Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis was nervous. He had realized already that those Guild Masters were in the Energy Gathering stage. He knew that without a surprise attack, he couldn't even injure one of them. This was the biggest crisis Gravis faced ever since he arrived in the lower world.

"What an explosive temperament," said the Guild Master of Fire. "He is perfect for our Fire Guild," he announced with excitement.

"Fool! He hasn't even shown a slight inkling before he attacked. He is better suited for our Darkness Guild!" said an old, decrepit looking man in pure black robes. He looked so thin and weak that one would think he could die at any moment.

"You are both wrong!" shouted the old man in blackish-blue robes. "He was calm until he suddenly struck. This is the temperament of Lightning!" he shouted.

The Guild Masters of Earth, Light, and Wind didn't say anything. They had seen Gravis' temperament, and it did not fit their elements. They could only sigh in regret. Yet, no one cared about the slightly traumatized Guild Master of Water.

By now, Gravis had realized that he might've misjudged the situation. None of the Guild Masters made any moves on him and, instead, seemed very interested in him joining their respective Guilds. Yet, Gravis did not lower his vigilance.

"You asshole!" everyone heard the Guild Master of Water shout from the distance. She did not look calm anymore, and she now looked more like a tsunami that was about to devastate the land. "Why did you attack me?" she asked in rage and charged at Gravis. "If I don't teach you respect for your elders today, I won't call myself human anymore!"

An incredible wave of water appeared and shot at Gravis. He quickly readied himself, but he knew that he couldn't block this attack. He promptly used another Wind Splitting Chop to reduce the incoming water as much as possible, but it actually never reached him.
