Affinity: Chaos

Chapter 25:Blake

Grey and Klaus walked towards the students' living quarters. Klaus had shown Grey most parts of the Academy while they were walking.

"Oh, they informed me at the registration office that the new students would have to assemble to take the test again. Is there any use for this?" Grey remembered what he was told at the office and asked Klaus in a puzzled manner.

"This didn't happen in the Academy previously, it was only after an instructor brought his relative to the Academy, and he wasn't up to the requirements of the Academy. The Academy only found out after some time. Therefore although each new students have already done the test in their cities, they will also take the test again here in the Academy" Klaus explained the reason for the test.

In the living quarters, Grey saw each student had a house in a spacious compound. All the buildings had the same size and style. Each compound was approximately 220 yards in length and width. It was massive for a single student. Each compound had a number tagged at the small gate leading into the compound, they walked until they got to the compound with the number 413 on the gate.

Grey fished out the key given to him at the registration office and opened the gate. When they went into the house, it was dusty and cobwebs could be seen everywhere. There were chairs and when Grey went into the room, he also found a bed well placed at the side of the room. It was decent for a student.

After Grey completely checked out the house, he asked Klaus where his house was located.

"I stay at building 227" Klaus replied. Grey followed Klaus to his apartment and stayed with him for some time. He left quickly since he would have to clean up.

Due to the space before each compound, the environment was quiet. He noticed the Academy didn't give any special treatments to the students and each house contained the same things. The students can decide to decorate it after they start living in them. He thought students would have to stay in the same building, but since the students in the Lunar Academy aren't much, they could live alone in each building.

Grey worked almost all through the day and didn't step out once. By the time he was done cleaning, it was already night. He was totally exhausted and immediately fell asleep.

The next morning, Grey woke up early as he usually does and washed up before heading towards where the new students were to take the test. Klaus already showed him the place, and he had a good memory, so he quickly found the hall. When he got there, he saw 20 kids were already there. They had to wait outside the hall, more students appeared before the instructors came out of the hall.

Grey counted and found out they were only 46 new students, 'How can such a big Academy have this small amount of new students' Grey thought, stupefied by the Academy's selection.

Grey focused his gaze at the instructors who came out of the hall. They were led by a woman who seemed to be in her fifties. When she got closer to the student, she spoke in a clear voice "Hello everyone, I'm the Head instructor of the Wind Hall. We will now begin the test to know which halls each student will be going to"

"Once you hear your name, you should head into the hall for the test" An instructor by the side said after the woman finished talking.

The first name on the list was quickly called up, and the kid went into the hall filled with excitement. The instructors were pretty fast with the test since they already knew the elements and talents of each kid. They just had to follow the rules.

Soon it got to Grey's turn. When he stepped in, all the instructors looked at him with interest. They've heard of how he could not awaken an element when he was 12 years old and could only do so when he got to 16 years of age. They felt he was pretty lucky since he could awaken his element even after failing to do so initially.

"Since you all haven't officially started cultivating yet, you won't really need to go to classes. You all have one month to get into the Collection Plane and then start your classes. Now you can head to the first floor of the library to collect the cultivation technique" The Head instructor of the Wind Hall said before dismissing the kids.

When Grey was about to leave, he was called up by a man among the instructors.

"I'm the head instructor of the Lightning Hall, you can call me instructor Blake" Blake said with a friendly smile.

"Hello sir" Grey said courteously. Blake looked sharp and handsome. He looked like someone in his early thirties and had a dignified voice. Well, it sounded dignified when he heard him speak just now.

"Actually, I'm the only instructor in the Lightning Hall, so I take all my new students of the Hall very importantly" Blake said seriously.

Grey immediately knew why he called up only him. 'Seems like I'm the only one who has an affinity with the Lightning element among all the new students' Grey thought. From this, one could see just how rare the Lightning element is.

"Come with me, you don't need to go over to the Library to take a technique. Besides, they are all low leveled ones" Blake said with a smile.

"Blake, what are you doing?" Grey heard a stern voice from behind Instructor Blake.

Blake immediately tensed up when he heard this voice.

"Nothing" Blake replied with a small voice.

Grey stared at Blake, completely shocked by his sudden change. One second he was a dignified man the next he was as meek as a child.
