8 Little Kittens Elemental Alignment 2 (2/2)
The little kitten now understood. She was truly shocked at this flurry of new information and was constantly reminding herself to memorize these words. Having finished what he wanted to say, Jonathan knelt forward once more to draw a fifth picture in the dirt. This picture was of a sword.
”Now then, this next part is simple. The thicker and longer the threads of each element is, the more affinity for that element you have. Now, I'm gonna ask you to put your paw in front of the drawing that represents your most powerful element. If you have elements that are roughly the same size, point to both of them or more. Got it?”
”Meow!”
”Alight then! Now point to the element or elements that are your strongest!”
The little kitten proceeded to sit up and wandered close to the drawings before placing her dainty little right paw before the sword drawing.
”That makes sense. It is common for your rare element to be your strongest. Now, point to your next strongest element or elements.”
This time, the little kitten placed her paw down twice. The drawings she pointed to were the swirl and the fire.
”Oh, fire and wind. That's a good combo. Fire is also good with the element of metal, allowing you to transform and heat up the metal for more deadly attacks! And wind is always a good element to have as it is very good for supporting other magical attacks. There are also several wind elemental spells at higher stages that allow for flight.”
'Flight! I definitely want that!' the little kitten's eyes lit up in excitement.
”Haha, don't get too excited, the first flight magic I know of requires a person to be at the peak of Inner Haven Ranking. So for a Magical Beast, you'll probably have to become a Minor Transcended Beast. That's a long ways away for you.” these words dimmed her eyes somewhat, but she also stored away this knowledge for a later date.
For her last two elements, they were also roughly at the same level. Finished with this part of the element alignment test, Jonathan proceeded to wipe away the drawings before pulling out several threads of various thicknesses and lengths. They ranged from the thinness of a wire to the thickness of a thin rope.
”Alright, for this final test. I want you to point at the thread that is roughly the size of the threads in your Haven Organ. Let's start with your metal element.”
The little kitten sat there as if pondering something before walking up to the largest thread, but instead of pointing to it, she placed her paw to the right of it, beyond the rest of the threads.
”Oh! Larger than the biggest thread huh? That's really good! That puts you roughly around the same size of my threads before I entered the Inner Haven Ranking. It's gonna be easy for you to use powerful metal spells. Well, for a Minor Magical Beast anyway. Okay, next, point to a thread for your Fire and Wind elements.”
This time, the little kitten pointed to the second to last thread. This caused Jonathan's eyes to open wide for a second before letting out a pleased grin.
”Good, good. The power of your Wind and Fire elements is equal to the highest level of your peers. Though don't get complacent, there are plenty of abnormalities out there with even greater affinities to the elements than you. People with two rare elements at the same level of your metal element.”
”Meow!!” The little kitten exclaimed in shock. Her pride was weakening by the second. However, she understood that Jonathan was just trying to keep her level headed.
'Fine then. It wouldn't be fun if everything was too easy, right? I'll definitely become a powerful Magical Beast!' The kitten's eyes narrowed in determination.
”Haha! I see the burning in your eyes! Good, a strong will and countless training is required for the greatest of magician's. If you had let my words get to you, I would have been greatly disappointed. Okay then, point to the thread that will represent the size of your Earth and Water affinities.”
For these final elements, the little kitten pointed to a thread that was just beneath the middle section of the array of threads. Jonathan nodded, content with this. For a magician's least powerful elements to be at this level was rather good.
'Good. This little lass has a lot of potential, she'll be a great ally for my little sister... Let's just hope she'll agree when the time comes.' This kitten had definitely exceeded his expectations.
