"Here."
Seraphine spoke as space in front of Eden rippled before something fell, and he caught it with his free hand.
Eden inspected the thing in his hands.
It was a bracelet once more, but this time it was in a golden color. The color was not the only difference, as the bracelet also felt heavy, but not from its weight, but from its presence.
Just like the white one he was wearing, it was unknown to Eden. What was this thing also made up of?
Upon seeing the bracelet, Eden was quite pleased.
'Finally.'
Eden was not a horndog; like, wherever there was a hole, he would put his dick in or become horny just by seeing a beautiful woman.
But he wouldn't refuse if a golden platter was presented before him.
Still, the reason behind his hiding his awakening was not only so he could fuck the girls in the awakening ceremony.
There was another reason, too.
Even though he was unconsciously adjusting to this transmigration and not asking any questions.
A part of him still wanted to make sure to have some advantage if some fuck-ups happened.
That's why he wanted to keep the fact that he was a prodigy a secret, and this was also the reason that he didn't think, tell, or ask about the fact that Seraphine couldn't sense his fourth element.
Still, he couldn't help but look at Seraphine in confusion, because he thought there would be questions asked about why he was hiding that he was a prodigy.
But there were none.
Seeing Eden looking at her, Seraphine just smiled.
She couldn't know the thoughts of a living being, but this didn't mean that she couldn't sense its emotion.
She could sense anxiety, confusion, and many more emotions from the boy standing before her.
She also knew the boy was speaking the truth when he was about to answer her.
So, she gave him the artifact.
And why he wanted to keep the fact that he was a prodigy a secret.
This was not the first time a person wanted to keep that they were a prodigy.
And also, it didn't matter to her much, so she didn't ask.
"Your sister will take care of you till before your awakening ceremony. After that, your real training will start."
Seraphine spoke, stretching her hands over her head as her ab muscles flexed, before vanishing from the spot.
Looking at the empty space before him. Eden blinked before his eyes darted around the surroundings.
"Is she gone?" He asked incredulously.
"No," Aurelia replied as she turned her face backward.
Hearing her, Eden also turned his head towards the direction she was looking and saw Seraphine sitting near a tree on their backside, her back resting on its trunk and her legs crossed, as she ate an apple.
"What are you two looking at?" She spoke between her bites before looking at Aurelia and pointing at Eden as she added.
"He still hadn't formed an Essence core. Will you help tell him how to do it, or do you want me to do it too?"
"I will," Aurelia replied.
...
EDEN'S POV
Following my sister's response to her master's question, we both sat on the ground, cross-legged, facing each other, while her master was still sitting and eating an apple while looking at us.
After sitting, my sister explained how to form an Essence core.
She told me I was breathing Essence already, even though unconsciously, and Essence was already affecting my body and flowing through my blood.
Now I just have to sense the flow and concentrate it in my stomach area, forming an Essence core there, where Essence will be stored.
The way she was speaking about these things made them look like the easiest thing in the world to do.
And she was just telling me how to do it; she could not help me form one. So, I have to do it myself.
After the formation of Essence Core. I have to circulate the essence in my body, after which I will be able to sense my elements.
"Ready?" My sister asked, looking at me, her eyes full of surety, as if the event that was going to take place next was going to be nothing for me.
Looking at her, I smiled before I closed my eyes and exhaled deeply.
"Hu...!"
After opening them again, I replied.
"Yes."
As I gave her both bracelets—the white one that I was wearing and the gold one that I just got from her master.
Taking the bracelets from my hands, she kept them in the ring—the storage artifact.
After giving her the bracelets, I exhaled once more, trying to ease my nervousness as I got ready for the task.
But before I could focus on the task, a voice sounded just next to me, startling me.
"Don't think much. It's very easy. Just close your eyes and try to focus your flow of Essence to your stomach's core." My sister's master's voice echoed from the side suddenly.
I looked at her, my eyes moving towards the tree she was lying under before moving to her again.
One moment she was lying near the tree, and the next moment she was standing next to me.
"Don't act like a startled cat." She spoke again, cutting through my confusion, while looking at me.
'Who wouldn't get startled if someone suddenly came next to them? ' I thought, looking at her incredulously.
Seeing my incredulous expression, she spoke once again.
"Instead of talking to yourself, focus on what you have to do."
Hearing her words again, I closed my eyes, not to let my annoyance show up and to focus on the main thing in front of me, as I regulated my breathing.
After a few moments, I steadied my emotions before trying to sink deeper into my consciousness, as my sister had explained, while trying to sense the Essence flowing in my body.
...
While Eden was trying his best to sense the flow of Essence in his body.
Aurelia and Seraphine were looking at him with different gazes.
While Aurelia's eyes were filled with certainty that her brother would succeed in forming the Essence core.
Seraphine was looking at him with curious eyes.
If she wanted, she could help him form an Essence Core without this hassle.
But she didn't want to do that.
If he didn't succeed in forming the Essence Core without any help, just like his sister did.
Then only, she would help him.
