The gazes of everyone were directed towards Yale. Gazes filled with worship.
What Yale had done to the bandits was something that all of them considered impossible, it wasn't just a matter of being powerful, they felt that Yale just ignored all the common sense about the world.
It wasn't just that Yale ignored the rules of the World's Protection to blend them as he wished, he had also turned those bandits into children, which was something that no one among the group could comprehend as they felt that one could only become older, never younger.
Moreover, they also suffered some side effects after receiving the life aura of Yale. Most of them made small breakthroughs and their bodies, in a bad state due to the lack of food, became healthy and even the small problems in their bodies solved completely.
The skinny man, who wasn't as skinny as before and just looked like a slim man, had even advanced to the Apprentice Rank due to the influence of Yale's life aura.
Any breakthrough was extremely difficult for people without resources like them, but they advanced more with an instant of feeling Yale's aura than in ten years of hard work.
At that moment, all of them didn't care anymore for their objectives and were all ready to spend their lives following Yale even if they needed to act like slaves. Of course, Yale didn't have any intention of having them as followers, nor would treat a follower as a slave.
Yale landed on the floor at the same time that his hair and eyes returned to normal.
"Alright. I will teach you a bit now. Let's go."
Ignoring the shock of the group completely, Yale spoke to the little girl.
The others felt jealousy of that little girl's luck, but they didn't dare to speak about it for fear of offending Yale.
"Take this."
Yale took out a whip and threw it to the little girl.
"This is the weapon that suits you the most for battle."
That little girl wasn't suited for close range battles, so the best choice for her was the whip and archery, but archery was more difficult to train properly in her state, so Yale decided that the whip would be the best for her to start.
"Is this for me?"
The little girl was shocked when she received the whip as weapons were quite expensive as far as she knew. Even in their group, they almost didn't have replacement weapons, and the quality was terrible. However, the whip she received from Yale was top class.
In fact, the whip was quite normal in Yale's eyes. He had collected a lot of weapons in the Storage Space and his storage artifacts, and that whip wasn't among the best. However, for common people, let alone the weapons Yale considered normal, even the ones Yale considered trash were excellent.
"It is a gift but be sure to don't lose it."
Although Yale didn't mind giving her another whip if she truly lost it, he felt that it was important for kids to value their possessions.
"I will treasure it!"
Yale saw that the girl was hugging the whip as if that was the best present, she had received in her life, and in fact, that was indeed the best present she had received in her life. Even the whole wealth of her family wouldn't be enough to buy that whip.
The rest were all jealous when seeing that whip, but no one had intentions of stealing it or selling it to win money as they felt that Yale would be angry by any of those actions.
Everyone believed that whoever dared to steal that whip would be cursed by Yale, and they weren't wrong since Yale had left a protection spell in case of someone stealing it.
It was one thing if the girl decided to sell it, or if she lost it because of being careless, but if someone dared to steal it from her, the whip itself would kill the thief.
"Next, I will tell you your affinity with magic."
The eyes of the girl sparkled when hearing that because she always wanted to practice the Magus Path, but she always felt that it was impossible given her situation.
The rest also felt envious, but all of those who were older than sixteen wouldn't have chances to surpass the Mortal Rank even if they trained under Yale's instruction.
Of course, they didn't think that if Yale tampered with their ages as he did with those bandits, it would turn possible.
"Your Magic Latent Talent isn't bad, so there won't be any problem with you practicing the Magus Path."
In fact, after being touched by Yale's life aura, everyone in the group developed a Magic Latent Talent, and those who had it from the start have it boosted even more. Of course, no one had trained the Magus Path despite having the affinity, since they didn't even know how to train it.
That little girl had the lowest grade Magic Latent Talent at the start, but after the effects of Yale's aura, the Magic Latent Talent grade changed into a high one.
Yale could easily modify the Magic Latent Talent without any difficulty if he tried, but with his teachings, even someone with the lowest grade Magic Latent Talent would be able to be successful.
"Next, your affinities. You only have two, water and healing, but they are a good match and healing is a strange affinity."
The girl's talent for water was natural despite not being high, but the bit of talent for healing that she had was obtained due to Yale's life aura. Of course, that talent for healing was just at the lowest grade, but with Yale as the teacher, it was enough.
Yale knew that he had unconsciously changed the innate talents of those people in the group. Although it was usually considered something impossible to happen, those who considered impossible didn't know about Essences and using them obtaining perfect grade affinities corresponding to the essence wasn't difficult at all.
Yale had spread the life aura from the Life Essence, so all of them became affected by it as a side effect, but if he used an Essence, without any intention to harm, against them constantly, the effects would be far greater.
However, consciously doing that to weaklings had a lot of chances to end messing with their fate, so usually, those measures were only used after becoming an Essence God.
Two Essence Gods using their Essences to improve the talent of the other was quite usual among those who knew about the requirements to become a World God.
After all, training Laws and Essences was already difficult with perfect grade talent, so for those without any talent at all, it was almost impossible.
Of course, obtaining a legacy or having an excellent teacher was enough to supply that gap, but being powerful wasn't equivalent to being good at teaching, and that was the reason for Liye being so valued by others, his superb teaching capabilities.
The rest of the group didn't know anything about their talents having changed due to Yale because they didn't even know their talents from before, but when they heard that the little girl had the talent for learning healing spells, they started to cry for happiness. Even those who were from different families did it.
After all, coming from the same town and having traveled together was still something that tied them. Thus, after the little girl matured as a healer, they would have an acquaintance who could heal which was something they couldn't even wish before.
It was obvious for them that Yale would disappear at some moment since there was no way that he would remain behind with weaklings like them, but the little girl would probably remain living with her family, so it would be possible to rely on her in the future.
"For now, you will start training into a combined skill. Don't waste time in trash skills just because they are easier."
Everyone felt that Yale was starting with an extremely high difficulty, but they also felt that for someone like Yale, it was normal having huge standards.
Yale materialized a whip that was constantly changing between water and ice.
"Water and whips combine very well. I don't expect you to create the real object from nothing like me but combining it with your whip should be enough for now."
After saying those words, Yale started to give instructions to the little girl while all the rest heard about it.
Yale explained the basics of training both paths loudly, so everyone heard it and felt that their own compression of the path was like that of a newborn compared with Yale.
The teachings were focused on helping the little girl, but the basics for practicing were the same for everyone, so all the rest managed to start practicing the Magus Path. They were shocked to have succeeded, and even though except the kids, they wouldn't be able to reach the Novice Rank, being able to learn a bit of magic was already very good.
Yale knew that the others were secretly learning, and he was speaking in a loud voice because he didn't mind about it.
Yale was only teaching a kid, but he also started to deepen his comprehension of the Water Law and even started to comprehend the Whip Law simultaneously since that was the first time, he used a whip after returning from the Timeless Border.
