'Hmmm!'
The first thing Aaron noticed was that his Mana Armor Skill was changed from being an Active-Skill to a Passive-Skill.
'No wonder I was surprised that my M/Def was quite high even though Mana Armor wasn't active.' He thought before counting the leaves on the new Skill-Branch, 'One, two... Seven Skills huh!
Some of these New Skills were unavailable for him to unlock because the kid doesn't have enough Skill Points or there's some kind of restriction which he's required to fulfill beforehand like unlocking or Leveling-UP certain Skills first.
But among all of them the one which caught Aaron's attention the most was this Skill.
Elemental Expert Become an expert of the elements to free you from elemental restrictions on all your skills
'Does that mean I get to use Air instead of Fire on my Flame Orb Skill and Fire instead of Air on my Energy Bolt Skill?
'I know it sounds ridiculous but this Elemental Expert Skill clearly says I can!
'It costs 2 Skill Points to Unlock this Skill which is practically all I've got on me right now, should I go for it?
High Wisdom Permanently increase the Intelligence and Wisdom Attributes through mental discipline
'This one isn't also isn't so bad but... I have to admit that I'm already tempted.' Aaron thought before using all of his Skill Points to unlock the leaf on the Skill-Branch where the Elemental Expert Skill is located because he could almost swear that it's calling to him.
Elemental Expert Become an expert of the elements to free you from elemental restrictions on all your skills Elemental Expert Level 1 (Max Level) Elemental Resistance All +50% Note
* Host gains full access to all 9 elements to manipulate according to his wish.
* Effect depends on M/Attk & Element Resistance.
* Lower Element Resistance critically affects the result of Skill Activation.
* M/Attk has minimal effect to Skill Activation but sharply affect end result.
"Damn!" Aaron gawked because the leaf of that Elemental Expert immediately withered and died then fell off while a new Skill-Branch grew from its location and had 9 leaves!
"What? How dare you be unsatisfied while being treated like a king of kings?" Lucy snapped while hugging the boy and both of her sisters tightly to enjoy this moment more, meanwhile Paws was purring from pleaser within this squeeze.
'I never asked for you to treat me like a king of kings! You're just a bunch of unreasonable, odd, and clingy women.' Despite wishing to shout these words directly in her ear the kid choose to ignore the beauty to avoid the argument which is certain to follow before Teleporting a few meters away.
*Ehm*
He cleared his throat once he saw his Personal-Guards smiling at him because he was slightly embarrassed, "You guys guard me for a while, I need to rest for a bit."
Honestly he was indeed feeling quite exhausted but Aaron needed to check his gains more than anything else right now.
Just earlier when he Teleported away from the tight hug of the 3 sisters the kid felt so relaxed and at ease while slipping away from their embrace, after Teleporting away he felt none of the tingly discomfort which he usually feels deep within his stomach after executing the Teleport Skill.
Right now Aaron feels almost confident that he could spam activate Teleport without any trouble, actually he feels like he could hug one of these women and Teleport a few times before reaching his limit!
'My Basic Five-Attributes also increased sharply, it kind of makes it laughable since I was so happy after receiving 8 free Ability Points earlier.
'Strength received an addition of 8 Points and Agility got 10 while Vitality got 15, meanwhile Wisdom on the other hand received double that amount and got 30 but Intelligence got the most with an addition of 50 Points increase!
'Not to mention that these numbers doesn't add up on both the HP and MP bars, this Sorcerer Class actually increased my HP by 500 and my MP by about 1k or so.
'The grade of my M/Def, MP Regeneration Speed, Concentration, and Concentration Speed also jumped up by a rank and now sit at [Rare] instead of [Above-Average].
'If I add the benefits of the Elixirs, Potions, and Pills on-top of the benefits I gain from my Support and Buff Skills... I bet I'd give Lucy and the rest a good run for their money if we actually fought.
'If I stack the beneficial effect from Emphatic Resonance on-top of all that once Nephrite's Hive gets relocated on my roof... My enemies can only run with their tails between their legs once I say the word scram!
'However I can become even more frightening if the effect of this Elemental Expert Skill are actually what I envisioned, this is the moment of truth.'
Lucy puckered her lips in disgust once the kid slithered his way somehow from her embrace but she listened to Heena's advice and gave him space to rest while showering Paws with love instead of her cold and emotionless owner.

Nina smiled then sat with Heena to the side and conversed in hushed tone while stealing glances at the boy and their eyes were filled with pity and distress.
Gilmore and the rest jumped on top of the Royal-Guards and circled the area without caring for the extreme weather conditions, making sure nothing disturbs their young master Ron right now was their top priority.
"Tell your pet to go a bit further away." Aaron looked towards Lucy and ordered while standing up and getting ready to test his theory.
The beauty glared at the kid while shouting and pointing with one of her hands : "That's it you heartless bastard," The woman called over her Centipede, "And here I was worried that you might get sick sitting under the rain like that!"
Aaron just smiled while looking at the angry woman's cute behavior before looking up at the sky.
'I can feel the water everywhere being so thick and heavy.
'Meanwhile the air temperature is being extremely volatile because whenever it cools down below it gets charged back up by the electric currents of lightning within the clouds above.
'The ground beneath my feet is greedily absorbing all this water while the massive and complicated web of roots below the surface are thriving within the darkness and reaching with the rest of their body towards more light.
'It might seem chaotic and disorderly but there's indeed order to this Chaos!' The kid thought while retrieving his Sapphire Staff then activated Magic Guard and watched as the small Singing Fairy performed her piece then flew towards him and giggled before giving him a kiss on the cheek.
Instead of disappearing like she always does, this tiny, humanoid, and winged creature sat on his shoulder and clapped her hand as if to encourage him!
Lucy, Heena, and Nina watched it all happen while gawking from shock because the distance between their location and the closest border of the Mythical Waters is tens of thousands of times farther than Reapers-Fort.
According to their knowledge of how Summoning-Techniques work... the farther the distance, the harder it's for the summoned creature to stay without having to return to its natural habitat.
That's why these Whispering Sisters always kept wondering how exactly is the kid able to make it happen even if for a short period of time, but now he's able to summon this Singing Fairy and keep it longer as it seems.
"You want to watch?" Aaron looked at the small Fairy which is the size of his finger and asked before drinking his Potions, Elixirs, and Pills to power up.
"Tehehe..." The Blue Fairy smiled and clapped her hands while shaking the Butterfly Wings on her back which scattered glittering and magical-looking dust everywhere around his body.
Her small body was covered in blue flower petals and her blue hair was like strands of silk which ebbed and flowed like waves of water.
Aaron gave the little Fairy a Peach before pointing his Sapphire Staff towards the sky and muttering : "Gather."
His intention was to accumulate the rain into a globe of water.
'It works!' The kid was so excited after seeing the droplets of rain obeying his will and fusing into bigger droplets before fusing on top of his Sapphire Staff which he was raising above his head with a single hand.
"Compress!" The boy ordered while looking at the globe which kept growing in size at an amazingly quick rate.
Just like when he channels the Flame Orb Skill, his MP bar was visibly shrinking with every passing second.
But this time Aaron felt like he's truly in control of the Skill unlike before when the System operated everything while he only willed the activation whenever he needed.
Right now he could manipulate the direction, the density, and the speed of circulation within this globe of water.
It only cost him Mana Points and a little bit of concentration!
"Freeze!" Aaron stopped calling more water towards him before using the Sapphire Staff like a painting brush to twist and deform the globe of water into some sort of shape before giving that order.
He attempted to dispense with the verbal orders but his will wasn't enough to make it happen since these naughty droplets of water only listened to him once he voiced his intentions.
'Damn I'm such a genius! That airbender baldie has got nothing on me right now.' The kid thought while putting his hand to feel the cold statue of the Fairy which looks a lot similar to the tiny Blue Fairy which is sitting on his shoulder and greedily chomping on the Peach which is bigger than her in size!
*Giggle*
The Singing Fairy looked to check the boy's creation then smiled widely before taking a deep breath and blowing it at the ice statue which melted into water before freezing once again in the exact shape, size, and looks of the kid.
Aaron looked at the statue before nodding then saying : "Damn I'm so handsome! You little thing are so much better than me when it comes to sculpting ice statues," Then retrieved one Candied-Apple and gave it to the Fairy who just finished eating the Peach, "I guess you're just like me then, so tiny yet able to eat so much." While wondering : 'Does she also hit the bathroom a lot everyday like me?'
"Tehehe..." The Blue Fairy was posing proudly after hearing this compliment but once she tasted the Candied-Apple this tiny little thing seemed like it became possessed by some gluttonous ghoul all of a sudden!
The kid smiled then focused on the thick clouds up in the sky while thinking : 'Let's just hope this works or me and this little thing wouldn't even be able to know what hit us!' Then he took two bottles of Sunset Dew and drank them since his earlier attempt to manipulate water and create ice sculptures has almost wiped his MP bar clean.
*Crackle* *Rumble* *Vzzt*
Despite it being daytime and only a bit late in the afternoon the 3 beauties who watched everything happen from beginning to end while being absolutely mesmerized by the events which defied all common sense until the kid raised his Sapphire Staff towards the sky once again and all 3 women were blinded by the glaring light of the lightning seconds before hearing the roaring thunder ringing within their ears and leaving them buzzing with a sharp whistle and seeing stars while fear almost forced their hearts to leap from their chests.
Lucy, Heena, and Nina never felt such fear in their lives, it came directly from the depth of their Souls!
Once they regained the ability to see once again they found the boy standing there with his hair a mess and the ground surrounding him was all scorched black.
The Singing Fairy was huddled between his feet and hugging the Candied-Apple tightly while shivering but she was completely fine thanks to the Water Ball which surrounded her body.
*Humph*
"Sorry little one, by bad." Aaron thumped his chest with a fist and coughed some black smoke before looking down towards the Blue Fairy which seemed really annoyed by the disturbance which just happened.
*Snort*
She just looked away and ignored him while munching at the Candied-Apple.
"Heh." The kid smiled at her childish behavior but didn't blame her for getting angry while thinking : 'That was a bit dangerous indeed but I actually almost succeeded earlier! All of this happened because of a lapse of Concentration on my part.' Then he peeled an Orange then handed it to the Blue Fairy which smiled cheerfully after smelling its aromatic scent then accepted it.
Poor thing was covered in the juice from the Orange but it seemed to excite her even further!
'Why's her Wings glowing like that? Is it because she's happy? I guess dogs wag their tails while Fairies do... That!' But soon afterwards his deductions were proven wrong when the Singing Fairy looked at him and shrugged before disappearing.
Her cute actions were as if she's trying to say : "I have to go, catch you later."
Aaron rolled his eyes while thinking : 'I can summon you whenever I want you idiot!' Then he drank two more bottles of Sunset Dew to recharge his MP which dried-up completely after getting struck by Lightning earlier.
'Thankfully my Physical and Magical-Defense plus my Lightning-Resistance are at an all time high with my HP bar a bit bigger than before.
'Yet that simple Lightning Strike left me with 356 Health Points despite all these elevated Stats, Resistance, and Defenses.
'I wonder what it feels like to execute such an attack!
