================================

'A double element Mana Pool? It seems like I lucked out.' [Shingi]

Every Mana Pool belongs to one of the six elements of Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Dark, Light, or in some cases, a combination of them like Shingi's.

Of course, having a Mana Pool of two elements means that you have more possible fitting sources to strengthen it as long as it is not an unfit combination. But, since the user has to strengthen two elements, it is gonna need more mana at the same time to do it if comparing to a single element one. But of course, the power of someone with double elements is greater cause he has access to cast two elements of magic.

Some spells don't need a specific element of mana. Still, some and most likely the most powerful ones are common to be limited with a certain element. For example, a water element Mana Pool owner is impossible for him to cast the Fireball spell unless he can manipulate outside Fire Mana, which isn't something a lot can do, especially for a Base Grade spell like that.

Of course, Mana Pools can only store mana of their own element.

Seeing the MANA HAND spell, he remembered their difference between Skills and Spells. Even if skill were using the same names of Low, Base, Master, and Grandmaster for their rank, a spell's grade couldn't be upgraded like a skill's rank. Still, lower graded spells can be used as a foundation for creating higher graded ones. Also, there existed Divine Graded spells, which is a grade over Grandmaster. Still, only high-level NPCs have been seen using them, and players didn't know how to get access to them.

Shingi was almost sure that this was still the case; otherwise, Varic would most likely have told him.

So now he could store and have access to Earth element and Light Element mana.

Earth element is rumored for its spells to increase someone's defense and had some heavy hitters spells but with slow casting or easy to avoid by one with good reflexes. In contrast, the Light element is rumored for its different healing and buff spells.

Of course, even if he now had access to this type of mana didn't mean he would cast the spells of those elements right away cause first he had to learn them. To do that, he had to research its different components or find a tutor.

He was lucky that he knew the somatic one for MANA HAND. One of the spells that don't need anything other than a free arm and some mana since he had seen many people, or more specifically NPCs, practicing on it.

And so now he had completed a big part of the first step of his goal. Of course, to complete the first step, he had to complete the same task his MAIN QUEST asked him.

To earn an NPC class.

He had decided to follow the way of magic. Even if he could get most of his offensive skills from his player account through the SPECTATOR MODE, like he got his PERCEPTION skill, that was something he wasn't sure it would definitely work or how soon. He wasn't someone to repeat the same path again and again.

But even if he had discussed with many of the theory of Mana and Magic and Arcane theories, Shingi's didn't know how to learn Mage's different type of sub-classes and the details of their abilities even if he was known as an intellectual individual; it wasn't like everyone would share their secrets.

And so he sat and thought hard of every detail he knew of any class he has heard about and starting narrowing them out, and maybe he can start asking around or something.

But then he felt a presence getting closer to him and in a great speed have jumped towards him.

But his PERCEPTION warned him fast enough, and he went out of the way before he noticed who was the one behind that action.

Of course, it was the only other person in the room, Annoue.

After landing on her face, after Shingi avoided her try to jump on him and hug him, she turned and looked at him with her big puppy-like eyes showing that she was sad that her plan failed.

Seeing that, Shingi sighed and stood up, walked on her, and pat her head.

"Good girl" [Shingi]

Hearing that Annoue's head was filled little by red, Shingi wasn't sure if it was because she was angry or embarrassed as he couldn't see her eyes as she lowered her head.

But then she raised it, and the usual smile was on her face one more, and as she was about to say something, they heard some footsteps just outside their doorsome familiar footsteps.

And just a few seconds later, the door opened, and in the room came Garry. It seemed like he woke up early today, and as he shows both his children awake, he pointed towards Shingi.

"YOU. Come. We go to work." [Garry]

Hearing that Annoue was ready to speak up but waiting for it, Garry spoke again.

"I will hear no excuses from EITHER of you. I AM the parent here, and I say what happens and what not. So now get ready and be out our house's front door in 5 minutes" [Garry]

For the first time, Shingi noticed his father in a sober state and paid attention to him and his expression, and he noticed clear signs of anger. And specifically when he was looking towards him.

He was lucky that this happened after he finished creating his Mana Pool; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to make it as everything he has done in the day's training on his skills has helped him and would be impossible to succeed without them.

He noticed that Annoue wasn't happy about what her father told them. She seemed powerless to do anything about it.

And so Shingi tried to chill her up, and he knew just the way. Another pat on her head but this time, he didn't use his hand.

But his MANA HAND.

Seeing a weird hand-shaped thing appearing over her head scared her, and she ran behind her brother to rescue her.

"You don't have to worry. I created this. It is my spell, and it isn't harmful." [Shingi]

For Annoue hearing that wasn't very clear, but Shingi proved his point by waving towards the hand, and the MANA HAND mimicked the movement perfectly and waved too. Since he had this time used his own Mana controlling, it was way easier now. And since he used Light Mana specifically and not Earth Mana, he could choose a small quantity of mana that hand looked like it has created by a yellow-colored glass and was somewhat transparent.

Annoue made her way towards the hand, and Shingi gave it the command to get closer to her slowly and patted her. It was feeling a little weird for Annoue as it wasn't as comfortable as when Shingi did it just moments ago with his real hand. Still, she was amazed at what her little brother was able to do now.

She wanted to ask him to teach her how to do it, but Shingi was already expecting this spoke first.

"In good time, you will be able to do things more amazing than that. But we should keep this a secret between just the two of us." [Shingi]

Shingi knew he couldn't hide everything from Annoue since he was teaching her, and he had no benefit of doing so. Still, he should keep a low profile for now until he got stronger.

And so they went their way towards the kitchen for Shingi to have a quick bite before he joined his father at the front door, and they started heading towards the shop.
