Lightning Is the Only Way

SHING!

Gravis appeared inside Arc's clearing. It was just as peaceful as always, except…

"Who's that?" a deep voice asked.

Gravis looked around and noticed that there were about ten beasts present, all having different sizes. There were small beasts, and there were beasts over a hundred meters tall. One, in particular, was over 500 meters tall.

Of course, such sizes appeared gigantic to humans, but for beasts, this was still considered rather small.

Funnily, all other beasts sat on the back of the huge one, which was an elephant. The tall beasts sat on his tusks while the smaller ones sat on his ears. Some also sat on his head.

Gravis had to admit that all of this looked rather adorable.

Adorable?

Cultivators and humans, in general, wouldn't call something like this adorable, but Gravis had been inside a Natural World for a long time. He could tell the age of most beasts, and he saw that all of them were relatively young. They were probably all under a century old.

All the beasts looked at Gravis with a questioning look. They hadn't seen him before.

"Oh, Gravis," Arc said with a smile. "You came at just the right time. I am currently teaching these young fellas here, but another class is waiting for me. Would you be fine with taking over for today?"

Gravis was surprised when he heard Arc's words, but he quickly realized the truth.

Arc had probably foreseen that Gravis would come here and had prepared this class just for him.

Gravis had to sigh at Arc's foresight. Gravis hadn't talked to himself when he decided where to go. Everything had only happened inside his mind, which meant that Arc couldn't have known what Gravis had planned.

However, Arc was still able to predict that Gravis would come here.

"Eh?" one of the smaller beasts, a snake, uttered from the elephant's tusk. "But we don't know him. How can he teach us?"

Arc only showed a friendly smile. "Aeri, don't be rude to our guest," he said. Then, he gestured at Gravis. "This is Gravis, and he is the most powerful Immortal. He is more than qualified to teach you."
