Who's Stronger?

The teenage boy who looked to be around her age stood taller than her with his short obsidian hair, pale skin, and eyes that reminded her of the color of blood. His handsome face showed no signs of fear as he swiftly dealt with the fire mage using dark magic, which surprised her.

There had been rumors that had been around since the discovery of magic that the element you awakened at birth was connected to your personality. Many mages had conducted research and wrote their own books on the subject yet it was still a popular topic up for debate.

From Elizabeth's experience, she believed this to be true. She had run into a few dark mages during those three years and they all acted the same, cowardly and weak.

Their magic was barely able to harm monsters and if they sensed any kind of danger to their wellbeing, they would hide in the shadows and let the rest of the party deal with it.

Yet, this person was different, he was courageous and strong.
