And just like that, two hours passed since Taufik left Olympus, and now, Taufik and the others have returned to the ship which is no longer in port, for reasons of making it easier to repair the ship.
When they arrived earlier, the crew had already begun to repair the ship, Taufik had wanted to suggest repairing the ship using his magic, but that was imdiately rejected by Marzuki, saying 'Although using your magic would be very efficient, repairing the ship with our own hands has its own aning, This will take a few days or so... So for the next few days just enjoy your free ti with your son'
So because of that, Taufik is currently helping Aksara to master his Origin Power because it is the key for Aksara to master his SwordMagic Technique completely without the need to use Mana.
Aksara has a unique constitution; he inherited what both of his parents have; he can use Divine Magic from the genes inherited from Gaia, who is a God, while from Taufik, he inherited all the uniqueness that a Vampire has. Blood Magic, which can be said to be Dark elent Magic.
From here, Aksara can already use two elents, naly the elents of light and darkness.
With these two inherited elents, Aksara can master them over ti, so in the remaining short ti, more precisely, in the next two years, Taufik will help Aksara to master other elents; this is where Aksara's unique constitution lies.
For one reason that is still unclear, Aksara can control four main elents, Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind, so far Aksara has shown two elents, naly Earth and Water, while the Wind Elent used a few days ago when fighting Fishman, was the result of him using Mana, what Aksa used at that ti was not the 'SwordMagic' technique but only an imitation of 'SwordMagic: Wind Form'. You could say it was just a 'Wind Blade' magic with Katana as a catalyst.
As ntioned earlier, Aksara is a Half God and half Vampire. And Vampire, especially because he is a direct descendant of Taufik, Aksara has the sa pure Mana as Taufik, which allows him to use all elents, and maybe because Aksara is also half Aboriginal Being helps a little.
Unlike Gaia, even though Gaia is the true Aboriginal Being, even though there is a possibility that Gaia can also use all elents, Gaia herself tends to use the earth elent or divine energy. Gaia tends to or is stronger towards the earth's elents.
In essence, even without having Imagination Magic, Aksara, with all the potential from his parents' descendants, can use all the elents that make him the perfect candidate to master Taufik's SwordMagic Technique.
That's what Taufik is trying to perfect, at least, before Taufik returns to his Tiline; Aksara has mastered all the basics; the rest, Taufik will leave to Aksara's efforts and hard work.
--------
Currently, Taufik, Aksara, and Lembuswana are in a place not far from the ship being repaired, so that Aksara's training does not disturb the crew who are repairing the ship.
Taufik and Lembuswana sat on the floor of the ship watching Aksara who was bare-chested while taking a stance with his katana and eyes closed.
"... Aksa, Feel the Essence of the Earth Elent within you, do you feel it?"
Taufik asked, hearing his father's question, Aksara nodded his head.
"Alright, do you rember what sir Axel taught you about aura? It's no different than that, but instead of Mana, channel the essence of the earth elent that you feel into your katana, it will be easy because you have mastered the earth elent to a certain level, don't rush, do it slowly"
"..."
"Ohh~ the color is Changing"
Lembuswana exclaid as he saw the black katana in Aksara's hand slowly change color to a slightly brownish color, but before it reached the tip of the katana, the brownish color slowly receded and disappeared, returning to black. After that, Aksara dropped his Katana, fell to the floor, and gasped for breath.
"... Huh? What's the problem?"
Asked Lembuswana after seeing the failure experienced by Aksara, he then looked at Taufik to find an answer.
But Taufik also frowned slightly seeing this. Then said.
"... It seems like it was my fault for not considering one important aspect of using that technique"
"Huh? Are there more others than using the essence of an elent?"
Lembuswana asked again with a confused expression clearly visible on his face.
"Yes, keep in mind, although that technique looks easy, it is the incarnation of my magic, that technique has the sa way of working as my Magic... The elental essence is used as a magnet to attract the surrounding Mana to 'create' Elental Attacks... It is a technique that combines three aspects, the first is Elental Essence, Mana, and Imagination"
"... What? Doesn't Aksara have all of that? Or are you saying that Aksara lacks Imagination?"
Hearing Lembuswana's statent, Taufik showed a troubled expression, and with a sigh that did not escape his mouth, he said.
"No, it's on the contrary, for a child at his age, Aksara has too much imagination. He is in the pre-operational stage, where he has his own world in his head where he believes that anything can happen... Or maybe Aksara still doesn't know how to gather the Mana around him... Either way, if he can't master both of them completely, he can't use the technique completely"
"... But isn't Aksa considered mature enough or even very mature for a child his age? Gaia and you were the ones who said so, did you forget?"
"... He is indeed quite mature for his age, but that is because of his strong ntal condition, but it does not affect his brain growth; after all, he is still a two-year-old child... *Sigh* This is going to be a bit difficult"
"What do you an?"
"I can teach him how to gather the Mana around and condense it... But for his 'Imagination', only ti can do sothing about it, at least Aksa needs to be seven years old or older so that his Imagination can focus on just one thing... *Sigh* This is the first ti since I beca a Vampire that I think that ti is not on my side"
"... So do you have a solution?"
"No... We can only help him master all the elents completely and help him accumulate battle experience in the next two years. The good news is Aksa is so smart that he already mastered the basics of the SwordMagic Technique... The rest, it all depends on Aksa himself"
Taufik said; he looked up; it was starting to get dark; looking at the crew, most of them had stopped their work and chose to rest. Then said.
So of the crew even had made a fire for cooking. Seeing all of this, Taufik looked back at his son.
"... Alright~ Aksa let's stop here, go wash yourself in a nearby river with Lembu, I'll go talk with your Grandpa in the anti"
"... Hmm, Lembu, let's go"
Aksara answered, then carried Lembuswana in his arms and then went to clean himself in the nearest river.
Looking at his son's back, Taufik sighed again. Then said in his mind.
'... As soone who has an almost unlimited lifeti, this ti I really feel that ti is not on my side'
Hades' words about Aksara having a hard life rang in his head again, making Taufik sigh lightly again.
'... Today, for so reason I'm sighing more than usual'
Taufik said inwardly; his eyes then caught the figure of his father, who was sitting around a campfire made by the crew.
With slightly heavy steps, Taufik walked towards where Marzuki was, hoping to get a piece of advice or two from him.
That's how, after Aksara returned from cleaning himself, they ate a simple dinner together, talking about stupid things and laughing to themselves, until sleepiness attacked them.
The day ended with Taufik having so many thoughts on his mind that he couldn't even close his eyes to rest.
The next day, they all woke up to continue their activities from yesterday.
Marzuki oversees the ship repairs, Ulf goes back and forth from the city to buy supplies, Bjorn does the rice work that suits his physical strength, and Taufik and Lembuswana back to help Aksara with his training.
The activist continued to repeat this for several days until the ship that was damaged by the Fishman attack at that ti had been completely repaired.
Which signifies that the ti to set sail again has arrived.
"... Papa, where is our next destination?"
"Don't know, go ask your grandpa... We'll just follow where they go"
"Okay!"
Aksara answered cheerfully and then went to look for Marzuki.
Seeing Aksara like that, a warm smile appeared on Taufik's face.
"... You don't look good with that kind of expression, Fik, It doesn't suit you"
"Let it be"
Said Taufik, ignoring the insults thrown by Lembuswana, and then looked towards the vast ocean with the sa smile on his face. Then added.
"... I hope ti can move slowly for the next two years"
And so, two years passed. (This ti it was true, maybe, hehehe~)
