Chapter 44
"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 using his wind magic.
Clark thrust his hand forward and a burst of wind blew out heading towards Grey with full speed.
"Too slow." Grey smiled as he used his wind magic on his feet allowing him to move fast enough avoiding the attack that crashed on the ground where he stood earlier.
'He… he avoided that? But how? Was my suspicion right? Did he manage to unlock his affinities? But how?' Clark thought worriedly.
Then he shook his head and swung his hands repeatedly towards Grey releasing wind attack after attack causing loud noise to keep resounding anytime it hit the floor.
Those passing by now stopped to look at what was going on and they could see two young teenagers fighting like kids and they were impressed because they could see one of them dodging every single attack skillfully.
They all knew how fast wind attacks were but the red haired kid was dodging every attacks like as if it was nothing.
"Enough! I'm tired of you embarrassing me!" Clark shouted in anger as he lifted his hands and started going through a motion he was all to familiar with.
"Wind magic! Aerius!" Clark shouted as he thrust his hands and a huge burst of wind erupted and headed towards Grey who was still smiling.
"This should shock the hell out of him." He smiled as he lifted his own hands up.
"Earth magic! Earth wall!" He shouted and a huge wall appeared in front of Grey blocking the wind from hitting him.
This shocked Clark to the core as he was now sweating while his legs was shaking in fear.
"How… how is this possible? You… you are now a mage? My suspicions were right, you have unlocked your affinities! But how?" Clark said in fear as he looked at Grey.
"Let's just say that I was lucky." Grey smiled then he lifted his hands and looked Clark straight in the eye.
"Wind magic! Aerius!" Grey shouted as he thrust his hands forward and a wind bigger than Clark's erupted forward at a speed beyond Clark's speed.
"Impossible! You are a dual elementalist!" Clark shouted in fear as those on the streets were also shocked by this fact.
A dual elementalist was rare to find especially in this parts of the town. But in the capital, dual elementalists were quite easy to find but here, it was impossible. And now, they were seeing a dual elementalist in front of them, in their town.
There was nobody that didn't know who Grey was as he was the only one who didn't have an affinity in this town. Although there were those like Grey, when they discover so, they always committed suicide because they couldn't bear being called a cripple.
That was what made people know who Grey was. So seeing him wield one element was surprising and now two! It was beyond a miracle. But to Clark, it was more like a horror as he could see the same attack he used against Grey head towards him.
And in a flash, it crashed into him lifting and throwing his across the street while his body was bouncing and tumbling on the ground while losing consciousness from the force of the attack.
"A job Weldone, I have taken out the thrash nicely." Jake smiled as he turned around and began walking on his way back home.
Everybody that witnessed this feat, were so shocked and they were compelled to share the news as Grey the cripple was now a dual elementalist.
Those that heard the news, thought it was being exaggerated as everyone in the small town knew who Grey was. So hearing that he was now a dual elementalist, was shocking to say the least.
Grey got back home and could see his mum standing in front of the door with a stern look on her face.
"Grey! What did you do?" Clara asked.
"Wow mum! Is it just me or did you get more beautiful in the few minutes I went out." Grey smiled as he stared at his mum over and over again.
"Don't flatter me Grey." Clara said. "Did you fight with Clark?"
'How did she know about that so soon? Darn! News travels fast in this parts. I'm sure it is because of who I am that's why the news spread like wildfire.' He thought.
"Mum, it wasn't my fault. He attacked me first and I decided to defend myself." Grey said.
"I know you won't be the one to attack him first but you should have been careful and kept a low profile for now." Clara said.
"I know mum, I'm sorry. Wait, is that why you came outside to meet me on my way back?" He asked.
"No! I was heading out to purchase some food stuffs because we are running low on them." Clara replied.
"Oh! Can I tag along?" Grey asked.
"Are you sure?" Clara asked.
"Yes."
"Alright then, why not. Let's go." Clara said as she took the lead while Grey followed.
On the way to go purchase some food stuffs, Clara asked for the details of the fight and Grey narrated everything to her without omitting a part out of the story.
Finally, after a few minutes of walking, they were now back in town again and Clara headed off to a stall and began purchasing what she needed.
The stall owner was about to overcharge Clara but when he saw Grey and remembered the rumours, he quickly came back to his senses and Clara was happily purchasing what she wanted.
They went from stall to stall purchasing what they needed while Grey's heart was racing fast.
'What's going on? Why am I feeling weird all of a sudden? I feel like something is off somewhere.' He thought.
"Oh, you could feel it too? Which means your senses are sharper than I thought." Noir said.
"What is it? What is going on?" Grey asked and he was met with the usual silence.
"Grey! Grey! Grey!" Clara called and he was pulled out of his thoughts.
"Yes mum."
"Where were you lost?" Clara asked.
"It's… it's nothing. Have you gotten all what you needed?" He asked.
"Yes sure, let's head back home now." Clara said and she took the lead again until she didn't hear Grey following her.
Turning around, she could see Grey standing around with his head held down deep in thought again.
'Why is my heart beating so loudly and hard? It feels so suffocating!' he shouted in his mind until he heard his name again and he looked up.
"What is it son? What are you thinking ab…" Clara stuttered as she could suddenly see Grey's eyes were widened and dilated as if he had just seen the devil himself.
"Mum! Look out!" He shouted as he tried to stretch his hand.
