389 Even more exceptional than them
Colin then said to him : “You did well, the fact that you can see the particles of the elements without having to enter a mediation state is really something important, your perception will increase quickly from now on.
Plus with all the different energy crystals you have, raising your elements to the max level will be easy for you.”
Colin then looked at Mykael and he asked him : “I will need to change Kevin’s training and Ashton’s as well starting from Monday.
I would like them to do an hour of meditation with me before they go to train with Caleb in the gravity room.”
Mykael simply nodded and Kevin then asked Colin : “Just me and Ashton ? Ian and Alan don’t need to come ?”
Colin smiled at him and he told him : “Alan and Ian are special cases, Miguel will take care of them.”
He explained further to them : “Alan has this Dual Cultivation bond with Erik and only Miguel and Elias can help them exploit this bond to its fullest potential.
As for Ian, Miguel wants to supervise his golden pill absorption himself, and Jordan, who is the Titan who joined them and who saved all the Warrior Spirits who had been attacked by the black flames, also volunteered to try to absorb golden pills and to try to be able to control the two elements of the Divine energy.”
Axel then asked him : “Coming back to Ashton, isn’t it a bit premeditated for him to undergo such intensive training, he’s not like Kevin after all, he’s just 18 and he’s never undergone this kind of training before.”
Colin nodded to tell him that he understood his concern but he still said to him : “Trust me you shouldn’t worry about Ashton, this kid is a pure genius and has everything it takes to become a Priest.
The year of 18 is crucial for a mage because it’s the only year when you can create affinity with the elements, and thanks to the resources we have at our disposal, we’re going to do everything we can to make Ashton one.”
Kevin and Axel were stunned by this news and Kevin asked him curiously : “Is that why I was able to create an affinity with all the elements ?”
But Colin shook his head and said to him : “If it were that simple, don’t you think all mages would become Priests ?”
Kevin then said to him : “I’m sure Alan and Ian didn’t know that they could create affinities with other elements and so I’m sure they didn’t even try to do it, if mages don’t know that detail, it’s normal that none of them ever became Priests.”
Colin smiled and he then said to him : “Even if that’s true and in this world the mages ignore that detail, that’s not the case with the other worlds where there are mages and none of them have ever managed to become a Priest.
You are the first one since Miguel, just like you are the only other Warrior Spirits who has reached Stage 3… If Miguel and Elias are already freaks of nature, you are even more exceptional than them.”
Colin then continued his explanation : “To return to the affinity of the elements, Miguel trained me personally, he made me absorb particles of lightning by all the means he knew, Talismans, crystals, place charged with lightning particles but no matter how many particles I absorbed nothing worked and I never managed to create an affinity with the lightning element.
But Ashton is really special, the understanding he has of his surroundings and the way he can absorb all of my teaching in an instant, and even replicate an attack just after watching it once, really makes me feel like I’m dealing with a Stage 1 Warrior Spirit, so he has every chance to become a Priest.”
Kevin nodded, he agreed with Colin that Ashton had the same abilities as a Stage 1 Warrior Spirit, except he had never thought that this was a prerequisite for a mage to become a Priest.
But after thinking about it, a Priest was as much a fighter as a mage and they were the elite of the elite, just look at Miguel and you’ll know that he’ll never be able to compete with him.
Kevin then said smiling : “I’m sure Ashton will be very excited to learn this and he will give it’s best… And you’re right, Elias taught me all the fighting skills of a Priest and Warrior Spirit but he never taught me anything about spells.
Once all my elements will be at their maximum level, you can start training me the same way Miguel trained you.”
Colin nodded and Mykael then said to them : “Sons, we just came to check on Colin’s Stats and what it changed for him, and since you’re alone, we’re going to leave you so you can enjoy your family time.”
But Willow who had been in Axel’s arms while they were talking then flew up to join Mykael who opened his arms to her so that she could settle wherever she wanted, and just after he felt her head rubbing against his neck and he heard her voice in his head and Willow said to him, ‘Grandpa, I’m hungry, will you take me with you to hunt for magical beasts ?’
Mykael laughed then which surprised everyone and he said with a dazzling smile on his face : “Your baby girl is hungry and wants to hunt.”
He looked at Colin and asked him : “Would you like to try your new powers ?”
Colin smiled and he said to him : “With pleasure, let’s go hunting then !”
Mykael then said to them before leaving : “Willow will return to your dimension to sleep… Enjoy your night.”
And the 3 of them disappeared just like that not leaving the opportunity to Axel and Kevin to refuse.
Axel then looked at Kevin and he asked him curiously : “Will your men come report to you or are we really alone tonight ?”
Kevin smirked and after sending a message to Mathias through the communication stones he told him : “Don’t worry about it, my men won’t bother us tonight… We can finally practice activily to expand our future family.”
