He had already decided to tell Snowcloud about his Destruction Real other than his encounters with Panurge He explained how he had a forbidden Realm, how Elder Naran had told him it was a Destruction Realm and what it was supposed to do, and how he had trained in the city to increase his resistance to ic

As he spoke, surprise appeared on Snowcloud's face, which soon turned into shock By the ti her the details of his Destruction Realuised astonishic?” She looked at him intently as she asked the question ”How much can you withstand?”

”I aic I can resist… I should be able to take at least several full strength attacks froer than that, however, would probably still cause me serious injuries”

Snowcloud nodded as she listened, excite, she replied immediately ”When we return to the Sixth Valley, the first thing you need to do is unseal your Destruction Real else This…” She gave hi!”

Arran was surprised at her reaction Although he knew his Destruction Reale would envy, Snowcloud's enthusias Arran's confused expression, Snowcloud shook her head ”You don't understand what this means If you can develop it further, and if you find a way to create Destruction Reallistened with exciteer have to fear the Academy! With just a few Grandmasters with a Destruction Realm, we could take them on! When Grandfather hears of this, he'll—”

”You can't tell him,” Arran interrupted her hurriedly ”No one else can know of this”

Snowcloud looked at hi dawned in her eyes

”You're right,” she said, worry now replacing her earlier enthusiasm ”If you develop this further, you'll becoet, the more reason others will have to fear you If others find out about this…” She gave Arran a concerned look ”Why did you tell me?”

Still, none of it was enough to sour his ain, and despite the hardshi+ps she had suffered, she wasn't seriously injured That alone would be enough to leave him in a joyful mood, but with the spirit crystals taken care of, they would soon depart in search of dragons
