His body felt weak, almost instantly in fact. He kneeled with a face of despair. Strange, however, he didn't feel that disappointed. 

His body did feel weak but not to the point of kneeling. Him, kneeling, was in truth a result of being dramatic. 

"Eh?" He was surprised by this as his body subconsciously being dramatic and reflexively let out an interjection comically.

After realizing his state wasn't as bad as he expected and to avoid embarrassing himself, he quickly stood up.

Narukami chuckled upon Asahi being dramatic, "don't worry. Like color has primary colors, even if your body doesn't have one of the five elements, there are many elements left in the world.

Like ice, void, space, gravity, etc. But the fact your spiritual energy didn't interact with these five papers, only means you can't control all the remaining elements in the world."

"So I have no hope? I'm a sorcerer with no element? Sigh." He sighed weakly.

"No need to jump to the conclusion quickly. There is one element, which is light."

"I'm very glad that you saved me, Narukami-san. But I'm sorry that I can't pay for your kindness. I'm nothing but a useless sorcerer that doesn't have an elem- what?"

Asahi didn't hear Narukami's words and in the middle of his sentence, he finally realized. His voice became staggered. 

"Light? My element is light?" He asked in doubt.

"Yes, there is no such thing as a sorcerer with no element. Should we encounter one, it simply means our knowledge in sorcery is shallow." Narukami clenched his fist as the five papers turned to ashes and scattered in the windless room.

Asahi's heart thumped in excitement. A light element! He never thought about such development.

"The only drawback is that. Light element is hard to control and the potion is quite rare.

"It is not because the element is rare as it could be chosen by every sorcerer. It's because one had to wait for at least a few months to get it. 

"If someone said you have four options to choose elements then that person is not wrong."

Asahi has a few questions after hearing what Narukami just said, just as he was about to ask.

Aya who in the distance, who remained silent as she listened attentively, could get a few things after careful observation, and her words were the answer Asahi needed.

"The element itself is not rare but the sorcerers are and due to that reason, the potions' production in the market went down considerably.

"Furthermore, one has to wait for a few months to choose this very element. And the problem is that no one has the luxury in their time to wait that long.

"As soon as someone registered themself as a sorcerer, you must fight as a form of repayment for the sorcerer who saved you and simultaneously keeps the city in peace.

"My liege, can you explain to me in detail regarding the potion?" After saying what she understood, she wanted to know more about the potion. She was somewhat curious about this new world she discovered and wanted to explore more.

The same thing applied to Asahi but his small brain could only process simple things.

Narukami nodded, although Aya was an ordinary human that shouldn't know these things. It was a fact that she was involved deeper and had no way to turn back, almost impossible if not.

Narukami then explained the general knowledge about potions. 

He told Aya that potions shattered human limitations to control an element and give a sorcerer the corresponding boost depending on the element they have.

For instance, pyro (fire) would get a slight immune to fire. Their skin wouldn't burn if they got direct contact with fire and also get a few special privileges.

Ryu scratched the back of his head as he laughed happily. He appeared to be happy as though Narukami indirectly praised him.

"How much does a potion cost? Can you concoct it?" This time, it was Asahi. Aya was contemplating something that she didn't have the time to ask another question.

"Because you're working with the organization. They'll provide them but you have to do some missions and contribute something to earn those potions."

Makes sense. If the organization freely distributed potions, the sorcerers wouldn't do any of the missions they were given.

Henceforth, by using the potions as a reward and perhaps other things that Asahi didn't know but could guess what it was, the organization could make use of sorcerers to the fullest.

And the sorcerers, should they be compared to something, they were like pigs chasing a carrot in front of them.

"To concoct it, you need a recipe and the needed materials. You could gain materials by exchanging it with Crystal Veins, you get these from the missions you completed."

"Crystal Veins?" Asahi tilted his head to the side.

"This," Ryu replied on Narukami's behalf as he grabbed something out of his pants pocket. In his right grasp, there was a transparent blue crystal.

Beautiful, Asahi admired silently in his heart.

Upon closer look, one could see small beads which let out a beautiful and mysterious glint. They look like stars trapped in this very material. 

At a glance, one got a feeling that it was an expensive and rare material on earth. One that could only be found deep underground.

There were also blue veins inside the crystal, randomly spread out. Making the crystal looked like the remains of a living being.

Asahi subconsciously reached out his hand. This was a normal instinct a human had when seeing something strange and new, to touch it.

As his hand was a few inches away from the crystal, he abruptly felt a static shock. The one you get as you get electrocuted. He hurriedly pulled his hand away from the crystal and that wasn't it.

Shortly after Asahi pull his hand, Narukami saw a white hand, a baby hand extended from the white crystal, and quickly touched Asahi's index finger.

Shortly thereafter, Asahi's spiritual energy poured out and seeped into the crystal.

"Asahi, stop your spiritual energy from leaking out!"

Asahi was surprised and confused, he didn't know that his spiritual energy was coming out until he heard Narukami's words. His shoulders slightly jolted when he heard Narukami.

Narukami quickly acted as he aimed his index finger at the crystal on Ryu's hand that slowly let out a blinding glow. 

His right hand made a pistol gesture and purple lightning came out of his hand as it crackled. 

Ryu looked at Narukami warily and was concerned about his safety.

"Wait!" He shouted, however, his voice was suppressed as the crackling sound was louder than anything in the room. Similar to a thunderstorm.

Narukami wanted to destroy it!

The crystal has the same durability as a diamond and he needed a stronger output than this morning.

"Simple Gesture: Electro Gun."

Narukami shot out an electric beam and it traveled in the air in a straight line as it produced a sound similar to an explosion.

Boom!

Asahi who was in the direction didn't move as he was afraid that it was going to hit him. His vision was focused on this lightning attack that he forgot to breathe. It was simply destructive and powerful, making him stay still as though a statue.

At this moment, a faint and weak plead entered Asahi's ears.

"Save me."

His instinct told him that it was coming from the crystal and without hesitation. He instantly stepped forward as he protected the crystal with his body.

"Idiot! What are you doing!" Ryu was puzzled upon this as he hurriedly called out to Asahi. Narukami clicked his tongue, seemingly irritated that Asahi's action was always unpredictable.

Ryu wanted to help Asahi but Narukami's attack was faster than the speed of sound. He was late.

Bam!

The beam hit something and it bounced!

It headed to Narukami's head, the former simply tilted his head to the side and the beam passed his cheek, scratching it and red liquid flowed out as his hair fluttered.

After the beam hit something and bounced. A cloud of dust engulfed their figures. Ryu coughed as he swayed his hand to disperse the thick dust.

"Cough! Cough!"

The beam then hit the wall behind Narukami, forming a massive hole and penetrate it instead of stopping.

Tin quickly noticed the abnormality and immediately acted. He raised his hand ahead of the flying course of the beam. Forming many walls to stop it from advancing any further.

Sturdy walls raised from the ground and immediately destroyed, leaving a huge gap in the middle

Every wall Tin created was getting thicker and taller. 

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Thick, particles of dust lingered in the air as rubbles scattered.

As if a pencil passed through blocks of tofu, the beam went straight past them and after fifteen walls, it disappeared into the thin air as it lost its energy.

The commotion attracted those who trained and they shifted their gaze to the source.

The wall looked like a huge domino as it was neatly arranged, the only difference was a massive hole in the middle.

The last wall had a width of 4 meters as it was protected in steel and because of the beam, a two-meter crater was formed! 

The entire training hall fell silent after this. There were more than ten people in here and seeing the fifteen thick walls with a huge hole in the middle, they were petrified.

They subconsciously gulped down their saliva and cannot cast their gazes away

Knowing there was such a person in the branch who was capable of doing this. They were rather curious who was the person.
