The Tragedy and the Way Out of Being Without Attributes
"Albert, let's try again. You're so talented in magic, there won't be any problems.”Seeing Abel's expression, Rott couldn't help but comfort him.
"Yes!" Abel's hope was rekindled.
After waiting for a long time, the crystal ball still did not react.
"Sigh... Albert, take your hand off." Rott felt very sad for Abel. It was rare to meet a seedling with such good spiritual power talent, but he couldn't sense the elements.
"Uncle Rott, am I unable to become a mage?”Abel was very disappointed, really disappointed. The feeling of not being able to get it was nothing, but losing it after getting it was the most heartbreaking thing.
"That's not right. Even if your elemental affinity is low and you can't feel the elements, I'm using magic to guide the elements in your body. How can there be no reaction at all?”Roth suddenly realized that things weren't that simple.
"Hmm? Uncle Rott, do you mean I still have hope?”Hearing Rott's words, Abel's heart heated up again.
"Abel, I know the reason. It's not that you can't sense the elements, but that you have no attributes.”Roth said faintly.
" What's an attribute less?" Abel didn't understand this, so he quickly asked Rott, hoping that he would give him a satisfactory answer.
"Everyone in this world has their own natal elements: earth, water, fire, wind, light, darkness, and space. There are also rare dual elements that are inherited from their father and mother. If the attributes of light and darkness or water and fire coexist in a person's body, then unless that person doesn't cultivate, he will definitely not live long. However, there were two even rarer attributes on this continent, all-attributes and non-attributes. All-attributes did not mean that he was suitable to cultivate all magic, but rather that his elements were too uniform, causing him to not have much success in whatever he learned. Those without attributes were even more special. They were born with magic insulation and could not cast magic in their entire lives, no matter how talented they were. Therefore, Abel was very unfortunate.”Rott sighed. He didn't even dare to look into Abel's disappointed eyes.
"How could this be…Was there no way to overcome it?”Abel was extremely upset.
"It's not that there's no way.”Rott suddenly thought of a spell.
"What method?" Abel's eyes lit up as he stared at Rott and asked anxiously.
"This method has a prerequisite. Although you have no elemental attributes, if your elemental affinity is high, you can still absorb elemental molecules and meditate to convert them into spiritual force. However, this spiritual force has no attributes, so you won't be able to cast elemental magic in your lifetime. However, in this world, there were other types of magic besides elemental magic. For example, the branches of dark magic, death magic, and mental magic. These two types of magic did not require elements. However, dark magic had already disappeared from the Hasi Continent, and mental magic had also been lost for a long time. The only copies left were kept in the major magic academies. If you wanted to learn, you had to go there.”
"Magic Academy?" The fire that had just ignited in Abel's heart was extinguished again. He knew his own family's situation. How could he afford to go to the magic academy when he could not even eat?
"Abel, I can teach you the method of meditation. Try to absorb the elements and convert them into spiritual force.”Seeing Abel's expression, Rott knew his difficulties. However, he had no other choice. After all, it was not easy to get into a magic academy, let alone a poor child without any attributes.
"Alright, thank you, Uncle Rott.”Abel had already let go of the burden in his heart. If he had no attributes, then so be it. If he could learn meditation, it would be good if he could really learn mental magic in the future.
"Yes, it's good that you can accept it. I'll teach you now. Remember well.”Seeing that he could take things up and put them down, Rott admired this child.
........
"Uncle Rott, I can feel the elements. When I was meditating, I felt them enter my body.”The first thing Abel did when he woke up after meditating was to shout happily. He could feel the elements. Even if he had no attributes, at least he still had hope of becoming a mage.
"Is that so? That's great. Do you still remember which element it is? Red represents fire, cyan represents wind, blue represents water, yellow represents earth, gold represents light, black represents darkness, and silver represents space.”Rott was happy for Abel.
"Ah, so there's so much to the colors of the light spots. I didn't even notice that they were all coming at me when I was meditating.”Abel replied dumbly after hearing Rott's words.
"Hmm? What did you say? You said that the elemental molecules are all coming for you? Seven-colored light spots?" Rott was shocked.
"Yeah, what's wrong with that? Uncle Rott." Abel was curious about Rott's reaction.
"Genius ~~ how can it be without attributes, sigh…" Roth sighed and said,""Most people can only absorb one type of elemental molecules and convert them into the corresponding elemental spiritual power. Even people with dual attributes can only absorb and convert one by one. Therefore, if people with dual attributes are not extremely talented and work harder, they will not be popular. However, I'm the first to hear that someone like you can absorb all the elements at once. This means that your cultivation speed is several times faster than others.”Rott looked at Abel excitedly.
"So that's how it is. Then I'll have to work even harder to cultivate my spiritual power. Who knows if I'll learn spiritual magic in the future?”Abel finally heard the good news. Although he couldn't cast magic, he could train his mental strength several times faster than others.
"Mm, Abel, it's good that you think that way. No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. If you give up now, it'll be too late to regret it when the opportunity comes.”Rott agreed with Abel's idea. After all, it would be a pity to give up such a high cultivation talent.
"Mm, don't worry, Uncle Rott. I won't joke about my future.”Abel's mature answer made Rott laugh.
"Albert, tell me about you. How do you live as a child?”After laughing, Rott began to care about this child. After all, such a good talent couldn't be found anywhere.
"Me? It's nothing much. When I was young, I begged with the old beggar. After the old beggar died, I begged for food myself. When I couldn't get it, I went to the garbage dump and fought with wild dogs for food. In the beginning, I was bitten badly and was covered in wounds. Occasionally, I went to the market. Hehe, actually, Uncle Rott, you're really lucky. If I didn't meet a fat sheep that day, I wouldn't have the money to find a priest to save you.”
Abel said it casually and even joked with Rott in the end. However, Rott's heart became heavier and heavier as he listened. Other children were at the age where their parents loved them, but he was busy making a living. God gave him a proud talent, but he was killed in a prank.
"Albert, why don't you come with me? I may not be rich, but I can at least support the two of us. Besides, if you follow me, I can guide you in your magic training.”Rott thought for a while and decided to take him away.
Hearing Rott's words, Abel was stunned. It had been a long time since anyone cared about him. Ever since the old beggar died, he didn't know what caring was. The only thing he had to do was beg for food, fight with wild dogs for food, steal things, get beaten up, and hide from the local ruffians to avoid being bullied by them.
But now, Roth actually wanted to take him away. He truly cared about him and was doing it for his own good. In an instant, Abel's eyes reddened. He felt a warmth that he had not felt for a long time. It melted his heart in an instant. His disguise of survival revealed the true nature of a child.
"Wa ~~" Abel hugged Rott and burst into tears. He didn't say anything. He just cried and felt the warmth.
After a long time, Abel finally stopped crying. He sobbed and said,"Uncle Rott, thank you. I'm so happy that someone finally cares about me.”Taking a deep breath, Abel continued,""Uncle, I'm sorry. I can't go with you. When the old beggar died, I promised him that I would accompany him for five years because he raised me for five years, so..."
"Abel, I know. You're a good kid. It's hard for you to have such a heart. Alright, I won't force you. I believe you can take care of yourself. When you're older, you can come to the Guild of Magic in Valencia to look for me.”
" Yes, Uncle Roat, don't worry. I'll definitely look for you in the future," Abel said firmly.
