After a couple of seconds, another speck appeared, but this ti, it was shining with a dim green light.
'Heart, huh? This one probably improves the body. Sorry, can't test this yet. Teacher said I'm not allowed to stand up during class.'
'So, what now? Still one spot remaining. What will I think about now?'
Kyle just looked forward, trying not to think about anything in particular.
Just as expected, monts later, he was suddenly really interested in how friction worked.
'Fire for the Center? Sure.'
Kyle's Center filled with Fire Ether before shooting an intense burst of Fire Ether to the spot behind it.
Within just two seconds, the transfer was completed, and just as expected, a last speck appeared.
This one was a fiery red. It looked a bit like a star.
At that mont, another burst of Ether ca from the outside.
It was just like the stream of Ether that his body had absorbed during his advancent.
This ti, the Ether only entered the different specks.
His Aspects of Power didn't receive anything.
For a couple of seconds, Kyle watched the Ether entering the specks, and as he absorbed more Ether, he suddenly started to feel… powerful.
It was like everything about him was growing stronger.
Eventually, this burst of Ether also stopped.
His specks grew a bit brighter, but they didn't change in any way.
Then, Kyle just looked around.
Nothing was happening.
No more Ether.
No more intrusive thoughts.
It was just… nothing.
Everything was normal.
'Well, I guess I'm done.'
'I've advanced.'
'I'm an Expert now.'
Kyle stood up, and it was like his body lifted by itself.
'Alright, so, sothing happened,' he thought. 'I'm just not entirely sure what.'
'Okay, let's summarize. 30% of the Ether of my advancent entered four spots. These four spots seed to be connected to my four Aspects of Power. My instincts infused each speck with a different Fragnt.'
'The first-'
Suddenly, Kyle looked to his left.
The cave was still completely silent, but sothing told Kyle that sothing was approaching.
It felt… tallic.
BANG!
The next mont, sothing broke through the walls of the cave.
'Ah, fuck. Another one,' Kyle thought as he saw the Mid tal Elental.
The tal Elental imdiately charged towards the pile of tal.
'Oh no, you don't!' Kyle thought as he started to prepare-
BOOM!
Ignition was fully prepared, and a burst of fire ca out of Kyle's body.
'Wow! That was fast!' Kyle thought.
Yet, before he could think more, the fire on his body beca over five tis as powerful.
The streak of violently burning fire coming out of Kyle's body was almost ten ters long!
WHOOOOOM!
Within an instant, Kyle was launched to speeds he couldn't have reached before his breakthrough.
He had aid at the tal Elental, but due to his unforeseen high speeds, he missed it.
'Turn around!' Kyle thought.
The fire vanished and instantly reappeared on another spot.
By now, the tal Elental had noticed that Kyle posed a danger and charged at him.
As Kyle approached the tal Elental, he noticed that he could see its movents with clarity.
It was almost obvious where it would go.
The tal Elental moved its arm towards Kyle in an attack.
Yet, Kyle just swung his hamr.
BANG!
A tallic arm shot into the distance as Kyle passed by the tal Elental.
At the sa ti, the tal Elental's body spun rapidly due to all of the power from Kyle's strike.
'Stop! Change direction!'
Once more, Ignition turned violent and changed his trajectory.
The tal Elental noticed Kyle's approach and turned liquid.
During the previous fight, Kyle hadn't been sure how to deal with that move.
But right now, he felt like he knew exactly what to do.
The fire behind him suddenly stopped, and a violent burst of smoke appeared around him.
Impact.
BOOOOM!
A huge part of the cave was covered in a massive fiery explosion, which had a diater of almost a hundred ters.
It was like a new sun had suddenly appeared inside the cave.
The Ether in the surroundings turned unstable, but Kyle could still see everything clearly.
The tal Elental increased in size as its body heated up.
At the sa ti, its body beca unstable and started to bubble in several places.
Kyle just looked at it, and his eyes imdiately focused on a small spot.
Then, with incredible speed and control, the pick of his hamr hit the small spot.
CRACK!
A tallic orb broke into pieces, scattering across the surroundings.
All the other tal of the tal Elental imdiately lost its will and started to drop to the ground like tallic rain.
It was dead.
Kyle blinked a couple of tis as he stopped Ignition.
"Huh, okay then," Kyle said, looking at the dropping tal.
This had been a short fight, but for so reason, Kyle's mind made a ton of logical connections between his strange advancent and his new power. Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn NoveI★Fire
'I see. I think, I get it,' Kyle thought.
'Every speck needs a Fragnt. The power of the Fragnt is most likely not relevant. While I categorize Fragnts into levels, they don't really have levels. Sure, so Fragnts are more useful than others, but it's all just about application.'
'Every Fragnt represents an aspect of how the world works.'
'The important part is the Elent of the Fragnt.'
'The way my body moves is much lighter, and the activation ti of the movent is much quicker. It's like my reflexes are better, and it's also like I have much less inertia.'
'The wind speck is probably related to speed.'
'The aggressive, explosive, powerful, and uncontrollable way my Center uses Ether probably ans fire increases the power of its related Aspect drastically but makes it much harder to control.'
'On the other hand, my mind and Soul seem much easier to control. There are way fewer distracting thoughts, and everything seems so much clearer. Additionally, the sensations I get from my Soul are also much clearer.'
'So, in summary.'
'Fire make violent but uncontrollable boom.'
'Wind make fast.'
'tal make control.'
Kyle quickly realized why his instincts had chosen specific Elents for specific specks.
'The more Ether I have, the better. The issue with the control can be mitigated by the increased control of my mind. The speed of my body is much greater, but my Soul gives a finer and better awareness of my surroundings.'
'Holy shit! Listening to my lizard brain actually worked out!'
"You see that, Boss? I was right! I told you!" Kyle shouted.
Silence.
"Oh yeah, right."
"Forgot about that."
