<h4>Chapter 56: Elements</h4>


    Vicente''s Magic Gem was extremely strange. But everything existed in this world, and no one watching this Awakening considered his future as promising as that of young people who had Green gems.


    As he left, Vicente was just watched from afar by the representatives of the royal family as they went towards the young people with Green-grade talent that had appeared today.


    Young people with Green talent didn''t always appear at Awakenings, but eventually, one or another throughout the year would. Today had been a lucky day for these observers, and they soon acquired another future member of their forces.


    Amidst the celebration of some of the youths in the area, especially the one selected by the Royal Army, Vice departed the temple and met his group outside the building.


    "Congrattions on Awakening your magical powers, Vice!" Rory said to him, smiling but quite curious about his friend''s magical form.


    The others congratted Vicente on his Awakening but asked nothing about his aplishments.


    One''s magical form was very particr, and not everyone wasfortable talking about it!


    But Vicente did not see it that way. He was willing to talk with hispanions about one of his magical forms, the one in the shape of a pentagram that he knew was associated with his Red Magic Pentagram.


    "Let''s go to the carriage. I''ll talk about my powers on the way home." He said, eager to focus the next few days on learning about his own abilities.


    He had a vague sense of what they were rted to. Still, he would only have full mastery and knowledge of them after the adaptation time.


    As for his magical form associated with the symbol of ''69'' lying down, he would not talk about it with anyone.


    Vicente was not suspicious of hispanions. But as an Earth criminal, he knew that sometimes to deceive enemies, one had first to deceive their allies!


    Getting into his carriage with Rory, he said. "My magical form must be associated with two elements, Lightning and Earth... Hmm, I would say my powers will be associated with Maism."


    In Pris Realm, few elements existed in nature or even in living beings. But intelligent magical organisms could be born capable of manipting more than one element. Thereby, they could fuse their elements, creating something new.


    In Vicente''s case, he was very attracted to the elements of Lightning and Earth, so he could use these two elements and the fusion of the two, which he believed could generate something rted to Maism.


    But this was something special for Vicente. Another person with the same Lightning and Earth elements could form other secondary forms of elemental powers.


    This depended, to a certain degree, on the Magic Pentagrams one would have on their magical journey, but also on the elementalposition of that person''s soul.


    In Vicente''s case, he had more affinity with Lightning than with Earth, and the way these two elements existed in his being, the fusion of the two should lead him to Maism.


    Upon hearing his friend, Rory was happy because most people were born with only one affinity. To be born with two was excellent!


    He too was born with two, but unlike his friend, Rory had an affinity for the elements of Air and Fire, which led to the special power, Explosion.


    Vicente heard Rory''s celebration and smiled at his friend, but internally he couldn''t stop checking other affinities.


    He strangely could not understand what his second magical form was!


    All Vicente felt when he tried to analyze it was great darkness, something that made him feel goosebumps all over his body.


    He didn''t understand where the thought of not using it until the 5th Magical Pentagram hade from. Still, he felt that until then, he should be careful not to use this power. Otherwise, he would undoubtedly have several problems.


    He didn''t know what this was rted to, but judging by the Yellow Pentagram rted to his second magic form, Vicente judged that his body couldn''t even withstand the activation of this power!


    ''I probably have the potential to be a Mage without much difficulty with my talents and magic forms.... I''ll try to avoid using this until then when I can absorb a Pentagram of the same level as this one. After that, my body should be better prepared for that power.'' Vicente thought as he smiled at Rory.


    "Anyway, what do we do now, man? I know you must spend some time getting familiar with your powers, but what do we do next?" Rory asked.


    Vicente put his thoughts aside and said. "I''ll focus on training my new abilities for the next four days. After that, we will leave back to Martell Vige. We will pick up Nina and Eve.


    We will continue our ns when we return with them and some of ourrades."


    Rory nodded to Vice, feeling that this would be better.


    It would be better for them to travel to get these people now while they hadn''t started getting involved in local affairs. Once they started, they would be too busy to be of any use to go out on trips and settle non-essential matters.


    Vicente said to Rory, "It would be good if you would use the next few days to register Nina at one of the local academies. I want everything to be ready so we can focus on our business when we return with her."


    "OK, leave that to me." Rory epted the task.


    "In the meantime, I want the three of you to visit a few stores in those days." Vice looked toward the front of the carriage, where his men were standing outside the cabin. "We''ll update our ns after Nina and Eve settle in locally.


    But I want you guys to already get ahead during the days of my seclusion and contact with these stores. I n to approach these merchants soon."


    From what Vicente and his group had discovered in the previous days, Millfall had a severe crime problem.


    Several stores and localmerce did not operate during the night due to the local dangers. Not only did the owners of many businesses not have the ability to pay for security in their shops, but themon part of the poption, weak or unable to use magic, did not dare to go out on the streets after a certain time.


    They discovered this bybining their observation time in this city with Aaron''s information.


    Vicente wanted to act precisely on this local weakness!


    "OK, boss!" Those men replied just before the carriage pulled into the driveway of the house where Nina would be living very soon.


    Arriving there, Rory and part of the group of guards left, leaving only one to observe the area while Vicente trained.


    He went directly to the basement of his house, where was the training room that every residence like this one would have.


    As he locked himself in that ce, Vicente closed his eyes for a moment, feeling the violent mana in his body propelling him to extravasate some of his powers.


    He looked at a humanoid target there and ran.


    Sparks appeared around his body, in particr around his fist, which was already moving toward the head of the dummy in front of him.


    Pow!
