Seeing how Seron behaved, Jason couldn't help but feel weird.
Even if it was true that he wanted to support Seron in his choice, it was not as if he would pick his friend's soulbond just like that.
There was also the possibility that the Earth Dragon egg with the best potential would be worse for Sero because their compatibility might be bad.
In the end, the potential of a beast was just an indicator for the limits of its mana core rank, which could even be enhanced later on.
Thus, Jason thought that it was more important for Seron to trust his gut feeling to choose the Earth Dragon egg he felt the most compatible with as it might help him to build a fortified soul conjunction faster than with the eggs.
In the end, this was something Shane and Malia told him when he asked them what he should pay attention to if he were to pick a new soulbond.
When they answered, Jason was first a little bit astonished but their answer seemed to be at least partially true because he already witnessed this to a certain extent by himself.
He was unsure if his gut-feeling helped him to pick either Artemis, Scorpio, or the black origin flame, but that might be the case even if it would remain a mystery for now.
To put a simply, Jason felt that he had a high compatibility with all of his soulbonds and it might be because of this, that he was able to form a fortified soul conjunction at such a young age.
As such, he just took a glance at the three mana eggs and noticed to his astonishment that the egg with the lowest mana fluctuations among the three had the highest potential with faint dark-blue strands intertwined in the thick purple color that enveloped the egg.

Seeing this, Jason was about to say that the left Earth Dragon egg had the highest potential as he averted his gaze towards Seron who looked at him with expectations after he noticed that Jason inspected the eggs with his mana eyes.
"To put it simply, each of the three Earth Dragon eggs is a suitable pick for you and there is no need to hesitate.
Remember that your gut feeling, positive and negative feelings towards one of the eggs could help you to pick the most suitable for you! I won't tell you which one you should choose, because it is your decision and not anyone else's.
You will have to live with the choice you make, for the rest of your life!"
Hearing this, Seron looked at him with squinted eyes as he didn't expect his friend to lecture him.
He only wanted to receive help in choosing his second soulbond and not this kind of 'support'.
Sighing deeply, he turned towards Till, who could only grin brightly from further away as the Earth Dragons didn't allow him to come closer to their eggs.
"You know that Jason said the same as I did before! Trust your gut feeling and you will most likely receive the best outcome."
Till was glad to have brought Jason with them to the Earth Dragon territory because it made everything much easier and they didn't need to put in so much effort to even approach the eggs as it was the case before.

Now that Jason also lectured Seron about his gut-feeling and what his innermost emotions towards each egg told him, Till couldn't help but smile.
Noticing that Till repeated the same he already did the last time they entered the Earth Dragon territory, Seron could only frown as he inwardly cursed both his master and Jason for a short while before he averted his attention towards the eggs.
Inspecting all of them carefully, he was not exactly sure what he should feel or do because it was not necessary for his first soulbond which he received from his father to recuperate from his malfunctioned mana veins and nothing else.
This changed now completely because he wanted to bind his first real soulbond with which he would have to fight side by side for the rest of their lives.
As such, Seron slowly began to understand what the others wanted to explain to him, and he immediately disregarded the curses which still lingered in his mind.
Trying to figure out what egg he should choose, more than an hour passed until he could finally feel something that Seron presumed to be the emotions his master and Jason were talking about.
However, the Earth Dragon egg the emotions filled with amity came from, was the one with the weakest mana fluctuations.
Looking intently at this egg, Jason couldn't refrain from smiling, as he said
"Is that your choice or does one of the other Earth Dragon eggs give you the same feeling?"
Updated from novelpub[.]com
Subconsciously shaking his head, both Till and Jason could tell that Seron made his choice and even if Till felt slightly astonished that his disciple's choice was the egg with the weakest mana fluctuations, the difference was not large and wouldn't make a major difference once it matured.
Having chosen his second soulbond, Seron reassured himself that it was the best choice as his gut feeling also told him so, while the amity between them was already established without the need of a soulbond contract.
As such, Jason readied himself, as he approached the Earth Dragon egg he chose.
The Earth Dragon mothers saw this and took the other two eggs away in order to bring them to the most secure place in their small lair while the last Earth Dragon mother remained, spending as much time with her offspring as possible.
Taking out a small knife from his storage device, Seron cut his hand, while trying to ignore the Earth Dragon mother's growling before he loosened up a thread from his soul which he led through his body towards his bleeding hand.
Laying his hand on top of the eggshell, sweat pearls formed on his forehead as he took a deep breath when the soul thread invaded the Earth Dragon egg.
Shaking slightly, the egg didn't show any other signs and only Jason could see how the soul thread spread through the whole shell before it began to approach the being inside the egg.
Only 15 minutes passed until the whole process was done, but Seron was fully drenched in his own sweat, while his face turned from a rosy-red to a paper-white, which alarmed Till, who approached Seron even though the Dragon mother was growling.
When Till reached Seron's side, he could barely look at him, before he smiled lightly, as he said.

"I did it!"
After he muttered these words, Seron fainted as the Earth Dragon egg in front of him vanished inside a large brown-reddish mana circle that appeared below it.
Entering Seron's soul world, Jason began to ask himself how long it would take before the Earth Dragon would hatch, as the Earth Dragon mother next to them roared out with mana amplifying it.
However, instead of an aggressive, intimidating roar, it was more like a cry in anguish and sorrow as the sheer mass of emotions within the roar infiltrated Jason, Till, and the unconscious Seron, who flinched.
Suddenly, Jason felt the sadness deep within him erupting, and he subconsciously thought about his mother, while Till didn't seem to be in a better condition.
Seeing this, Jason could only hear Till curse quietly.
"Can't I be spared from this bullshit, at least once?"
Hearing this from Till was weird to Jason because he didn't think that he was such a vulgar man but he felt the same as the Earth Dragon Mother's cry in anguish was only slightly less impactful reminiscence-ceremony from the foreign races.
