Lightning Is the Only Way

A long period of silence passed in the air.

A new Heaven's Magnate had been born, but this occasion wasn't as joyous as it always had been.

It was a frustrating and sad occasion.

Everyone had believed that they would receive a new colleague.

Yet, they had turned out to be someone that wasn't a part of them.

He wasn't like them.

He didn't share the same problems as them.

He didn't fight like them.

He didn't use the same powers as them.

He was different.

He didn't belong.

They had looked forward to Gravis joining them. After all, most of them had watched Gravis after he had caused the Heaven Clash. They had known that he was different in a way, but they had believed that he would eventually join them.

Yet, in their minds, he didn't.

"Wow, eh," Heavenly Senior said through an awkward laugh. "I wanted to welcome you, but you don't seem like you need my welcome. You look like you're doing very well on your own."

At the Heaven's Magnate Realm, Gravis couldn't see the Law fragments of the other Heaven's Magnates. Because of that, he couldn't completely be certain of what Heavenly Senior was thinking.

Gravis only turned his gaze to Heavenly Senior.

When Heavenly Senior saw Gravis looking at him, he felt a cold shiver run down his spine.

It was like that time the Opposer had looked at him.

He didn't like that sensation.

"So, anyway, welcome," Heavenly Senior said awkwardly. "If you need anything, just call me, okay?"

Gravis nodded. "Thank you."

Gravis didn't fully know what Heavenly Senior was thinking, but Gravis recognized that expression.

He had seen very similar expressions a very long time ago.

Back when Gravis had joined the Research Institute to become a Research Apprentice, he had become part of a class.
