Thanks to me and Arthur not having to use any of our elements until now, no one other than Miras knew we were quadruple elementals, while it's mostly useful for fighting, thanks to Miras' training I knew that being able to manipulate all four elements would allow you to influence the very fabric of existence.

If we imbued mana of all four elements into a person we could awaken their dormant mana, meaning we can turn normal humans into mages, help mages awaken faster, and even transfer mana!

"What do you mean help her awaken?" Gramps narrowed his eyes on me.

"Uh... Arthur and I are quadruple elementals..." I mumbled scratching my cheek.

Gramps just stared at me blinking, before finally saying something "Hahaha, good joke brat, a quadruple elemental is imposi-" He was quickly cut off by Arthur using all four elements.

Gramps just stared wide-eyed at Arthur, as he started speaking so quickly 'ohmygodtwoquadrupleelementalsnotjustoneohmygod.' As if that wasn't enough he started mumbling something about deities.

Finally, Virion just shook his head and smirked. "Haha! My first disciple is a quadruple elemental. And who knows, maybe I'll become his grandpa-in-law. " He shot Arthur another wink.

Gramps and I chuckled as Tessia's and Arthur's eyes widened in response before continuing. "What I need from you starting now is your utmost diligence. Even I'm not sure how long it'll take for you to master the basics of your beast's will. In my two hundred years of living, I've never seen a quadruple elemental, let alone a beast tamer at that, but here I am training two. You're going to bring big changes into this world brats. I just know it. "

"Go to sleep now brats! Tomorrow is going to be a long day. You'll need the rest. "

I got up and bowed before wishing him goodnight. "Goodnight Gramps."

He chuckled, waving us off and I plopped into my bed, too tired to even get under the covers.

One of my favorite activities would be watching Tess wake Art up and then tease them about being a couple, Tess would always chase me down the hall to make sure I stop teasing them.

Watching Tess walk towards Art's room I followed her and leaned against the door frame to watch the show, I got ready to augment myself to escape Tess after teasing them.

"Hey, Art! Hurry up! We're going to be late!"

"AAAGGHHHH!! Tess! Stop! I give! I GIVE!" Arthur cried out. 

Tess finally got off of Arthur, letting go of the leg lock she had in a firm grip. "Can't there a gentler way of waking me up, Tess?" Arthur grumbled, massaging the feeling back into his leg.

"It's getting harder and harder to wake you up in the morning! I have to do something, right? Besides, you should be grateful such a pretty lady is waking you up every morning. " She fluttered her eyes at Arthur. 

Arthur mumbled something under his breath, she must've heard because that earned me a firm squeeze to the side.

"Arthur, you're going to have to get used to waking up like this, otherwise you might divorce Tess in less than a day." I teased. 

Tessia quickly turned around and conjured wind to speed up, I quickly augmented myself and sprinted off in the hallway being followed by two demon-like figures, Tessia changed a lot after her awakening.

Tess had awakened fast, even for an elf. It happened last year and boy did she awaken with a bang. It wasn't as big as when Arthur had first awakened let alone my explosion, but she had managed to destroy her room upstairs, fall down, and create a small crater from the implosion in the kitchen right below. Since then, she's been joining Arthur and me in training with Gramps. All I can say is, since awakening, she's become a lot more confident and bold, in more bad ways than good. She knows how strong Arthur's body was so she had no hesitation in using him as her sandbag as she tried new spells that she learned from Grandpa Virion and other conjurer teachers.
