Chapter 524 - Number One In The Origin Plane At The Acer Region
'I should take this opportunity to study the light element up close, but I really do not have that time,' Grey contemplated as the supervisor called for the battle to start.
This was his first chance to witness the light element first hand, and if not for his current predicament, he would've taken the opportunity to try and see if he could learn a thing or two from it. Unfortunately, he still had multiple array simulations he was running in his head even as he was fighting, so he didn't want to waste any time here.
'I'll just observe it a little before defeating her.' He finally came to a decision.
Although he was pressed on time, this was an opportunity for him. He didn't know when next he might encounter a Light Elementalist he could fight against. Sylvia wasn't a good choice, and he was sure it wouldn't be easy to get her to show him the light element as much as he wanted if he wanted to comprehend it.
....
After the supervisor called for the battle to begin, white light surrounded Ezra's body, making her look like a goddess.
She was beautiful to begin with, coupled with the light, it was as if she was not from this world.
Her figure suddenly vanished from where she was standing, almost as quickly as Jesse did.
Swoosh!
But compared to Jesse's, Grey wouldn't have the privilege of using his advantage of the space element to fish her out. She could easily dodge Grey if he tried to attack her.
Boom! Bam!
Ezra attacked with the darkness element, but Grey was already prepared for her attacks. With simple side steps, he dodged all her attacks by the tiniest of margins, while studying her movements.
'Time to end this,' He said to himself after dodging Ezra's attack once again.
This time, he called upon his lightning element, using it with the help of the space element. He vanished while covered with red lightning, and as soon as his figure appeared again, he was in front of Ezra.
Ezra tried to move to the side, but Grey was faster, anticipating her next move. It was as if everywhere was blocked, and she found it difficult to resist.
Grey stretched out his hand quickly, and just like Jesse, he grabbed her by the neck, lifting her up easily for all to see before tossing her out of the stage, in the same manner as he did to Jesse.
With that, Grey's name on the stone board suddenly lit up, before quickly jumping from the second place to the first.
His name had moved from the forty-ninth to second place after he defeated Jesse, pushing him to third place. But he didn't really take note of it. He only looked at it after he defeated Ezra.
"I left them in perfect condition, so they can still fight against each other," Grey said to Ezra's Teacher.
When the judges found out the reason he didn't harm either Ezra or Jesse, they were a little taken aback. He left them in perfect fighting conditions so that they could still fight against each other.
"His sense of reasoning is definitely not like the rest," The Lady amongst the judges said.
"Hmph! But it doesn't give him the right to be arrogant. His arrogance will lead to his downfall," Ezra's Teacher snorted coldly.
Of everyone here, he was one of the few who found Grey as an eyesore.
....
Grey is currently the first amongst all Origin Plane Elementalists in the Acer region, but it wasn't something he was really proud of.
Looking at the name Grey Dawson, Sylvia turned to look at Grey strangely. But she shook her head soon after when she realized how clueless Grey was. She didn't think he was from the family that came to mind when she saw the name, Dawson.
As things are, no one would want to challenge Grey, so it was easy to say that the first position was already secured.. Now, all that was left was for those in lower ranks to fight to try to increase their ranks.N0v3lRealm was the platform where this chapter was initially revealed on N0v3l.B1n.
