Chapter 45 Discussion Between Father And Son. (Clarification)

A kind of expression appeared on Ethan's face the moment Aiden asked that question. Like a bit of bewildered facial expression, he wasn't expecting Aiden to ask that question.

He sighed, he knew he'll have to answer the question, so he glanced at Aiden and inquired,

"So, you really wanna know this? You wanna know how magical beasts came into existence?".

Aiden didn't say anything, he only nodded his head. Then Ethan took his gaze off him and began speaking,

"Mana caused everything, the magical energy flowing around. We breathe in mana everyday, and we also breathe in normal air for sustenance. With this mana flowing around, you can make use of your power element if you have the mana core in you,

Animals in the wilderness also breathe in mana. Plants are living things as well, so they also take in mana. When animals that feed on plants for survival eat a plant that had taken in lots of mana, the animal would start developing into a magical beast slowly developing into whatever shape and rank,

As I've said, animals take in this mana as well, they breathe it in just like humans. So when animals that survive on meat feed on their fellow animals, according to the amount of mana the animal had breathed in, that would determine if the wild animal would turn into a magical beast or not,

But if it feeds on an animal that had taken in lots of mana, it would start developing into a magical beast as well developing into whatever shape and rank. These things take place in the wildernesses, not in cities like this,

But that doesn't mean there aren't wild and domestic animals in the forests anymore, there are. It wouldn't affect the whole animals? So it isn't like the only things you'll find in the wildernesses are beasts and all that, there are also normal animals in them,

And it isn't in all the forests you'll find magical beasts. Some forests are free of magical beasts completely and have very few animals in them".

Aiden nodded his head, that was a nice explanation. Then he voiced out,

"Oh! That's how they came into existence. I saw how big and dangerous that magical beast was. It kept bringing out fire from its mouth".

Aiden said that like he didn't know much about the beast. Whereas, he had even checked out the beast's status and know that it was one of the highest ranks of magical beasts.

"Yeah, that's one of the highest ranks of magical beast. I think it's a rank 3 beast, you saw how long it took us to bring it down, we had to destroy its core to bring it down. Apart from it being able to bring out fire from its mouth, it can also manipulate wind, it kept on making use of its wind affinity while we were battling it,

They became magical beasts 'cause of mana, so the ones that possess affinities can wield mana like crazy". Ethan explained.

"Hmmm, this mana of a thing, this magical energy flowing around. How do you guys use it to make use of your power elements? How do you learn to use it?". Aiden threw another question at Ethan.

Ethan wasn't really expecting him to ask that question also, but he wasn't that surprised that he asked. So he uttered,

"As you know, first of all, you'll have to have the mana core in you, that's the first step. Then after awakening, getting to the right age, you can now decide if you want to go to the academy specialized in training benders. When you get there, they'll teach you how to wield mana and make use of your affinity or affinities,

It isn't easy, Aiden, it isn't easy, it would take months. After that has been done, they'll teach you how to make use of your main weapon and other weapons if you let them. They'll also teach you martial arts, all these are necessary, and they'll take years,

After these have been done, you'll see that wielding mana would become very easy...at that moment, you can now refer to yourself as a warrior. I wouldn't be able to explain all the details about wielding mana right now, but I'll just give you a few hints,

Mana flows around, so you'll have to learn to feel it like it's a part of you. After feeling it, with the mana core in you, you should be able to make use of your power elements easily".

Aiden began nodding his head once again, then Ethan voiced out again,

"As you know, your mum got to awaken the earth affinity, but she didn't learn to wield mana, so she can't make use of her affinity properly, she can't use it to battle someone. Your sister also got to awaken an affinity, my main affinity, wind...you were there at her awakening,

But I don't know if she'll go to the academy meant for training benders 'cause up till now, she keeps telling me she hasn't decided if she'll become a warrior or not. But at least, they got to awaken an affinity. But I don't know about you yet, I don't know if you'll awaken any one, I don't know if you have the mana core in you,

You are still 7 years old, you haven't gotten to the age of awakening, one more year, and we'll know".

At that moment, Aiden bent his head a little as a smile appeared on his face. Why was he smiling? 'Cause he knew he had the mana core in him and would awaken a power element at the right age.

First of all, the harem god had told him that he'll awaken an ability. And he can also tell from his system, the mana stats was part of his status. If he doesn't have the mana core in him, then the mana stats wouldn't be there at all.

He quickly took off the smile from his face and raised his head. He doesn't want his dad to see the smile and start questioning him. The moment he raised his head, Ethan inquired of him,

"Do you remember the four main power elements?".

"Yes, why not? That's very simple". Aiden responded.

"Mention them".

"We have wind, fire, water, and earth". Aiden stated.

"Correct. Now, do you remember the minor abilities a person can possess after awakening?". Ethan threw another question.

"Umm..speed is one of them", Aiden voiced out, then he began cracking his brain. He's heard them talk about it before, but they've flown out of his head. All he was saying now was, "Ummm".

Ethan knew he wouldn't be able to mention the rest, so he voiced out, he was gonna help him with the rest.

"Yes, speed is one of them which is something I possess. Then we have the healing ability, people that have the power to heal minor injuries. I don't possess the healing ability, so I can't heal my injuries, I'll have to get treated. High jump, some people possess the ability to jump really high,

I can jump really high as well due to training and if I make use of my wind affinity. When I make use of my wind affinity, I can jump super high. But when I jump without making use of my ability, my jumping is very limited but can still reach a certain level,

But people that possess the high jump ability can jump really high without training. Then when they train it, it becomes better, they can jump super high. Then if they decide to make use of their power element in addition to how high they can jump already, it's on another level,

Like me, I possess the speed ability normally. Then after training it, it became better, I can run super fast. And the last one is the ability to read minds, this ability is rare to possess, but some people possess it. You'll have a serious problem when battling this kind of people, they'll be able to read your every move while reading your mind".

"Wow! That doesn't sound good". Aiden stated.

"Yeah, it isn't good at all. And that's it, those are the other minor abilities a person can possess after awakening". Ethan uttered.

Aiden nodded his head once again. He doesn't need to possess any of those abilities 'cause every single one of them was in his skill panel apart from the ability to read minds.

The high jump ability, the speed ability, and the healing ability were in his skill panel. The healing ability had been unlocked for him, all he needs to do was to unlock the high jump and speed ability with skill points.

Ethan uttered to him once again, "Now, let me show you some bending skills, let me make use of my two power elements".
