The next day, Grey was seen in the forest binding the animals with his Earth magic so he could feed them and he was doing just that. With each day he senses the life force and mana around, it became more easier than the last to feed the animals. But today, old man Jankis wasn't supervising him as normal because he had been called by Licht for something so he was all alone in the forest feeding the stubborn animals. 'Six days down, one more day to go and then I'm out of this hell hole! I wonder how mum is doing now, I just hope she hasn't turned the town upside down in an attempt to look for me.' Grey thought with a chuckle as he moved onto the next animal which he wanted to feed. 'But come to think of it, this punishment doesn't really feel like one as in the process, I think I have learnt some valuable things and kind of gotten stronger through it. Those trees, I have learnt the quantity of mana to input into them without draining my core and also feed the tree so they could grow.' he thought when he began feeding an antelope. 'It wasn't easy but I managed to revive six dead trees into full grown trees and I have learnt mana control in the process. The process of not inputting too many mana into something and knowing how to recognize the amount of mana to put into something.' he thought with a smile when he was finally done with feeding the animals and they went back to gallivanting around the forest as usual. "But I haven't been able to train my magic at all and I feel like they are taking a decline back." Grey said as he looked around. "And I'm itching to use them but I can't do that in this forest unless I want to die by the hands of that crazy leader." 'But where can I train now?' he thought as he looked around until an idea struck. 'Right! I can go to that clearing where I was caught.' And with that, he didn't waste any more time as he swiftly dashed away deeper into the forest and in a minute, he was there as he could see the trees he had blown away when he first came here had fully grown back. "I would have been shocked but knowing what I did in reviving dead trees, I'm not shocked." He said and then he looked around. "And I don't want to damage these trees, wouldn't want more punishment." With a sigh, Grey looked around more. "This should work!" He said as he stomped his foot hard and the Earth around the trees got lifted creating walls around them and creating a somewhat arena with him in the middle while the trees were covered away. Standing in the middle with the Earth surrounding him and creating a wall of some kind, he smiled. "My Earth affinity has definitely grown stronger, probably because I wasn't allowed to wear footwear in the palace, I'm able to feel and connect with the Earth more which helped to increase my affinity more. And I can feel it." He said as he touched his chest. "My mana is not drained in the slightest from performing this complex and huge magic. This planet has definitely affected me in a positive way as it feels like my mana pool has increased. Anyway, time to train." He mumbled as his whole hand erupted in flames. "Fire magic! Continuous barrage of fireballs!" He called out and then dozens of fireballs began shooting out at the Earth wall surrounding him. Two of the fireballs, he controlled the Earth wall to send them back at him and he could see them heading for him at tremendous speed. "Wind magic!" He called out and then he jumped up just in time to avoid the fireballs before shooting out a burst of wind towards the fireballs causing them to explode and send fire everywhere. In order to shield him from the fire, he hit the ground hard causing a wall to lift in front of him blocking the attack. "Hahaha! I'm getting the feel of my affinities and can switch between them without any delay. Usually, it takes a second or more to switch between affinities but now I can do it easily without delay. Hey you damned familiar wolf, come out here and spar with me so I can get an excuse to burn you to a crisp!" Grey called out with a chuckle. "You do know if I were to come out, you will be dead in seconds you wimp." Noir said. "Prove it and pop out here you scaredy cat." Grey chuckled but he didn't get any response. "Tch! The usual silent treatment." 'Anyway, let me try and practice that damned lightning magic again.' he thought and then he took a stance with his two feet in front and his hands slightly apart and then slowly, his hands began crackling and also glowing bright blue. Then slowly, the light grew brighter before a bolt of lightning was seen forming in front of Grey's hands. "Huh?! It doesn't feel hard to control it again?" Grey said surprised as his right hand fell down with his left raised up and his palm facing upward with a lightning bolt glowing above it. With a smile playing on his lips, he shot the bolt towards the Earth wall surrounding him and it crashed into it sending sparks of electricity everywhere. "As expected from the Earth attribute withstanding a destructive power like that lightning." He mumbled with a smile. "Let me try again so it won't be that it was a fluke." Grey did the same stance and began shooting out lightning bolts after lightning bolts at the wall causing bangs after bangs to resound loudly while sparks of lightning were shot everywhere almost hitting him. This continued for about ten minutes before Grey was covered in sweat as he placed his hands on his knees not in tiredness, but excitement as a small smile played on his lips while looking at the scorched earth wall around him. "So the daily input of mana into those trees managed to allow me know how to control the amount of mana I try to infuse for my lightning magic. So it was because I always tried to infuse as much mana as I can that caused the bolts to explode back then. Ha! The idea to stay was actually the best one yet even though I was threatened." Grey said as he stood upright with a smile when… "Mana!" He mumbled and then twisting his hands around, an Earth hand was seen shooting out of the wall and in seconds, it stopped in front of his face with that palm of the Earth hand facing away from him but then it was closed. Stopping and trapping something in its palm while Grey had a raised eyebrow in confusion as he saw who it was that tried to attack him. "What was that for?" He asked annoyed. "You could have killed me if I didn't act fast and sensed the mana in the attack heading towards me." "But you aren't dead right? As expected from the future greatest mage of the human race." The person said and then he stepped forward to reveal an elf with golden long hair with a weird, unsettling smile on his face. The elf was Licht who shot out a light sword towards Grey earlier that was caught in the Earth arm currently. "Even with how fast my magic naturally is, you managed to act fast enough to block it. Impressive, I guess the training paid off." Licht said. "Training?!" Grey asked surprised. "What? You thought you feeding animals and reviving trees were punishment? Heck no! It was part of the training." Licht chuckled. "What training? And why would you even train me? What is in it for you?" Grey asked. "You are as he described." Licht chuckled. "Curious minded and always asking questions. It is surprising how he knew you would end up here." "Huh? What the hell are you talking about?!" Grey shouted. "Nevermind, I'm glad my training paid off and you are able to sense mana in attack before it strikes you quickly. And you even managed to control your lightning magic which you were finding it hard to control earlier." Licht said and he stepped forward that he was mere inches away from Grey. "And you have surely grown stronger than when I saw you six days ago. Just as he said, you are quick to adapt and learn new things." "Who is this he you keep yapping about?!" Grey asked feeling irritated already. "Huh? I thought you were this smart kid, I thought you would have figured it out by now. Who do you think would care about your growth so much that he would approach the elves to help teach you?" Licht asked and then he saw a blank expression on Grey's face. "You still haven't gotten the answer?" Licht asked and then he saw Grey shake his head which made him sigh. "You doofus, it is…" "Leader Licht!" They both heard someone calling and turning to look around, they could see an elf jumping into the Earth wall Grey raised and then he landed in front of Licht panting hard with sweat forming on his face. "Latry? What happened? Why are you panting hard like this?!" Licht asked. "There's a huge problem leader Licht!" The elf known as Latry said. "Problem? What problem?! Go straight to the point darn it!" Licht said angrily feeling his heart thump louder with each passing moment fearing for the worst. "The elven town is under attack leader Licht!" Latry said. "What?!!!" Licht shouted in shock. ______________ {A/N} I had planned for a five chapter mass release today and I have delivered them all so guys please enjoy...
