*One month later* A month had passed since Grey and the others joined Lunaria Academy. In that time, the students had transformed, honing their skills through intense training and practical lessons. The more talented ones were able to create complex creations but not as huge as Grey. Their casting speed had increased tremendously but still, Grey was a monster that couldn't be rivalled at that. A few weeks after getting into the academy, they also participated in other classes in order to increase their casting speed. In a month, the students managed to increase their prowess to an incredibly noticeable level as even Vince was able to let his porcupine stay out a few more seconds and also attack. Sёarch* The ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Arthur managed to create several shields which he could control at will to block whatever attacks that came his way. Which he showed several times in the class by blocking some of Greg's attacks but after some time, the shield would break from taking too many hits. Raze experimented with different magic and using creation magic at that. During these times, he was not allowed to touch Grey and Grey's attitude was still as cold as ever. Dismisses anybody that tries to talk to him which makes him and Scarlet to clash verbally more often. And in this month, Grey managed to keep increasing his mana pool and his wind magic while on the side without anybody knowing, he trained his lightning affinity and tried to use creation magic on it. He managed to succeed in creating a partial creation magic using his lightning affinity because of the low points in the affinity. For his fire magic, he was able to create a small dragon similar to Scarlet's but more powerful. But he was unable to do anything with his Earth magic so he kept experimenting more and in the process, he found out that he could let two creations stay out at a time for about a minute before he begins to feel the fatigue. But if it was a single creation, he could fight for as long as he wanted and in this process, Grey grew more stronger than anybody in this process but on the low while in front of others, he tries to limit his abilities. Today was like any other day, Grey and his classmates were in Von's class trying to create a construct different from what they were used to. And the goal was to achieve diversity. This time, instead of using his wind magic to do the creation, Grey was focusing on lightning magic when… *Bang!* The door to the class swung open and someone walked in with a hurry and rushed up towards Von and then he whispered something in his ears which made him stiffen up and looked at the students. "Did he really say that?" Von asked and the man nodded. With a sigh, he mumbled. "That sneaky old man." "Instructor Von! What's wrong?" Scarlet asked as she saw Von tense up while looking at the others. "Listen up you all! A mission has come up for you all. Execute it well, you move up the ranking ladder and make your way to becoming the greatest mage ever. Mess it up, you die." Von said and the students all tensed up all except Grey who had a slight smirk on his face. 'Finally! I was starting to get bored of all this training and was itching to test them out.' he thought. "For this mission, I will be assigning people I trust in their strengths to help accomplish it so if your name is not among, then it means you should work harder." Von said and the whole class listened attentively. "First of all is the demon of the class Grey Dawn! I trust in your strength and although I would have wanted you to go alone, I wouldn't want to be blamed for a newbie's death." Von said. 'If only you knew that this newbie could go toe to toe with you.' Grey thought. "Next is Greg! Your lightning magic and creation magic are destructive and strong so your magic will be appreciated on the field." Von said. "I will do everything in my honor to make Lunaria proud." Greg said. "Good! Also Scarlet, we need diversity and more destructive powers so your fire magic will definitely help especially with your powerful creation magic." Von said. "Yes sir!" Scarlet said. "And Vanica! The team would be incomplete without a healer just in case so you have also been chosen. Next on the team is Arthur." Von said. "Wait! Me…? Why me?" Arthur asked genuinely surprised as he had been the last person he would think would be chosen. "Duh! Your protection magic will surely come in handy to protect the team from getting hurt. And if they do, Vanica would help." Von replied. "That makes sense. I will do my possible best to protect the team." Arthur said. "And lastly, Jay! Your water magic will definitely be helpful I hope so you get to tag along." Von said towards Greg's friend who was a water mage. "Now these six will be the ones to go on this mission." 'I knew I couldn't be chosen! But this won't deter me, I will still work harder than anyone and make sure I tag along next time.' Vince thought. "What even is this mission you keep yapping about?" Grey asked. "Some bandits have attacked the town nearest to us and they are actually hurting people badly and I think they are in search of something but who knows what." Von replied. "How many are they?" Scarlet asked. "About thirty of them but there could be more so I will advise you to be careful." Von replied. "Then we need to hurry." Grey said. "Hold on! A teleportation mage would take you there now." Von said. "No need." Grey said as he waved his hands and a huge wind bird appeared in the room. "I got a much faster ride." He said as he jumped on the bird and so did the other five that were assigned to the mission. "Wait! How do we get there?" Jay asked. "The holographic display would be updated in a second and you would get the direction there." Von replied. "Good! Let's go!" Grey said as the bird flapped its wings and took off towards a window in the room. "No, not through there!" Von tried shouting but it was too late as the bird smashed through the window and was seen speeding off in the distance.
