Lightning Is the Only Way

It had been a couple of weeks since Aion came to visit Gravis. In that time, Gravis managed to reduce the affected area of his Will-Aura to a cone of only 60°. If he compressed it, it would be six times as strong as when he just released it. Gravis was sure that even someone in the Energy Gathering Realm would have issues fighting inside his Will-Aura.

The time grew closer. Only three more days until the tournament. Only five more days until his Lightning Seed reached its full potential. Only ten more days until he would break into the Energy Gathering Realm. As soon as he would reach the Energy Gathering Realm, Gravis would be able to kill most others in the same, major realm. Soon, he would rise.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!

Gravis went to the door. 'It's probably only Gorn,' he thought as he opened the door. Yet, in contrast to his expectations, he saw an unfamiliar face. It was a handsome young man with blonde hair. He wore the blackish-blue robes of the Lightning Guild and carried a saber on his back, just like Gravis. His saber was white, and it had multiple Formation Array lines interlinking on its surface.

"Hello, Brother Gravis," he spoke while bowing politely. "I am Jaimy. I think you had a short altercation with my brother, Frank," he smoothly explained.

Gravis narrowed his eyes. Frank had acted arrogantly in front of him, and the two other goons from the other day also came because of him. Gravis did not have any good impression of Frank or Jaimy.

"What do you want?" Gravis asked coldly.

Jaimy didn't seem to mind Gravis' cold attitude. "I am actually here to apologize for my younger brother," he said, and Gravis was surprised. "I have been spoiling him for his whole life, so he is used to getting what he wants." Jaimy sighed. "His personality is partly my fault. So, I am apologizing for that."

Gravis looked at him, but his coldness had reduced. "I don't really mind. I've also not been bothered in the last three months. Just forget it," Gravis waved the matter off, nonchalantly.
