Elian.
The problem with multiplication was that the numbers didn't feel like anything.
Formation theory made sense. Elian could look at a diagram of intersecting energy lines and know — without calculation, without study — where the nodes should anchor and how the pathways should flow. Silas had shown the class a third-tier formation array and asked them to identify the primary resonance point. Elian had pointed to it before Silas finished the question. Not because he was smart. Because the diagram hummed, and the humming was loudest at the resonance point, and pointing at the loud part wasn't intelligence — it was hearing.
But six times seven was just... six times seven. The numbers sat on the page like stones. They didn't hum. They didn't pulse. They had no resonance, no flow, no warmth. They were abstract in a way that the concrete, singing world of spiritual energy was not.
