"Grey, beat them up!" Klaus patted Grey's shoulder while hiding behind him, greedily absorbing the ice energy.

Presently, they had absorbed roughly seventy percent of the ice energy in the small rock. Grey could sense Klaus' aura improving at a rapid pace.

'At this rate, he'll probably break through to the Eighth stage if he absorbs more of the essence.' He thought to himself while darting a glance at the group in front of them.

Since Klaus needed the energy to break through, then he was going to stand guard for him. Although his earth wall can't block all the attacks, he would think of ways to stop the other attacks.

Boom! Bang! Bam!

More attacks hit the wall fiercely, causing it to shake.

Bang! Crack!

Cracks soon started appearing on different sides of the wall.

"That's it, continue attacking," The young man who was bickering with Klaus exclaimed in excitement.

"Shut up you shithead!" Klaus' annoying voice rang out from the other side of the wall.

"Dammit! If I don't kill you today, then I'm not a man!" The young man said angrily, before attacking more fiercely.

"Hehe, bold of you to assume you were a man," Klaus laughed out loud from the other side.

Grey shook his head on hearing the young man and Klaus' bickerings. He still didn't know how Klaus is able to easily annoy someone, it was almost like it was his talent or something.

Crack! Bang!

The wall soon crumbled to the ground, and Grey and Klaus was once again visible to the townspeople.

"Haha, we have you now you dumbass," The young man laughed out loud.

It was almost like he couldn't see Grey, all his attention was focused on Klaus.

"Quick bud, do something, I still need more time," Klaus said to Grey.

Grey looked at the attacks that were coming in their direction, looking at Klaus who didn't want to do anything until he absorbs the rest of the essence in the small rock, he couldn't help but sigh.

'He's such a headache!'

With that thought in his head, he spread out both hands, and a sea of blue flames sprang out, surrounding the duo.

Since the attacks of the people were ice, Grey's blue flame was able to quickly melt most of them.

Unfortunately, the sheer number of people put him in a disadvantageous position. If he were being attacked by only ten people or so, he was confident in being able to block them, but fifty people? He didn't even have up to twenty percent confidence.

Boom! Bam!

He started switching between the earth and fire element to block the attacks of the townspeople.

In the tea shop.

Oliver and Blake were watching the battle seriously.

"The boy's flame is remarkable," Oliver commented.

"Didn't he only have two elements when he came to the Academy?" Delia couldn't help but ask.

Due to the time Chris told Blake to trick Grey into believing he had a better cultivation technique, she was curious about him and checked his files. So she was aware he only had the earth and lightning element when he joined the Academy.

"Yeah, according to Klaus, he inherited the legacy of an old expert in the trial land," Blake explained.

"Oh! One can get an element they have no affinity with?" Delia asked, stunned.

"Apparently…" Blake tried to explain, but he paused since he couldn't come up with a convincing theory. Even he felt the possibility of that happening was zero!

"No need to worry about it. Everyone has their secrets," Oliver said.

Delia and Blake nodded.

Which genius didn't have a secret? Even someone as stupid as Klaus had a secret that is able to make him absorb the ice energy from the small rock while the townspeople couldn't.

"Wait, I can understand why Klaus is able to absorb the ice energy, but how's he able to do it as well?" Blake suddenly thought of something.

Grey and Klaus were obviously the only two people absorbing the ice energy, and since Klaus was a Water Elementalists, it was understandable, but Grey absorbing it doesn't make any sense.

What was more alarming was that Grey was absorbing more energy than even Klaus!

"Huh?" Oliver turned to look at Grey more intently, his pupils dilated while he muttered to himself, "It can't be,"

"Could it be that he also has the water element?" Delia asked stunned.

Having three elements was already surprising, if Grey were to have a fourth element, it would be astonishing. But the thing that they all couldn't wrap their heads around was how the hell did someone who had two elements three years ago suddenly start popping up with more elements.

It just doesn't make sense!

"No one else should find out about this, having the fire element can easily be attributed to the trial land since its mysterious, but having the water element would make things more difficult for him if people were to find out," Oliver warned Blake and Delia.

Although he knew they wouldn't divulge this information, it didn't hurt to remind them again.

"Yes Teacher," Blake nodded before adding, "If what I'm thinking is correct, then there's a chance Grey can acquire other elements,"

Delia was smart, so even she had thought of this possibility, but neither of the three people here wanted to believe that. How could they believe it? This was something unheard of.

Everyone knows the more elements an Elementalist has, the more versatile they are when fighting. They can almost certainly counter any opponent since some elements naturally suppress others.

Elementalists don't usually depend on elemental suppression since in most battles one person would be stronger than the other. But in a case where both Elementalists are of equal strength and elemental grade, elemental suppression would occur, giving one of the fighters a boost.

So with Grey having multiple elements, he could easily suppress any of his opponents. Although, none of the people here felt Grey would ever come to such a situation since he was monstrously strong.

Whoever he couldn't defeat given his arsenal, would be far stronger than he was.
