'It's been a month already, are you confident in being able to comprehend it?' Alice asked.

"Of course, I don't do things I'm not confident in," Grey replied with confidence.

'I know you're still here because you want to see me,' Alice said. After a while, she added, 'You know you can leave, right?'

"Yeah, I know," Grey replied with a wry smile.

Comprehending the space element has proved harder than he expected. He had told Alice he would be able to come to see her when he comprehends the space element, but even though he could feel he was close to it, he hasn't been able to yet.

"Congratulations on breaking through to the Fourth stage!" Grey changed the topic.

'Yeah, but I'm still no way near you. You're already in the Sixth stage, and that was over a month ago,' Alice replied.

"I have six elements with the lowest grade being purple grade, you shouldn't compare my speed with yours," Grey encouraged her.

'Yeah, I'm glad I've been able to talk to you lately. If only the others were around,' Alice replied sadly.

"Yeah, Reynolds would be the first I'll give this to, so you'll be able to talk to him soon. Klaus seems to be moving further away from me, so it would take a while to get to him," Grey said.

'Hey, I'd like to see you, but I think it's best for you to leave. I know you also want to go find your parents,' Alice said softly.

"Yeah, I'll stay for two more weeks. If I'm unable to comprehend it, then I'll head over to give Reynolds the device before heading over to give Klaus the other," Grey nodded.

He wasn't going to waste all his time on the space element. If he couldn't comprehend it now, he would be able to comprehend it later, there was no use bothering himself over it.

"I feel like I'm missing something, if I can get that, then I would be able to comprehend it," He added.

'Okay, good luck!' Alice cheered him on.

"Thank you, I'm also working on something else actually, and I might just be able to complete it within the next two weeks," Grey said with a proud smile.

'Oh, what's that?' Alice asked curiously.

"It's like a communication device, but unlike this current one, we will be able to see each other," Grey replied.

'How do you even think of all these? Is something like that even possible?' Alice almost couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Actually, it shouldn't be too hard, I think. I've been doing some hypothesis for some time now, and I feel it's quite plausible," Grey replied.

'You have a crazy mind, always coming up with weird ideas,' Alice laughed as she replied.

"I also planned on making some type of teleportation array, just like what we used in going into the trial land. I feel if I'm able to integrate the space element into an array, it should work," Grey continued telling her of his other plans.

'You really need to get out of that room, the longer you stay there, the crazier you'll become,' Alice chuckled.

She knew what Grey said about the teleportation array was right, but she felt he had been thinking too much, which isn't necessarily good.

"Come on, think about it. Being able to move from one city to another in an instant, would be revolutionary. I think why no one has had this idea was because they didn't understand how the array on the trial land works."

"But after coming in contact with Void, and knowing of the space element, I know why," Grey explained.

'The array in the trial land?' Alice asked thoughtfully.

"Yeah, if my conjecture is right, the space element was integrated into it, making us travel through space to another place," Grey replied.

'Space element? I can't really say much about it since I know little about arrays and the space element,' Alice said.

"Yeah, do you remember the feeling of being sucked into…" Grey suddenly paused.

'Grey, are you there?' Alice asked when Grey suddenly went quiet.

"Haha, that's it! All I need to do is remember that feeling," Grey laughed out excitedly.

'Are you alright?' Alice asked worriedly.

"Yes, thank you!" Grey said happily.

'For what?' asked a confused Alice.

"For helping me find the missing piece," Grey replied.

'Uhmmm, you're welcome,' Alice replied with a little uncertainty.

"I have to go now, I'll talk to you later!" Grey said and tossed the device to the bed.

'Okay, good bye,' Alice said, unfortunately, Grey wouldn't be able to hear her, nor reply to her.

Grey was currently grinning from ear to ear.

'All I need to do is remember that feeling, once I do it, it'll all click.' He thought excitedly.

Who knew talking with someone would actually lead him to finding out what was missing. Although he was the one who spoke about it, if he never had this conversation with Alice, there was no way he would've been struck with this idea.

He had been thinking about this for a while now, but he never thought about it this way.

He quickly calmed his excited mind, now, he had to clear his head from all distractions so he could go back to the time when they were being pulled into the trial land.

That was a feeling he had felt multiple times, all of them were in the trial land. If he could properly recall the feeling, then he would be able to comprehend it.

He had been studying the space element for a while now, with Void's help, but it was different from the darkness element where all he had to do was a couple experiments. He had tried it with the space element, but he had been unable to do it.

After calming his mind, he tried to recall how he felt during all the times while he was being transported by the space element in the trial land.

If he's able to get the feeling, then he would be able to unlock the space element.

'This time, I'll definitely get it!'
