77 Chapter 77 The true meaning of talent
Reviewing the previous conversation, except for the part about bringing girls home, I took Claire’s words very seriously, it is true that all my life I have put her needs and her happiness above mine, when we were little it seemed so natural to pamper her and when we grew up, the habit took root in me, after what happened with our parents and the promise I made that day, I guess I never even consider changing my way of seeing things.
Somehow reaching that realization felt liberating, it did not mean that I would stop caring about Claire, but that now my emotions and my happiness were things that I had the right to worry about. I don’t know why my body started to feel strange after this thought came to my mind, but almost instinctively I knew what I had to do about it.
Having spent hours since dawn, I assumed that if something had gone wrong with Paulina and the military, I would already be in a cell awaiting my execution, so I could assume that everything went according to my improvised plan. With one less concern in mind, I made my way to the courtyard, specifically the place where I practice my mana manipulation, based solely on a feeling I began an intense training session.
Soon I felt that the mana around me was denser than usual, much denser, in an amount that would normally be impossible for me to handle, trusting my instincts I began to channel that mana into my body; I thought that if I wasn’t normally able to handle this amount of mana, maybe this time I would be able to store much more mana than usual.
And that was just what happened, I could feel it, the mana soaking every corner of my body, strengthening it, nourishing it, purifying it, increasing my affinity with the elements; soon it was more than pure mana that I began to feel like when my perception of the environment diminished.
A gentle breeze caressed my face, whispers from far away places dancing around me, I felt free and wild. . . like the wind, unpredictable and capricious, one moment it was just a refreshing breath of spring and the next it turned me into a mighty storm.
But there was more, there was the heat of the sun warming my skin, I could feel my heart beating strongly and with each beat, a burning torrent ran through my body, fierce and dominant was the fire burning in my chest, there was no such thing as a warm flame, no, it was an explosive desire to watch my enemies burn.
While this ferocity threatened to consume me, a soft and refreshing current calmed my confused, calm, and fluid mind was the will that ran through my spirit, but in its calm, it had hidden something more than softness, there was also strength; It was a lake that, when faced with adversity, only the waves on its surface were left to witness its anger.
Followed by softness came hardness, born of an unbreakable will, those who try to disturb his peace face its weight and the edge of his resolution those who dare to raise their weapon against that which it protects, he could feel that if he wanted to, his will would become his sword and his body an instrument of his will.
.....
Later. . . there was no later, only a cycle that was repeated continuously, allowing him to feel more deeply these elements take root in his mind, in his body, and his being; while being bathed in an endless stream of mana.
I completely lost track of time, but when I opened my eyes again I found a completely stunned Kyuru, I assumed that she was surprised by my sudden advancement to a star class; I had not corroborated it with the notebook but I assumed that all of the above was due to this advance, it made sense to me since I was in the maximum stage, zero stars and the amount of mana I felt previously was far from being what I could handle at the zero-star level.
′′ What’s wrong Kyuru, did an aqua rabbit eat your tongue? ′′
′′ Desmond, do you have any idea what you just did? ′′ I express the cute fairy in a somewhat rigid way.
′′ Didn’t I just advance to class a star? ′′ I asked confused.
′′ Yes, you did, but I’m not talking about it. ′′
′′ then? ′′
′′ Desmond you just had an elemental epiphany, heck you didn’t just have one, you had four. ′′
Unfortunately, he still had no idea what he was talking about, so I could only wait for him to finish explaining what these epiphanies were.
′′ Right, forget that you are not from Serefía and you do not know much about mana, you will see when someone trains in the ways of mana, they usually have more affinity with certain elements of it, that applies even with my blessing as your fairy companion, When that person goes through a great advance in his strength he goes through a state in which his affinity with the elements temporarily increases greatly during the advance, so in some cases, this person can learn a skill based on the type of mana he has the highest affinity for, this is called an elemental epiphany. ′′
′′ It sounds pretty amazing. ′′
′′ It is, and you just had four in a row during your first breakthrough. ′′ Expressed the incredibly exasperated fairy.
′′ Huuummm four huh, I wonder if it was these feelings. ′′
I closed my eyes and concentrated strongly on remembering the feelings that I had during my breakthrough, first it was that feeling free and wild like the wind, while again experiencing a weaker version of the emotions that I had before, my body began to move by your account.
By the time the first feeling finished, I was in a riding position with my right hand behind my torso and giving a powerful palm strike to the front, a small whirlwind of mana from the wind accompanied the turn of my wrist and ended with a burst at the end of my blow.
Even I was surprised by the result, regaining my senses, I re-practiced the movement and the sensations that accompanied it several times before going on to review the other three sets of feelings that I had during my epiphanies.
