"First because it's hard to become strong enough to get seals. Second, because our status isn't the same at all. There are just a few of us, while there's an Infinity of normal Monsters. You might have already guessed, but the number of Leviathans could be counted with a human's hand. The same applies to all the other beasts. Pheonixes, Dragons, Griffon and so on. We are very few, so it's normal that our seals are stronger."
"Well you explained who could give seals in generals, but not their classifications nor what they do," Kye pointed out after thinking for a moment.
Hearing that, Ras take a look at Aria and sent her a mind link. 'Should we tell him what they do?'
'While we're at it, we might as well tell everything,' Aria answered calmly to Ras before responding to Kye. "There are four seals. The first one is the Submission seal. This seal allows someone to mark a lot of people, thus creating its own territory while expanding it over time as long as there are more people under the submission seal. This seal also allows us to see the next seal, which is the Enemy seal. As its name implies, this allows you to mark someone else as your enemy. And this person would have a hard time entering your territory, and even less fight inside of it. Then you have the acquaintance seal. This seal is the one that is used to mark those you trust a little more than those under the submission seal, but not enough for the friend seal. For example, a lot of us, mythical beasts mark as acquaintances with other mythical beasts. As for the friend seal, it is the less used of all. To be honest it is only used when you trust someone enough to give a part of your power to this person. A power that this person would be able to use against you if you're not careful. Though, this situation is very rare because, until the time the friend seal evolves to give you real power, a lot of time passes. Enough time to trust the other fully."
"Does that mean that I will get a portion of your power?" Kye asked with wide-open eyes. He didn't expect that the friend seal was so valuable in reality. "Does that mean I would be able to control water? And fire if I get Ras' friend seal?"
"Yes, that's right," Ras answered with a little too much excitation. "Although every person will develop our power differently, you will still be able to use something along the line."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtKye stared blankly at them for a moment. Aria and Ras thought for a moment that he didn't say anything because he was too grateful, but the reality was very different. "I'm sorry but I can't!"
"What?"
"What?"
Both of them said at the same time. Although Aria should have expected such an answer, she just didn't think that Kye was still too kind to accept a gift like this. However, Ras didn't know Kye enough to know that.
So with a sad tone, he said. "Does that mean that you don't wanna be my friend?"
"What?" This time it was Kye's turn to be shocked. "Of course, I want to be. But I can't accept such a great thing. Both of you want to give me so much while I don't have anything to give you back. To be honest, if I knew, I wouldn't have accepted Aria's friend seal either. But I guess it can't be taken back now," He looked down.
"Indeed, I can't take it back," Aria said. "However Kye. You do know that it is impolite to refuse someone's gift, right?" She tried to help Ras a little. In reality, they wouldn't gain anything by helping him that much. However, the future was filled with mystery, so if one person could be strong in the future, it will be with no doubt, Kye. And even though she was probably the only one thinking like this right now because Ras was a much more straightforward person, it didn't change the fact that their friend seals would help him during great battles in the distant future. So it was in their best interest for all of them that Kye get Ras' seal as well.
Though, she couldn't say her thoughts since it wasn't the main topic right now.
"It's not that I don't want," Kye said, almost giving up. What Aria said was the killing blow for someone like him. Ras was someone very kind, and he didn't want to make him sad or angry. "It's just that I don't think it's good for me to receive things without never giving anything back in return."
"Do you seriously want to repay me?" Ras asked with a sigh as Kye nodded. "Then become my boyfriend."
"What?" Kye exclaimed as Aria slapped Ras's head hard.
"Why did you do that?" Ras asked with what looked like small tears coming out of his eyes
"He's straight, you dumbass," Aria glared at him as if she was looking at a dumb monkey. "He got hard after seeing me for the first time," She sighed as well.
"I'm straight as well. And a great guy too!"

After some more quarrels between both of them, kye felt as if he had to stop them. He was the center of the talk, but couldn't say anything.
"Please, listen to me," Kye said after mustering enough courage. Both of them looked at him fiercely. "E- even though I am very honored by your proposition, Ras, I can't accept, I'm sorry."
"Does that mean that you already have another boyfriend?" His eyes were filled with what looked like a flame. "And does that mean you'll still refuse my friend seal?"
"I don't have any boyfriend. I'm still single, and I will accept your friend seal even if I can't give you anything back in return."
"Yay! It worked," Ras exclaimed with a big smile. "And sorry for making you think I was gay or bi."
"What do you mean?" Kye asked with a forced smile.
"I'm straight as well. But this little scene was just to make you accept my seal," He smiled brightly. "My tongue even slipped by saying I was straight for a moment. But thankfully it seems that you didn't notice because of how shocked you were, hehe."
