Dragon Master: The SSS-Ranked School Belle Asked Me To Contract Her - Chapter 202

Chapter 202: Affinity
Veer had removed his disguise to see if he had any affinity to anything. But before he could actually check those, he was thrown into Chaos.

But after escaping that Floating Island, he had checked his affinity and from there on trained properly.

As he scattered another handful of sand, Veer sighed and glanced at his status.

His status has quite a lot of addition, as he had acquired many things from his journey, but they still didn’t make him as excited as he was for his affinity.

When he had gotten it, he was confused as he had expected some elemental affinity or maybe some high law affinity like death manipulation or something.

But there was just a single word written there and no explanation was given by the system. He needed to explore it’s description himself.

Even though the name was self explanatory, Veer still wanted to experiment to see what it actually meant, instead of having just guesses.

After spending a lot of time practicing on many things, he finally understood a major part of his affinity. It mostly came from its name, as it suggested.

He could master everything of this world. It was a little vague, but it made Veer very excited.

Affinities in this world worked quite simply. They simply helped one to comprehend anything related to that affinity easier than it would be for others.

For example, Elara had an affinity with Fire element and that allowed her to understand fire easier than it was for others. She could comprehend anything related to fire, even if it meant it would take a lot of time.

Of course, it didn’t mean that a person without those affinity wouldn’t be able to use those elements or concepts. After all, in this world, Imagination meant everything.

It was an absolute law.

As long as one could understand and imagine it properly, they could use any concepts.

The only thing affinities did was help in comprehending the said concepts easily. That was one of the reasons people most of the time just followed their affinity and also chose their class based on that.

Of course, there were exceptions. Elara was one of them. Technically, with her high affinity with the Fire Element, she should have become a Fire Mage.

However, she chose a different path and was still achieving success on it.

If people decided to go against their affinities and spent time comprehending something else, they would need to spend a significant more amount of time than others.

There was also a chance that it may even take someone’s whole life to understand even the basics. So, there were only a few who actually dared to go against their affinities.

As for Veer himself, he had expected to awaken either some Life or Wood magic because of his father, or something demonic because of his maternal bloodline.

But this was completely different.

With his affinity, he could comprehend any and all concepts as he long as worked hard to comprehend them.

That was why it was called All Encompassing, meaning he could master everything that permeated in the world. Any and all concepta that governed the world.

There was nothing he couldn’t comprehend and it was all be easier as he had affinity with them.

But it also created a problem. It presented him with an opportunity to master everything, but told nothing as to what should he master.

In a way, he could just start comprehending everything simultaneously which would just result in a complete failure. So, he needed to choose his start properly.

Before that, however, he had spent some time researching if he had more affinity with any particular concept. Sadly, he was even out in everything.

In the end, he had decided to master Water, Fire, and Lightning as a start. They were elemental, which meant he already had a lot of knowledge about them.

They were also one of the most useful elements as water and fire was basically necessary for survival. He could also has water to defend himself and do some minor healing.

Meanwhile, Fire and Lightning were more than enough to give him explosive power and speed. It was a perfect combo and he was very happy about it.

Veer had basically spent last one year to comprehend those three elements and had reached a greater master on them. That was one of the reasons he could control the Stormcaller Spear so easily.

But for now, he needed to relax his mind so began to practice Sand Manipulation, which he had been doing from the time they came to this floating island.

There was just sand and desert everywhere one could see, so having in such an environment helped. In such a short time, he had come to manipulate the sand to some extent.

Veer closed his eyes, stopping from his practice and going through the mistakes he might have done till now.

‘My control over Mana can help in it, but I don’t want to use Mana alone to manipulate them. I need to use as Little mana as possible while manipulating them. El takes miniscule amount of mana while manipulating her flames.’

Veer was going through everything, which helped as all the thoughts of Rain and others vanished from his mind.

‘Lets see. What do I know of sand? It’s basically rocks, but on a much smaller scale.. wait! I’m Looking at it from wrong angle.’

Veer opened his eyes, remembering something. He frowned and thought, ‘I almost forget that there are different types of sand…or rather things mixed and all. It’s nature and chemistry. Fuck I hate it. Anyway, elements are pretty simple because they aren’t mixed? Or rather less mixed?’

Veer furrowed his brows and picked up a handful of sand and closed his eyes, as he wrapped it with his mana so that he could understand it more deeply.

As his senses wandered in the sand he held in his hand, he tried to remember the things he had studied in his previous life.

‘Let’s see. It’s yellow dry sand, with damned good moister resistance. It also doesn’t hold much heat, huh. Then, maybe if I dig a little, I can get cool sand.’

Thinking of that, he opened his eyes and dropped the sand. Then, he stood up and went towards the nearest area filled with sand.

It wasn’t hard to find considering that the whole area was basically filled with rocks and sand. It was slightly lower in the canyon so he had to down.

Veer didn’t stop there as he proceeded to dig in that particular area. He kept the area of digging close, as his motives were just to see if his guesses were correct or not.

His Master Stage strength came in help, which was even more compared to other Master Stage people as he practiced the Primordial Arcane Forge.

In just a minute, he dig enough to feel the cool sand hidden beneath the pile of rocks and hot sand.

As he felt the sand in his hand, Veer smiled and thought, ‘I was right. Alright, time to get back!’

He jumped out and stopped. Finding it going around a waste of time, he just leapt up and sat on the sand dune he had created unintentionally.

Once again taking the sand in his hand, he closed his eyes and began to inspect it.

‘What exactly is sand? It’s those little rocks, no? Then, these smaller ones are silts and bigger one gravels. I see, so maybe this is also why it’s not working.’

He finally found a the problem he was facing since the start. How could he manipulate the sand easily when there were so many things mixed in it?

Not just silts and gravels, but there were also rocks with magnetic properties. There were just too many things blocking his path.

‘Maybe if I try Rock manipulation, it’ll work. Yeah, I was doing it wrong from the beginning. Let’s do this! I won’t fail this time!’

Not just silts and gravels, but there were also rocks with magnetic properties. There were just too many things blocking his path.
