"You all should step back or else you would get hurt." Grey calmly said as he removed his hands from his pockets while the others stepped back except one. "I don't take orders from you!" Scarlet shouted when a huge gust of wind erupted out blowing the trees and even uprooting some of them while Scarlet was pushed back that she almost went flying. 'He…he has this much strength? How come? He did say he was a 2 star mage though but this amount of wind magic, it's insane!' Scarlet thought as she stared at Grey who stood there facing the black haired kid named as Liam. 'Liam's magic and mine pairs well and that is why he is one of the noble blood.' Nozel thought with a smile as Liam lifted his hands up. "Normally, I wouldn't have listened to Nozel even if he is the emperor's son but your attitude really pissed me off and I need to show a peasant like you his place so…" Liam smiled as out of his hands, mist appeared covering the Grey while he stood there observing the mist carefully. The mist surrounded him, Liam and the remaining four nobles. The mist was making it hard to spot anybody in it as those that were outside which were Grey's teammates couldn't see what was going on in the mist. "I hope he is going to be okay." Arthur said. "I don't like saying this, but trust me, he would be fine. So c'mon, let's go hunt more beasts so we can gather more crystals before the time runs out." Scarlet said. Sёarᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. 'Based from that short gust of wind earlier, I'm sure he has things covered here although the only person I think would give him trouble would be Nozel. So the faster we go and gather more crystals, the faster we would come back to help him.' she thought. "No! I'm not leaving Grey behind." Arthur said. "You dumbass! You just met him today and you are willing to throw away the assessment for him? What kind of a fool are you?!" Scarlet shouted. "She's right here." Vince said. "We need to hunt more beasts now as time is ticking." "Guys!" They all heard a voice calling from inside the mist which meant that the fight haven't started. "You all should go and hunt more beasts and I will take care of things here." "I don't f*cking take orders from you and that's the same thing I suggested so shut your mouth hole up and face whatever you are doing!" Scarlet shouted back and then she was met with silence. "So what's your decisions?" She asked the team. 'Prove it to her, show her how powerful your useless magic is.' Arthur thought back to the words Grey spoke to him as he clenched his hands tightly. "Fine! Let's do it." He said. "Great! The useless peasant has said his opinion. What about you copy boy?" Scarlet asked. "Count me in too." Raze said. "So let's go!" Vince said and then they picked a general direction and began running there at immense speed while Arthur kept praying in his mind that Grey would be fine. Meanwhile! Back in the misty area, Grey was seen standing around while all around him was covered with thick mist not allowing him see anything beyond a one metre radius. "I can see you wanted your teammates out of the way. I guess you care about them even though you just met them today." Grey heard a voice echoing all around the mist when Grey began chuckling and then it turned into a full blown laughter. "Who says I care about them?! Hahaha." Grey laughed and then the wind around him grew more pushing the mist away for a second before coming back up. "I just need them to go hunt crystals for me while I finish up here. If I were to deal with you all here, get your crystals and add it to the ones we have gathered, we would be pushed up the ladder." "And who says you are going to win!" Grey heard a voice say in front of him when he could see a metal sword slice through the mist about to hit him in the chest when he quickly used his wind magic to jump back in time with the metal sword slicing his clothes a bit tearing it. 'That was fast! Immensely fast and powerful.' he thought while trying to calm his widely beating heart. "And just so you know," Nozel's voice began echoing all around the misty area again. "My other teammates have gone to hunt so currently, it's just me and Liam here but I guarantee you," "You would perish here!" Grey heard a voice saying and the metal sword appeared from downwards about to hit but he raised an Earth wall just in time blocking it. 'Good thing he created the mist, now I can use a little more magic without him knowing but he is too fast darn it!' Grey thought as he wiped the speck of sweat that formed on his face from the close shave he heard. "Do you know why I'm so confident?" Nozel laughed. "You are just a puny two star mage which is pretty impressive for a peasant like you but I'm a three star mage and one thing about advancing the stars is that the higher you go, the stronger and faster your abilities would be!" He shouted and then out from the mist, Grey could see a dozen metal spikes heading his way at immense speed. "Curses!" He said and then tapping his pendant across his chest, a sword appeared in his hand just in time as he raised it hitting one of the metal spikes to the ground but he still had eleven more to deal with. Grey's feet barely touched the ground as he weaved through the mist, wind surging around his limbs. A spike shot past his cheek, slicing the air with a sharp whistle. He twisted, deflecting another with his sword—clang! Sparks flew as metal met steel. And then he landed smoothly on the ground huffing and panting. 'This would have all been easier if I could use all my affinities but I'm limited right here right now.' Grey said. "And the difference between us is," Grey heard Nozel's voice again and he quickly took a stance. "I'm better and stronger than you!" He heard a voice say from his side and he could see a hand covered in metal gauntlets heading for his face at immense speed.
