Uncle Tom remarked, "They can also fight alongside you, and if you want, your spirits can also turn into weapons."

    "What kind of weapons?" Jake asked eagerly.

    "Spirit Armaments is the name. Each spirit also has the capability to morph into a weapon, and that''s the main reason why they are sought after the most," Tom explained.

    "Cool! Say, Uncle Tom, when can our spirits turn into Armaan-arman.. Weapons?" Jimmy asked, momentarily forgetting the term Armament.

    "Hahaha, it''s Armament, and they..." Tom was about to explain when Reynolds'' voice interrupted from outside.

    "is it over? Tom," Reynolds called to Tom.

    "It''s over. You can take the kids," Tom replied to Reynolds, then turned to the kids and said, "I will tell you later about it. Now go on and train with Reynolds."

    Jake and the others nodded and left Tom''s house. Outside, they saw Reynolds standing with four glasses of milk.

    "Finally, you brats are out. Now drink up and run around the park, and then do a set of Elite''s Drill," Reynolds instructed while passing the glasses.

    "Yes ×4," Jake and the others shouted and started running.

    As the kids ran, Reynolds asked Tom, "How did it go?"

    Tom, coming near him, replied, "Everyone got a spirit."

    "All of them got it on the first try?" Reynolds asked again.

    "Yes, I know it''s shocking, but it''s true," Tom smiled and said.

    "When does forming bonds with spirits become this easier?" Reynolds muttered, looking at the kids'' backs.

    "I know, right? Even I got the attention of one on the 3rd try and finally formed a bond on the 5th try," Tom warily smiled and commented.

    "Well, I got one on the 4th try," Reynolds said.

    Forming bonds with spirits is very difficult, and there are only five chances for each person. If anyone wasn''t able to find a bond after all five tries, they would never be able to form a bond with one ever in their life.

    "What spirits did they get?" Reynolds asked as they walked back to the park.

    "Emily got a wind spirit, Jimmy got Melody, Mark got Frost Fire, a dual element, and lastly, Jake... I am not sure, but it''s probably a space type spirit or void type," Tom replied.

    "Good spirits, all of them got. But why are you not sure about Jake''s?" Reynolds nodded and then asked.

    Tom then explained to Reynolds what happened after Jake tried to form a bond.

    "Hmm, it''s really something new. Even I have never heard of it," Reynolds said.

    "What''s your spirit''s opinion about it?" Reynolds then asked.

    "Even I don''t know about it," before Tom could reply, a lightning spirit came out of Tom''s shadow and responded.

    "Mane, how about you?" Reynolds nodded and then said.

    "I have also never heard about it," a rough voice sounded and replied to Reynolds'' inquiry.

    "Is that your spirit?" Tom asked, looking at the small lion cub on Reynolds'' shoulder.

    The small lion cub raised its paw as if greeting him.

    "Yes, his name is Mane," Reynolds nodded.@@@@

    "Does Jake know?" Tom asked after a moment.

    "About what?" Reynolds asked.

    "Um," Emily raised her hand, and Sera asked her what her question was.

    "This creates Rune...." Emily asked her question, and then others also asked while Sera patiently explained everything to them, and at 6:00 o''clock, the class ended.

    "Don''t forget to revise what you learned today," Sera said as Jake''s friends left the house.

    "Yes, ma''am," others said.

    Jake also returned to his room and started finding out about his spirit.

    "Nexux, tell me about Astralium," Jake asked.

    [Astralium

    Title: Celestial Guide

    Attribute: Void

    Description: Astralium is a spirit that helps explorers lost in the void; he helps them come out of the void.

    Special Ability: Void Travel, Void Magic

    -Void Travel: Void Travel involves manipulating the energies of the void, allowing a practitioner to traverse the spaces between realms. It demands a profound connection with the mysterious void and a keen mastery of its forces to navigate safely through the cosmic emptiness, bridging the gaps between distant dimensions.]

    "So it''s Void elemental," Jake nodded and understood.

    Jake then closed his eyes, focusing on his connection with Astralium, and soon he got connected with him, reaching his soul space.

    "Do you need anything?" Focusing on the voice in the ethereal glow, Jake discerned a spectral figure draped in an enigmatic robe that seemed to meld seamlessly with the shadows. Suspended in midair, the hood obscured any glimpse of a face, leaving only the haunting glow of two piercing purple orbs.

    Limbs veiled beneath the mystical shroud, the figure exuded an aura of otherworldly secrecy, casting an eerie presence in the dimly lit space.

    "You are Astralium?" Jake asked, looking at the black specter.

    "Yes, it''s me," Astralium replied, his voice sounding like a young man''s.

    "I don''t need anything, just wanted to see how you look," Jake nodded and replied.

    "Have you seen now? Then get out," Astralium said in the same emotionless voice.

    "So cold. Don''t you want to talk with me?" Jake said.

    "No," Astralium replied instantly.

    Jake: "...."

    "Ahem, how about you tell me about spirit armament," Jake coughed and said.

    "You are weak," Astralium replied and waved his hand, or what seemed to be, and Jake found himself back in his room.

    "I got kicked out of my own soul space?" Jake muttered, looking at the ceiling.

    [Yep, you got kicked out.] Nexus nodded.

    "I wasn''t asking you," Jake grumbled.

    [Don''t worry; he might be a shy type... ]

    "Or a straightforward type," Jake interrupted and said.

    [... Might be. Don''t worry; some spirits only talk when necessary, like your friend Emily.]

    "Hmm," Jake nodded and started using refinement art.
