Chapter 15 - Consultation

Only those designated remain around the campfire.

_ Shailly: “ I'll start! My Source is magnetism! Type C elementary Class! ”

Taïga tilts his head, arms crossed.

_ Taïga: “ Magnetism? I bet on electricity given your performance in training. ”

She scratches her head, slightly embarrassed.

_ Shailly: “ Haha, tutor Keren told me the same thing. ”

_ Taïga: “ All right, my Source is density. Unclassifiable Type C. ”

_ Ayden: “ Density? How does that work? ”

_ Taïga: “ I can change the density of an object by touching it. For example, if I touch a plate, I can make it heavier or, conversely, lighter. ”

Son's pupils are getting thicker.

_ Son: “ Your power is incredible, man, it's awesome! ”

_ Taïga: “ Thanks. What about you? ”

_ Son: “ I'm a Source-less! ” he said proudly.

Surprise takes us by surprise.

_ Taïga: “ Oh yeah, really? ”

_ Shailly: “ You too? ”

_ Ayden: “ I didn't know he didn't have any powers. ”

_ Brent: “ How do you defend yourself then? ”

_ Son: “ With my stick on my back. I practice in secret whenever I get the chance. I've gotten a taste for it. Since then, I never let it go. So if anyone attacks me, believe me, they'll regret it! ”

Everyone smiled, impressed by his words.

_ Taïga: “ Well said. ”

_ Brent: “ You've got guts, I like that. ”

_ Ayden: “ Unbelievable. ”

_ Son: “ Hehe, of course. ” he said, his ego rising.

Eyes turn away in another direction.

_ Taïga: “ Shailly, you said ‘you too’ earlier. Is there someone else who is a Source-less? ”

_ Shailly: “ Yes, it's Kaya! ”

_ Taïga: “ Hmmm. ” he said, in a neutral tone.

A smile of relief lights up his face, the loneliness having dissipated.

_ Son: “ Seriously! And I thought I was all alone. ”

_ Shailly: “ Haha. ”

Shailly stares at me, her big eyes filled with curiosity.

_ Shailly: “ And you, Ayden? ”

_ Ayden: “ My Source is granite. Elementary class, Type N. ”

_ Taïga: “ Granite? I think that's rock, isn't it? ”

_ Ayden: “Exactly, I can assemble or disassemble a granite nearby. ”

_ Shailly: “ Ohh, so that's what tutor Keren was talking about when he mentioned proximity. That's great! ” she thought to herself.

_ Son: “ That's heavy, man! ”

Still wearing an enigmatic smile, Taïga looks at his friend.

_ Taïga: “ Okay, that leaves just you. ”

_ Brent: “ I know. My Source is spectral. Unclassifiable Type C. ”

_ Shailly: “ Spectral? What's that? ”

_ Son: “ Just the name alone is awesome, it must be crazy! ” he said excitedly.

_ Brent: “ Shut up. Basically, I form massive shadow hands that come out of my back. It allows me to protect myself and at the same time punch someone hard if they annoy me. ”

_ Son: “ I knew it, it's incredible! ”

_ Brent: “ Of course. ” he said, without the slightest doubt.

_ Ayden: “ Their powers are all interesting. I would have liked someone with detection powers, but we'll manage without. In any case, I think we have a good group. ”

In the wake of this, we are therefore considering a tactic to adopt if the situation at the meeting point takes a turn for the worse.

As darkness descends on the forest, we tell ourselves that the chances of encountering a Reclu are slim. Only the full moon partially illuminates the forest.

We gather our belongings, pack a bag, and quietly leave the village, determined to succeed in our quest for the good of our tribe.
