Sacrifice: Time of Mine
Chapter 60: Proof
"Since we are now allies. We are not truly trusting you yet."
But of course, Guild Master is wittier than the young Avion who just came into the "real world" yesterday. He wouldn't let Avion go without taking some benefits.
"What do I do then?" Avion asked.
"Hmm... how about this. Since we are just starting, how about you just tell us your Element first?" the Guild Master said with still a stern look but his voice was softer than before, "Even though the more you hide your Element the better, but you will eventually have to use it so there's no point in keeping it a secret to us, your allies."
Avion thought for a while, 'I know I shouldn't casually say my origins and powers this time but they are now my allies. I mean, what can they do? If they used the information to harm me, I can just escape anytime I want to... No, I'm not still sure about that. But father once became the Ruler of the Universe using this power, I should try to be more daring. I also don't want to die so getting their trust is a great start.'
"Actually, I am not an Elementalist."
Hearing this, the three were relieved. Avion considered them too. He didn't lie. He wasn't an Elementalist.
However, this complicates the situation between him and the Guild Master. Even Mettany's face turned serious.
'What's the point of lying now?'
If Avion wasn't an Elementalist, why would the Appraisal Scroll lit?
'Isn't he getting himself get caught red-handed?' she began to frown.
Meanwhile, the Guild Master was still calm on the outside, waiting for Avion's next sentence which they did not wait that much longer.
"Because I don't know if my power is considered an Element or not."
"What?" midway, the Guild Master whispered, 'So he's aware of his power. Of course, that should be the case.'
"I have the power to control time."
"..."
"Avion, you shouldn't joke about that." to this, Naron and the other two felt it was inappropriate to put out that joke in a serious discussion. Back when Fobo asked Avion if he was an Elementalist, Avion just answered he could control time. They ignored him and took him away. They never thought Avion would stick to that joke.
The Guild Master was silent, thinking about the possibility of Time Element while Mettany had widened eyes. She too felt it came out of nowhere.
"Eh? It was not a joke. I can stop time." Avion replied with a serious expression.
"Come on, Avion, time isn't an Element. You should tell the tru-" while Naron was giving advice, he blinked a few times and saw Avion disappear in front of him, "Eh?"
"I just stopped time." Avion was now standing behind him.
"Ah-!" Naron jumped out of fright, "W-what did you do?"
"I told you, I stopped time then stood up, walked here, and turned it back." Avion said with a calm expression which didn't have a hint of fatigue, worry, anxiety, or any possible symptoms when lying or using an elesk, "Just like this."
He disappeared again.
And reappeared, sitting on the chair.
"You!" at this point, the Guild Master was full of doubts, "Are you seriously saying that you can control time?" he lost his temper.
Nobody can blame him, even a Rank Ey Elementalist would be shocked at this point.
Even the three were about to faint but kept themselves awake while talking to each other.
"We are too lowly for Avion."
"Didn't we just befriend a God?"
"Wait, don't assume anything yet. Maybe Avion's Element is something that affects the mind. He himself is affected!"
"What kind of Element is that?!"
"Cocaine Element?"
"What?"
Meanwhile, Avion expected their reaction. Recalling his memories, Time Element wasn't really a thing. To gain their trust, he would have to say the truth. What's the worst that could happen?
"No, that's still not enough evidence that you could control time. Light Elementalist could do that." the Guild Master forgot his initial thoughts about gaining information from Avion.
He was honestly curious and stupefied!
"Then how could I prove it? Before, I can control everything except my body's time. But now, it changed. Oh... look at this." Avion took out two crens, "I will slow down the right coin, look."
He put forward his two fists and released the two coins at the same time. The Guild Master looked and saw nothing different. The coins should fall down and that was it.
Tak* Tak*
Two coins fell on the wooden table. Contrary to their expectations, while the coin on Avion's left side already landed on the table, the other one was till midway. With keen eyes, the Guild Master noticed this subtle difference.
The other coin was slower by a half!
But for the tired Mettany and the three, they just saw that there was a gap and felt like the other coin fell into the water.
Avion could still control the time of others by a small margin. Twice, either faster or slower. That was his maximum. Before, he could control the speed of his body twice as much. So they were exchanged.
"No... no... that was still not enough. There are many ways to do that." the Guild Master still denied. Although he said it, he knew that these "ways" were quite complicated and there was not a specific elesp that could slow the fall.
If it was a Wind Element that made the fall slower, then he should've felt the wind with his Rank Bih power. And even if it was the Wind Element, how much control does a Wind Elementalist has to repeat Avion's "trick"?
Avion heard the Guild Master's whispers and said, "Then what do I do to prove that I can control time?"
"Proof..." the Guild Master contemplated. But since he has zero knowledge on the possible Time Element, he stopped and began thinking outside the box.
"Ah!" he enthusiastically raised his finger. This was a rare scene for the Guild Master who always had a stern look, "Your bloodline. Element and talents are inherited. Does anyone in your family tree, ancestors, or even in legends does have anything to do with Time Element?"
Although he was stepping over the line in probing too much, the Guild Master's curiosity was making him do so.
But of course, Guild Master is wittier than the young Avion who just came into the "real world" yesterday. He wouldn't let Avion go without taking some benefits.
