Chapter 9:Plans
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.The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.
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.
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.
