Eldric stroked his beard and nodded proudly, "That's true indeed. But there are a lot of promising youth emerging in this generation."
Selene smiled affectionately at Orion, gently stroking his hair. "Well, our Orion here will surpass them all easily. Let's just wait until you awaken your own affinity—you'll definitely surprise everyone!"
Orion shook his head and chuckled softly, feeling the warmth of familial care from the two of them. He continued enjoying the delicious food, quietly absorbing the information Selene had shared, his thoughts briefly lingering on his future awakening.
As the meal continued, laughter and gentle chatter filled the hall, creating a cozy atmosphere. Orion found himself genuinely enjoying these peaceful moments, sensing the warmth of family life he had missed in his previous existence.
'This isn't bad at all,' he thought inwardly, a contented smile forming on his lips. 'Perhaps this second life really is my chance to experience everything I missed.'
Soon, they finished their meals and headed back to their rooms.
...
Orion stretched after entering his room, looking around at the cozy bed and luxurious furniture. "How envious my life is." He chuckled, thinking to himself before jumping on the bed.
"Haaa...this is life. How I missed this in my last life." He closed his eyes for a bit, relaxing his body before he abruptly sat up straight.
"Now, let's see what I have gathered of this world." He thought before remembering all the things he learned from Eldric and Selene in the past few days.
Raising his hand, a small crackle of lightning lit up his finger before he replaced it with burning fire. "Hmm, Dual Element Mages are not special, it seems. They might be relatively rare but nothing out of the ordinary."
After extinguishing the fire, he muttered, "Will I also be an ordinary Fire and Thunder mage on my human side?" He closed his eyes thinking.
He knew he would be far more special than nearly everyone born in this kingdom solely due to his Dragon Lineage, but he was even more special after integrating two True Dragons' inheritances and Human inheritance.
But he didn't want his Human side to be merely above ordinary. He wanted it to be as exceptional as his Dragon side.
"Wait, Human? I'm not an ordinary human, but a Perfect Human being at the apex of all humans. Should I be limited by mere elements??" His eyes became bright as he thought up to this point.
"I need to verify this." He looked outside the window and shook his head, "Eh it's already late. I should talk with Grandpa about my awakening. He should be able to help me awaken my Sea of Consciousness. And I can also know what elemental affinity I have. It should be Thunder and Fire."
He rubbed his chin while falling back on the bed, "Hmm, I should be able to learn different elemental magic as well, albeit slowly. As for different paths, I would need the Inheritance of those paths."
He continued to think for a bit before closing his eyes and falling asleep.
...
The morning sun rose, casting a warm glow over Orion's room. His eyes fluttered open, "Mmm..."
