Chapitre 5: Double Techniques
Alec waited for 1 hour for the system to open, and he was certainly not disappointed because one hour later, the system came back online, showing a status panel with a picture of Alec at the side of it like all those games systems he had always played in his past world.

Alec quickly understands the system because of its game-like features.
"Alec, the grand elder asked for you to be called to the Training Hall." Alec heard someone talking to him from outside his door.
"I will be right there very soon," he replied to whoever had been sent to deliver the message.
He could hear the footsteps of the boy retreating, so he got up and tidied.
The system still showed his status tab, clearly distracting and obstructing his view.
'How I wish it would just close for a while,' Alec thought, and then realized it went off; he was surprised and tried to bring it back with his mind, and it came back.
"Fuck it could be controlled with the mind, and I was just clicking in the air when I was with Gramps" Alec face-palmed himself with his hands when he realized that he could have just tried controlling it with his mind from the start.
What embarrassed him was that it took him a long time to realize.
When he got to the gathering, he noticed that all younger generation members were invited.
Alec could see that most of them had already formed some clique, so he just went and sat in one corner as always. After all, he was not interested in talking with any of them, but he noticed someone sitting beside him.
"Erm, I don't think I am the type of person you wanna sit with right now cause am pretty much the one everyone avoids, " Alec said
"Who cares? Am I someone like you anyway? I am not accepted in the family, like you. I also am someone called a bastard, and my name is Arthur." he stretched his hand toward Alec for a handshake.
Alec gladly took, " My name is Alec."
"Who does not know Alec, the next Prince of the Gordon family? Well, you already know my name; I am blessed with an affinity for earth and metal," Arthur said
"Woah, that's great, but I can't remember seeing anyone with that type of double affinity when I was on the assessment grounds," Alec said.
" well, that's because I awakened after you left, man; my two elements could be traced back to my father and mother's secondary elements."
" oh, no wonder; I don't care, though. I think you are going to do great, " Alec encouraged him.
" so which path are you going to choose? There had been rumors going around that you might take over for your grandfather and become a golem mage", Arthur said
" Yes, of course, I am following his footsteps. Someone has to show that our unique golem path ain't lost even if others don't take it seriously like it used to again, " Alec replied
" well then, you will need a bodyguard; how about I be your partner? " Arthur offered
And they shook hands again with smiles on their face. It was clear that they agreed a lot on many things.
The grand elder walked in with a long staff with his hat. He sat in the middle of the hall where a small platform was arranged.
" first of all, I want to congratulate all of you who have awakened and will soon embark on their journey of being great mages."
" Secondly, I want to tell you all not to get cocky because you feel you are better than the rest of your colleagues in this room because you think you have a more high affinity than them."
" what matters is the effort you put into your training. I would also like to inform you that you have not yet stepped into the realm of mage, so for now, forget anything like being a mage of the Gordons family."
" Well, the main reason I called you all for this meeting is to impact and transfer Gordon's family's mana circulation techniques to you all. "The grand elder paused his explanation as he stuck his big staff on the floor, and five big stones emerged from the ground with the Gordons family techniques written in them.
" you are allowed to pick one and learn only when you have accumulated more mana in your body. That's when you will breach the Lower tier 1 realm. Only then could you be called mages of the Gordon family, " the grand elder concluded.
The moment the grand elder finished explaining, the younger generation of the Gordon family quickly started moving closer toward the technique stones.
They found the techniques easy to memorize, but when they moved to memorize another one, they forgot about the last technique they had just learned.
But unlike them, every time Alec read a technique, he got a notification from the system.
[ Learnt basic mana circulation technique - spiral force ]
[Learnt basic mana circulation technique - mini hole]
Alec quickly realized he could learn this technique easily, so he stopped after reading two. After all,. The grand elder had told them only to learn one mana circulation technique.
The grand order saw the look of confusion in the faces of the younger generation and laughed.
" I know what you are all trying to do; there is a reason why I said you are allowed to pick one mana circulation technique, and there was a reason why I never stopped you because it is close to impossible to learn more than one mana technique, but if you were able to you would be classified as a monster class genius because those that do can develop twice as much for every time they cultivate."
Hearing this, most of the younger generation returned to reading correctly and finding the one that suited them best.
But when Alec heard this, he blinked, realizing he had just learned two; he decided to keep this a secret and maybe use it to his advantage.

- Author's Note -
Good morning, afternoon, or evening, whenever you receive this message. I wanted to address a common concern that has been following my book, Golem Mage, ever since it was contracted with webnovel.
When I started writing Golem Mage, it was purely for fun. I'm not sure if any of the old readers from the previous platform followed me here, but grammar has never been my strong point. I made a lot of mistakes, and people read without complaining because it was free. I'm sure they read over the first hundred chapters for free back then.
Suddenly, I received a contract through an agency linked with webnovel, and my book was established on their platform. Now, I have to release chapters every day while also going back and correcting my past mistakes.
Editing is not easy, and the fact that I am not contracted directly with webnovel means I can't simply edit my errors and expect them to show instantly. The revisions have to go through the agency I am contracted with. Please bear with me as I work on editing each chapter, no matter how stressful it may be.
I am not the same author I was when I started. I have developed and evolved. My writing style has changed, and my errors have reduced. I promise to give the book the quality it deserves.
This message is only directed to the true fans of my books, not those who criticized it while also secretly reading the same book they claim they can't read. Thank you for your understanding and continuous support.
