Since the bull-headed man felt quite angry at Trevor Allier, his words were spoken in a volume high enough so that the students on the stands could hear it.
And the result was as he expected, one of the members of the Faresh family caught the hint and immediately explained.
"Ahh, right, now that you mention it, the Allier family has a weird tradition, for some unknown reason, the heirs of their royal family are always male twins, the younger one is always the weaker between them but he older one has the potential to become a half emperor".
"What the hell does that have to do with wearing a green hat due to your own brother?", asked one of the spectators to the guy from the Faresh family.
The bull-headed youth inwardly smirked, since he caught the attention of others, then the supreme elder will of course reward him in kind later, so he continued trying to make the story as colorful as possible.
"Easy, the reason is that the older twin becomes the ancestor while the younger one becomes the clan head… and they share the same wife, not only that, the rumors say that they have to take the same woman at the same time in order to have offspring, but the domineering will always be the older brother".
"Then when the next twins are born, the older one will be the father of the older twin, at the same time the younger one will be the father of the younger twin, the cycle continues infinitely, also the woman grows attached to the older brother".
"Uwaah, that sucks, it means that once they are born, their destiny is to get cheated on", concluded the same guy who asked.
After listening to the story, all the female students immediately stopped supporting Caleb, in this world having more than one partner isn't weird, and this applies to both men and women, the reason is quite simple, their lives are really long so at some point they have to deal with being bored.
But while sisters are not that against sharing the same husband, brothers would totally don't do it, not willingly at least, so you can imagine how conflictive is for the twins of the Allier family know they will end up just like their fathers.
Back at the platform Caleb gritted his teeth, while his brother was indifferent on the bench, that was because he was the older one, while Caleb was the younger one, this has been something that weighs in his heart since he learned about it.
"Forget it, I can deal with that later… members of the Faresh family, I will remember this", he thought before focusing on his opponent, just to see Wade disdainfully looking at him.
"What the hell are you laughing at, you pussy-whipped bird asshole?".
Needless to say, but all the other males from the snow eagle clan reacted as if someone just killed their parents, different kinds of insults filled the arena until the staff from the army interfered to prevent a riot.
Inside the skybox of the elite class, Daimon had a weird expression, previously he didn't notice it as the members of the snow eagle clan weren't that numerous in the academy, and all of them were guys with the exception of Liliana, that or all the other girls didn't come to see the tournament.
Also, all of them shared a couple of things in common… all of them were knights and all of them could be considered short, even that Wade guy was about ten centimeters shorter compared to Liliana and he was way older considering he is a second-year student.
Daimon couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, until he hard Aura's amused voice.
"Female eagles are about one third size bigger than even their largest male counterparts, and the members of the snow eagle clan follow that same trait".
As he was about to agree with her, he remembered that Horace guy from earlier and if his memory didn't fail him, he was slightly taller than Anya reaching about 1.85 meters height.
Noticing Daimon's gaze, the corner of Anya's lips trembles as an almost unnoticeable smile flourished in her face.
"Platform shoes… he is as tall as Liliana".
… For a moment silence fell in the room before Calvin finally couldn't hold back his laugh.
"HAHAHA, Michael are you perhaps part of the Risha family?".
Michael felt a vein popping on his neck, but he didn't say anything.
Daimon shook his head, apparently all the families had their own little not so secrets, which he never paid attention to before.
"Anything I should know about the Revy and Argent families… I'm considered a variant of both races", asked Daimon through the mental connection.
"Werewolves tend to be muscle head exhibitionists just look at their supreme elder", said Erin with a playful voice.
"As for the guys of the Revy family, they are considered scheming and arrogant, although that's not always the case, there is an exception among the third years and that is a direct relative from that scarred old man".
Listening to Erin answering in the name of the werewolves while Aura did it for the Revy family, made Daimon inwardly laugh, but he was also interested in these peculiar characteristics which probably had something to do with their respective races.
This world lacked a lot in some areas of research considering for how long has the civilization existed, for example in medicine, they didn't even have x-ray machines.
On the other hand, since doctors can use mana sense to detect the source of problems, there was not really a need for such technologies, but it's that same ideology which had been stopping them from a lot of useful discoveries, like genetic investigation for example, luckily the Greenwich Sage picks up any random interesting thing, which from time-to-time leads to a new advance.
Back at the platform, feeling the ridiculing gazes of the spectators, Wade's eyes became bloodshot, the eagle is a king among the bird races so why must he be humiliated by a mere insect (Caleb is part of the illusory silk worm race), who used to be lower than him in the ranks.
For second years, when two of the members from the elite class have a duel, their ranks are swapped according to the result, in other words the winner takes the place of the loser and vice versa, and he was defeated yesterday by the current rank eight.
Wade stole a gaze at the guy from the fire crane clan which looked at him with an amused expression, and he gritted his teeth.
"Whatever I can destroy this sissy as a warm up, then it will be your turn, Jester", he thought.
"Whoosh~", gusts of wind twirled around Wade as he activated his battle aura at the maximum output right from the beginning, surprisingly small signs of freeze appeared on the platform after entering into contact with his battle aura.
"What!", most of the freshmen were in awe thinking that the guy who they mocked before was apparently a dual elemental knight, something even rarer than a dual elemental mage.
But those who knew more about the snow eagle clan and those with a high enough perception in either wind or ice elements, among which Michael and Liliana were included, shook their heads.
"That's not ice element".
"That's not wind element either".
They both said practically at the same time, helping Daimon confirm his supposition.
"It's similar to what happened to Aura's lightning, a variation of elements".
Liliana looked at her mother and seeing that she didn't seem to want to talk anymore, she took over.
,m "The members of the snow eagle clan either have wind, water or ice affinities, being ice the rarest, but there are also combinations of them due to generations of families that chose their partners based on that, that's because it's easier for them to inherit a combination than to awaken ice affinity".
"Among the main branches of the snow eagle clan, their "ace" developed for the male heirs, is that combination of wind and ice affinities, they call it "blizzard" element, as for women they usually get "snow" element, the result of a mix between water and ice elements".
Seeing her students have doubts, Aliya took the chance for a little lesson.
"Living beings have more than one affinity that's why daily life spells are available for everyone regardless of their affinity".
"It's just that one element is dominant and the others are dormant to the point that using magic from the others is practically impossible, the reason as to why dual elemental mages are rare isn't the number of affinities, but the amount of tension their mana circuits can endure", she said as she stole a couple of gazes at Daimon, Aisha and Michael.
"Twice the affinity it's the same as twice the amount of stress on the mana circuits as two different elements had to circulate through them, which often results in combinations like blizzard element".
Seeing that some of them still showed confusion in their faces, Aliya decided to aboard the subject from a different point of view.
"Let's say one affinity amounts to 100%, then having two affinities is the same as 200%, but a combination it's just the original 100% distribute in two different elements… in this case wind and ice, by the looks of it I would say it's about 80% wind and 20% ice".
Daimon nodded agreeing with Aliya's explanation, in his infinity eyes he could see the mix of two different types of mana, but unlike Aura who got her own element potentiated, the one in the battle Aura of Wade wasn't as fast and sharp as wind, nor as cold and malleable as ice, in other words he would never be as fast as a wind mage nor as good in crowd control as an ice mage.
"Mm… now that I have infinity eyes, I should inspect Aura's element, and also that little tiger girl too, it should be helpful for me to understand more about demon light", he concluded.
That time when he was forming his battle aura, although the achievement wasn't high enough to unlock his grimoire, he still got a decent reward after creating demon light but as strong as it might be, he still thought it was lacking something and now there was a new path opening for him, whether he manages to surpass his own limit or not, only the future would tell.
