"Elements' Favorite..."
Astra muttered with her eyes stuck on the scenery in front of her.
"Elements' Favorite?" Vaan frowned in confusion.
Even he was taken aback by the scenery he saw in front of him, it wasn't clear, but he still recalled Vaan's memory of the first time he checked his elemental affinity, he Affinity stone had a red shade, signifying that he had an affinity with Fire Element, however, the intensity of that red color was just slightly higher than average.
It wasn't even to the point of being called a genius, that was also one of the reasons why Vaan turned out to be the way he turned out. As Astra's son and Astra's 'theory' about him being an extremely talented mage with huge potential, combined with Elara's performance who tested her affinity one year before him, all of this resulted in him attracting lots of eyes.
People were looking forward to what the Vesta Family head's only son had to offer and once the results were revealed and it didn't turn out the way Vaan and the others wanted it to be, Vaan was subjected to ridicule and mockery, making him hate magic and everything related to it.
Of course, it was still Vaan's fault for letting something like this get to him, but what could have been expected from a 5-year-old child? Although Astra did try to help comfort her child, people's reaction was etched into Vaan's mind and that was when Seraphina made her entrance.
Someone who 'accepted' Vaan as he was. Honestly, it started out with Vaan feeling better about himself, Seraphina's Magic Talent was worse than his, unlike Elara, whose Magic Talent intimidated him, Seraphina was easier to be around with.
Soon, Vaan got attached to her and things got to where they did.
Anyways, the point was, the previous Vaan's affinity wasn't very high, and it definitely wasn't this high.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm Not only had he 'awakened' another element, but his affinity with the two elements had also increased.
"There is a Magic Theory which states that the Magic Elements have a 'will' of their own, the affinity we have with these Elements is decided by the elements themselves and depended on whether these elements liked the said being or not.
Although this theory was not proven, when the 5th Family Head, Auron Lucian Vesta took the Affinity Test, many started believing this theory.
Family Head Auron was one of the mages who had the highest level of affinity with the Earth Element, and although he was not a Mage with affinity with two elements, just his Earth Element was enough to make him strong enough to inherit the Family Head's position.
His Earth Spells were so strong that it was said that he was guided by the Earth Elements themselves, this was later connected to his high affinity with the element and he was given the title 'Element's Favorite.' He was later known as one of the strongest Family Heads of the Vesta House, a name that came right after the Archmage Alienora Vesta." Astra explained.
"Helped by the Earth Elements themselves huh..."
Vaan muttered as his eyes again fell on the two spirits who had returned to him and were now sitting on each of his shoulders.
'Elements having the will of their own huh...' He chuckled inwardly.
This theory, he didn't know if it was true or not, but he definitely knew one thing, these two little friends of his, they were definitely not normal.
And this ancestor Auron... Vaan guessed that he might have been someone who could see these spirits as well.
"So my affinity is similar to Ancestor Auron?" Vaan questioned with an excited smile on his face.
It was a good thing, if his talent was revealed to be similar to one of the greatest family heads the Vesta House has ever seen, then his chances of becoming the next Head would shoot up to a considerable level.
Astra, however, shook her head,
"Your affinity is higher than Ancestor Auron's," Astra revealed and both Vaan and Elara widened their eyes in surprise.
"Y-Young Master V-Vaan's talent is better than Ancestor Auron's?" Elara questioned with a shocked look on her face.
"I cannot say anything about the talent since it consists of many factors, but his affinity with both, Water and Fire Elements is definitely higher than Ancestor Auron's Affinity with the Earth Element," Astra replied and Elara blinked a few times, trying to digest what she just heard.
Vaan, on the other hand, just snorted,
"Is that even surprising? I am Mother's son, of course, I'll be better than everyone. I inherited my mother's blood, after all."
If it was the usual time, Astra would have chuckled, but right now... she couldn't say anything...
Comparing her to Ancestor Auron... Astra was embarrassed, she knew perfectly well that she was not Ancestor Auron's match, at least not right now.
He was a peak 8th Circle Mage, after all.
"A-Alright, now get off your high horses, don't let this thing get over your head, be humble, be diligent, and continue to work hard, I have high expectations from you, okay?"
"Of course Of course, I am the most humble and diligent person you will find." Vaan nodded continuously.
"..."
This time, both Elara and Astra turned silent.
Let's leave the Diligent part alone, but Humble...?
This man...?
The one who goes around beating people up like a thug...
That was him being humble...?
Both Elara and Astra decided not to comment on it.
The topic then changed, the three of them came out of the Testing room once the Affinity Stone returned to normal, the three of them had decided to keep today's event a secret, they decided to reveal it when everyone is back and the time is right.
After spending some more time with them, Vaan left, he wanted to go to the library and learn a few Water related spells, however, suddenly,
"Young Master Vaan!" Gabel rushed towards him with a panicked look on his face.
"What happened?" Vaan frowned.
"S-Someone spread f-false rumors about you,
They are saying that you sexually harassed Lady Seraphina!"
