Chapter 23

After the talk the two off them got familiar with each other. But not too long. After all they will be together with each other so they have time to do so. While talking with each other Song Weihan learned just how talented he truly was. And he looked incredibly excited about it.

"So you need light type spirit rings. Am i right?"

"Yes, light type spirit rings would be better."

"Synergy huh hmm let me see what i have."

Saying that he brought out bunch of spirit rings. But he started to sort it out while mumbling his mouth. He was just saying "Not good enough" or "Why did i bring this here this is useless". And then he stopped. Seemingly staring into nothing. "He might just do it" he says. But it seemed like he was atleast determined to find him a good spirit ring. After emptying what seemed to be his entire bag he started to call his android inside and told him to bring something.

"Sorry but it seemed like there really isn't any good spirit."

"But aren't this spirit rings light type?"

"They are not up to my standards. While i brought the best spirit they aren't good for you. You probably would be able to support 10000 year old spirit ring. While you can get yellow spirit ring that is good and rare, they are just not worth it. Spirit Padiga thought you would need yellow one not Black one. We can go back to the main branch of Spirit Padoga to get it. But it would take a while. So i thought whether you want my artificial spirit rings. They are my powerful spirit ring that i have created. After all what use does artificial spirit ring would be if they don't have any use."

"Artificial spirit rings?"

"Yes artificial spirit rings. You probably have ideas about what they are. Humanity is strong thanks to spirit rings. But after thousands of years spirit beasts are going extinct. And that would break the balance of this world. After all without them the entire world would fall apart like a domino. Many people think that they should just be gone. But in my opinion they are one of three main pillars of this world."

"Really?"

"Yes and that is why i had started to make these artificial spirit rings. With them the possibility of the two sides living together in peace and harmony exist. While it may look like a foolish dream there is still a smallest of chance that it could be possible. And that is where you come in."

"Huh me?" what does he mean by this.

"You see as much as artificial spirit rings are getting close to be completed there are still many downsides to it. First one being that it is not perfectly safe. You see while making artificial spirit rings there is a chance of failure. It may sound weird but more weaker the spirit rings are the harder it is to make them. Weaker spirit rings have so much potential that it is hard to pin point which way it would grow. While stronger spirits have the same trouble by the time that we have them finished they generally have a path they go down. Weaker spirits can grow stronger but more they grow more unstable they become. As stronger spirits tends to follow the path it has already chosen. Like whether or not that it would become attack type but with aoe damage. So yeah that is the first bad point about it. Secondly there aren't any people that would risk getting this artificial spirit as it has chance of failure. Third it only gives one ring. You understand right normally stronger spirit beast tends to give more spirit rings. But an artificial spirit ring give only one. And all this combines into reason that why artificial spirit rings aren't that sought after. Not to mention all that money that goes into making one, only to have chances of failure. So yeah it wasn't exactly the best thing ever."

"So only reason that people make them is because there is a extinction going on huh"

"Exactly. Other than few people older generation didn't really think this was a trouble until now. Well not exactly now but you get the point."

After that silence fell between them.

"Aren't you gonna ask me why i am giving you an artificial spirit ring?"

"No atleast from what i saw you wouldn't do anything that is bad for me."

"Really after all the bad things that i have said about the artificial spirit rings?"

"Yes you are my teacher. And i believe that you wouldn't do anything that is bad for me"

"Just as i thought you really might be able to accomplish my dream."

"Your dream?"

"Yes my dream. But that talk can wait let me explain everything for you."

And then he brought me to sit in the chair while he was standing over me.

"So you see as much as artificial spirits have many bad sides it also has many good sides. But all of them wouldn't work for you anyway. Atleast not traditionally. As you know you have incredibly talent and just at your first spirit ring you might even be able to support a 10000 year old spirit ring(Black spirit rings) that it self is unheard of. But there is a down side. And that is that your body can't support the ring for now. And not to mention the draw back of using such powerful spirit. But that can be gone with artificial spirit ring. While it wouldn't have any kind of consciousness it would still grow stronger with you. And since it is your first spirit ring it only needs to be useful in battle not like those spirit that give you other type of thing. Such as support or heal. While it would be useful since your spirit is light type you are probably not going to be support. So all of those draw backs are gone. But as you can see there is still one big drawback. That it has a chance to fail. But i have created rings that don't have those chances of failure. To tell you the truth the only reason why i haven't immediately decided to give you them is because there are other people who say stuff like staying pure or that kind of bullshit. And i wanted to know about your own thoughts but seeing you like this you would take it wouldn't you?"

"Indeed i was going to choose artificial ring. But would it be fine? Just giving one of your spirits away like this?"

"Of course it would be fine. And i am not just giving it away. After all you are my student not someone that i don't know. Also people like me who are at the top of the power only cares about result. And it would be great use don't you think? And if you become strong enough you can be the representation of artificial spirits so they can become more popular. So it is fine in the end Spirit Padoga would have given you a spirit ring that only fits for someone of your talent. But remember as much as you are talented don't become arrogant that is the one thing that can be your downfall in the future."
