"So, does that mean I don't have a real gift?" Kyle asked, changing the topic. "I mean, if you can also eat beasts, what's the point of my gift?"
"There must be something to it," Sebastian said, going along with the new topic. "Have you really tested your gift?"
"I mean, yeah," Kyle said.
"What can you eat?" Sebastian asked.
"Beasts, humans, and metals," Kyle said.
"Dwarves can't eat metal, right?" Sebastian asked.
"I don't think they can," Kyle said.
The next moment, Kyle summoned a bit of iron and pushed it to Sebastian.
"Down the hatch," Sebastian said, crunching down on the metal.
Kyle could hear the sounds of crunching metal from several meters away.
The more Sebastian chewed, the more his face distorted in disgust.
Then, he spat the wet globs of crunched iron to the ground.
"Nope," he said.
Kyle summoned some iron and put it over his tongue.
Sebastian could see how the iron immediately dissolved.
In less than a second, it was completely gone.
"Crazy," he commented. "I can't do that. Have you tried eating something else?"
"I tried eating earth," Kyle said. "It kinda works, but not really. I just use more Ether to digest it than I gain out of it."
Sebastian raised a brow. "Maybe that's because you don't have an Affinity for it."
"Affinity?" Kyle asked. "You think I can eat fire and wind?"
"Have you tried?" Sebastian asked.
Kyle looked at the ground. "No."
"Well, let's go!" Sebastian said, shooting into the ground.
Kyle followed him, and after just a couple of seconds, they found a stream of magma.
"Try it," Sebastian said.
Kyle grabbed a bit of magma and put it into his mouth.
It broke down almost immediately.
"It's weird," Kyle said. "I think it's because it's made of Earth and Fire Ether. Wait a sec."
Kyle shot out of the hole they had made and returned a couple of seconds later with several trees, which he dumped onto the magma.
The trees immediately burst into flames, and Kyle opened his mouth.
'How the fuck am I supposed to eat fire? Am I supposed to just snap at it with my teeth?'
Yet, as soon as Kyle wanted to eat the fire, the flames changed direction.
They became more intense, and the wood almost immediately burned into ash as all the flames entered Kyle's mouth.
Kyle opened his eyes in shock.
"What the fuck?" he said. "I didn't know I could do that!"
"See? It's not that bad!" Sebastian said with a smile.
"I want to try something, " Kyle said before he shot further into the ground.
