The Crystals

"So, it seems that you actually might have some level of control over your Aura. It now makes the job easier than previously expected. All I need to do is make you realize the existence of Aura," said Lazuli.

"So, what is this aura exactly?" asked Zohaifa

"You can say it is what connects us and physics. It can simply be described as our cheat code to break the laws of the universe. By controlling aura we can do the seemingly impossible. For example, how you create lighting and how I create plasma."

"This doesn't make sense. If Aura can do all these, we could just summon a planet by breaking the law of conservation of mass and throw it to our opponent and boom, they are gone. We win the tournament."

"It is theoretically not impossible to summon a planet using aura. Like you objected, aura could be used to do anything. But we are not gods. We don't have such control over aura nor do we possess such amount of aura. If you have sufficient aura and if you have enough control over them, then certainly, you can summon a planet. "

"Wait, I also need a specific amount of Aura?"

"Yes. Just like you are born with a certain amount of strength which grows over time, you also have a certain amount of aura which grows over time. But unlike strength, it does not have a limit to its growth and if you connect your strength to your aura, you can make its growth unlimited too. And just like with strength, when you train your aura, its amount increases."

"That is incredible."

"Do you have any more questions? I don't want to start the training with confusion within you."

"I don't have any confusion but I am curious about something. You told me about Plasma being the easiest to control among the sixteen elements."

"Yes, the easiest to control after your core element that is," corrected Lazuli.

"What are the other elements?" asked Zohaifa

Lazuli then turned her eyes towards Marium and ordered, "Marium, It's time to check if you did your homework. Answer him"

"Air

Water

Fire

Earth

Plant

Ice

Lava

Metal

Lightning

Thunder

Light

Darkness

Star particles

Plasma

Magic

Others," smoothly answered Marium.

"I was just curious in the beginning. But now I am really confused. What is the difference between thunder and lightning? What are star particles? What are the others? Isn't it all like magic, anyway? Then why is magic a separate element?"

Lazuli slapped her forehead and said, "I shouldn't have answered that."

"Actually I answered that," interrupted little Marium.

"Zohaifa, how about we ignore the confusion and start our training?"

"You are the one who insisted that we shouldn't keep any confusion."

"Never mind that."
