Chapter 91 - 92
"If you’re teaching her basic elemental magic, then why water? That’ll be quite difficult for her considering that she has an affinity for fire."
As if forgetting her former sadness, Anice sat up with sudden pride and began to brag. "What do you know? Teacher says that I have an affinity for water, too!"
"Really? Congratulations then."
This wasn’t too surprising, since it was fairly common for nobles to have more than one affinity, not to mention that many people didn’t awaken to their first or secondary affinities until years after they had come into their magics. Take his friends, for instance. They were all thirteen or fourteen years old and none of them had fully come into their magics yet—which was on the late end of the spectrum—let alone any possible attributes. Since Anice was a Silverkin, it made sense that she had a natural compatibility with the energies that lived within water. As for her innate compatibility with fire, she had inherited this from her mother just as he had from his father.
"That’s it? You could at least show a better reaction."
He forced a cough. "You’re my cousin. Of course you have two affinities."
"Hehe, exactly. You should buy me some sweets at the market tomorrow to congratulate me."
"I just congratulated you though."
