Having No Affinity In The Elements
*A Few Seconds Later*
[The Fox 'Kereina' is now your companion, would you like to look at her status screen?]
'Yes,' I said calmly.
[Ding!]

'Hm? Cursed child?'
[Cursed Child are the terms people used for children who they deem as having an evil skill and either have a soul/darkness affinity.]
'Do you mean Kereina was abandoned Because they deemed her as a cursed child?'
I already knew the answer, but I decided to ask for confirmation.
[The Host is correct]
As I read that, My blood quickly boiled and anger filled my whole being.
[The host should calm down, Kereina is currently looking at you worriedly.]
As I read the notification, I quickly glanced to my side and saw Kereina.
I calmed down and decided to pick her up, I quickly hugged her. I look at her and said:
"Kereina, from today onwards, I, Blake Caelus, will now consider you my family. May we grow stronger and survive together in this cruel world.
As I said that, My clothes got wet, But I still hugged her. Because I know that she understood what I had just said and is crying her sorrows right now.
Who would want to be called a cursed child, While being abandoned in a forest full of wild beasts?
*A Few Moments Later*
''Don't worry Kereina, I will help you get stronger and let you take revenge on your own,'' I said, with a glint appearing in my eyes.
Kereina nodded her head, while she is still buried in my chest.
I just patted her head gently as she was still crying on my chest, Though her tears are getting smaller with each minute.
A few minutes before Kereina stopped crying, We decided to hunt beasts.
As Kereina was fighting a tier 1 -Wild pig (5), I was checking all of the things that I have missed.
'System, Show me the description of the skill 'Soul Memory Reader'.'
[Soul Memory Reader]
[This skill allows you to gain the memory of a soul, The more mana you will use the more memories you can gain.]
'Oh! That's quite handy.
'System, What is the 'Skill merger' in the System function?'
[Skill merger]
[It allows you to merge 2-3 types of skills.]
'Oh, I can use that by combining unneeded skills or if I decided to lessen my skills later on.'
'System, What does the System function 'Technique maker' do?'
[Technique maker]
[It will allow you to create techniques, The higher the mastery you have the higher techniques you can create.]
'That's still good.'
After knowing all of those, I quickly glanced at Kereina.
"Oh? Looks like you had just finished, Rest for a few minutes and we will start 10 minutes later."
"Auh-Auh," said Kereina.
"Alright! alright! you will have a break of 15 minutes, nothing more."
She just nodded her head and then lay down on the grass.
After Kereina was done resting, We quickly found another opponent for Kereina.
*A Few Hours Later (Night time)*
While Kereina and I were eating beast meat, I checked Kereina's new Status.
'System, Show me Kereina's Status'

===================
As I saw Kereina's Status screen, I suddenly remembered that she received new skills while fighting today.
'System, I suddenly remembered that you said that a cursed child either has an evil skill or an affinity at either soul/darkness affinity.'
'What do you mean by affinity? Is it a person's talent in a certain element?'
[The host is correct]
'Oh! So Kereina has an affinity for darkness right?'
[The host is correct]
'So? What Affinity do I have?'
[The host has none]
'...'
[...]
'What do you mean by that? I don't have an affinity or am I like a jack of all trades in affinities?'
[The host has no affinity]
'...'
[The host shouldn't be too discouraged when ordinary people have no affinity, That mean's that their magic journey has limited growth.]
[But due to the host having the System, Even if you don't have any affinity. You will still be able to learn every element this world has to offer.]
'Haiz, Good thing I have the System, or I might not have a chance of survival in this world.'
After discussing the affinities with the System, I and Kereina decided to sleep.
=•Day 8•=
After Kereina had a good enough hunt for today, We decided to travel a little faster.
'System, How much distance is left for us to reach the Human Continent?'
[The host only needs to travel for a total of 7,122 Kilometers more, While heading North West.]
"7,122 Kilometers more and we will reach our destination."
"Auh!" Said Kereina.
"Hm, I think we will reach our destination in 10 more days."
Kereina Just looked at me while nodding its head.
"I wonder what the human Cities look like?"
"Auh?"
"No, I am not a Human. I am from a race called Devil."
"Auh?"
"Though I know plenty about humans, I still don't know what their City looks like though."
"Auh-Auh!"
"Yeah! We will be visiting one after we reach the Human Continent."
"Auh!
"Do you know that human makes plenty of delicious foods?"
"Auh?"
"Yeah, Remember the Taste of our cooked Beast meat?"
"Auh!" said Kereina while nodding her head.
"They can't even be compared to a Human's cooking, There are different kinds of tastes you will like."
"Auh!?"
"HAHAHA! Look How surprised you are just by me saying delicious food."
"Auh!"
"Alright! Alright! I will now stop teasing you."
"Auh"
"Kereina, You know I was once A human too"
"AUH!?"
"HAHA YUP! I was once a human though I change my race to a devil after having the chance to become one."
"Do you know that Humans like t~"
While traveling I keep telling Kereina about different things humans do, As we were traveling at a moderate speed.
