Affinity:Chaos

Grey didn't stay with them while they were discussing, he decided to hang out with Klaus. This was the first time they were together without having to worry that someone might show up to kill them. He also had to stay with Klaus so he could accompany him. 

For someone who was usually cheerful, Klaus had been down lately. He might still make some sarcastic remarks from time to time, but everyone knew that his father's injury was getting to him. 

"I want to get stronger," Klaus stared at the lake in the valley.

"We all do, but we can't get there instantly, it'll take some time," Grey replied. 

When the Principal was being attacked by that Earth Elementalist, he too hated his helplessness. Although he tried to learn the method as to how the old man was increasing the gravitational force, he also wanted to help out. Unfortunately, even if he used the Fusion State, it was of no use. 

During the previous night, he had offered one of the vials containing the healing tonic gotten from the Blooming Vipers, but it still did nothing. It was just like the time Void was injured, no physical treatment could help him. 

The Principal's case was not as severe as Void's, but it was still a cause for concern for them. 

"Any news on your family yet?" Klaus asked. 

Alice and Reynolds went out to meet their families, Klaus was with his father, Chris, and Blake, they were his family, Grey on the other hand had no one with him. Chris could be said to be the closest person to a family he had. 

"Not yet, but I'm sure I'll find them soon," Grey replied calmly, his emotions stable. 

He had been without his father for a long time now, and after almost five years of not seeing his mother, although he missed her, he was starting to get used to not being with them. 

"Hmm, you know what, since I'm going with you, I'll help you find your family," Klaus patted Grey on the shoulder. 

"You don't even know what the Aurora Continent looks like," Grey scoffed. 

"I don't need to know all that. Have you forgotten I have a hidden skill?" Klaus asked with a mysterious smile. 

"Oh, what's that?" Grey was a little curious when he saw Klaus' behavior. 

Klaus' reply however made Grey almost choke on his saliva. 

"My gut feeling. You have to always respect my gut feeling," Klaus said with a laugh. 

Grey's lips twitched while he looked at Klaus. 

Void who was by the side laughed out when he saw this. This was the Klaus they all knew. 

If Reynolds were here, he would've refuted Klaus for the few times that they followed his gut feelings and almost died. 

"Hey, so, how did you do that thing? I've been trying to replicate it for some time now, but I've failed in all of my attempts," Klaus suddenly asked. 

Grey was confused and asked Klaus to clarify. After hearing Klaus' explanation, he realized he was speaking about his Domain of Fire. Compared to a regular inferno, there's a special attribute of his Domain of Fire. 

"It's a domain…" He went on to explain what a domain was to Klaus, and it left him shocked. 

"Wow! I never knew there was a level like that. Does it have to do with the mastery of your element?" Klaus asked. 

"Yes, it depends on an Elementalist's understanding of their said element. For instance, Grey's mastery of the fire element has reached a very high level, hence he was able to awaken his domain. In a domain, you're god." Chris walked in at this moment. 

"Wait, doesn't that mean that someone with multiple elements could awaken multiple domains?" Klaus suddenly thought of something and asked. 

"Technically, yes," Chris nodded. 

"Damn! That's just unfair. Those with multiple elements get all the advantages in a battle then. Just imagine fighting against someone with three or four elements, and you have only one. How can one domain overpower four?" Klaus couldn't help but complain. 

"That's not exactly true. Haven't you seen or heard of scenarios where a Single Elementalist defeats a Dual or even Multi Elementalist?" Chris shook his head at Klaus' reasoning. 

"Well, yeah. But domains are different from your regular elemental attacks," Klaus replied. 

"They're the same. There are grades to domains. Of course, people don't usually think of it that way, but not all domains are of the same strength. There are cases where a First Stage Elemental Sovereign can defeat a Third or even Fourth stage Elemental Sovereign, they both have domains, but the person in the First stage has a higher elemental mastery, so they naturally get a stronger domain," Chris elucidated. 

"Oh, it's like that. Then there's no need to worry too much," Klaus laughed. 

The thought of being a Single Elementalist who will most definitely get into a fight with a Dual or even Multi Elementalist scared him. Just imagine fighting against someone like Grey who had seven elements. That will not even be called a battle, it was bullying. 

"This cat of yours, it's quite strange," Chris finally took note of Void. 

He had been trying to see what's special about Void for some time now, but he hadn't been able to get anything. Even after multiple efforts, he finally gave up. Void hadn't spoken a word since he arrived, so he didn't know much about him. 

Even when Void attacked while the battle was going on, he was too busy with his opponents to focus on the battle below. Of course he kept an eye on Grey and the others. 

"Teacher, this is Void, my friend," Grey introduced Void to Chris. 

When Chris heard of how Void came out of an egg, he was dumbstruck. 

How can a cat come out of an egg? 

This was the only question running through his head. He can even speak while only being a Rank Five magical beast. Brown still hasn't been to speak yet, and they were on the same stage. 

If Void knew that Chris was comparing him to a Griffin, he would definitely object to it.
