The sudden silence confused Jason as he looked up into Old Drake's eyes that shot knives into him, as goosebumps covered his whole body.
"You can also tell that from your eyes?" Old Drake asked suspiciously, as he sighed deeply, when Jason nodded his head without saying anything further except a single word
"Roughly"
Old Drake decided to note down that Jason could become extremely dangerous to them in the future if he were to go down the wrong path.
He knew Shane from his past and was sure that he wouldn't teach Jason anything related to annihilating humanity or something like that.
However, Shane was still someone dangerous in his eyes, because he even eradicated the Shore clan just like that, and Old Drake decided to observe Jason, as his special trait was just too much of a mystery.
If he knew that his knowledge about Jason′s special trait wasn't completed with the most important feature being left out, Old Drake would most likely either kill Jason or tie his relationship with Shane in order to bring Jason away from him.
Fortunately, that wasn't the case and Jason could stay with Shane and Dalia.
Everyone was shocked except Jason, who was confused as they continued to talk with each other about the special traits.
"What are the perks of the [Lord of the Ocean] physique? Are they capable of something else than reinforcing his mana output once he used them with his water affinity?" Jason asked precisely, allowing the surrounding to understand, that he could see much more than he already said.
SIghing, Old Drake almost regretted having told Jason about Max′s physique as an Idea formed in his mind.
"Can you see how exactly his physique is constructed, like what body parts mutated into a water affinity constitution?" he asked, causing Jason's eyes to lighten up.
Scanning through Max with his mana eyes once again, Jason noticed Max's expression as he smiled lightly.
Max felt extremely uncomfortable to be completely transparent for Jason′s eyes but there was nothing he could do about it, as his great-grandfather told Jason to tell him what he could see.
"I already told you that his physique most likely amplifies Max′s affinity by 30% and it seems like his mana channels are completely enveloped with a thick blue membrane, which most likely caused the water physique.
Other than that, I can only tell that his mana core is also enveloped with this blue membrane and if I were to say something, the surrounding transmuted mana particles of other elements seem to repulse him, while the water transmuted particles are attracted towards him.
With this, one could conclude, that his physique only attracts normal and water transmutes mana, while it pushes away the rest.
This is maybe over the top and only a theory but with this Max might be unable to form a contract with beasts that have a different affinity than water or non-elemental.
It is only a thought of mine and might as well be completely wrong." Jason explained his theory and Old Drake nodded, while Max jumped up.
"That′s why my father's late wyrm's offspring didn′t want to form a bond with me!! NOOOO!!"
Max cried out loud and Seron rolled his eyes as it seemed ridiculous to him, that he was annoyed about his physiques requirement.
In order to amplify his affinity by 30% was much more than he could ever wish for, as even some unblemished ranked water affinities might be on par with strong magical ranked affinities solely thanks to the provided amplification.
Old Drake nodded his head as he mumbled "That's why his mana absorbing and refining was faster close to the ocean" and Jason only heard it faintly, causing him to be even more interested in his physique.
'Shouldn't they know something like that already? Isn't that quite easy to figure out?' Somehow Jason felt that the big families were either extremely stupid or just weird.
Even if he was slightly jealous of a 30% amplification, Jason wouldn't want to change with Max, as he would most likely only form a soulbond with water affinity beasts, which narrows his variety of attacks by a large degree.
Nevertheless, it was still extremely powerful and Jason knew that Max could become a terrifying existence in the future, as long as his ambition and determination were strong enough to motivate him.
His soul world was what made Jason feel good about not having a physique like Max, as his own variety would be much wider than him in the future.
With a soul amplification of 33%, an unknown amount of possible soulbonds and affinities he could obtain, Jason felt that a physique forcing on someone a single elemental like that would narrow his opportunities, destroying his future partially.
As such, Jason smiled weirdly when he heard Max lamenting about his physique for a second before Old Drake gave him a slap on the back of his head in order to calm him down.
They continued to talk for around half an hour and the special combat class was still filled with students trying to challenge the seats when the five of them finished talking with each other.
Rather than a talk of five, one could say that Jason and Old Drake discussed all kinds of possibilities with each other in order to figure out more about Max′s physique.
With this, Jason could finally comprehend a few things.
First, his mana eyes were definitely more powerful than normal mana eyes of all stages, while it was unknown what exactly its mutation was.
One could say his eyes were a super rare limited edition, only one human had, satisfying Jason.
The second thing he found out was that ancient clans with special traits existed, as Old Drake told him a few things about them.
There were also sects that accepted only special trait users with the smallest sect with all members having special trait eyes, being called [Heaven′s Eyes].
It was unknown how many such sects existed but it was for sure, that the big families weren't the only humans with powerhouses backing them, as some of them were almost killed after they offended ancient sects.
This shocked Jason extremely but he was the only one within the room that was unaware of what happens to Canir, not like the others who lived there for a long time and were even raised on Canir.
While the third and most important fact he comprehended was that he was now able to tell what kind of amplification a special physique could bring.
In the beginning, Jason could only tell roughly as he only took a single glance at Max′s physique, but inspecting it for a bunch of minutes, opened up a firmly closed door for Jason, revealing information he could never think of.
After they finished chatting with each other, everyone seemed satisfied while Seron and Max′s seemed to be roasted by the sheer amount of information they absorbed from Old Drake and Jason's discussion.
Till smiled weirdly at his disciple, shaking his head, as Old Drake glanced perplexed at Max.
Jason didn't mind either of them behaving like that, as the amount of information they received was really huge, he declared with confidence in his voice
"Now that my curiosity is satisfied, I′ll be reclaiming my special combat class seat!"
