Novel Full 200 Plans [4] - Academy?
Hearing this, Archie let out a relieved smile. Unfortunately for him, Silas wasn’t done.
“For a price, of course.” A grin could be seen on Silas’ face the moment he said that.

“I want you to do my guild thing.”
“…”
“Deal or no deal?” Silas cocked his head to the side but already knew the answer.
“Dea-”
“And, I want to be in charge of it… Let’s call it the Evergreen guild… Evergreen faction? Hm… We’ll think about that later.” Silas shrugged.
This time, Archie took a little longer to answer, yet, just when he opened his mouth, Silas beat him to it.
“I want Alex and Nymira with me. I also want a drop of blood from a phoenix. Three, in fact.”
“I can’t do that. One at most, and even then, they are quite expensive and hard to get.” Archie said with a slightly grave expression.
“Hmm? Is that so? That’s fine then. I’ve already consumed a few blood drops from the giants… Though, I wonder if I could go there and kill one of them. Maybe my progress would increase.”
“Please don’t try to kill a giant. Kill one, and their whole race will smell it on you.” Archie rubbed his brows.
“I don’t see a problem with that.” Silas smiled wildly.
“It only means I get to kill more of them, right?”
“If that’s how you want to see it, then yes.” Archie sighed once more.
The meeting lasted a bit longer, and in the end, they planned what to do when Silas got to the academy.
When Silas left the meeting, he quickly went over to Alex and Nymira to tell them the news.
“What… No! I don’t wanna go!” Alex shouted and tried to run away, but Silas quickly appeared in front of him with narrowed eyes.
Silas pressed onto him with his killing intent, and within a few seconds, Alex was on the ground, shivering in fear with his hands around his head.
“We’re going, whether you like it or not.”
“This is human trafficking!” Alex argued through clattering teeth.
“Oh really? If you want, I can put a bag over your head and throw you to a criminal organization. I wonder how they would treat you.” A smirk appeared on his face the moment he said those words.
“Y-You monster!”
“Silas, an you stop bullying him?” Nymira asked with pity in her voice.
“Don’t pity me woman!” Alex shouted, causing Nymira to widen her eyes slightly before narrowing them.
“On second thought, how about you bully him a little more. I don’t think he learned his lesson.”
“Aww. Nym, this is why you’re my favorite.” Silas chuckled.
A few minutes later, Alex was on Silas’ shoulder, letting out subtle groans every few seconds. If not for them, one would have thought that he was unconscious.
Looking back at Nymira, Silas could see an excited smile on her face that, made. The moment he saw that smile, his heart warmed before a smile tugged at the corner of his lips as well.
Her joy, for some reason, felt like his joy. So, whenever she smiled like how she currently, was, he would feel a small prick in his heart that made him smile as well.
It was a weird, but he didn’t mind it.
“Are you excited?” Silas asked her, causing her smile to broaden even more than it currently was, before it quickly turned nervous.
“Yeah, but what if the kids don’t like me and try to bully me.” Nymira thought back to how the kids treated her before her parents died.
They would always pick on her for the stupidest reasons they could think of, though, it was usually about her hair.
While at first, Silas had always thought that her hair might have been normal in this world, that was simply not the case.
People usually had hair that was within the elemental spectrum. When someone was fully acclimated with their element, which was something that rarely happened, their hair would become the color of the element they used.
Half of Syra’s hair was silver due to her wind element, but since it wasn’t prevalent in her bloodline, he hair had to start from the beginning before slowly turning into the color of their element.
People like Zelon or the late David had orange and blue hair, respectively, due to their families having fully acclimated. Some families even did not allow the children to marry others without the hair color, since that usually created a person with two elements.
Despite how it sounded, though, two elements were not a good thing. Only some had the ability or chance to combine the two elements to create a sub-element. However, for most people, their elements remained separated, making it much harder for them to use magic since half their mana could only be used for one element, while the other half was for the other element.
If they had a fire and air affinity in a fire mage tournament, they would be at the disadvantage of having only half the mana as the rest of them.
However, the problem with Nymira’s hair was not that she had two elements, but that pink hair was not achievable through elemental means…
Or at least that wasn’t the case for humans.
The same could be said about quite a lot of hair colors. Alex’s hair color was not normal either, which Silas had only learned about in the past few years.
Silas didn’t know how they had these hair colors. He didn’t have the equipment to see why their hairs had turned pink and red, but it didn’t matter for now.
However, there was one more problem.
There was a reason why Judgement was so well known throughout the kingdom, and even the continent, because of his hair and eye color.
No one had ever seen eyes as green as his, nor did anyone see hair so white.
Most people thought that it was dye, and they would be right to think so…
However, Silas had discovered one last thing in the past half a decade that he had to make sure no one knew about.
And it was the answer to his question for a while now.
What happens to the hair of someone who awakens all elements?
Well, that answer was simple, wasn’t it…
The real question was, what color was mana actually?
White or translucent?
