Chapter 43
Over the week, Grey and his mum were happily doing chores all around the house while they were also renovating some corners of the house with the coins Grey found it bronze land planet.
When questioned where he had gotten the coins from, he lied that he used his powers for menial jobs earning him a little gold. Grey hadn't brought out the whole coins otherwise his mum wouldn't have believed his story.
So he just took out two gold coins and presented it to her. To them poor people, even a single gold coin was a fortune to them not to talk about two.
Clara was beyond ecstatic when she saw the coins and she got to work in trying to renovate the house to make it a little comfortable while also paying off the debts they owed a lot of people.
While still having enough coins at hand. Grey couldn't help but imagine how his mum's face would have looked like if he had brought the whole chest of coins out.
Throughout the previous week, Grey had been busy assisting his mum in renovations and all around the house with his magic. He used his wind magic to clean the house of any cobwebs or dust.
His wind magic was also used to chop the woods that will be used for firewood. Their lives became easier due to Grey's magic and he was also happy to be himself without hiding his powers.
His routine also changed to helping his mum at home during the day then going out to practice his magic. And at night, he practiced cultivating his magic trying to control his mana properly so it will only take a little bit of his mana to cast his spells.
Today, he decided to take a bit of time from his normal schedule so he could visit the library to see if there is any new information he could find maybe about the otherworlders.
After getting dressed, he slipped out of the house and was gently strolling to the library with his hands in his pocket. After walking out of the alleyways that led to where their house is located at the poor side of the small town, Grey was now out on the streets of the small town.
That had people walking around with smiles on their faces, people flying around using their wind magic. Although wind magic was one of the elements, it was still quite a common ability.
He could even see some kids trying to cast little spells with their parents off to the side trying to encourage and help them. While looking around, he could see buildings but big and small.
The small buildings was where things were sold. Either food stuffs or clothes and other things.
Seeing all these things and looking at some people fairly dressed, Grey couldn't help but sigh.
'If we had been quite rich a little bit, we would have been living in this town not in that broken down area where poor people lived.' He thought and then he clenched his hands in determination.
'Mum, I promise you, I will make sure our lives change for the better. Now that I have unlocked my affinities, I will try my best to better our lives.' He thought with a determined look on his face.
With a sigh, he proceeded on his journey as he could see a medium sized building in front of him. Stepping through it, he was met with rows and shelves of books at every corner of the building.
Picking one of them, he went off to the side to begin reading. Grey spent at least two hours surfing the whole library looking for any books that would possibly talk about the otherworlders but he found none.
The only thing he found were basic spells, skill books and the history of the town and the whole kingdom in total.
The librarian seeing Grey pick a book, glance through it and drop it back was quite confused about why he was doing so. So he approached Grey and then placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Anything the problem? Are you looking for a specific book?" The librarian asked.
'The librarian? If anybody would know where I will find a book about those otherworlders, it should be him. Maybe he would even know something about them being a librarian.' He thought.
"Yes, there was this term u heard some time ago and I was trying to find it."
"What term?" The librarian asked.
"The otherworlders. Know anything about them?" Grey asked with a raised eyebrow while looking for any subtle body signs on the librarian but he found none.
"The otherworlders." The librarian said while stroking his small beard. "I have heard that term before but information about them is not going to be in this small town library, you will surely find it in the main capital."
The main capital was where the Emperor along with his subordinates lived. All the high star mages that were at least the 5 star and above, lived in the capital with them being either in the Emperor's army, or they were being independent trying to make a name for themselves.
'How will I get to the main capital now? Only the rich live there. I think that's what this librarian is trying to tell me, that an information like that can only be obtained by the rich.' Grey sighed as he stood and smiled at the librarian.
"Thank you so much sir." He smiled and then walked out of the library.
'Since I can't find any information about them here, I should just give up on them and try to grow stronger.' He thought as he was now on the main street of the town about heading home.
"Hey weakling!" A voice was heard shouting and Grey stopped in his tracks grinding his teeth.
"Clark!" He mumbled under his breath.
"Hey weakling can't you hear me?" Clark shouted again as he along with two of his friends were coming over.
Grey just ignored them and continued walking and then he felt a gust of wind blowing from behind him and then a palm was placed on his shoulder.
"Didn't you hear me calling you?" Clark asked as he turned Grey around.
"Call me? Did you call me? Strange, I didn't hear my name neither did I hear you call me. So when did you?" Grey asked with a raised brow.
"I kept on calling you repeatedly but you kept ignoring me." Clark said.
"Weakling." Grey said.
"Yes." Clark said.
"See, i heard someone calling you weakling and you responded so it definitely wasn't me you were talking to." Grey smiled.
"You!" Clark said furiously as he could hear his friends laughing at him from behind.
"I'm gonna kill you!" Clark said as a gust of wind was surrounding his hands.
"Oh really? I want to see you try." Grey smiled and then Clark leapt towards him with immense speed.
