"Because my element is electro, I can easily wish for it. Different story if my element is pyro, I can't wish for the strongest lightning but I could wish for a flame that could engulf the heavens."

Just as she was touching her chin, she said, "So the requirement is what your body can and cannot do?"

"That's right. Humans have infinite potential with limitless paths. However, there are a few things that humans can't attain. 

The past, for instance. It is simply impossible to turn back time and change the future. If you somehow manage to travel back, you'll end up in another timeline and change the future of it."

Timelines were similar to a bunch of straight lines neatly ordered. If you went back to the past and changed it, it would make a new branch and create a new timeline.

"For sorcerers, once we decide our path. We cannot change it. Each sorcerer has different elements that were offered from our body. How we get this is after our first Anomaly foul successfully weakened." Ryu took Narukami's place to explain and he didn't mind. 

He was actually waiting for this, explaining something was tiring for his jaw. After Ryu took the initiative to explain, Narukami became the bystander, listening to their conversation.

Once in a while, he would interrupt if Ryu's explanation was slowly misleading.

"Anomaly foul weakened? Doesn't that mean sorcerers get their powers from an Anomaly? Wouldn't this be a cycle?" Aya came to a realization.

An Anomaly was born from human foul, after which it planted its foul into a human. The latter either end up dying or becoming a sorcerer. The former then killed Anomalies.

Anyway, a human who planted with an Anomaly foul for the first time, and then it was weakened. The human would evolve and get an ability.

The evolution itself was rather complicated as it involved cells, the immune system, spiritual energy, life energy, blood circulation, heart, and whatnot.

"Yup. We usually have three options after our body evolves. At the time I had to choose between pyro, cryo, or geo. Unfortunately, I can only go for pyro." Ryu exhaled disappointedly.

"Why?"

"Many things happened back then," Ryu replies as he forced out a smile and Aya didn't discuss it much deeper. She diverted the topic.

"So this person Asahi who Narukami saved is a perfect example?" Aya speculated.

"Yes, he is. Though I don't know what element he ends up with. Narukami, you did explain these things to him, right?"

As Narukami nodded, the bear approached their table and asked if they decided on their order yet. 

"Yes, I would like an iced coffee and virgin blood please," Narukami said. Aya quickly looked at Narukami.

"As expected of my liege, I'll soon prepare it as quickly as possible!" Aya stood, Narukami raised his brows in confused manner and Ryu got up off of his seat as he quickly blocked Aya from walking away from her seat by extending his arm across the table.

His movements were so hasty that when he got up, his knee hit the table and everything on it slightly lifted.

The bear ignored the commotion Ryu made and wrote Narukami's order. Later, it gazed on Aya.

A four feet tall bear looking down on her, literally as their height was three times the difference! Aya had to slightly tilt her head up.

"A fruit parfait, please." She replied after a short thought. Her words kinda shivering.

She was also immersed with the bear's dark eyes for a few seconds.

After saying her order, she went back down as put aside what she was going to do. Her eyes were focused on the table as her mouth didn't utter a word.

"Thank you, customer. We also offer a free meal for sorcerers. Would you like some?" The bear politely offered.

"It's okay, we're in a hurry after all," Narukami replied. 

The bear put its note on its apron inner pocket along with the pen then bowed, "understood, please wait."

As though the bear was someone in a suit, it walked away with light steps despite its feet and body being quite big.

After the bear was away from their vicinity.

"What's wrong?" Narukami wondered as he was aware of her sudden retreat.

"Bears…. Terrifying."

Ryu went back to his seat, he was lost for words. He thought Kuroda was a fearless and perfect girl yet this event destroyed that belief instantly.

Deep down he was relieved.

A few hours ago, after school ended. Asahi went down the stairs from his classroom with hasty steps. As many students were using the same stair, he had to forcefully cut his way through.

His heartbeat rapidly increased with each step he took.

"Sorry, out of the way! Coming through!" He yelled as he gently pushed everyone in his way to the side

Someone's watching me! He thought to himself.

His back was sweating and his back felt uncomfortable. The prying gaze somewhere from behind focused on him had a hostile intention.

A few minutes later, he arrived at the school gate and recovered his drained stamina by resting his hands on his knee.

"Huff… Huff…"

The prying gaze was still there but not as intense as before. 

It slowly faded away as he turned around and searched for the source.

Who is watching me? Why? He thought to himself as he walked out of the school gate.

Students were around him and talking yet their words simply entered his right ear and went out from left.

As his eyebrows frowned, his mind was contemplating something.

This is the place my instinct told me to go to, I guess it is related to the event this morning. Still, just what is going on? Why can't I remember anything?

Asahi racked his brain to find the answers yet futile. 

What he recalled was the time when he woke up in the middle of the street with nothing but his pants.

People took pictures and he became the center of attention instantly and by now, probably it has spread on the internet. Fortunately, his face was blurred, saving his reputation and avoid him from getting bullied.

However, that wasn't the most important part.

I must regain my memories. But, for now. I need to sign myself as an Anomaly sorcerer.. Perhaps I could discover my past from there.
