Upgrading!

'Is that it?' Sora thinks while looking at the statue before him, Sora turns towards the boy and asks "Is there anything else I am supposed to do?"

"No, not really the only other things you can do is show your skill with magic, weapons or martial arts"

"Well I'm a beginner in magic and I only know some basic martial arts so I don't really have any skills to show"

"Haha, that is fine don't worry about it. We also teach martial arts and weapon arts so you could also study here. Of course, it does cost money." The boy says.

"Ahh, I see, well I don't have much time anyway I should get going," Sora says while scratching his head.

"Alright then, If you ever want to you can come and learn here anytime," The boy says with a wave.

"Thank you very much!" Sora waves back and leaves.

"Ahh, I forgot to ask for her name. Well, that's fine I'll ask her if she comes back." The boy remembers while looking towards the gate. As he is standing there his grandfather approaches him.

"Why did that lass come?" The old man asks surprising the boy.

"Oh, she choose Meorus as her lead god," The boy says

"I see, let's go dinner is ready," The old man says as he walks away.

"Mhm," The boy nods as he follows.

~back to Sora

'I'll upgrade my armor with Ice first since I can't use thunder mana yet.' While thinking and walking down the stairs Sora notices Taki waiting in front of the cart.

"Did you finish?" Sora asks.

"Yea, you?" Taki answers as she gets inside the cart.

"Of course." Sora waits for her to get in.

"By the way, is there any way to get an element affinity without further evolving your current ones?" Sora asks as he gets inside.

"Hmm, if you were a normal human right now no... but with... Wait what element do you want?" Taki stops and asks.

"Thunder" Sora answers.

"Mhm," Taki holds out her hand and pulls a yellow stone out of her ring. "Eat this."

"Just eat it?" Sora asks dumbfounded.

"Yes," Taki answers impatiently.

"Haa, alright then." Sora takes it and puts it in his mouth. 'Its tasteless...'

"Swallow it"

"okay" *gulp*

*Bzzzt*

"What was thaaaaaaaaaAAATTT" As Sora talks he feels a sudden shock go through his stomach, and it begins to spread out through his whole body. Sparks of thunder appearing on his body

Sora clenches his teeth and endures it, soon enough the pain slowly fades even though sparks still appear through his body. After a bit more a purple screen appears in front of him.

Thunder Affinity gained~

MP: 147/147

'What... It gave me the Affinity and also raised my mana... isn't this to op?? Beforehand I had 122 mana from circulating it.' Sora looks at Taki "What is that stone isn't this to overpowered? It gave me the affinity and more mana!"

"That is a thunder-stone it can give the thunder affinity to the person that eats it but it usually injures them but since you have strong regeneration and perfect talent eating one isn't a problem. Usually, people have to prepare other resources like healing pills. And it raised your mana because your body adapted to it."

"Is it expensive?" Sora asks

"The thunder one is a bit expensive while something like earth or water wouldn't be, also I didn't mention they are used during weapon and armor making before applying a core, To give the metal more affinity with the element."

"I see well thank you very much" Sora does a little bow.

"Don't worry about it." Taki says with a smile "Of course you'll have to repay me for it"

"Yes yes I know," Sora says with a sigh.

"Well, I am going to upgrade my new toys if you don't mind."

"Not at all," Taki says as she closes her eyes to rest and think.

'Upgrade!' Sora screams in his head full of excitement as he begins with the armor, making and ice upgrade spell.

Obj: River Armor +1(Ice)

Har: 275/275

Mb: Water affinity 75%(Ice 7.5%)

SpA: Liquid Body

'Huh, it seems it might turn in to Ice but how much affinity will it have? Will it be 75 water 75 ice or will the water turn in to ice?'

~ Sometime later

Obj: Frozen River Armor+5

Har: 500/500

Mb: Ice Affinity 150%

SpA: Ice Body*, Freezing attack*

Ice Body- Turns the armor and the wearer's body into ice, during this state the armor will absorb ice mana out of the surrounding and repair any broken pieces or any missing body parts.

Freezing Attack- Any impact against the body of the wearer or against the wielded weapon will cause freezing damage.

'HOHO, that is so overpowered as expected of the upgrade skill, it seems that the Ice Affinity turned the water affinity into Ice, well let's upgrade the spear next just give me a few minutes to regenerate and get used to thunder mana and regenerate more.'

The armor has turned in to a lighter shade of blue with a few changes as well as gaining a cold aura.

a dozen or so minutes later~

Lighting Affinity Lvl 2~

'Alright I am ready, let's see what happens!' Sora once again starts forming the upgrade circle, this time with thunder mana, which was quite hard to do as it was unsteady but he luckily did it successfully.

Again sometime later~

Obj: Thunder River Spear+5

Har: 350/350

Sha: 250

Mb: Water Affinity 75%, Thunder Affinity 75%

SpA: Thunder Tide*, Thunder Spear*

Thunder Tide- Whenever the spear is swung, a tide will follow, the tide is filled with savage arcing thunderbolts.

Thunder Spear- Sends a spear of thunder from the spear, wherever the spear points.

The spear has gained markings on the sides of the blades and spear tip that looked like thunderbolts, the ribbon has also gained a thunderbolt mark and the core on the bottom has gained a few jagged yellow lines.

'Hoho so it works together? How should I further upgrade it? should I upgrade once with lighting and once with water or try to make a 50/50 circle? The elements fused together... What would happen if they were opposing elements like water and fire?'

'So many questions' Sora thinks for a while until his thoughts are stopped by a voice.

"We are back!" Taki shakes Sora awake from his thoughts.

"Oh, I spaced out" Sora shakes his head.

"Well go to your room and rest we need to be well-rested so that if there is an attack we are ready for it."

"Mhm, you are right, and I am pretty tired," Sora says as he stops himself from yawning.

"Mhm good night then," Taki says as she walks away

"Good night," Sora says as he stands there for a bit, and then goes to his room.
