Affinity:Chaos
840 Promising Batch
Grey's performance stunned the Elders, as well as the youths watching the battles. They never thought Grey was actually that powerful.
The Elder who recommended Grey had a calm expression since this was not his first time seeing Grey battle, the others didn't have the same expression. Each had a look of surprise on their faces.
With the completion of the sparring contest, the competition would follow right after. Grey and three others secured the other four spots. Keith was unsuccessful in his attempt to fight for a good position. This was within his expectations, so he wasn't feeling too disappointed by the result.
Since Grey would be taking part in the competition, he started to encourage him as much as he could. Grey was his friend, so he naturally wanted the best for him. To him, Grey had a better chance of taking a good position compared to the other geniuses at the Peak of the Overlord Plane.
When they were done with the sparring contest, they all went back to their houses. According to what Keith and the Elder told Grey, the competition would be taking place in a week time, so they would be transported to the place in a few days.
On Grey's way back to his place, he was approached by the five geniuses who were already part of the initial six that would be taking place in the competition. They invited him over for a meeting, which he accepted.
He met up with the group later that day, and he was greeted with a group of around twenty people, all youths were at the Peak of the Overlord Plane. He searched for the people who invited him over, and sat down by their side.
They spoke for the rest of the day, and Grey got to know the others who would be taking part in the competition, except for a certain talented genius. The genius was regarded as the number one figure under the Sage Plane in the Pyrmond Faction. Unlike the others, they would be meeting him at the place of the competition.
There were rumors of him having the Emerald elemental grade, but people didn't know what his real elemental grade was. He was a Dual Elementalist, having the fire and space elements.
Grey was a little interested in this figure who had the Emerald elemental grade, since there were rumors about this, the chances of it being true was quite high. Not just that, but even if he doesn't have it, he shouldn't be too far from it.
Grey for instance currently had an Emerald elemental grade for his fire element, and he knew his current strength was above what it used to be. It was also said that this young man had gotten entangled with a Sage Plane Elementalist, and although he didn't win, he didn't lose either.
This was not an easy feat. The current Grey could naturally achieve this, but he never thought there would be people who could achieve this as well. This mainly has to do with him not encountering those geniuses that were top tier regularly.
He left the gathering and went back to his place. To his surprise he saw the Elder waiting for him there.
"I see you have an interest in arrays?" The Elder muttered as he looked at the few marks Grey drew around the place.
He was a little impressed by it, but Grey's mastery was not on his level.
Grey nodded before bowing as a sign of showing his respect to the Elder. The Elder nodded before taking a seat.
The Elder spoke with him a little while, giving Void a long look. He felt there was something odd about him, but he didn't want to speak about it. Void was Grey's pet, and there was no need to ask about it.
After staying for a little while, he told Grey to follow him. With a wave of his hand, they disappeared.
They appeared in a hidden cave. Grey could tell that they were still at the Faction ground. He looked around curiously, and sitting in front of them was a man who looked to be ordinary. He couldn't even sense any signs of elemental fluctuations around him which he found a little suspicious.
There were a few people at the side as well, from men to women. Their age range varied, some looked to be in their late twenties, while others were middle-aged, with the rest being a little old-looking.
Grey kept his mouth shut and followed the Elder.
"Grey Dawson, that's your name right?" The ordinary looking man in the middle asked when Grey walked into the place.
He saw that there were a few people on the side as well. All youths, they were obviously the others who would be taking part in the competition. Seeing the others made him calm down a little.
"Yes." Grey replied with a calm expression.
"Hmm, I see." The man replied after some time.
He kept quiet before speaking again, this time, addressing all the youths present.
"As you all know, the Faction is on the decline. This realm has been one of the most vital parts in grooming talents for us. Losing it has pretty much shown on the Faction. We not only lost it, but we also lost one of our strongest appeals to take in members..." The man continued speaking.
Grey got to find out that the realm they were fighting for originally belonged to three Pyrmond Faction, but after the Faction suffered a calamity, the Syphilis Faction used the opportunity to come into play. The Pyrmond Faction was not at its peak, so it was no match for them.
They came up with the plan of fighting for the rights to the realm every decade. Still suffering from the effect of the calamity, the Pyrmond Faction lost the first battle, naturally.
It has been well over a hundred years now, but they still haven't been able to take it back.
The man encouraged the youths who would be taking part in the competition before telling them to leave.
"This batch has the most potential so far. Hopefully, they can win it."
