A few moments passed in silence.

Jaden looked into Zaria's eyes and asked, "Is it possible for you to relay my message to the Shadow Sovereign?"

"Depends on the content of the message."

He nodded at her reply and closed his eyes as he once again reconsidered what he was about to do.

He took a deep breath, his eyes opened, and they were sharper and determined than before. He looked in her eyes and spoke, "Tell him that I, who have the affinity to all elementals and grow stronger faster than anyone else, want to meet him."

Hearing his words, Zaria's face lost all of its previous playfulness and amusement, and she commented in a deadly, low voice, "I believe you are taking me too lightly to even dare say such—"

However, before she could finish, Jaden looked into the air and spoke, "Yuka, can you teleport me and Zaria to the empty training centre?"

Zaria frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

Green sparks appeared before Jaden's face as Yuka teleported there, and she yelled, "I can not teleport any student just because you ask me to," even though her voice barely grew louder.

He turned his head towards Zaria and asked, "Do you want to know if I am lying or not?"

She frowned slightly and stated, "Why do I have to when I already know that you are lying?"

"Then just agree to teleporting," he remarked.

She shifted her eyes between Yuka and Jaden before muttering, "...All right, I agree."

Just as she said that, Jaden and she felt their world shift, and both of them appeared within the training centre.

However, in her hurry, Yuka had forgotten to check if the training centre was empty or not.

So now both of them were standing before a dumbfounded Maria, "...What is going on?"

Jaden looked at Maria and clenched his fists before speaking, "Can you join us for a moment?"

"Why don't you tell me what is going on first?" Maria asked.

She shifted her gaze towards Zaria and her brows rose as she questioned, "Student Zaria... You seem quite different from usual."

Zaria didn't reply and just stared holes into Jaden's head.

"Big sis... I won't take much of your time... It's important."

"Oh, please! Don't say that. Even if I'm a Master Rank, I can't possibly handle the weight of your important statements," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Jaden turned silent at her sarcastic remark.

"And twice in the same day too," she added in amusement and exasperation.

"Just keep your eyes on me," Jaden stated as he didn't want to listen to her nonstop sarcastic remarks.

Her lips curled up into a smirk. "I'll be sure to do that," she said while looking at Zaria from the corner of her eyes.

However, Zaria wasn't aware of that. She was simply standing with her arms folded at her chest. 'Does he really have an affinity for all eight elements? Is that even possible... There has never been a case of someone having affinity to all of the eight elements...'

Jaden stepped inside one of the squares and thought, 'Let's do this.'

He raised his palm, and his grimoire appeared beside him.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the grimoire, both Zaria and Maria raised an eyebrow.

"There were no sparks...." Maria mumbled.

"..." Zaria stayed silent.

Jaden shifted his eyes between them and mumbled, "Fireball."

Just as he spoke, a blazing fireball appeared on his hand.

They didn't react to it. It was just a 1-star spell, after all.

He stopped supplying mana to it, and the fireball vanished. Afterwards, he mumbled, "Mistrise."

The water elementals shifted, and a thin mist began to cover his figure. He once again dismissed the spell, and just like before, there was no reaction.

"Earthen Grip."

A stone hand popped out of the ground and clenched into a fist, and just as before — no reaction.

He dismissed the spell and muttered, "Gale Push."

The air elementals around him moved and pushed everything within his short proximity away.

"He has affinity with all four natural elementals..." Zaria commented.

'He also has affinity with Ice... is that what he is trying to show? It's rare but not unseen,' Maria frowned in thought.

"Spark jolt," he mumbled, and a shorlighting spark flickered on his hand.

"Five affinities, huh..."

'He has six affinities?'

He knelt on one knee, touched the ground and mumbled, "Ice Patch."

Just as he spoke, a thin ice layer appeared on the ground and disappeared soon after.

"Six affinities..." Zaria mumbled with an amazed look.

'I knew it,' Maria thought with a smile.

However, both of their expression turned into confusion as he once again lifted his hand and mumbled, "Guidelight."

The light elementals shifted into his palm, and a glowing orb hovered in his hand.

"Seven!" Both of them exclaimed with awed expression.

But the show was not done yet.

He lowered his hand and looked at Maria and Zaria, who were looking at him with an amazed expression.

Maria met his eyes and began to clap as she praised, "You are indeed something, Jaden... to think you have affinity to seven elementals which we have never seen before... You are truly humanity's fortune."

However, Zaria was silent.

"...Were you really not lying?" She questioned, and Jaden shook his head.

Maria turned her head towards Zaria and asked, "What are you both talking about?"

Zaria looked at her, pointed at him and replied, "He had told me that he has affinity to all of the eight elementals..."

She turned her head towards Jaden and asked, "What? Is that even possible—"

"Gloom Orb," he muttered, and the area around him dimmed as the darkness elementals began to wrap around him.

Both Maria's and Zaria's eyes widened in disbelief as they muttered at the same time.

"What the hell?"

"What the fuck?"
