Chapter 7 - Basic Elements
Joan, as the Grandmaster of all the heroes, knows how to unlock the basic elements. As he saw it detrimental for a job class like the Mage who doesn\'t even have any elemental affinity.
It will be impossible to cast a fire spell without the fire element. Not all of the persons in his past life has such elements as him because he unlocked all the elements of Almaria.
This leads to him being a master of all the Job class of their world.
As he comprehends the elements, he had no affinity for any affinity either. This past Joan didn\'t have any element in his affinity thus it made the old man struggle to use [Heal] spell on his wound.
Even though it was not normal for him to do it. It still happened because he comprehended it in his past life.
In his darkroom, he was in a lotus position and focused to his limits.. He has to be in a trance to achieve it first.
Condensing first the elements from his surroundings, with little and little specs of it. Slowly, he gathered it. With a time that he didn\'t know.
All he could feel was perspiring on the process of condensing the elements. Knowing how hard it was to gather them all up.
Thinking of it, he first imagined the elements in his surroundings. He could create a speck of the essence of the elements and thus he began collecting it.
He collected first the basic elements like Fire element, Lighting element, Wind element, Earth element, and last, Water element. Their essence was so small and he has to cultivate them to make it his own.
Now that he has it, it has to be extracted as it will vanish to thin air when left behind. Time was at hand so he started immediately to make use of the specs of elements.
First was the Fire element, imagining its form and structure, as well as its very image and form. He manages to create such light on his fingertips.
He smiled as it was very hard to create one. He mastered it like it was his own and the first element he cultivated became like being born with him.
It was as easy to create fire in his fingertips as breathing.
The fire element has such forms too. Joan created sparks and they exploded every time he uses them. He also made a small flame that was like a match and extinguished it afterwards.
Next was heat as his fingertips become ember and were emitting heat. The air in the surroundings went hot so he stopped there.
\'Oh, a success! This leads to another step, and if the Fire element is a success, then the other elements will be too!\'
He went to the next element which was the Lightning element. He cultivated the tiny essence he collected and made a spark on his fingertips.
Yellow sparks were emitted from his fingertips and he managed to stabilize it.
He felt that the element was raging in his body and it was able to make his hairs stand up.
Even more so, he finds it entertaining as it made a tingling sensation on his head. Making his blue hairs spiky like a pineapple crown.
It was hard at first but he managed to make it his own. It was not easy at first but with patience, it became one with him.
It crackles in his arms and was looking at it with awe. Yellow sparks were made and the musquitoes in his surroundings was grounded by its sparks.
They became conductors and the smell of burnt blood was all over the place. Making his nose itch by its strong assaulting smell.
Maybe it was their blood that was fried by his electric conductivity.
He was never bothered by it and moved on to the next element. Having two elements was very impressive by itself, how much more was a multi-elemental person.
It will be a problem if someone knew of his elements when he can\'t still barely defend himself.
The next element on his mind was the Wind element. With him having the essence, started his cultivation. Just like the Fire element, it was very easy to handle but hard to cultivate.
Making it your own was the hard part but when you unlocked it, you will certainly enjoy it as it was easy to wield.
Starting from making the essence bigger and denser and then incorporate it within himself.
Slowly encircling it to his mana well just around his abdomen. In just a minute, the Wind element essence incorporated within the mana well.
Making Joan almost leap in joy.
He cultivated it for a minute. He managed to make it his own and he gathered the element on his palm and he made a ball of wind. Seeing it with his own eyes, he can only smile at the process.
It was very satisfying for him but he was still not halfway there. Many elements were still waiting for him.
He went to the next element which was the Earth element. He cultivated the essence that he collected and started to make it his own.
Repeating the same process with the wind element, he incorporated it in his mana well that he managed to absorb it.
It was very tough for him because he doesn\'t have the element being born in his body. He can only wipe his sweat as it was not easy to make it his own.
He managed to make it his own and he was happy about it. He made a ball of rock on his palm and then put it beside him.
Making also the earth to become mud and to his other hand was sand. He managed to know its form in his past life as he comprehended the elements to their peak.
The Next element was the Water element. He cultivated the essence and was struggling at first. But still, it was not impossible to handle it.
He managed to stabilise it and made it his own by absorbing the essence in his mana well. Creating a ball of water on his palm made him smile in the process.
Also making it steam and ice on his different hands while staring at both of them.
\'Now that I have the basic elements, I am one step closer to my goal. I should proceed to the unique elements,\' Joan whispered in his mind.
\'I need to master all job class to be prepared for all enemies. Knowing the God that made me transmigrate here is also bad news. He also said that I will find it more difficult to survive here this time as the enemies are stronger. I gotta be prepared at all cost,\' he smiled bitterly as he proceeds to the Unique elements.
