The next day Grey arrived early, the reason for this was that he wanted to see the human, regarded as J, fight. According to what he heard, this person always fights very early and leaves as soon as he’s done with his battles. 

When he arrived at the place, he looked at the arena and saw a shockingly familiar figure, a figure he never expected to even see in the Aurora Continent, much less the Chaos Battlefield. 

‘Jonas.’ He said to himself. 

Seeing his expression, the bunny leader and Void knew that he recognized the person fighting on the stage. 

‘Who’s that?’ The bunny leader asked. 

“He’s Jonas, we are technically from the same City.” Grey explained. 

‘Wow, one City producing two geniuses, even if he’s not on your level, he’s still well above others at his level.’ The bunny leader accessed Jonas as he watched him fight. 

Jonas could be classified as a tier above even Grey’s friends when it came to fighting those in the same stage or above. Klaus, Reynolds, Alice, and even Ellis wouldn’t have any issues with fighting those two stages above them, the only thing is that they wouldn’t be able to dominate them as much as Jonas was doing right now. 

The bunny leader had seen them in action and knew they were special, but Jonas had something more, something that placed him above others, with the exception of Grey. 

Grey tilted his head and looked at the figure battling on stage, he was just as fierce as he used to be. He couldn’t help but think of how their stories started. Both were from the small Red City, each entering a top Academy, however, one’s path only climbed up while the other, although showing some prospects, stagnated due to making the wrong choices. 

However, Jonas’ story changed after the trip to the Trial Land, he became reborn after receiving an inheritance from a top expert. Now, he was advancing at a massive speed. He was presently in the Sixth stage of the Elemental Venerable Plane. 

Grey already thought his speed was insane, Jonas seemed to be even faster than he was. 

Jonas quickly finished his battles and as he was walking out, he seemed to look into the crowd, searching for something. 

He had seen Grey’s name on the board, not just seen, but he had heard of the name. There was only one Grey he knew could cause such a commotion, and it was the same person that he knew from Red City, he didn’t believe there would be another Grey that would be just as heaven-defying as the one from Red City. 

He had traveled and knew there were places far better than the Azure Continent. Nevertheless, he had never seen anyone on par with that fellow, the one who wasn’t able to awaken his element during his first test. 

He didn’t see Grey’s figure, but he decided to wait. Since Grey came here, he didn’t believe he would leave immediately after completing the five battles. He would most likely want to get one of the top rewards, just like himself. 

Time passed and two hours later, the figure he was waiting for appeared. It was like a surreal dream when he saw Grey step onto the stage. Even with a mask on, he knew for a fact that the person standing there was the person he thought. ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

Everything was confirmed when Grey was able to casually defeat his first opponent. However, his pupils showed some strange glow, he recalled Grey somehow miraculously got the fire element in the Trial Land, even though he was the one who got the inheritance, but he didn’t think about it for too long at that time since there was a chance that Grey might have gotten one too. However, Grey was currently using the space element as well. 

‘How’s this possible? He didn’t awaken any elements at first. Then later awakened two, managed to get the fire element from a top expert, and now the space element?’ Jonas felt his head ache. 

This was out of his expectations. But with all the things he had seen, he knew there was definitely a reason Grey was able to get all these. He had never heard of anyone getting another element after their original element was checked. Unless… they could hide it from the rock. 

A thought suddenly struck him, if Grey could hide his element from the rock, maybe for fear of being hunted, then that should settle it. He recalled how Grey was hunted down just by getting a treasure from the Trial Land. 

Grey knew nothing about what he was thinking, nor did he care. He quickly made short work of his opponents before leaving the stage. He didn’t know if Jonas was still around, and he didn’t have the zeal to search for him. They aren’t enemies, but they can’t be called friends as well.

“I knew it was you when I heard of your name.” Jonas said when Grey stepped out. 

“It’s been a while, Jonas.” Grey stretched out his hand. 

Jonas shook his hand before they walked out of the place together. When the crowd saw them leaving together, and how they interacted, they knew they must know each other. 

Just thinking of the fact that two geniuses of this caliber are friends annoyed most of them. 

Grey didn’t really care about all these. He followed Jonas back to where he was staying. 

After settling down he asked, “How did you end up here?” 

“Well… it’s a long story.” Jonas offered Grey a cup of tea. 

Grey took it and nodded for him to go on with his story, it wasn’t like he had anywhere to go, anyway. 

Jonas went on to tell him of how he was fortunate to leave the place thanks to a tear that appeared close to him. It was out of his control as he was drawn into the tear.
