to pick h into the world of deviants, I was still a beginner I had a lot to work on forcoic, it was even harder foreither of them required an excessive amount of mana, most of which asted on inept utilization I was also bound by a strict liic for about three ht now, using lightning attribute ic was more of a liability on myself than an asset, in the future, this definitely wouldn't be the case

The reason why only very few es were able to transcend the basic eleher forher form was completely different and inco able to learn both lightning and ice within four months probably didn't back up this point, need I reher fore and understanding to transcend into the higher forms of the elements, my old world experiences didn't prepare me for after I had becoravity, I had yet to produce any favorable results In order to even take the first step, a e needed to understand the link between the basic elee's body needed to be able to naturally understand this link and harmonize the structure of the her forrasp the link between the basic to its higher fore the structure of the mana particles

My theory held true when I realized I wasn't compatible to wind and earth in this world as well

The energy from my body was drained and as soon I my father puts me back down, I collapsed on my butt It was then that I had the chance to finally notice the dead silence surrounding my father and I

My father had always been the type to easily accept facts and he kneas already so a deviant didn't really surprise him all too much However, this hardly applied to everyone else here The only one that seemed fascinated was et what had happened She was probably used to seeing Father fight so nothing outside of that really registered as odd Vincent and Tabitha's faces are all in sync: faces pale, jaws slack, eyes wide Myher mouth in shock, while even Lilia knew that what I did wasn't normal

Compared to my father's excited yet unsurprised acceptance, this reaction was more so within my expectations

"Haha… Surprise!" I threw upweakly

"Kuu~!" Sylvie sca, 'are you okay Papa?'

Vincent was the first to speak up

"D-deviant!" he hed in astonishment

"So, Art When exactly did you learn that new trick?" My father asked,his head while ruffling o Dad I can barely control it, though," I replied sheepishly

We allroo table

"Rey… your son Do you realize the kind of future he has? He's only eight but he's already stronger than a veteran B rank Adventurer," Vincent said, hardly able to contain his excitement

My father scratched his head "This is crazy I thought that hi but to think he would becoe of three?!" Tabitha cried out, bolting up from her seat

My ed to blow up most of our house in the process"

Bothin their chair as they let out a synced sigh

"Papa? Are yoo okay?" Eleanor poked Father in the cheek

Laughing, Father picked her up off of Mother's lap, "Haha, yeah I'ot up from his chair now and looked seriously at us, arms stretched out on the table

"Rey, how about enrolling your son in Xyrus Acadeht? He's only eight!"up on his chair

Tabitha chimeed in "Rey, Alice, I think your child is ht that only noble geniuses were allowed to attend Xyrus Academy?" Mother responded, concern etched into her face

Excitedly, Vincent voiced out, "I can handle that! I do a lot of business with the Director of Xyrus Academy so she'll be lenient in the enrollment process"

"B-but the school fees are ued, still doubtful of the idea of sending me

"Alice, that should be the least of your worries We will be glad to pay for the fees Arthur's talent is immeasurable Who knohat he can accomplish Even if we don't pay, I' to sponsor him" Tabitha held Alice's hands in her own for reassurance

"Aheet that the person's future they were trying to decide was right here with them

"I have just arrived back home today Can I spend a bit of tio to school or not?" I gave a ize Haha I guess I was too excited there for aback down

"Thank you" I gave the Helstea family a smile

I turned my head to face my mother "Moot! You'll have your rooo up now, it's getting late"

Sylvie had already fallen asleep onin and out of her dreaday

Mother and Father leadin froer than my room in Ashber but still decorated in a hos did leave a lot of open space, it worked perfectly for since I needed some space to train

As I settled Sylvie down on the bed, Mother and Father sat down next to ether toet you soh rabbing enius or not, you're still ardless of circu knowing that they would always treat enius"

I quietly nodded in return I thought of revealing the full extent of ht be safer to do it in baby steps

Before he stood back up up, he pinched ave me an evil s ic today Don't think that you fooled me! We'll do a rematch soon

My uys think about is fighting"

She looked at ht, though No enius you are, you'll still be my baby boy"
