Chapter 207 - "The Secret Of The Capital's Citizens"
Facing Ainsley's shock toward the strange capital, the Godfather was calm. He just floated around Ainsley and patiently guided her.
[Actually, those people you saw before, they're all ability users.] The Godfather started his lecture with a shocking fact until Ainsley and even Cellino almost fell from their seat.
[What? They're ability users?! But I didn't see them using their ability!] Ainsley blinked fast, still in disbelief.
Usually, when one used their ability, others could guess what their abilities were. Ainsley was just an exceptional case…
At least that's what she thought.
But the Godfather shook his head.
[In the capital, everyone learns how to use their abilities as casually as possible without letting others know their abilities.] The young spirit looked at Ainsley and sighed.
[This kind of energy control mastery is common in the capital. That's why this lord taught you that.]
Only then Ainsley was enlightened. It turned out, the skill to use your special abilities without others knowing was only natural at the capital!
Maybe because it's wiser to hide your strength rather than flaunting it, letting others know your ability and could analyse its weakness too.
But there's still something that Ainsley couldn't understand.
[Is it that easy to be an ability user?] The girl murmured.
Even a beggar is an ability user….are all people in this world born with a special ability?
Isn't ability user rare?
The Godfather casually glanced at Ainsley and chuckled.
[You're right. Actually, every single human being in this world is always born with a special ability, and normally, they can use it when they're 10.]
The Godfather crossed his arms and started his lecture.
[The term 'awakening' is actually not when you first acquired your special ability but when you can finally use it.]
[Eh? But you said special abilities that we acquire are related to our everyday life…]
[I did say that. But, usually, your initial special ability that you're born with can disappear as time passes by or get replaced due to your surroundings.]
The Godfather casually shrugged.
[Also, even if one has an initial special ability, it doesn't mean they can use it when they're 10. This is how those without special abilities exist.]
[Ah, so if we can't 'awaken'...in this term, use our initial special abilities, we will be an ordinary human?]
[Yes. But most cases go with people losing their initial special abilities but acquiring a new one due to their environment, and when they're 10, they can finally use this new ability.]
[Oh, and that's how they still become an ability user! Right?] Ainsley beamed a smile at the Godfather.
She gradually understood how ability users were born.
[Hum. It's not easy to keep your initial special ability.]
The Godfather gave Ainsley a casual nod before continuing.
[In fact, only 10% of humans can keep their initial abilities and awaken them later.]
[Only….10%?] Ainsley subconsciously opened her mouth wide. [And...what do they become?]
[They become multi-ability users. Just like you!] The Godfather exclaimed.
Of course, not all initial special abilities are useful, but in Ainsley's case...it became her main weapon.
The Godfather looked at Ainsley with a profound gaze.
[Your baby charm ability is actually a natural-born. But because you also need it as you live on, it never disappears, and you awaken it after you can use your keen hearing ability.]
[Oooh, I see, I see. So...the 10% become multi-ability users...while the rest become ordinary ability users…]
No wonder those at the capital would all be ability users even when they're only a lowly beggar. Maybe there might be more multi-ability users here.
Because their environment stimulated them to have special abilities!
The Godfather nodded at Ainsley's conclusion.
[But...still, how come these people are stronger than other ability users?] Ainsley tilted her head. [I heard we need more than one ordinary ability user to kill a low-level monster…]
Or maybe because that teenager and the beggar before are multi-ability users?
The Godfather gave a simple answer to Ainsley's question.
[It all depends on how you use your ability and how smooth.]
Then, the Godfather wiggled his finger in front of Ainsley as he asked.
[Do you remember that teenager from before? He's someone from the capital, this lord can tell.]
[I remembered him. Then?] Ainsley squinted while the Godfather shrugged.
[Do you know what abilities he uses to crush that baby monster casually?]
Since that teenager before used his ability as smooth as drinking water, it's hard to guess his actual special ability.
Now, Ainsley had to guess what kind of ability that the teenager used!
[Mmm...super strength? Or..gravity? Earth control?] Ainsley gave off a bunch of guesses, but the Godfather shook his head.
[Wrong. What he used is air pressure, just like your sacred guardian's ability!]
The Godfather didn't say this only to Ainsley but also meant it for Cellino.
The moment the cat and the baby heard this, both of them gaped in shock.
[Air pressure? But he only stepped on the monster's head...this...how did he do it?] Ainsley knitted her eyebrows, confused to the max.
Is it that easy to control air pressure using your foot? And to do that while walking….
[He channelled his energy to his left foot and controlled the air pressure around that area as he stepped on the monster.]
The Godfather explained what's happening with the previous case using his extensive knowledge.
[When that teenager stepped on the monster, the air pressure intensified, flattening the monster's head until it died.]
And all of that happened in a few seconds.
It showed how good the teenagers' energy control of his ability was!
He's fast, precise, and knows how to use his ability well!
