"For example, your Light Attribute is exceptionally rare, and even among those who possess it, only a select few can truly master it," Adam remarked, pausing to allow the weight of his words to register.


    "It has many properties in it that can be used for many useful purposes, like being able to aid someone in the midst of a fight."


    "If employed for healing, it could prove incredibly valuable. However, itcks the raw power you seem to favor." He waited, observing William, giving him time to absorb the crux of his statement.


    Adam could have exined that with further refinement and mastery of his spell enhancements, the Light Attribute could offset its deficiencies in strength. But he held back. He wanted William to experience a bit of disappointment, ensuring that his immense potential didn''t inte his ego, leading to overconfidence and ultimately, ruin.


    Adam chose not to reveal the full extent of William''s potential—how prodigious his capabilities truly were. For William''s sake, he decided to downy it. He simplified his assessment, knowing that only when William learned to control his emotions and resist the lure of power would he reveal the true depth of his abilities.


    But little did Adam realize, William had already downyed his own strengths, particrly in the realm of attributes, out of a sense of humility. He too had other secrets about him that if Adam were to learn than he would scream at the gods and say ''HOW IS THIS FAIR!''.


    But not like William was going to tell that anybody.


    Hearing Adam''s words, William mused, ''But doesn''t the spell enhancement ability mitigate the weaknesses of Light spells? By expanding the power of the spells by using my mana that kind of weakness can easily be closed but I''ll hear him out first.''


    "So, what exactly does that mean?" William asked, seeking rity.


    "It means you can''t be the legendary or extraordinarily powerful warrior you might have envisioned, close but not enough to be exceptionally strong." Adam responded, his tone matter-of-fact.


    "Is that really solely because of my Light Attribute?" William questioned, his eyebrow arching in disbelief. He couldn''t believe that a attribute can have such a huge effect on someone''s future.


    Potential? Yes, But not attribute. If someone''s potential was big than it would have been enough to close the weakness of the attribute.


    "Yes. You possess remarkable speed and formidable power, and your vitality is quite high as well, but even those assets can only carry you so far. It''s the potency of your spells that truly matters."


    "No matter how physically strong someone may be, if theyck the right spells—or in your case, if their spells aren''t sufficiently powerful—they won''t be strong enough to aplish most things."


    "If you''re considering the path of a healer, you could certainly climb to a prominent position. But as a warrior? I wouldn''t have too much hope."


    William sensed that Adam was withholding something, but he couldn''t fathom what or why. After all, Adam''s role was to train him, so why would he conceal anything?


    ''If my Light Attribute is the only issue, it''s not insurmountable. I have other attributes that canpensate for theck of strength,'' William reasoned.


    He deliberated internally: ''Should I reveal this, or should I keep it to myself? There''s no harm in sharing. If I don''t, it might hinder my training. If I do, he could provide more tailored instruction and help me broaden my skills even further.''


    Having resolved his internal debate, William turned to Adam and decided to disclose the truth.


    "If the problem is just my Light Attribute, then it''s not really a significant issue. I have another attribute that canpensate for that," William said, his tone casual.


    "Yeah, it may not be a big—wait, what did you just say?" Adam''s attention sharpened, needing confirmation of what he thought he heard.


    "I said I have another attribute that can address that weakness."


    "…You possess another attribute?"


    "Yeah."


    Adam took a moment to process this revtion, his mind racing. ''If he''s telling the truth, this kid isn''t just strong—he''s on track to be extraordinarily powerful. But that will depend on the nature of this attribute and whether he can truly master it.''


    "Alright, show me," Adam said, intrigued and eager to see the truth for himself.


    William quickly conjured a spell, and before Adam''s eyes, a katana materialized—formed entirely of pure darkness. The weapon wasn''trge—slightly smaller than the light sword Adam held—but its mass was significantly greater.


    "…" Adam stared at the de, his mind momentarily nk. He blinked, as if trying to make sense of what he was seeing, but inside, his thoughts were a maelstrom.


    ''Is that…a Dark-Attributed Katana? It certainly appears so. Which means…this kid has the Dark Attribute!''


    ''Is he serious? Not only does he possess the Light Attribute, which is exceedingly rare and notoriously difficult to master, but he also wields the Dark Attribute—the absolute antithesis of Light! How is that even possible?''


    ''I can understand someone mastering the Light Attribute—challenging, but achievable with a serene mind. But how on earth did he manage to master the Dark Attribute? That requires an entirely different mindset. Did he master the Light Attribute first and thenpletely reverse his mindset to master the Dark?''


    A torrent of questions flooded Adam''s mind, but he swiftly pushed them aside, concluding, ''Well, whatever the case, it''s not my ce to pry. All I know is that I''ve got an exceptionally talented student on my hands, and I''m going to mold him into a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield.''


    As Adam wrestled with his thoughts, William observed the myriad emotions ying across his face and wondered if Adam might be experiencing a stroke.


    Finally, Adam refocused and examined the dark katana closely. "Is this after spell enhancement, or is this its base form?"


    "This is the base form—the one I typically use," William replied.


    Adam scrutinized the dark de, feeling its weight. ''This katana might not match the maximum power of a fully enhanced light sword, but it''s close—and this is just its base level. At full power, it would be formidable.''


    ''But the issue is its weight.'' Adam noted the heaviness of the de, trying to gauge its mass. ''It''s significantly heavier than the light sword, possibly even heavier than a conventional de.''


    He then nced at William, shaking his head slightly. ''It might be cumbersome, but the kid has extraordinary strength, which I''m certain will only increase. So, this won''t be a major issue.''


    Handing the sword back, Adam said, "Yes, this will suffice. The strength your Light Attributecks will bepensated by the Dark Attribute. Just keep in mind that the dark de is much heavier than a light sword, so when you switch to it, make sure to adapt to its weight before attacking, or you might lose your bnce."


    William nodded, recognizing the significance of Adam''s advice.


    "Alright, let''s end this session for now. You should rest—you took quite a beating today."


    "Don''t worry, I can handle more," William insisted, though he sensed that something was off about his words.


    "That''s what you think now, but you might feel differentlyter," Adam responded knowingly.
