GUARDIAN OF THE END

"Grandma, you do realize that I don't even know the C in corrosion property of the dark element?" Jason asked while staring at the baby Eelfishes.

"I know that but you have to start somewhere. Its not like you have to go somewhere important that you can't practice this" Risa replied with a straight face, placing the jar of Eelfishes on the table while leaving one of them outside.

"I am on the other side of the room. Don't touch anything and just practice. Yell my name if you need anything." Risa explained before walking out of the door and closing it behind her.

Jason sat down on the ground the moment that happened. He decided to know a bit more about his system first before practicing.

'System, I can only have one sub-job class equipped at once, right?'

[ Yes, host. You will only gain progress for the sub job class you have equipped and as for the other job class, you can only use two skills or spells from it. To use more, you will have to shift job classes. ] The system informed.

'That's quite a coincidence considering how I only used two skills from my dark mage job class.' Jason replied before eyeing the Eelfish once and sighing.

"I hope I don't make things worse than what they are already are…" Jason muttered as went near the Eelfish on the table and placed his hands right above it.

He focused on his dark element before summoning it in his fingertips. It took some time but after he was done gathering the mana, Jason touched the fish's body with his index finger.

The body of the fish felt slippery to touch but Jason didn't think to much about.

He released the stored up dark mana in his finger as it penetrated the fish's body, opening a small wound in its skin.

Jason realized that he would have to constantly keep in contact with the wound to supply the fish's body with mana, making it much more uncomfortable.

Not to mention that he still had to control the mana and direct it towards the damaged cells hindering the Eelfish's growth.

He decided to start slowly by making a small portion of the mana move towards a single cell and destroy it.

But halfway through, the fish suddenly jerked, making Jason not only lose his focus but also shift his finger.

The mana went out of the control and rushed throughout the fish. In less than a minute, it spread all inside the fish and destroyed its body from the inside, thus killing it.

[ Well, at least it didn't burst up. ] The system consoled as Jason sighed and picked up the dead body of the fish.

It felt slightly slippery in his hands as he dashed to the corner of the table where a dustbin of sorts was placed. He put the fish inside it and closed the lid before sitting down at his original position.

'To destroy the corrupted cells, I first need to learn how to use the corrosive property of dark element and then learn how to control it in certain cases like this.' Jason brainstormed for quite some time before deciding to just leave the lab.

There wasn't anything for him to practice his skills on inside the lab and he had to go outside.

"Grandma!" Jason yelled as the door opened up and Risa peeked her head inside.

Compared to the woman from moments ago, Risa looked as though she had just went on a motorbike ride. Her hair were ruffled wildly and were tangled in some places.

Her cheeks were slightly flushed and she looked as though she had been in the middle of something when Jason had interrupted her.

"I want to go outside and practice there. If I keep on using my dark element here, I will kill all of the fishes before learning how to use my dark element."

"I see. We will repeat the same thing we did while getting here." Risa replied and two minutes later, Jason was standing outside the house.

Though he was going to practice, Jason was going to the shelter first. The sun had came up long ago and the time was thirty minutes till noon.

Jason wouldn't have cared much about the time if not for the fact that he saw Nora and Zara standing near a tree in scorching sunlight.

Jason stood around the corner of the house as he spied on the son-mother pair.

'So that's why grandma doesn't teach Nora.' Jason soon realized that Zara was the one who had been training Nora the entire time.

Perhaps training was the wrong word as similar to Risa, Zara only showed things and didn't tell how to do them.

The two of them were currently practicing how to manage the size, shape and hotness of a fireball. Jason decided to leave them alone as he took a full rotation and walked to the shelter.

The moment he stepped foot inside the shelter, Feta came dashing and hugged him. Jason patted the goat's forehead for a few moments and then only did she leave him alone.

"I know we haven't met for some time Feta, and yes, its nice to meet you too. Is Karna inside?" Jason questioned the goat as she shook her head.

He sighed in annoyance and went to sit near a tree. Jason had only came to the shelter to get some tips from Karna but it seemed that he had wasted his time.

Despite the hot weather, cool wind had starting blowing from the north and it was enough to make Jason feel relaxed as he slumped down.

He rested his head on the tree's trunk while glancing at Feta. The goat had laid on the ground beside him and was sleeping calmly.

Jason smiled at this before turning his gaze towards the sky. He saw the clouds moving slowly which soon made him yawn.

'I want to be a cloud…' Jason thought while yawning once again. He then closed his eyes and was about to take a nap when the system suddenly interrupted him.

[ Host, Issac is making his way here... ]

Jason groaned a bit as he stood up and looked in the direction of the manor. The system was indeed correct as Jason could see the silhouette of his grandfather rapidly approaching him.

'I really want to be a cloud right now.' Jason sighed while glancing down at Feta one last time.

He wondered how easy of a life the goat must be as compared to his. While sighing with a dejected look on his face, Jason stood up and made his way towards his grandpa.

'I wonder what new drama is awaiting me…'
