Female Novel
Chapter 58
The remaining participants looked at the scene in terror. The Elemental Guilds really did not care about their image. They hadattacked 4,750 of the most talented youngsters in the surrounding thousands of kilometers. Were they not afraid that theirfamilies and organizations would take revenge?
The Guild Master of Wind just nodded in satisfaction like she had finally cleared a mountain of trash, and walked back to theother Guild Masters. The other Guild Masters had, by now, put away the tower bench and stood beside each other. They nolonger needed to look from above to judge the participants.
"Did you kill them?" asked the Guild Master of Earth, unsure.
"| don't know," said the Guild Master of Wind back. "I didn't really pay that much attention to them. | just threw them away," shespoke in a giggly voice. "| have no idea if they are alive or not."
The other Guild Masters could only smile bitterly, but there was nothing they could do. The Guild Master of Wind was, by far, thestrongest of them.
The participants looked on in awe. Earlier, they had known about the Guild Masters’ illustrious status, but only after the GuildMaster of Wind acted, did they properly see the Guild Masters’ power. Their will to join the Elemental Guilds was higher thanever before.
“lam amazed that you were able to keep up your Heavenly Pressure for this long," said the Guild Master of Lightning as hewalked over to Gravis, who had just stood up. "Keeping the Heavenly Pressure up for this long must be very exhausting to you.Do you require a break?"
Gravis narrowed his eyes. ‘Another difference between a Heavenborn and me,’ he thought to himself. Apparently, usingHeavenly Pressure required the use of stamina or energy. Keeping up a Will-Aura, on the other hand, came as natural asbreathing.
The Will-Aura is only releasing the inner self to the outside world. One might think Gravis's state without his Will-Aura activated ishis normal state, but that was wrong. Suppressing his Will-Aura took more energy than letting it flow out. When Gravis tested theparticipants, he wasn't even concentrating. He was just resting.
"No, | don't need a break. | need my reward!" Gravis said evenly.
The Guild Master of Lightning laughed. "No worries! You'll get all the Bone-Pills you need after we're finished with the tests," hesaid with a smile.
"Why not now?" asked Gravis again. He was walking on dangerous territory with that question, and he knew that, but he had tobe sure that they would keep their words.
The Guild Master of Lightning narrowed his eyes and looked into Gravis' eyes. Sparks seemed to appear between their eyes,and they didn't stop. Gravis couldn't feel the Guild Master of Lightning's will, but he could feel his strength. The Guild Master wasdefinitely stronger than him, yet Gravis did not trust him, yet.
The stare continued, and slowly, the Guild Master of Lightning realized that he couldn't suppress Gravis. After a while, he sighed,moved closer, and whispered in Gravis' ear. "Because we don't have any with us," he said in embarrassment. "They're all back inour guilds."
Gravis didn't want to stop now. He needed more power, and he was not ready to trust the Guild Masters, yet. "Then go buysome," he whispered back in annoyance.
"What?" said the Guild Master of Lightning loudly, and everyone turned to him. Quickly, he went back to whispering. "Why wouldwe buy the pills from Body City? The prices there are ridiculous!"
Gravis couldn't let up. He had seen through some of the Guild Master of Lightning's personality. He obviously was ratherrighteous and honest. If he weren't, he wouldn't have told him openly that he didn't have the pills with him. That was anembarrassment for someone of his status.
“Because you promised!" Gravis said.
Suddenly, the Guild Master of Lightning grew angry and slight amounts of lightning came out of his body. He gnashed his teeth infrustration and clenched his fists. The participants looked at him in fear, while the other Guild Masters gloated. It seemed like theold "calm" man had kicked a steel plate.
The Guild Master of Lightning was wrestling with himself, and he hadn't answered yet.
"If it is any consolation, | wanted to join the Lightning Guild in the first place," Gravis whispered. "| don't care about the otherelements. So, why not give a good example, and show that my decision was correct?” Gravis’ whisper was like the voice of adevil.
The Guild Master of Lightning released a sigh and calmed down. "You win," he whispered. "Do you know how many pills youneed?" he asked.
"| only need seven more," Gravis said, also relieved.
When the Guild Master of Lightning heard the number, his face whitened. "What do you mean, only seven? That's a ridiculousnumber!" he whispered angrily.
Gravis looked unhappily at him. "I've already bought 13, so don't complain!" he whispered back in annoyance.
The Guild Master of Lightning's jaw dropped. "Are you actually trying to tell me that you need 20 whole pills to temper a part ofyour body? Where would you even get so much money?" he asked in shock.
“Lots and lots of hunting," Gravis explained.
The Guild Master of Lightning looked at Gravis with renewed fervor. If Gravis managed to get so much money from hunting atsuch an early age, he had to have hunted more than just ferocious beasts. The Guild Master of Lightning got another idea.
“Have you ever hunted a medium-grade demonic beast?" he asked with hope in his eyes.
Gravis nodded. "I killed one before, but that was mostly thanks to a Formation Array that | had bought. The Formation Array keptit inside of a cage for two hours," Gravis explained in a whisper.
The Guild Master of Lightning noticed the word ‘mostly’. He realized that Gravis had a lot of fighting experience. The GuildMaster of Lightning knew which kind of Formation Array Gravis was talking about, and he knew that it only helped, nothing more.The Formation Array alone couldn't kill a middle-grade demonic beast.
‘Wait,’ the Guild Master of Lightning suddenly had a thought. 'He has been fighting lots and lots of strong enemies for a longwhile, enough to earn over 200 gold. Now, there is only one question left...’
"Do you mostly hunt alone or in a team?" he asked Gravis in a whisper again.
"| don't hunt with others," Gravis said clearly.
The Guild Master of Lightning looked excited and also sly. "So," he whispered. "You don't have Heavenly Pressure, but actually aWill-Aura, right?"
Gravis narrowed his eyes. This could be dangerous. Gravis was not sure how the Guild Master of Lightning would react if Gravisconfirmed.
“Now that | think about it," the Guild Master of Lightning whispered. "That would also explain how you could keep up the"Heavenly Pressure’ for so long."
As he thought more about it, moreand more puzzle pieces were fallinginto place. "That al explains yourangry regotion Sd t'what Ferns hadsaid. Wow," he looked at Gravis withfiery greed. "A Will-Aura in the BodyTempering Stage. No one wouldbelieve me if | told them." Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org! Readthe latest chapter there!
“Are you two done, yet?" came the shout of the Guild Master of Fire. They were all waiting for those two to finish. They had firstseen the Guild Master of Lightning getting angry, and then being happy. This was suspicious.

Gravis felt relieved. "So, what now?" he asked.
The Guild Master of Lightninggrinned. "I'll get you your pills. Whenthe next test begins, you shosimda secluded place a (Ora yourbanks: When you're done, search fora middle-grade demonic beast.

Gravis first felt astounded and then grinned. "That sounds good," he whispered back.
"Yeah, just try not to die. If you succeed, the others will look on in envy towards me, when you inevitably join the Lightning Guild,”The Guild Master of Lightning started laughing.
"| think | will have a good time in the Lightning Guild," said Gravis, and they both started shaking hands, laughing quietly andslyly.
An agreement was formed.
