Blaze was looking at Leus in a daze, Only to get interrupted by Leus' voice

"Dad?"

Although Blaze heard him, He was at a loss for words

'I've never seen anything like that.'

'Can all mages do that? No actually, Can any mage do that?'

'Is that even possible?'

Blaze's mind was spinning as fast as it could

'His mastery over Mana is phenomenal, But he's not only amazing at controlling Mana, How much Mana does one need to have to be able to use almost all the known elements like this?'

'His Mana Pool is huge ...'

People typically favor the element they're attuned to because having an Affinity for a specific element not only makes it easier to sense and control that element's Mana, but it also consumes less Mana compared to using other elements.

In Blaze's case, if he wanted to manipulate a different type of Mana, he would not only have to comprehend and connect with that specific element but would also have to expend a significantly larger amount of Mana to gain control. Furthermore, even with such efforts, his mastery over a non-affinity element might never match his expertise in controlling Fire.

That's why most individuals opt to invest their time and energy in mastering only the element they have an affinity for, as attempting otherwise, while possible, is not practical.

Leus' voice slightly rose

"Dad, Are you okay?"

"Yeah ..... Yes ... I - I am okay"

"What's wrong?"

Before Blaze could answer, there was something he wanted to ask

"Leus, When you put Light Mana into your sword, What does it do?"

Blaze always wanted to know that, but he never went specifically out of his way to look for the answer

He'd probably find it in a book in the library or something if he tried to search for it, but he never bothered. However, now that the answer was in front of him, he couldn't control his curiosity.

"Ahh - It reduces the weight of the sword, Making it lighter"

Leus stuttered for a second because he didn't expect the question, Then he asked

"You didn't know?"

Blaze shook his head

"No, For some reason there are no Light Knights here. I've always found it very strange ...

Maybe in the Southern Continent, there are Light Knights.

But here, most, if not all, people with Light affinity become Mages.

The really talented ones can become Elite Mages and be super good at healing. Mages usually work together on medicines in the capital or work in the Mansion here."

"Medicines?"

"Yeah, For example, Things to recover mana after depleting it and such things"

'Interesting, I wonder if I can do that'

While Leus was thinking that, Blaze interrupted him

"Leus, What you did right now, You controlled all the common elements except Darkness, Right?"

"Yes"

"Do you know how valuable that is? It's amazing"

"Really? Isn't it something everyone can do"

Blaze inwardly facepalmed

'This kid has no idea about how anything works'

He explained

"No, Most people use one element, Experts use two, I've never seen someone with more"

Leus smiled bitterly

"Well, Sadly, there's no use for like half of the elements so it's not really that amazing of an advantage"

For a second Blaze was about to get angry but he immediately calmed himself

'It's my job to teach him, Intelligence and experience are totally different things'

"No, Leus, It's all useful in the correct way, Let me explain"

Blaze took a deep breath and started explaining

"Earth Mana can make your sword wider, helping you block attacks you might have otherwise missed.

Also, If your opponent is in heavy armor and slashing him isn't working, you can use Earth Mana to deal serious blunt damage instead.

Water Mana isn't just effective against Fire Mana, it also makes parrying and blocking easier. When facing a powerful attack, Water Mana absorbs most of the shock, minimizing the impact.

Also, In a sword deadlock, a sudden use of Water Mana can surprise your opponent, making him lose control over his sword for a moment, which would give you a chance to break free and strike. A single second is enough to kill if you're fast enough."

Leus heard everything Blaze said with interest

'Perhaps, My initial intuition was wrong'

Thinking that there'd be more things that he didn't know, He asked Blaze

"What about ice and light?"

Blaze scratched his chin in thought

"I haven't seen Ice Knights before, But I believe that an Element like Ice is situational.

Apart from the fact that it can be used just like Earth, you can also use it against Water Knights, For example, If you freeze the Water Mana surrounding their swords then you've basically won

However, Be careful, because that's a double-edged sword, Hehe.

Instead of freezing their Water, Their Water might melt your Ice, So your Mana must be both better in quantity and quality, Otherwise, you will be at a disadvantage"

He took a breath and then continued

"As for Light, I don't have specific ideas, But generally, Making your weapon lighter not only makes you faster but also allows you to hold it in specific stances for longer durations without facing any physical difficulty.

That's a good advantage in longer battles."

After he was done he asked

"I assume you already figured out Wind"

Leus nodded without saying anything

'Ice still sounds useless, I just hate it'

While Leus was trying to process everything he heard, Blaze was thinking

'Because he was able to directly put fire mana into his sword I thought training him would take less time, But now, We even have more things to focus on'

After a couple of seconds of silence, Blaze spoke

"Leus, You'll train in every element with me, But using Light is prohibited until I ask you to use it"

"Why?"

"Because getting tired is important, Also getting used to the weight of your weapon is important .. Matter of fact, We need to get you a real sword now"

It was evening, Blaze looked around him and said

"Well, That's it for today, The wooden swords fulfilled their purpose already, Continue training alone for a while, I'll get you a real sword by tomorrow"

Leus nodded and took a stance, Right now, There's a lot to experiment with.
