Chapter 273: Studying The Wooden Objects

The next day, Grey woke up a little earlier than usual and started his normal training routine. After going for his morning training, he went for forging lessons. This time, they were taught the tempering process. From there on, he went to the array class.

Void was left with Alice all through the day, so when he was done with his lessons, he went over to get him. He didn’t find Klaus nor Reynolds at home, so he guessed they might’ve gone out together.

‘*Sigh* More time to train for me, I guess.’ He thought before he started training once again.

He couldn’t use his wind and water element openly in the Academy since it might arouse suspicion if the few people who recognized him for having only two elements come to see him using it. Not seeing anyone he was acquainted with in the forging lessons made things easier for him, well, he didn’t really know all the people who knew him.

He started his training with the fire and earth element, trying to see the limit of his earth’s armor defense while attacking it with the fire element.

Void watched Grey continue the same routine from the past day and couldn’t help but feel staying in the Academy would probably be the most boring moment in his life. The thrill he got while they were in the trial land wasn’t here, it was too safe here. Well, it technically is a learning facility so it was supposed to be safe. But for a magical beast like him who loved fighting and adventure, it was not his cup of tea.

Later that night.

‘Hey Grey, we need to leave this place.’ He said when he saw Grey coming out of the bathroom.

‘Yeah, I know. But not now. I need to at least get the basics of forgemastering first before leaving.’ Grey agreed with Void.

The time he spent in the trial land had changed him, there, training was faster, he always had an opponent and he was leaving freely.

‘I heard there’s a place called the magical beast forest, it sounds exciting. Why don’t we go there?’ Void suggested.

‘That was where we came from actually, the place where the array to the trial land is located.’ Grey explained while falling onto his bed, preparing to sleep.

‘Oh, we should’ve gone there then. Why bother to come to this boring place. Even if we don’t want to go there, we should at least see the world.’ Void urged.

He wanted to see the world in its entirety, not stay in a single boring place.

‘Hmm, yeah but first, I think I have an idea.’ Grey said standing up from his bed.

He was just struck with an amazing idea, well, that’s on the premise he could pull it off.

‘Oh, what’s that?’ Void asked.

‘Remember those wooden objects I got from that Darkness Elementalist?’ Grey said while taking out one of the wooden objects from his storage ring.

‘Yeah, the one you used to locate where your friends were.’ Void nodded.

‘Well, I’m planning to improve it. If I can figure out how they made it, then there’s a chance of improving it. I can even add another function to it.’ Grey explained excitedly.

Since finding out that his friends were going, he had been a little down. And once he leaves the Academy, he planned on searching for his parents, so he didn’t know when he would be able to see his friends again, nor where to start searching for them. But if he’s successful with his current idea, then locating them wouldn’t be a problem.

He sent his spiritual sense into the object trying to figure out how and why it was able to be able to locate the ones which were crushed. It didn’t take long before he found out the reason.

“Arrays, haha. This makes everything simpler.” Grey laughed out excitedly.

One of the few things he was confident in was arrays. Since he is a slow learner, he actually learned the basics of arrays multiple times from Chris which made his foundation in it very strong. Even Chris was amazed by how good his foundation was.

Now, all he needed to do was study the array and see what type of array it was. There are different types of arrays, and he learned all he could from Chris. Even if this wasn’t part of the ones Chris taught him, with his basic knowledge, he would be able to figure out something.

Void looked at Grey speechlessly as he focused on deciphering the arrays that were intricately drawn in the small wooden object. He almost couldn’t take Grey’s continuous learning habit, it was like he was never tired of learning.

Void fell asleep from the boredom of watching Grey continuously staring at the wooden object and drawing down some lines on the ground. Grey would also contemplate on the lines he was drawing out. There were times he would have a complicated look, while at other times, he had a look of exhilaration.

Before long, it was already morning. Void woke up and saw Grey was still engrossed in the object. He had drawn out so many lines that were across each other that got Void confused for the first few seconds he looked at them.

‘Hey, wouldn’t you be going for morning training?’ Void asked when he saw that the saw was about to rise.

‘Oh, it’s daybreak already? Hmm, this will take longer than expected. Come on, let’s head out.’ Grey stood up before walking out.

An Arcane Plane Elementalist could go days without sleep, much less an Origin Plane Elementalists like Grey. He could even go ten days without sleep.

‘You’re going out like that?’ Void asked when he saw what Grey was wearing.

‘Oh, I forgot. I’ll change right now.’ Grey came back in, changed into his training clothes before heading out.

When they got to where he trained, Void disappeared into the forest to explore while Grey was training.
