The Youngest Sin

Advancement

The exchange concluded with Leroy. All of them successfully passed the exchange. Here are the exchange conclusions to every single one of them in order.

Harris>Battlemage>Metal type

Verette>Light Mage>Crowd control type

Taro>Paladin>Strengthening type

Rica>Acolyte>Water type

Clara>Summoner>Earth type

Leroy>Dark Mage>Dark type

"Dark type huh?"

"Am I really that kind of guy?"

Leroy said while looking at the others faces.

"Don't let it bother you, the All-Seeing eye of Karu only shows the concentration type that suits you best. Those types runs through your blood, in your whole bloodline."

Rai said while packing the ball.

Harris walked towards Rai.

"You are saying that, the whole class assessment about our family was wrong all along?"

Rai looked at him and sighed.

"Yes, I know it is sad but it is the truth. Do you wonder why some persons in your bloodline are considered genius and powerful?"

Rai asked as he sat down in the stone bench.

"Because they happened to stumble on the right class"

Verette answered while shocked at the conclusion she had.

"Bingo"

"No way"

"Theres so much mystery about concentration"

"What do we do next, Rai?"

Harris asked Rai

"Don't tell me they are going to seal their concentration like I did"

Charles mutyered as he realized that concentration embodiment is a technique they should acquire in order to acquire strength in just a short period of time.

"These guys want strength, so were just going to use that cheat"

Charles had a terrified look in his face.

The others knew how he felt, the backfire of the technique is dangerous in a whole new level.

"You worry that you will not grow with them, right?"

Charles nodded in frustration, Rai patted his shoulder.

"Where is the usual enthusiastic llok on your face?"

Rai said while smiling. Then whispered.

"Practice that technique everyday, so that your element will evolve into a whole new type. Once that happens, even if you face a horde of monsters like you encountered. They will be swept like ants."

Charles smiled as he thanked Rai.

"I will keep no secrets from you guys so I'll tell you."

Everyone looked at Rai, waiting for the next thing that will come out of his mouth.

"If you practice the technique everyday, the pain slowly rot away. Your body will learn how to manage with the pain. There is more benefits in using this technique than harm. The pain you will suffer from the technique will shape your body, it is like training your body and strengthening it as well. And the last thing about the technique"

Everyone was listening to him intensely. Rai sighed as he was about to tell them.

"Practicing that technique everyday will transform your type into a different but more powerful type. But beware, do not swallow a concentrated orb like our friend here did"

Charles was embarassed about his action during the match.

Everyone looked at him trying to hold back their laughter.

"Oh come on, I was desperate, what do you think I should have done?"

Clara laughed, she could not hold it anymore.

"Hahaha, we know, we know. So stop making excuses geez."

Clara patted Charles back while laughing. Rai cleared his throat.

"You guys start with a large orb, you can adjust its size when you are used to the pain. Be careful, this technique might take your life."

After Rai warned them, they say on whereever they found comfortable.

"It's getting a little late, just use minimalization then swallow the orb."

"Rai, what would happen if I were to crush the orb with my teeth?"

Rai's eyes widened after Verette asked her question. It raung on his ears for a few minutes, then he turned to Verette. The others was surprised about Rai's reaction.

"Rai, you okay?"

Charles shaked Rai's shoulders. The others became worried so they walked towards Rai.

"You okay?"

"What's wrong Rai? Should I have not asked?"

Verette said with a sad tone. Rai turned to them while crying, they never thought Rai would shed tears over a question such as that. It made Verette feel more horrible after seeing Rai cry.

"Huff, huff, You guys have to promise me one thing"

They nodded the instant Rai asked.

"You are never to do "that" that is the only rule that I will impose to you, the new users of Concentration Embodiment and to the others in the future."

Verette stood beside Rai and wiped his tears. Rai declined her offer but she insisted.

"You don't have to, you know"

"It's okay it was my fault in the first place"

"You'll start wierd rumors you know?"

Verette forgot that they were with other people, she started getting red and embarassed.

"I didn't know they were a thing"

Clara scratched her head. Harris and Leroy just smile at Clara's remarks Taro only sighed, and Rica yawned. And our boy, Charles? You know what he is going to do.

"After all that emotional moment just a second ago, please spare us the sweet scene. I'm getting jealous you know! Hahahaha!"

Charles really know how to piss off and destroy the moment.

"You know Charles, you really have a talent for ruining the mood, why not make it your profession?"

Rica pinched his back while laughing.

"Ouch, you may have healed me but it still hurts"

Rai chuckled after knowing that the others got close to each other.

"You could have just backed down you know."

"What?! Back down from that arrogant fool?"

Charles glared at Rica(though the glare was directed at Kael, Rica knew and decided to let it go), thats what I thought but Rica is a loose cannon, she even ignore my directions-

"Tak!"

"Ouch!"

Rica just karate-chopped his head, it wasn't suppose to happen but its too late to undo what has been done.

"That's no way to talk to a girl"

Rica's nerves was visible beside her eyes.

Her annoyed looked really dangerous, even Harris and Leroy looked the other way. Taro shooked her head and Clara just did a facepalm.

Rai and Verette were surprised as well.

"Let's just stop here, I don't want to worsen Charles' condition."

Rica returned to her calm self and apologized for her actions.

They called it a day and decided to go home for today.

"I think my role in this team is decided"

Charles scratched his head. Rai smiled and ruined his hair.

"I think it is going to be fun"

They went on towards their homes.

The next day when they coincidentally met at the achool gates. A shocking news reached their ears, and surprised their whole team.

"Rai, the Vanity's Guildmaster has come. He says he came for you"

Rai's classmate, a mob character told them. Sweat was running down from his head. Looks like this poor soul has been running around looking for Rai.
