Chapter 520 Talent For Magic

For someone like me who experienced a past life and has been proficient already in learning magic spells in the real world, it's not surprising for me to wield multiple elements as I already grasp the limits and their natural usage but its a different story if a person is already capable of wielding multiple elements without practicing much or has just awakened their magic.

And for Riko to be compatible to wield multiple magic spells in one go is something else as that is a very rare thing. Even when I awakened in the past timeline, my only compatible element is electricity and for Riko to be both compatible in fire and water is something else.

"I am compatible in both fire and water?!" Riko was also surprised as she didn't expect to also have that kind of compatibility to both elements.

"Oh! Congratulations, Riko-chan! I didn't expect you to be that capable!" Rika claps after finding out the main result.

"Wait, I am still haven't learned any magic spells so why are you already calling me capable?"

"Rika already have info about this kind of phenomenon which is why she knows that if someone has compatibility in two elements, they will have easier time learning magic spells. Also, it is quite versatile for your abilities to both wield fire and water. You are quite lucky in this strike this time, Riko!" I expressed my amazement to her.

"Is that so?" Riko started scratching her head in embarrassment as she is usually not used to be complimented like this.

"Man, I am so jealous. I also wanted to have a dual element too..." Janus sighed in disappointment.

"Bro... you should be grateful to have at least one element that is compatible for you because there are very, very low chances that no element is even compatible for you. Of course, you don't have to worry since you already are compatible with an element so you should be fine. We will just hope the others are also compatible too."

After learning that there is a possibility to get two elements, the siblings and Rika are excited to check out if they also have the chance to pull two elements. Unfortunately, they only managed to invoke one element. Rika has the same compatibility as me which is the electricity, Akira is compatible with the Ice and Sora is also compatible in wind element.

"Alright guys. All of you are now aware of what elements you guys are compatible with. Knowing which element you are compatible with allows you to know which element you needed to practice first. Of course, you are not limited to what element you are just compatible with. You can still learn magic from a different element. For example, myself. The element I am compatible with is the electricity but I am not limited to that element alone."

I snap my fingers and flames came out of my left palm then I did the same on the other hand and a crackle of electricity appeared. This made everyone amazed on how I did it.

"Magic spells are gonna be easy to learn if they correspond your elemental compatibility which means as long as that element is the one that appeared here on the test, that magic is something you can easily learn without any problem. On the other hand, learning the other elements would take you quite some time. It's not easy but it won't let you punish either. More like it is harder to learn it compared to your compatible element. Now let's get started, shall we?"

And with that, I started to teach everyone the necessary things needed for them to immediately activate their abilities. However, it wasn't easy as they have sometimes had a hard time awakening the magic powers at all. They already know how to activate the mana in their bodies but they still have a hard time trying to fully utilize them.

In the end of the day, I decided to let them stop the training for a while and we will continue it for tomorrow which will be a whole day. They are free to practice but they needed to stay on the living room and prohibiting them to practice at their room especially Riko who specializes in fire magic as there is a big chance that she will be uncontrollable in the magic spell and would instead burn the entire house as a result.

Thankfully, the day ended without my house burning in flames due to an accidental berserk of mana from Riko. It would be really disastrous if she did but thankfully, nothing major happened except that she almost succeeded in activating her abilities. "Almost" because she failed to prolong the magic from staying.

Of course, that night, I decided to review all of the current progress of everyone so that once tomorrow's practice comes, everyone will also awaken their abilities.

Currently, the most promising is Riko as she is the only one out of all of them who managed to at least make a small flicker of magic appear in a very short amount of time. She still need a bit of stabilization but it won't be too long now before she can wield fire like nothing.

The next one is Rika and Akira. Compared to Riko's growth, Rika is the one with a normal pace. Although she is the first one to properly train in mana, she was together with everyone in practicing magic so she if we consider the speed of her growth, you could say that she is has average learning speed. Of course, it is not bad as it is still sufficiently fast considering things that she just learned today.

Akira comes real close to Rika but she still falls behind her in terms of progress. Compared to Rika who is already good in handling mana, Akira still had some small troubles in doing so. Still, despite lagging behind, he might also just speed up for tomorrow, who knows.

The ones who are lagging behind are Janus and Sora. I can understand a bit on Sora as she can't see and she has to rely on my instructions by listening to my voice and although her progress are quite stellar, she suffers from slow progress due to her disability. Of course, it wasn't that bad considering that she cannot see and she managed to go this far is already good.

Now, I don't mean to be too frank but Janus has the slowest progress out of everyone else. His progress is lagging behind that even Sora who is blind and has a hard time catching up still managed to outpace him in terms of progression.

Not only does he struggle to keep up with everyone but his mana is quite minuscule too. It doesn't help much that his class is also rarely using any magic spells either but that is not the main cause here. It seems like there is some inherently causing Janus to slow down a lot in progress. In short, out of everyone, I need to focus a lot of my attention on Janus so that he can properly activate his magic spell. Sora and Janus's progress are the only ones I needed to properly take care of so that they won't lag behind any further with the others tomorrow as the others are not a problem and can definitely awaken by tomorrow.

I felt a bit more tired than usual today and although I plan to log back in for today, I decided not to do so for now as I really wanted to at least have a decent sleep. During the last raids made me stay up quite a lot and stay in the game longer than I should be staying. Taking a break from playing the game is still beneficial as I don't want to become too hardcore with it. After all, I am already in hardcore mode in the past timeline, at least I should have a chill progress right now.

To calm myself down, I channeled the mana in my body for a bit, cooling myself down before I lay down the bed once the mana circulation gets going. After doing that, my exhaustion seems to be already taking me and I slowly closed my eyes, which directly sent me to dreamland.

...

...

I opened my eyes and once again found myself into the same space that I keep on visiting during my dreams. I don't really know what is going on and as much as I try to logically try to think why I am dreaming this, the more the confusion gets to me. Not only that but when I saw the images on the internet last time, I am quite sure that the girl who was on the photo was clearly the girl that I meet here whenever I am near to the tree's vicinity.

But why am I dreaming it in reality? I thought it was just connected to the game but I am quite sure for today that I didn't play the game, so how come I am accessing this dream? What the heck is going on in this mysterious place and who is that girl?
