"Everyone! Let's eat lunch!" Isabella shouted at his brothers.
The fighting stopped immediately and they went running towards inside their house. They entered their house energetically and they sat in the chairs. Stephen also heard and saw it so he went downstairs. Stomping the stairs hastily as he moved down.
"Stephen, come. Let's eat!" said Isabella to him as he already prepared his seat.
Stephen moved and sat at the seat his mother prepared. They all readied themselves in their chairs while the food and plates were prepared.
The soup was put on the table and they all prayed. They all finished praying and then were excited to eat..
"Let's eat!" Stephen shouted.
With it, it was a sign for them to start eating. They ate like they were very hungry because of their training. All were silently eating while they were on it.
Stephen on the contrary hastily eats and then left the table.
"I will hurry up guys, I need to cultivate my elements," he said while carrying his plate to the sink.
"Hey Stephen, run slowly or you will trip," said Isabella to him then spoon-fed her mouth.
He went upstairs and closed his door. Stomping the wooden stairs in the process. Sitting on his bed and crossed his legs on top of it.
He started meditating without further ado and imagined his next element. With the dirt that he imagines, he visualized the earth element on his hands.
By using his mana, he was slowly making dirt on his hands. Floating sand was emitted on his palm and then it hardens, becoming a rock.
Hard to press if one will touch. Surprisingly, it was very easy for Stephen to harness this element. He managed to stabilise the element in just a whim.
In his thoughts, he has a higher affinity for it and maybe different persons have different affinities with the elements.
Everyone was unique in every way like an imprint to their very soul. With it, he put the floating rock and then it became mud on the floor.
"Hmm, I also observed that each element has formed. The fire has embers, sparks, and flame. The Ice or water element has Ice form, water form, and, mist. The same with the Earth element that has sand, mud, and rock. I don't know about others but this certainly has other forms. I gotta check for more," Stephen said while looking at the earthen mud on the floor.
With it, he was very happy to have another element on his arsenal. Inhaling a deep breath and exhaling slowly, calming his nerves on the process.
He went to the next element and it was the Holy element. With it being his element already, he was having no problem making a pure white light on his palm.
He was smiling while looking at its pureness. It doesn't even have a mana consumption because it was already his element.
Thinking of it, he went to the next element he will harness, the Shadow element. Stephen thought that it will be a tough fight due to him having the Holy element already.
Even though it was hard, Stephen never doubted himself. He believes that he can master it on his own.
He visualized the darkness and the shadow and exerted effort as he used his mana. With more effort, he has managed to create a small marble of darkness.
A pure dark marble that was floating and was moving like a wavy fire on its tip. Stephen exerted more mana and it was visibly getting bigger, making its size twice from before. Even though it was hard, he was making a steady pace of control.
He was not yet halfway there but his mana has almost dried up. Alarmed, he stopped it and rested for a while. Regenerating his mana well for a while.
Thinking of it, his mana well was on the bottleneck of the third stage and will ascend to the fourth.
It was only a matter of time to make it out of the third stage. So while waiting for his mana to completely replenish, he cultivated his mana well for the meantime.
He cultivated for minutes and at last, he managed to break through the fourth stage. He breathes in and out and felt calmer than before.
Making his mana regeneration and mana well to increase.
As his mana well improved, he cultivated his Shadow element more and confidence was reignited as he knows he has far more superior mana well than before.
He used his mana once more and he imagined the element again. He used more mana output this time around and made the marble-sized dark ball of condensed Shadow element.
Making it bigger and bigger this time around. To his surprise, he was far more mana efficient this time due to his greater mana regeneration.
With a steady making and condensing of the Shadow element, he was able to gradually get the hang of it.
With more efforts, it will become more stable. He put more efforts to make it his own but the Holy element was rejecting it.
Even though it was hard, Stephen made more efforts to make it his own. He felt pain in the past when they inserted their elemental essence because the elements were fighting each other and were not stable.
Now that he was one step closer, he poured all his mana output and the ball drastically becoming bigger and more stable.
After he made it stable, Stephen collapsed and gasped air as his veins were bulging out on his forehead.
Making his Shadow element poof like a bubble. Almost his mana well has dried up entirely on the process.
Stephen laughed at the process of realizing that he has gained the said element. He summoned it again and the shadow element poofed out of his palm without mana required.
He felt that his life will forever not be the same as before. Thinking of this favor from the heroes was so big and they even go as far as giving him the elements and their job classes.
He will forever be indebted to them.
He went on to the next element which was the Nature element. Having known the element, he visualized the ever strong trees, the grasses that were swayed by the gentle breeze, and the flowers that bloomed in the spring.
He gathered his mana and made a flower to bloom on his hands. A tulip was made on his hands and roots were emerging on his palm, covering his own hands on the process.
"Wow! Such vitality coming from the said element. This is such a great element indeed," Stephen said to himself, watching the flower to blossom. Exerting more mana, he made a bouquet on his hands. Stabilizing the element faster than he thought.
The next element was a superior one, the Spirit element. He imagined it and made a ball of burning colorless cold fire on his palm.
Albeit not so great, he still managed to create it so fast. He used more mana and the fire was burning more and more.
Getting bigger and bigger as he applied more. After a while, he managed to stabilise it without efforts.
Thinking that it was an element meant for him. After mastering it all, he summoned all the ten elements that he has mastered and cultivated them at the same time.
Floating elements were on his back and were having different colors. After a while, he managed to sustain it all for a minute while crossed legs on the bed.
He exhausted his mana once more and he felt that the elements were harmonious with each other. Now that he has them, he felt more confident than before.
All of this was because he helped an old person in the street and ended up becoming his masters. Becoming his brothers at the same time.
"This elements will be my stepping stone to rise above all. But I still need to hide that I am a wielder of the ten elements. I don't want to have unwanted attention and it was what disturbes me the most," Stephen concluded with determination in his eyes.
