Atsuji Kurogame smiled at Yang Dao as the boy asked for his guidance. The old man said in a low voice, "It will be my pleasure and honor to guide you, young master." with that said, he featured the boy to follow him.

Even if the two people had a servant-master relationship. Yang Dao treated himself below Atsuji at this moment. When he was in the orphanage, facing the harsh cold winds of life, he realized that you can learn about everything from everywhere and from everyone, only if you have an open mindset about it.

This moment was the same. He was seeking guidance from Atsuji Kurogame, an elder. He followed him half a step behind him. The elder pulled him by his hand and said, "Even if you are a student, you can walk beside me."

After a few seconds, they came to a garden in the cantonment area. Yang Dao still had his bow tied to his waist while Atsuji Kurogame walked with a wooden cane in his hand. The old man said, "The earth represents the second state of mind. Elements are everywhere, omnipotent. However, they all have different variants. For instance, the floor beneath our feet is made up of stone tiles, but these stones are still components of the earth. Correct?"

Yang Dao nodded quietly, and Atsuji Kurogame continued, "To bend an element, we start with its most rudimentary variant. What do you think is the most basic variation of the earth element is?"

"Soil." this one-syllable spoken by Yang Dao made Atsuji Kurogame nod. The old man asked, "How is the soil made up of?"

Yang Dao replied, "Minerals?" he was quite unsure about this. So he stated the only thing he could logically come up with.

Atsuji Kurogame smiled and said, "It is more than minerals. The earth is formed when dead and living organisms combine with minerals, air, and water. This is why the earth can give birth to food and life."

Yang Dao was stunned as he heard this. This explanation was simple and reasonable. He never thought that the earth they all walk on and usually do not think about can be explained so simply and yet the importance of it was so immense. Atsuji Kurogame led him to a bench, and they sat down.

He said, "The earth resides inside us. Feng Yun must have told you that our bones and body are made up of minerals. These minerals are also present inside the womb of the planet. Life is a blend of magic and science. Magic is how a human being can resonate with the world around them and bend the elements while science can be seen as a guide to magic."

Yang Dao did not expect the old man to say something like this. Atsuji Kurogame was aware of his confusion and continued talking, "Can you tell me how the giant metallic planes fly in the air?"

The boy replied simply by saying, "They use the engines to produce thrust and keep themselves in the air."

The old man nodded and said, "Correct, but they are still riding the wind by burning minerals with fire. Are they not?"

Yang Dao thought about it and with wide eyes nodded to the old man. Atsuji Kurogame said, "Everything used by common humans is also a device they created with science to interact with magic. An Elementalist does not need these tools of science to interact with the magic of elements. This is the difference between a common man and an Elementalist."

Yang Dao knew that common humans and Elementalists were different from each other, but he had never gotten a definition to his thoughts. Today, only did he realize what a wise man was.

Atsuji Kurogame said, "You have perceived the wind inside you before. Similarly, now perceive the earth inside of you."

Yang Dao closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He moved his source of energy to perceive the earth element inside him. Atsuji Kurogame beside him shook his head with a smile but did not stop him from making a mistake.

The boy tried to perceive the earth element in his body, but he could not. It was as if he was being repelled by something. After ten minutes of continuous attempts, he calmed his mind and exhaled a deep breath. He opened his eyes and said, "Elder, I will now go back home. It is late and I have classes in the morning."

He did not tell Atsuji Kurogame about his problem of repulsion because if everything was to be spoon-fed to him, then how will he learn how to get over an obstacle. The old man nodded and sent him away. Yang Dao needed guidance, so he guided him. Now how to overcome the obstacles was his own choice.

He will help Yang Dao only when the boy is stuck and can not see a way ahead. However, knowing Yang Dao, he was aware that the boy will overcome this situation on his own. After sending him away, Atsuji Kurogame took out his mobile and called a person. The call connected after one ring and the old man said, "Clean it up. Make it look like an accident. This scum dared to betray us and even be present at the spot of destruction. Kill him the worst way possible."

The other side replied, "I will don't worry. Also, what about the rest of his contacts?"

Atsuji said, "Cleanse the forces, I don't want such a thing to happen again." his voice was opposite to how he talked with Yang Dao. He was a ruthless man. Well, he was not in the wrong. To safeguard the country, he might even shoot the premiere as well if he needed to.

...

Yang Dao rode his bike on the road slowly and calmly. The boy looked at his surroundings and he caught a sound, "Come on, don't you know how to generate the power in soccer?"

With that said, he stopped his bike and came to watch what was going on in this place.
