章節 9: Elemental Tests [2]
****
[Assimilation Completed.]
'Huh?' Amon blurted in his head as he saw the system notification displayed in front of him.
[It seems that it is finally completed. Check your status.] Zephyra calmly requested him.
Heeding her request, he quickly opened his status window.

========================
Surprise passed through his eyes as he looked at the changed system interface.
But before he was able to check the changes, another system window opened up in front of him.
=====================
Choose 2 Elements:
- Ice (Manipulation)
- Lightning (Maker)
- Blood (Manipulation)
- Nature (Manipulation)
=====================
'Wait what?' He questioned with shock again as the new screen opened up in front of him.
There was no need to ask Zephyra about this, since it already said what he needed to do.
Derivant Elements.
They were elements weaker than primordial elements in terms of base strength.
However, in terms of versatility and applications, they far exceeded the primordial elements.
Looking at the interface, he pondered upon which ones to choose.
He wanted elements that were completely different from his current one.
Analyzing each element, he finally made his choice within some minutes.
But before he confirmed it, he wanted to ask Zephyra something.
"Zephyra?" He asked her through his mind.
There was silence.
No response.
It seems like he couldn't contact Zephyra when making the choices.
'Whatever.'
He rolled with it.

Nodding internally, Amon confirmed.

Not understanding what it meant, he was unprepared for the sudden barrage of information that invaded his brain.
Every basic use and application of the element was imprinted in his memory.
Gritting his teeth to not give into the pain, he remained completely silent in order to not even let a whimper out.
Finally, after a minute, the pain subsided completely and he opened his eyes.
He quickly opened his status.

========================
Amon nodded, satisfied with the results.
He had settled for blood and lightning in the end.
As for nature, he had discarded it since the system didn't specify what it meant.
It wasn't showcased in the novel, which led him to not take the risk.
He could have asked Zephyra, but from the time he spent with her, he came to know that she didn't know everything about the world.
Not like he could ask her even if she knew about it anyways.
Meanwhile, if he had to choose between ice and lightning for blood, he would much rather go with lightning for its offensiveness and versatility.
Even asides from that, Ice was a manipulation type so it was a completely useless element unless there was ice around him.
However, before he could focus on the other changes, his attention was taken as he heard claps resound around him.
He raised his head and saw Alya coming back from her test while the others clapped at her spectacular performance.
Michael and Ren were also involved in the clapping, the former especially happy.
'He doesn't hold any jealousy or envy towards his twin even though he's miles weaker than her. Typical main characters.' Amon sighed.
But then, he also realized that he himself, never held any jealousy of his sister's power or rank as well.
'Guess he and I are similar in this way.' He thought.
Next, Liliana was called upon the stage.
With a graceful gait, she arrived in front of the targets and just like the previous girls.
With her manipulation of wind spikes, she hit all targets accurately in just 8 seconds.
Afterwards, Charlotte was called upon the stage.
Since she was an armentist, she used a claymore with her earth magic to swiftly deal with the targets and destroy them.
Except for bow armentists, all other types had to destroy moving bots with their weapons for the test.
The bots were empowered with mana stones, enabling them to move and attack as per the user's decision.
Following that, one by one every person came to give their tests, the time for clearance elongating with each attempt.
A clear indicator of the gaps in strength between each individual.
Finally, after a long wait, Michael was called up to the ground.
As a reader of the novel, Amon knew that Michael was blessed with all 4 primordial elements.
Which was another reason why he was surprised when he was given the choice between derivants rather than primordials.
However, for the majority of his tenure in the academy, Michael had only used the fire element, also making it his strongest element.
Arriving at the spot, many people looked at him with hidden interest as well.
Of course, they knew he was weak. His rank clearly showed that much.
But they wanted to know what his powers were and how much?
Athena gave him a confirmation nod before raising her hand and bringing it right down.
Immediately, Michael closed his eyes before starting to concentrate hard on himself.
Trickles of sweat beaded down his forehead as he kept focused on his task.
Flickers of flames started to erupt around him while the time passed slowly.
After a minute, 5 spears conjured with flames finally hovered around him.
But even so, they were very thin, as if they would go poof any moment he lost control.
Opening his eyes, the prince quickly launched them at the targets, the spears blazing through the air at fast speeds.
Unfortunately, even then, the spears missed the distant targets by some inches.
The prince was weak. Awfully weak.
And it was no surprise to Amon, who had seen him be like this at the start of the novel.
However, he smiled at him.
Even though Amon loved the MC of the book he loved, it was not because of his weak strength.
Actually, he hated weak protagonists.
But the only reason he grew up to like Michael as an MC, was because of his tough resilience and determination.
And that was exactly what he saw in his resolute eyes at that moment.
While the others mocked him, he still had a happy smile on his face at the completion.
After coming back to his position, the next person was called up to the grounds.
Ren Silvermoon.
