Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis went to his next class, and everything repeated itself again. The students asked one question after the other, and Gravis had to answer all of them without falling into an abyss of one tangent after the other.

Sadly, this meant that Gravis spent another couple of days teaching them, which resulted in the next class wanting just as much time.

All of this repeated itself until Gravis went through seven different classes. Then, he finally had some time for himself.

After dismissing the last class, Gravis released a sigh. 'It's really difficult to keep my voice in check,' he thought. 'Due to what happened and my constant comprehending of Laws, I seem to have this inherent aura of aggression around me. Luckily, all the kids seem to know this issue and have been rather accepting.'

'It was the right decision to come here. I might not feel a difference yet, but it has just been a couple of weeks. I have plenty of time left.'

For the first time, Gravis had some time for himself again. However, Gravis immediately started to think about Laws again, which was not a good thing. Becoming more powerful was important, but Gravis knew that he had to reduce his focus towards his goal.

And when Gravis thought that, he realized something very important.

'Wait, my goal?' Gravis thought. 'But power isn't my goal!'

'Power should only be a means to an end, not the end goal itself,' Gravis thought as he crossed his arms and looked down with furrowed brows. 'Have I truly put power as my goal?'

After some seconds, Gravis looked at the sky and sighed. 'So, that's my issue, huh? Power has become my goal itself instead of freedom or happiness.'

Gravis finally realized why he had changed. Everything hinged on the fact that power had become his goal.

'What's the point of being supremely powerful when your entire life is only colored in shades of grey?' Gravis thought with a sigh. 'Oh, what a fool I have been.'

Gravis smiled. Finally, he knew what had been wrong with him. After that, he looked away from the gigantic lake and towards the forest. 'I want to meet others. Only talking to children isn't enough. I want to meet Cultivators that have gone through the hardships of cultivation.'

With that thought, Gravis started walking towards the clearing where the people and beasts actually lived. The vast lake was Arc's home and the place where he taught children. Everyone else lived a couple of kilometers away.
