Secret Out

Erin's eyes widened in shock as she processed Leon's revelation. She couldn't believe that he had broken all those valuable High tier crystals for... gaining an ability?

'How was that even possible?! The only way to gain abilities is through ability books, right?' Erin thought to herself.

"Hey don't look at me. I only did it because Mako told me to do so. He said I would gain the fire ability if I break enough of them." Leon said almost immediately shifting the blame over to Mako.

Erin's initial reaction was a mix of disbelief and frustration, but she quickly composed herself and turned toward Mako for an explanation. She had come to understand at this point that Mako wasn't foolish and that everything that he did had a reason behind it, and before she jumped to conclusions herself, she wanted to hear it from Mako, plus she was also curious at this point about how breaking 40 crystals would grant someone an ability.
