-1256- The hidden true ability

Throughout, Stella has been regarded as a pyrokineticist, a natural interference type ability user who can manipulate flames.

Her flames can reach temperatures of up to three thousand degrees Celsius, almost able to incinerate any tangible object.

She can also apply her fire control abilities to develop various Blazer techniques, as flexible and varied as using magic to accomplish various tasks.

However, as Rozen pointed out, aside from the other Blazer techniques, Stella's Dragon Stomp hardly qualifies as a Blazer technique.

Considering its principle, that move is actually quite simple, relying on sheer force to stomp the ground, causing massive destruction and vibration within a certain range.

But Stella's ability is to manipulate flames as a natural interference type pyrokineticist, not the brute strength of a physical enhancement type.

Blazer techniques utilize one's Device and abilities to exercise extraordinary powers. Stella, as a pyrokineticist, her Blazer techniques should all be related to flames. This Dragon Stomp isn't something a pyrokineticist should be able to use as a Blazer technique.

What does this signify?

Stella isn't foolish. Reminded of this easily overlooked crucial issue, she became uncertain and apprehensive.

"Could it be that I'm not a natural interference type?"

Just thinking about it made Stella tremble.

After all, if that were the case, it would mean Stella had misunderstood her abilities all along, using her powers in a wrong way.

But that's not so uncommon.

"Blazers aren't born knowing how to use their abilities; they awaken to their powers one day, discovering they can use supernatural abilities," Rozen said to Stella. "You should be no different. You didn't start out able to use your powers; you awakened to them one day as you grew up, right?"

Indeed.

Stella wasn't born with powers; one day in her life, her ability suddenly awakened, and she realized she was a Blazer, possessing the strongest magical power.

At that time, Stella was with people around her, and suddenly her whole body caught fire, burning everything around her, even herself was difficult to avoid being burned.

The pain at that time was truly indescribable.

It can be said that if it weren't for the adults around her who completely disregarded Stella's flames, always holding her, comforting her, telling her not to be afraid, perhaps Stella would have been burned to death by her own flames long ago.

So, Stella determined to use this power to protect the people around her, to protect her country.

But...

"Seeing that you can emit flames, you thought you were a pyrokineticist, but that was actually wrong," Rozen said.

"Many Blazers are like this; when they first awaken to their abilities, there's a good chance they misunderstand their abilities. After all, there aren't any instruments in this world that can accurately test a Blazer's abilities and tell you what your abilities are."

Seeing oneself able to emit flames and thinking one's ability is to manipulate fire, when in fact one's ability is to freely manipulate thermal energy, whether high or low temperature, is just one example.

Seeing oneself able to conjure storms and thinking one's ability is to manipulate wind, when in fact it's to manipulate air pressure to create hurricanes, is another.

Similar situations like this often happen to Blazers who have just awakened to their abilities.

Afterward, Blazers gradually realize their abilities are different from what they initially believed and slowly understand their true abilities. This is a process that many Blazers go through.

But Stella is different.

"Because of the overwhelming strength of your magical power, even if you misunderstood your abilities, you were still incredibly strong. Plus, there aren't many strong Blazers within the Vermillion Empire, so you didn't have any opponents of your own, resulting in you fighting all the way to now with this mistaken ability. At the same time, you're still mistaken now, such a situation as yours is actually quite rare."

Rozen sighed with emotion at this.

However, what Rozen said was nothing less than a thunderbolt for Stella.

After all, Rozen's meaning in his words was very clear.

"You haven't used all your power yet, just a fraction of it. So, I ask you, are you sure you've given it your all?" Rozen said with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

In other words...

"If you can understand your true abilities correctly and unleash your true power, then your strength could probably increase several times, or even dozens of times?" Rozen's words not only shocked Stella but also stunned Ikki and Shizuku who were approaching.

"Her strength..."

Ikki looked at Stella.

"Could it really increase several times over?" Shizuku also took a deep breath.

Looking at the area around them completely turned into scorched earth, until just now it was a scene of raging flames and chaos, Ikki and Shizuku couldn't believe it. Stella, who possessed such a level of power, could still become several times stronger.

If that were really the case, how strong would Stella become?

Are there still opponents for Stella within the Seven Knights Academy?

It should be said that even in the Union, if we consider the A-rank Union, how many people could be opponents for Stella at that time?

Just thinking about it, Ikki and Shizuku dared not continue to think further.

But...

"You are the owner of the world's strongest magical power," Rozen said word by word.

"You underestimate yourself too much. Because of your diligence and hard work, you think you still need more training to become stronger. In reality, your magical power is stronger than anyone else on this planet, and your destiny is more significant than anyone else on this planet. With you being like this, how could your abilities be ordinary, or only to that extent?"

As mentioned before, although Stella is not yet the strongest in the world, she will eventually become the true strongest in the world.

Because Stella has such abilities, such talent.

She shouldn't underestimate herself.

"Your greatness is innate; you should be more confident and proud," Rozen advised Stella.

Only then did Stella react.

"T-then... what is my true ability? Do you know?" Stella rushed to Rozen's front, tightly grabbing Rozen's collar, pulling it down, and bringing it close to her face.

The distance between the two faces suddenly shortened to just a few centimeters.

But Stella didn't realize it at all, just excitedly and nervously staring at Rozen.

Coming to this academy, Stella's goal was to become stronger.

Now, with an opportunity to increase her strength several times or even dozens of times right in front of her, how could Stella not feel excited and nervous?

And Rozen just smiled slightly, calmly speaking out.

"Although I don't know what your true ability is, I have some guesses."

That's it.

Rozen has long had some guesses about Stella's abilities.
