Amazingly Talented

-----

To be honest, I really thought she would just stick her hand inside my soul and create a magic circle there or something, but apparently touching another person's soul might cause damage to it, so she used another method.

A strange magic I've never seen before was cast by my mother as several magic circles appeared around me, soon firing a ray of mana into my soul.

FLASH!

The rays quickly converged together in the middle of my soul as they meticulously began to tear apart a small crevice for the magic circle to fit. Surprisingly, this was where my father expected me to cry in pain, but I didn't feel anything much. After all, compared to the soul pain of fighting Ignatius, it wasn't much, honestly.

I guess the closest thing to it would be like getting scratched or something. The pain also had a burning sensation to it, but it's nothing a normal person can't handle.

In any case, I didn't falter at the pain as the magic circle formed beautifully inside my soul right after that.

Interestingly enough, Naturia and the System suddenly felt dragged to it as part of their essence ended mixing up with it. Surprisingly, the fiery essence of Ignatius was also included, even though he wasn't willing.

FLASH!

"Oh?!"

My mother's eyes suddenly widened in surprise as she saw my magic circle form into a whole, only for the essence of three elements to suddenly infuse into it.

"What's wrong?" I asked. I didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing. If it was bad, I would have to reprimand the System and Naturia for getting their hands into the formation of my magic circle a little bit…

However, contrary to what I expected…

"A-Amazing! I can't believe it…! Sylphy, can't you feel it? Your magic circle is very special! It's an Elemental Circle! And it has… three elements in it! Your talent grade is… Triple S!"

"Huh? What's Triple S-Grade Talent?"

I remember a while ago that mother said something about magic circle talents, which showed up when the magic circle of a magician was formed. People could advance through their magic circle based on this grade of talent.

According to her, the grade ranged from D to A. If I could remember correctly, those with A-Grade Talent could get up to the 8th Tier, but then there were those with S-Grade Talent that could reach the 9th Tier, and then SS-Grade Talent that could reach the highest 10th Tier… I don't know if she decided to be humble earlier, but yeah. Her talent grade is actually SS-Grade.

But my talent… did I really have Triple S-Grade Talent? How did I even get that? I'm pretty sure I sucked at magic. After all, everything I could do with magic was all thanks to the System.

Now that I think about it, what's an Elemental Circle?

"Wait, what?! Sylphy, you have Triple S-Grade Talent!?" my father asked in shock.

"What does that mean, Daddy?" I asked.

"W-Well… how do we explain this?" My mother scratched her head as she pondered over the best way to explain it.

"Let's do it the simple way, she's just 4 after all. Well, Sylphy, the thing is, Triple S-Grade Talent is an incredibly rare grade of magical talent. It has only happened two times in all history… i-it's big news, to say the least …" father said.

"Is that so?" I questioned in response.

"This probably explains why she can conjure magic without chanting… and on top of that, she seems to never run out of mana! Perhaps her method of magic casting is so incredibly efficient that the mana required to conjure spells is at the bare minimum while achieving the best results!" my mother could not help but say in glee.

"Huh?"

"Sylphy… the only two that had Triple S-Grade Talent before you were… the first two heroes in history, and the ones that defeated the first Demon King. These Heroes were not normal humans, but High Humans shaped by the power of the Gods. These two were the original Hero and the original Saint!" father said.

"Wow… really?"

Are they joking with me or something? This must be a bad joke, right? There's no way I'm that talented! I thought the System was carrying me all along…

Wait, the System did get mixed into the Magic Circle… did my mother notice? She did say there were three elements in the Magic Circle. There was Fire, Nature, and then…

Now that I think about it… what element is the system?

I asked her this and she answered rather quickly with words I could barely understand.

"My creation is made out of billions of Divine Runes. The elements used for my creation are the main elements of the God that created me, which are Soul, Law, Fate, Light, and Life. There's also a different and artificial Element in the System, but I don't know which element ended up leaking. Then again, I did feel as if a piece of me ended up fusing with the circle. In any case, I'm now permanently bound to it," replied the System.

'Wait, wait, wait. That's way too many elements! Which one could it be…? Did all of them get added? Ugh, whatever. I better not mull over it for too long for now,' I thought.

After that, I moved my thoughts back to the outside world, where my parents were still celebrating.

"What's the third element you found, mom?" I asked my mother.

"The third element… well, there was Fire, Nature, and… hmm… I… huh?"

My mother inspected my soul with her eyes once more as they flashed with bright yellow-gold light. It was probably the power of some spell that let her see inside a soul.

However, as she inspected my magic circle and found out the third element, she had a puzzled expression on her face. In short, she didn't know what it was.

"I-I don't know what element it is… it seems to be a composite of many faint traces of other elements, but it's also a completely different thing altogether… I'm sorry, dear. I really can't tell… perhaps it's a completely new element… wait a second, this would also make history!" my mother said, only to return celebrating near the end once more.

"Our daughter is so talented!" my father could not help but say.

"Indeed! She is! She's the best daughter!" my mother said in agreement.

My parents then grabbed me and hugged me, rubbing their faces on my own in the meantime.

Well, I don't mind their love and cuddles, but I can't help but feel like this talent might only bring even more unwanted troubles than I would want in the first place.

"And what's an Elemental Circle?" I wondered, still being sandwiched in between their hugs.

"Elemental Circle is… is… wait, you have that?!" my father was about to explain what it was, only to be in shock once more.

"Indeed! The elements leaked into her magic circle and created an Elemental Circle at the 1st Tier…!" mother amused father, telling her what had happened while my Magic Circle was formed.

At this point, I was incredibly pissed. I love you two with my very heart, but stop celebrating and just tell me what it is already!
