Ame: Hey now, remember what he said to me, there was nothing you could have done.

Sole: No, I could have. I really could have.

Ame pats him on the back. They start to head to the cart. They get in and head home in silence.

--- Insignia Chapter 23 ---

1 Day earlier.

Red: MAN this sucks! I'm not even that hurt!

He says covered in bandages.

???: Now now, hehe, be careful not to move too much. You don't want to reopen the wounds.

A young woman says. she doesn't seem much older than him.

Red: Sigh Ok Cari. I will.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

Cari: Good.

Cari begins to apply medicines. And within the training room.

Luna: How was that?

Master: It was... ok.

Luna: That bad huh?

Master: No no, it wasn't terrible. But I'm starting to get the feeling your magic affinity points somewhere else.

Luna: What does that mean?

Master: Your abilities, as an elementia usually align with one or more affinities. You can use all elements but they are stronger with your aligned element. Such as if you were fire aligned, your fire magic would be way stronger compared to wind magic.

Luna: Oh I see! Which element do you think then?

Master: I'm not sure. It could be… No, I shouldn't jump to conclusions.

Luna: Oh is there anyway to tell?

Master: Yes give me a second.

He leaves the room for a moment and brings back a piece of paper. The paper has a symbol drawn on it.

Master: Here hold this.

Luna: Uh okay? What's this for?

Master: When you say the “Magic” words it will change. Depending on the change, it will determine your affinity.

Luna: Oh that's easy enough.

Master tells Luna the words and she says them. The paper starts to ripple in an odd way, almost like its wisping around. She looks at it as it seems like two corners appear in the same place. The paper seemingly peels into two identical pieces of paper, before glowing bright and disintegrating. Master looks surprised.

Luna: What? What does that mean?

Master: So it's true. Your father was an elementia who was affinity to the normal elements. Fire, wind, light, dark, etc. Your mother on the other hand had a rare affinity.

Luna: You told me this, summoning right?

Master: Indeed. You are a summoner Luna. More specifically you're the same type of summoner as your mother.
