THE REINCARNATED WITH THE STRONGEST SYSTEM

Chapter 22: The Power of the Elements

“Murid Thunder..,” murmured William. 'Prestige Class? How is it different from other classes? I had to reach Job level 40 on two separate job classes to open this job class…'

At first, William was confused, but it only lasted a moment. His confusion was replaced with excitement as the hand holding the Stormcaller trembled with excitement.

When James heard William mutter the word "Murid Thunder", his heart skipped a beat. This was a secret passed down through their family lineage, and only those with the Ainsworth Family lineage knew the importance of the Stormcaller.

“B-how?” James asked. His voice trembled with fear and excitement.

William took a few deep breaths to calm down. He then looked at his grandfather with sparkling eyes as if he had found an incredible toy.

“Those who can use this spear will be able to get a profession called 'Thunder Disciple',” replied William honestly. "However, I can't study this profession for now."

"For the moment?" Mordred asked. “That means, you can learn it in the future?”

"Yes." Yeah." William acknowledged. "At most, I need two to three years to reach the minimum requirement."

“Only two to three years? Nice." James clenched his fists as a wide grin appeared on his face. “Then, from now on, this spear is yours!”

"Throughout?!" William gasp. “Thank you, Grandpa!”

"Ha ha ha!" James patted William on the shoulder. “No need to thank me. However, there is something important that I have to say to you. Please sit down."

William complied and sat on the sofa. James sat down beside her and looked at his grandson with a complicated look.

"Let me tell you something about the power of the elements," James said after arranging his thoughts.

"Elementary power?" ask William.

"Yes." Yeah." James nodded his head. “You can ask me later. Let me finish my explanation first. ”

William sat down properly and looked at his grandfather with a serious expression. Looking at his grandson's face, James could not nod in agreement. He then cleared his throat to begin his explanation.

“Among the power of the elements, the most common is fire,” James explained. “Almost all magicians can use this element. Even those who do not have an affinity for the fire element can use it to some extent. Of course, there are also magicians who can only use elements that have an interest in them.”

James paused for a moment to let William understand his lecture. “Castle walls, bridges, houses, and other structures can be created using the power of Earth. It is also a very stable Element that is widely used for defense. Among all the elements, Earth is the most powerful of all.”

“Then we have Wind. This element was used the most by the elves. You can even say that every elf was born with an affinity for the Wind Element. Of course, some of them are also blessed with Life and Light magic, but we will talk about it later.”

“Wind can be as gentle as a breeze and as sharp as a knife. This allows those who use it the power of flight. Of course, if you reach a certain level of expertise, you will also be able to fly freely in the sky.”

“Next is water. Water is an element of life. Just like the air we breathe, we need it to live. These elements can be as calm as a calm lake, or as hard as a tsunami. If you meet someone who has an interest in water magic, you better treat them well.”

“They are the most supportive friends, and the most condensed enemies. If you can't be friends with them, make sure you don't offend them.” James chuckles. “Your grandmother was a sage who specialized in Water Magic. She's the most incredible woman I've ever met in my life.”

James' lips quivered as he recalled his late wife. William could see the change in his grandfather's expression, so he held the old man's hand to give him support.

"Don't worry. He is now in a better place and watching us,” James smiled then continued his explanation. “All other elements exist in the world, branching off from the four basic elements of Fire, Earth, Wind, and Air.”

“Of course there are exceptions to this rule which includes Space, Time, Light, and Darkness magic. Ice magic is a branch of water magic. Some strengths are made from a combination of two or more elements. However, among these, there is one special element that stands above everything and that is. Lightning Magic.”.

"The magic that stands above everything?" ask William. “Do not tell me..”.

James grinned. “The lightning magic is said to be a power possessed by the heroes. Anyone who could learn this magic would be sought after by the powers in the continent and raised with great care. Of course, there were also factions that hated these so-called heroes and among them was the Devil Race.”

“However, the first heroes are called to defeat the Demon King who terrorized this land, over several thousand years ago. Of course, the most famous of them all is none other than our ancestor, Claude Von Ainsworth.

With the Stormcaller in his hand, he summoned the Heavenly Lightning to purify the land from the corruption of the Demon Race.”

“Since then, the demons have gone up and out to kill anyone using the lightning element. So, brat, make sure not to use this power lightly. When this power is revealed, it will be the same time that your life will change forever. Remember this and remember carefully!”

"I understand." William nodded his head. "Grandfather, I will not use this power lightly."

"As long as you understand then that's good." James patted the boy's head. “The ring on your necklace is also a storage ring. You can keep our family heirloom in it, but you have to promise me that you will keep it safe. ”

"I promise, Grandpa," William patted his chest. "As long as I'm alive, no one can touch our family's priceless treasure."
