Chapter 23: First Contract
"Velcrissa," Vlad said gently, placing a hand on her trembling shoulder. The young girl looked up, meeting his eyes, uncertain and hesitant.
"What color of aura do you see around me?" he asked, his voice calm but steady. "Deep and rich green... and then a light shade of blue," she murmured after a pause, her voice soft, almost surprised by her own answer.
When a spirit was summoned using the spirit summoning circle, the spirit would radiate an aura, and so would the summoner in the eyes of the spirit.
The first layer of their aura describes their elemental affinity, and the second layer their qualification.
The green represents Vlad’s greater grade affinity with the poison element, and the light blue represents his achievement in life on a global scale.
The color of the qualification aura was divided into seven ranks, the same as the seven stages of the mana core: White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet, and Black.
The pale blue aura marked his remarkable achievement, placing Vlad among the elite, one of the top contenders in the world.
Velcrissa, on the other hand, had a muddy green aura representing her elemental affinity. Her aura was dark and related to diseases and decay.
Surrounding the green were hues of red mixed in white, showing she had little to achievement in life.
"You see, I’m not just some nobody, and I see real potential in you," Vlad said, his voice calm but firm, pulling Velcrissa from her shocked silence.
"I know ways to help you grow stronger. And once your illness is cured... you will be far more powerful than you think you could be."
