Chapter 9: Plans
This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
The next morning, Grey got up early, although he still felt dejected because of his talent, he couldn’t hide his joy of being able to finally cultivate.
Now all he needs is a cultivation technique for his element. He still wanted to join an Academy though, but with his current talent, that’s not happening. “I will improve my talent, that way they will accept me even though I awakened late”
Grey already had a plan in his heart, he would first comprehend the Lightning element to improve his talent, then after that, he will join the Academy to have a better cultivation technique.
The cultivation technique which followed the pearl was only for the circulation, now, he needs a technique for each element separately. The higher the grade of the technique the faster he can cultivate.
Grey washed up and went downstairs, he saw his meal was on the table and quickly wolfed it down before heading out. Grey initially wanted to try comprehending the Lightning element, but he decided against it. I will continue my training for now.
Grey left the house for his usual training session and came back earlier than usual.
“Grey, why did you come back this early?” Martha inquired when she saw him coming home early.
“I couldn’t concentrate, so I just came back home” Grey replied.
Martha looked at her son for some time, “Did something happen?”.
Grey knew he couldn’t hide anything from her, so he just told her what happened.
On his way to training, he was blocked by Derek and his squad. Although they didn’t fight, he was mocked by them. What annoyed him the most was when he remembered the fact that he had Pink talent, so there was no use talking about it.
Grey wasn’t someone who acts out of anger, so he was able to restrain himself from fighting. But due to his youth and hot bloodedness, he told them he would be taking part in the test that was going to take place in 3 months.
He was laughed at by them, Derek laughed so much and said he would tell the entire city about it.
Martha looked at Grey and shook her head. “Will you be able to complete the tenth circulation before then?” She knew how hard it was to complete each circle and Grey also told her the process gets harder with each circle.
Martha wasn’t aware Grey had already completed it the previous day. Grey hadn’t been able to tell her, he planned on telling her tonight during dinner.
“Mom, I completed it yesterday,” Grey said.
“That’s good, and?” Martha asked as she knew this wasn’t something ordinary.
Grey recounted everything that happened, including telling her about the man and also the chaos element. Martha was left stunned by this information. She was surprised by the fact that Grey could increase his talent. But what truly surprised her was that Grey’s original elemental affinity was the rare Lightning element, although it was only a Pink grade talent, it wasn’t really bad since the element was unique.
She felt genuinely happy for her son and teardrops unknowingly left her eyes. She knew just how much Grey had suffered for this. If she was given an option, she would never have allowed her husband to do this.
Now her little boy will be able to show them all, who was the most talented. What got her reeling was the fact that with Grey’s ability to be able to improve his talent if he could get a purple talent before the test, he would definitely be fought over by the Academy and might even attract attention from the higher-ups of the empire.
Having a Lightning element is something which rarely happens, adding to the fact that the owner is a purple talent, that will give him more attention.
The Lightning element is as destructive as the Fire element, and it also gives the user almost unparalleled speed which is also one of the advantages of the Wind element. It is sometimes regarded as a 2 in 1 element.
She didn’t have any techniques for the Lightning element and getting one would be difficult. But, if Grey was able to join any of the Academies, he will be able to get a high grade technique.
“Grey, you have to work hard. If you can push your talent to Purple before the test, that would be great” Martha said.
“Yes mom, I know what to do” Grey already planned this. He will work hard to improve his talent before the teat, then shock the entire city with his results.
Grey left Martha before heading to his room. He tried meditating but to no avail. So he just gave up and started reminiscing about how he had been treated by everyone in the city.
He was mocked and abused by everyone. His so-called friends stopped talking to him because he wasn’t an Elementalist. He was downcast during that time, but his mother has always been there with him all the time. She was his backbone when he couldn’t stand up straight. She made sure she did everything she could to assist him, she was his greatest support.
“Mom, we will show the world how wrong they are soon” Grey clenched his fist tightly. Even if he doesn’t want to do this for himself, he has to do it for his mother. He is grateful to his mother, if not for her, he would have still been down, wallowing in self pity.
He promised himself he was going to make his mother proud. Not only that, but he would be her source of joy. The best is the only thing he wishes for her.
After this test, his life would change completely. His social status will also change. He imagined the look of shock that will be written in the faces of everyone when he gets the test done.
“How would they react, I can’t wait to find out” Grey smiled to himself, he was going to give it his all.
