Affinity: Chaos Chapter 227: Finding Out

Chapter 227: Finding Out

Thirty minutes later.

Grey’s breakthrough was already finished, but he still had both eyes closed, not showing any signs of moving from his sitting position. Now, he was a Fifth stage Origin Plane Elementalist, the Overlord Plane was just a few stages away.

“Hmm, looks like his array worked.” Alice looked around.

The lady didn’t show up, which meant that she couldn’t trace the aura here. There’s also the possibility of the lady not wanting to alert them of her being aware of what happened tonight.

“Yeah, probably. So, do you think he knows about this?” Klaus asked the other two.

The two looked at him without replying.

“Like, you know. Maybe he doesn’t know he has an affinity with the wind and water element?” He explained.

“Since he’s absorbing it, he should be aware of them. How else would he absorb them if he doesn’t attract them to himself?” Alice looked at Klaus.

“I’m just saying, there’s a chance this might be a new development he doesn’t know of.” Klaus shrugged.

“We’ll find out when he’s awake.” Alice said.

While the trio was still speaking, Grey who had his eyes shut opened them. He heard the last statement made by Alice.

“Find out about what?” He asked with a confused expression.

The trio was slightly surprised that he had finally woken up.

“Did you notice anything strange when you were breaking through just now?” Klaus asked strangely.

“Strange when I was breaking through? Did something strange happen?” Grey wore a baffled face.

Since when does something strange happen when he is breaking through?

“Not really, only that you were able to absorb five different elements instead of three.” Alice took charge of the questioning.

“Huh! How did you know that?” Grey asked in shock, before realizing he shouldn’t have asked that question.

‘d.a.m.n it! I should’ve acted like I didn’t know what they were talking about.’ He complained internally.

The trio’s expression took a change when they heard what he said.

“Does that mean that you have five elements?” asked Reynolds.

“Yes.” Grey could only helplessly nod.

The cat was out of the bag anyway, so there’s no way he could deny it.

“But…how’s that possible?” Klaus looked at Grey in awe, he also felt like Grey was more freakish compared to Reynolds who was a high-grade summoner.

“That…I’ll explain later. First of all, tell me how you found out about this, what happened when I was breaking through?” Grey asked seriously.

He felt something must have happened when he was breaking through that made his friends realize he didn’t have three elements, but five.

Klaus went on to tell him about the commotion he caused when breaking through, he also told him about the manifestation of the elemental particles which led to them figuring out about him being able to use five elements.

“Wait, you mean the elemental particles were actually visible?” Grey couldn’t help but ask.

He had just been told this, but he found it extremely shocking to believe. This wasn’t the first time he had broken through, even when he was breaking through to the Origin Plane, he didn’t cause any ruckus other than the time he wanted to refine his body.

“Yes, all five elemental particles were visible. Luckily, we were here, else you might have been in danger given the fact that there are no records of anyone ever having four elements, much less five.” Alice said.

“Also, how the h.e.l.l did you have five elements? I recalled your test only showed two.” Klaus looked at him seriously.

Grey sighed before saying, “*Sigh* I planned to tell you all anyway, so there’s no use if I tell you now, or later. I can comprehend new elements.”

“Wait, what?!” Klaus and Reynolds exclaimed simultaneously, but their mouths were quickly closed by Alice.

“I mean, I can gain new elements. I originally had only the lightning element, but I comprehended the earth element before my test.” Grey explained.

Gasps!

The trio gasped in shock, well, Klaus and Reynolds tried to, but with Alice’s hands covering their mouths, it wasn’t easy.

“Meaning you can…” Alice looked at the sleeping Void.

“Yes, but it’s not as easy as it sounds. The two elements I comprehended here were due to external factors. The s.p.a.ce element is much more complex to comprehend than the other elements, I haven’t even been able to start studying it properly yet.” Grey continued.

“Yuu yuu yuu.” Klaus tried speaking but with Alice covering his mouth, all they heard were mumblings.

Grey, Alice, and Reynolds looked at him.

“Oh, sorry.” Alice hastily removed her hands from the duo’s mouths.

“Thank you, you mean you already have one more element before coming here?” asked Klaus.

“Yeah, I awoke my wind element when I went out on a mission.” Grey smiled.

“You only left the Academy once.” Reynolds said.

“Yeah, that was the time.” Grey affirmed.

“Wow! That’s so insane. Is there a reason for this?” Reynolds asked, but quickly shut his mouth.

This was a great secret, it must have taken a lot from Grey just to tell them this. Yet, he wanted to know more.

Grey acted like he didn’t hear the question before smiling at his friends, “There’s one more thing though.”

“Oh, what’s that?” They looked at him curiously.

“I can increase my elemental grade.” Grey said with a mysterious smile.

Even though he couldn’t tell them of the pearl, telling them of his ability to gain new elements and increasing his elemental grade wasn’t that bad. Since there’s a chance they might also find out someday.

“What?!” This time, Klaus and Reynolds weren’t the only ones who exclaimed, even Alice exclaimed in shock.

They all looked at Grey in disbelief. They previously felt being able to comprehend and gain new elements was insane, but hearing about being able to improve his grade, they didn’t know what to think anymore.

Was there anyone more amazing than the young man who was sitting before them? The answer is most likely, No!
