Chapter 132: Bella’s element! The teacher’s shock!
Chapter 132
“I—excuse me, but I cannot stand here anymore… my skin is burning…” Alphonso said after a few more seconds passed by. He couldn’t shake off the burning sensation on his skin. He glanced at the others, seeking reassurance, but found only shared discomfort etched on their faces.
In the end, Alphonso also spoke up.
“Hahaha, well, we are all leaving now,” Alison said as she glanced at the faces of the others. She could see Daniel and Evelyn having a tough time as well.
“It looks like you all are too weak to be here.”
Hearing her words, they couldn’t help but lower their heads in embarrassment. After all, it was true that they were really having a tough time just being at the entrance of the chamber.
The oppressive heat of the chamber seemed to be getting heavier with each second, beads of sweat forming on their brows and trickling down, leaving dark patches on their clothes.
What if they were asked to go deeper? They really had no endurance.
“You all don’t need to make such faces. It’s natural that you would feel such difficulty being in an environment that does not align with your element. But still, I want you all to at least be able to hold your ground even if the situation is not in your favor in the future. This is just the beginning, and most people are like this initially.”
Alison said in a soft voice as she asked them to leave one by one.
“Remember, true strength isn’t just about thriving in comfort—it’s about enduring through the challenges,” she added, her voice firm yet encouraging.
She did notice one thing, however…
And that was Oliver’s resistance. She could see all the other children were drenched in sweat and had terrible expressions.
But he…
He remained unbothered… she could not see a drop of sweat on him amidst the furnace-like heat, his eyes steady and breaths even, contrasting starkly with the others’ evident struggles.
‘Is he more resistant to the fire element? What’s his element?’
She wondered this as she looked at the others. Even Nadia had a frown on her face while leaving; she had awakened the ice element, so naturally, she was in a place polar opposite to her inherent attribute. She was at a natural disadvantage there.
She decided to ask them their elements once they were out. If her guess was correct, then Oliver might have an element close to the fire element or aligning with the fire element family branch.
How could she know that after obtaining a special physique, his body constitution had changed a lot?
With the [Eternal Winter Physique], even in disadvantageous surroundings, he would still be resistant to a very high degree.
His natural body temperature alone was now way lower than a normal human would have in the first place. So normal heat had little to no effect on his naturally cold body now.
The [Eternal Winter Physique] not only protected him but seemed to exude a faint aura of frost, subtly cooling the air around him.
While an individual with an ice element might suffer, someone like him, whose entire body constitution was based on evolved ice, naturally would not be at a serious disadvantage in such a place.
After exiting the fire element chamber, Alison swiftly closed the heavy metal door with a bam.
She turned around and couldn’t help but question, “Right, I forgot to ask, but what are your elements?”
Her eyes scanned the group with keen interest, awaiting their responses.
She eyed Oliver, Bella, Daniel, and Evelyn when she asked this question.
“I have the Thunder element,” Daniel spoke up first, seemingly proud of his attribute nature. The Thunder element was a branch variant of the common element and was extremely potent.
“Oh, you have inherited your clan’s signature element. Not bad.”
Alison had a hint of surprise. The Thunder element was not common and was quite rare in general.
Individuals with the Thunder element had a lot of potential, given that it provided both speed and attack power.
Not to mention, the Sacred Sword Clan’s main family had many thunder-attributed individuals. Many of their sword techniques and exorcism techniques were based on the Thunder element as well.
Each technique of their clan was quite destructive in nature, and on the battlefield, they always made the demons regret being their opponents.
It was an impressive element overall.
“I have the Light element, teacher,” Evelyn spoke up next, her eyes shining with a strange glint.
With her golden shiny hair and deep red eyes, she already had a holy look, but coupled with her Light element, she could easily be termed a saint.
Her appearance and her element really matched each other.
“A Light element? That’s very rare,” Alison commented, again surprised.
The Light element was one of the rarest elements, and not only that, it was the most effective element against demons.
Just a small attack from the Light element could easily obliterate a demon.
The exorcism techniques based on the Light element were the absolute weapon against any demon.
It was noted in textbooks that ancient exorcists with Light elements were one of the major reasons that humanity was able to stand against demons in the first place.
As long as you awakened the Light element, you were guaranteed a special spot in any place in human territory.
Even the major clans and top organizations would pay attention to an individual with the Light element and nurture them with plenty of resources.
Alison was genuinely surprised that someone from the Celestial Paradox Clan’s main family lineage was able to awaken the Light element.
It could be said that with their potent bloodline and Light element, Evelyn was destined to become a powerhouse in the future. She was a valuable asset to humanity.
Her eyes couldn’t help but shine. She was going to make sure that Evelyn would be able to utilize her element to the best of her capability.
She was feeling excited after a long time seeing so much potential…
Bella was next as she said in a calm voice, “Teacher, I have magnetism as my awakened element.”
“…”
Alison felt numb for some reason. The Light element was already so rare, but magnetism…
That element was very rare. She had hardly ever heard of individuals awakening magnetism as their element, even in her long life of hundreds of years.
She could count people with magnetism as their primary element on one hand.
But one thing that was common among them all was…
They were all powerhouses in their own league!
She felt a little complicated inside. Both these sisters had immense potential, and she was the one to nurture them to enter the vast world out there.
The thought of training someone with such a unique element sent a thrill of challenge through her seasoned veins.
But the element magnetism, she did not think that there was an elemental chamber dedicated to that element in these elemental houses.
The element was extremely rare—even more so than some known rare elements like light.
Individuals awakening such elements were one in million, so making an elemental chamber that consumed so much resources for such a small percentage was not very feasible.
Plus it was not even guaranteed that if they prepared such a chamber, it will ever be used in the future. Who knows that a person with magnetism as the element would ever come under them or not?
Of course, that was not the only factor, if one were to ignore this in favor of their potential and the future of such individuals for humanity, the main issue was the mystery surrounding the magnetism element.
Not only was it not researched in depth, there were many complexities revolving its true nature, power and method of training.
The exorcists dedicated to such researches were still not able to comprehend the element of magnetism in as much depth as other elements so far.
First of all, finding individuals with magnetism as their element was already very hard, not to mention, convincing them to agree to take part in research was another chore.
Most of the people would not allow others to research on them or their body—especially when it might cost them their lives too.
So Alison’s worry was justified, she would need to delve deeper into this matter and prepare conditions suitable for Bella to train her magnetism element in.
Of course, she could do much more before that. While finding exorcism techniques and setting up a proper environment for magnetism might be complex.
However, she could still train Bella in the basic way, all elements followed the similar technique in the beginning stages.
Magnetism was a hybrid element and a very mysterious and powerful one at that, control over electromagnetism, radio waves and even light to some extent. This was just the gist of mastering magnetism. Not to mention the control over metals it provided.
It was only until later that the elements start to have much higher requirements for these.
