A Mix
[Ace POV],
'Another Element?'
'No'
'It doesn't feel like one,' I thought as I looked around at the scene in front of me.
My body was still covered in flames, and there were numerous earth spikes around me, but this was not my primary focus as it was something else.
Not far from me, the earth was engulfed in molten blue lava.
It might have been better to say magma.
Blue magma.
For one thing, it appeared to be caused by my actions, and it was, making me believe that it was another element, but when I thought about it a little more, it just didn't feel like one.
Sensing the mana released by the magma, I knew it was caused by me, and the only simple explanation was that it was another element of mine, which I knew wasn't the case.
For one thing, it was even debatable whether magma was an element, and for another, I discovered something while circulating the mana in my body.
I knew that one's mana would take a trait from one's element, but when I was circulating the mana in my body earlier, I discovered that it wasn't that the mana took a trait from my fire element, but rather that the mana I was releasing belonged to my element.
This thought arose as a result of the neutral spell.
When Emma casts a neutral spell, I notice that the mana she starts emitting in the later stages does not feel like the holy vibe her mana emits.
The sensation I felt at the time was identical to the sensation I get from the mana in the air.
That pure sense of elemental deviance.
They were, of course, different, but they gave the same impression.
I only realized this recently because of the earth element I awakened, because inside of me was a part of my mana that felt hot, representing my fire element, and another part of my mana that felt warm, representing the earth element.
Aside from my pure neutral mana, there was something else that confirmed my suspicions that I had not unknowingly awakened another element.
In the past, I believed that one's mana carries an elemental trait, which was correct, but my understanding was flawed because I unknowingly released the one belonging to my fire element. This time, however, I did it unknowingly with two elements rather than one.
When I circulated the mana in my body, I unintentionally released a portion of my mana that contained both traits of my fire and earth elements, and with just a little calculation and not thinking too hard, it was easy to predict what would happen when the fire and earth elements combined.
One of the results was undoubtedly magma, and given that the magma was blue, just like flames, this line of thought was most likely correct.
It was similar to my idea of how Chris elements would complement each other if they were mixed.
In addition to this, and the fact that I did not detect any magma traits in my mana as I circulated it, my theory of why the magma appeared was most likely correct.
Even though I failed to awaken an element on my first attempt, to think I gained something else from the awakening fruit, and while the magma cannot truly be called an element, I don't believe it will lose to a true element if I use it properly.
With this, I have another card in hand, but I also have another issue on my table because I need to learn how to summon the magma because my opponent cannot wait for me to charge my elements and mix them before we battle, right??
In addition, I had to be concerned about the newly awakened earth element.
As I reflected on these things, I stopped circulating mana in my body and stood up to dust myself before returning to the mansion.
After returning to the mansion's main building, I noticed that Anna had finished whatever she was doing and that she and the others were selecting their rooms.
Finally, after some questioning and observing, I discovered which rooms everyone was staying in.
Emma chose an upstairs room with its own balcony, while Anna chose a downstairs room with very little light, which was a little strange, and Chris?
He chose a room near Anna, but his had more windows and was more airy.
At the very least, his choice was reasonable.
Mia stayed with Chris.
As I thought of this, I chose my room too and it was rather strange to say the least.
It was the basement downstairs which was actually darker than Anna room.
Fortunately, there was a normal grade item in the store that could produce light, so I chose a room in the basement.
Yes, there was a room in the basement, demonstrating how large it truly was.
The room was also rather large, so I purchased additional items such as an extra relatively large table and chairs, as well as some extra items that could produce light and other items.
Everything cost a total of four gold coins, which was relatively inexpensive for me at the time.
After that, I sat in one of the chairs, took a can of food from my storage ring, and ate quietly.
After eating, I went to lie on the bed with my head facing the surface roof and my hands under my head as some thoughts flashed through my mind.
One was how things were shaping up, and another was whether my family, Gustav, and my classmates were still alive.
Apart from my family and Gustav, I didn't care about the well-being of others.
Aside from these thoughts, I was thinking about how tomorrow would be because that's when I'd start my hunt.
As these thoughts raced through my mind, I unknowingly fell asleep.
