Lancel stepped out of the Gretelle Mansion and into the yard. It had been three days since he had devoted himself entirely to studying elemental resonance.
Nearby, in the gazebo, Countess Gretelle was calmly sipping her tea. The moment she noticed him walking out, with Fiore following close behind, she lifted her gaze.
"What are you two up to?"
"Master, could you take a look at Lancel's progress?" Fiore asked.
"Progress? Has he already figured out his natural attunement?"
"I think I did," Lancel replied. "But I'm not completely sure. I do have a spell to show you, though."
"Show me."
To Countess Gretelle, this was unusual. He had only been studying elemental resonance for a week.
If someone rushed to determine their attunement and committed to the wrong path, they could end up wasting years before realizing their mistake. While she knew Lancel was far from ordinary, this was still unexpected.
Even so, she chose to indulge him.
