"What do you mean? And will you just stop keeping me in suspense, it's killing me." Grey said in frustration. The mage just sighed and then leaned back on his chair. "You see we mages, have different affinities that could be graded as talents under colours which you are pretty aware of already." Sёarch* The Nôvel(F)ire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "With red being the lowest and Gold being the highest of them all. Like I am a fire mage, if I were a red coloured talent, which is very unlikely since fire users have high affinities and color talent. But assuming I was a red color talent, I would hardly be able to produce a fire ball." "I would just be limited to controlling the fire around me and not being able to produce fire from thin air. Which is quite disadvantageous since red colored talents are limited in their use of their abilities." The mage explained. "While those high enough like the blue coloured talents could produce fire out of thin air because they have a high enough affinity and also a high color talent." Grey said. "Correct." The mage said. "So you see, along with having an affinity, the grade is also important too. And I'm sure you know the fuel for us mages right?" "Yes, mana." Grey replied. "Correct. Mana, the energy source from the world that could be used to replenish our core so as to continue using our spells." "Now that you know all that, that brings us to affinity types." "Affinity types?" Grey asked, confused by this. "What? You don't know that there are affinity types?" The mage asked to which Grey just shook his head. The mage just sighed and decided to explain. "There are mages with different affinity types, some are single elementalist, those that can only use one element." "While we have dual elementalists, these mages could use two elements at once. These mages are quite versatile as they could hold and control two elements making them powerful and quite rare at this." "What!?! These types of people exist?" Grey asked. "Yes, and like I said, they are rare. But it doesn't mean they are all invincible, having two elements doesn't always means you are powerful, some of them have weak colour in either of the two elements but if someone were ever to encounter dual elementalists with high colour in both affinities, I would advice they run away because they are dangerously powerful." The mage explained. "Noted." Grey said, nodding his head along keeping this piece of advice at the back of his head. "Then we have the multi-elementalists, these ones are super rare as they could control three or more elements making them formidable. And that was why I was said to be the strongest mage ever as I could control four elements." "What!?! You… you are a multi elementalist?" Grey asked in shock and then the mage nodded his head along. "And remember when I said some dual elementalists could be weak? Well, if you were to encounter a multi elementalist, I would advise you to run very far away because they usually have very high grades in their elements." The mage said. "Now, lastly, we have the special affinities, these are not your usual elemental affinities, they are quite unique. We have three types of special affinities (Space, Chaos and time) anyone possessing either of these, could be called a god." "And that is why I called myself a god as I have the affinity of space and that is where we are now, my space." The mage smiled, making Grey tremble at how powerful the mage seemed to be. "Now, the reason I made a long speech for you, is because of the result I saw from the orb that made me ask you to take the test twice." "Which is?" Grey asked. "Grey Dawn! Congratulations because you are a multi elementalist and not just anyone, I would say the strongest as you have five elemental affinities and one of them being a special affinity." The mage said. "Fiv… Five freaking elemental affinities! How the hell is that possible?" Grey shouted in shock as he felt his palm sweating. "And to think you were about to end your life before you discovered this. What a waste of talent and power that would be." The mage said, shaking his head in disappointment. "I…I… how is this possible?" Grey asked. "Beats me, I don't even know how you are this OP. My best bet, you must have been chosen by the gods or something." The mage chuckled. "Aren't you jealous?" Grey asked. "Jealous? Why should I?" The mage asked. "I have so many affinities, and with time, I might be stronger than you. Aren't you jealous that someone would take your title of being the strongest?" Grey asked with a smirk on his face. "I think you have a death wish!" The mage said with his face all looking furious and the space was suddenly shaking tremendously. While Grey was suddenly biting his tongue and cursing himself for being so silly. Then his face changed back to his normal cheerful smile. "Is what I would say if I really did care." "Look, my time has come to end on Earth, I wouldn't interfere in Earth's matters even though it is coming to an end. So since I won't interfere, why not groom the next strongest. And for the record, I'm not a jealous type." The mage chuckled and the he suddenly looked behind Grey's back and his expression turned serious. "Alright, it's time for you to go now." "What? Go now? I still have so many questions to ask from you. Like what are the affinities I have, how do I control them, how can I use them properly?" Grey shouted. "When it's the right time, you would know how to use them efficiently and you would be able to unlock them. But I will give you the grace of asking one question which would be answered before you go." The mage said. Grey hurriedly thought of what he wanted and then he finally came up with a question. "How can I contact you? How can we see again?" Grey asked. "Whenever you want to talk to me, just look into your heart and you will see me here again. Now byee!" The mage said as he prepared to click his fingers. "Wait! What do you mean?" Grey's voice echoed as the space around him dissolved, pulling him into an infinite void."
