Evolution & Freetown

Khrone came back to see the aftermath of the fight, he slowly followed the traces and found the knocked-out Will and Valaria who were just coming to. The moment she woke up and saw Will's body lying there, she hurriedly moved away possibly fearing that he would wake up and continue his ruthless attacks. "You have some nerve coming here after your graduation without permission, sneaking onto my hill and attacking my newest student and even worse you let him beat you into a pitiful state", Khrone got louder and angrier with each word he said and everything cut through Valeria like a knife.
She was Valaria Grant, one of the most talented young people in the world. She was not extremely strong compared to other people in her year group but she was younger than them so she was still strong if that was considered yet she was losing to a boy who had barely gotten into the Novice stage. Khrone made Will float and motioned for Valaria to follow him, they went to the house where Khrone began to examine his body. He had lost a lot of blood and was injured minutes ago but the wounds were already closing.
Valaria who had been quiet this whole time spoke, "I thought he was an intruder and only wanted to scare him off, I didn't think that - "That is the issue", the old man interrupted, "You don't stop to think even though everyone tells you to stop doing that. What if he had killed you at the end, what if you killed him could you withstand the effects of killing a student inside the school". " For no particularly good reason, you are arrogant and by consequence immature, how do you expect to survive in this current world with such an attitude?" 
This might have been the longest thing he had said to her at one time, Khrone was generally a man of few words but his circumstances didn't allow him to stay like that. "Luckily for you, he had his evolution at that moment or else I would disown you as a student, I don't like comparing you guys but all those I taught before you all had different but they were calm and collected, I have no idea how you became like this".
Khrone continued tending to Will's wounds, "To have your evolution so soon, you must be more talented than I thought". Valaria sat in silence again and asked Khrone, "Master, what exactly is an evolution scientifically?" Khrone, annoyed at the question began to grumble, "Silly child, I told you to read my book but you didn't, how lucky for you that I have some time on my hands now, now listen carefully because I won't say this again (A/N: THIS CHAPTER WILL EXPLAIN HOW EXACTLY ABILITIES WORK, THIS WILL CREATE EXTRA ADVANTAGES AND WEAKNESSES THAT WILL BE USED IN THE FUTURE SO PLEASE ACCEPT MY INFO DUMP). " The Gene Enhancement Fluid is based on enhancing the same part of a person's DNA, the categories mutant, enhancer and variant are based on what section of that part is affected". " Now the abilities are not called superpowers because they have very simple weaknesses. So let me take the elemental abilities one by one first. Fire is weakened by water and cold and oxygen-free places and it's caused by using your body and the environment's heat as a catalyst.
Water's catalyst is moisture in the atmosphere so if you get rid of that you deal with it, Earth needs you to be touching the earth or ground in some way. Air needs a place with sufficient air so airtight areas are a flaw in utilising it, Lightning is gotten by the friction created by air moving against your skin, this creates small static energy which is multiplied so to some the lightning ability is just visible electricity. There are many other abilities and their weaknesses but if you want to know them read the book". "But what about evolution, what does that have to do with science?", Valaria asked. Her master looked at her like she just grew two heads, "What doesn't that have to do with science you battle monger". " Evolution in the case of abilities has no discovered cause, all we know is that it enhances the range of usage or power of a person's ability. For example, Will's white lightning is over two times hotter and more destructive than his previous regular blue-purple lightning, in other cases they get additional abilities like earth and metal, water and other liquids". "There are many more abilities and their weaknesses but you'd have to read my book to find out more about that, now leave me and let me work on the boy".
Somewhere 
Following the death of the humanoid beast, Vince disbanded his group of freedom fighters, though the people didn't like the decision and fought against it, they had no choice but to go along. Vince left his people but was followed by Ento who would not leave his friend "to face life alone". Vince and Ento quickly left New Europea (The large territory ruled by the great families) to the east. They travelled through the Border Forest before coming to a town with a sign reading, " Welcome to Freetown, the land of dreams”. This was the closest settlement out of the families’ control, looking at each other Vince and Ento smiled knowing their days would be different from that moment. The duo fit right in pretending to be retired adventurers, the town held a banquet that night after all though retired, they’d still improve security in the town. The very next day a woman came to visit them she had dressed like an ordinary person but they could sense otherwise. Rebel leaders, Vince and Ento, your help is needed in our struggle for freedom, with your strength and experience our battles in this region would be undoubtedly easier. After saying this she looked at the men expectantly but they just stood there laughing like she’d just made a joke. Vince stopped laughing abruptly and said, “For years we’ve risked our lives to fight, lost our friends and families to this fight and after leaving you want us to go back? No matter whether it’s aristocratic families or pompous rebels you’re all the same selfish tramps, now go tell whoever sent you that no is our final answer.
The two left her outside, feeling perplexed by the outburst and guilty but she cleared her mind,” The mission was more important than emotions”. With a resolute look, she sped off on a hovering motorcycle unaware of Vince’s gaze from his house, he sighed and opened a closet filled with weapons he stored inside with a sad gaze, “It seems we’ll be together once more old friends”.
