"H- ha?"
"Fruit, Alysia. It won't work."
Aiden pulled back the hand on my shoulder, but I couldn't shake off my shock, nor my eyes locked on his.
"What the fruit does is allow the elves' genetics to reach their maximum potential. And even if that potential is in your genetics, it's mixed with another that is holding it back."
I continued to look at him with a blank expression.
I... knew what he was saying.
It wasn't something I didn't know.
But... wouldn't it still work, that the fruit would bring this potential my genetics have to the fore?
"No, it won't."
His gray eyes were completely blank, as if he felt nothing as his lips spoke these words.
"It will increase the maximum level of power you can reach, maybe, but only by a few grades. You will remain a prisoner to your pills. Your elven side will pull you down as much as it pulls you up, for it is flawed. Your seizures will even be more severe because the amount of mana in your body will increase."
