Chapter 13:Time's Almost Up

The time for the test was getting closer with each passing day. The test will take place in another 2 weeks.

The kids who have reached the age for the test were all excited, as after the test, they will start their own journey. They were all filled with anticipation towards the test and couldn't wait for it.

This usually happens every year. The new kids will be filled with expectation towards their new journey. Not all the kids get into the Academies though, since some have low talents, they are picked up by some lower powers in the empire. Only a few of the kids with Pink talent actually get admitted into the Academies.

However, the majority of the kids with Orange talent gets into the Academies. A lot of lives would change after this test just like how it happens every other year.

The Academies are the meeting ground for the young people all over the empire. Apart from the Emperor's faction, the Academies are the next in terms of strength. But they are always below the empire. They have groomed a lot of powerhouses for the empire.

The Academies can virtually be said to be an important part of the empire, the Emperors' faction can't reach out to every part of the empire. This is where the Academies come in, although they can't be said to have reached every single part of the empire, they have a larger network compared to the empire.

Grey's full attention has been placed on his training lately that he even forgets about eating sometimes. As the time edged closer, the voice in his head got louder. The voice was telling him to make sure he gets to Purple talent before the test starts.

He still has hope though, there's still 2 weeks left. Grey was very determined and didn't want anything to stop him from doing it. He really wanted this, so he has to work extra hard.

Martha didn't disturb him as she knew with the time of the test getting closer, he needs to be fully focused. If he can make an improvement, it will certainly do him more good.

"Don't you have the chaos space, you can comprehend it there right" Martha asked.

"Yes, but due to the uniqueness of the element, it's hard. And I can't feel it in the chaos space" Grey explained.

Martha mused for some time, "I know of a place, but before I tell you, you must promise me you won't even think of getting close if I find a place for you."

Martha knew her son too well, given how daring Grey was, she is over eighty percent confident he truly might go close to it.

"Relax mom, I won't put my life at risk. I will only take a look from a distance away" Grey reassured. He knew she would definitely know of a place which attracts lightning. If he knows of this place, it would be helpful, well, as long as it storms.

"Okay, I know how wise you are" Martha said with a sneer. Grey knew she still hasn't believed him, so he continued convincing her.

Luckily, Martha loved him a lot and quickly gave in. She told him the place where lightning strikes a lot.

Grey was happy after finding out the location. It was said lightning always strike that particular mountain top whenever it storms. No one knows the reason or cause of it, but it had been happening for long. They have investigated it, but they came back empty-handed.

Grey immediately made up his mind, he will go check out the place tomorrow. That way he would know what to do next when it storms.

"Hopefully, it storms before the test. This is my only hope now. I should be able to make it in time, I think" Grey wasn't too optimistic about his chances of progressing though, but he knew he could get a sudden realization and progress immediately, so he hasn't given up hope.

Grey went to his room, he entered the chaos space to comprehend more. Although he would be heading out tomorrow, it didn't mean he shouldn't continue his training schedule.

Grey has already gotten used to always training before bed. In fact, he can be said to be a maniac with how he trains.
