Chapter 28: Sorry! I Didn't Know You Were Busy Two days passed without any notable progress. In these three days, Grey had tried multiple times to break the first layer but failed. He was able to successfully attract the elemental particles on the second day. Grey had also searched for a place where he could continue his usual physical training. He was already accustomed to it, and after his battle with Derek the last time, he knew training his body has its advantages. He didn’t want to be disturbed at the Academy so he chose to find some place else. Grey soon found a spot, a mountain located right behind the Lunar Academy. Being located close to a mountain range, naturally there were many mountains close to the Academy. Grey also went to take classes during these three days and decided he’ll just stay at home. When he got to class one of the Lightning Hall, he was shocked by the number of students in the class. He was literally the only student in class one. He later found out the Academy gives all new students a year to break through from the Collection Plane to the Fusion Plane, so all the previous class one students are already in class two. Most of the students of the Lightning Hall are in class two, with class three only have nine students. The total students in the Lightning Hall was a meager 24 including Grey. Since he was the only student with the Lightning element among the new recruits, there was no way for class one to have another student, because students are recruited once every year. Blake told him to focus fully on trying to break through to the Collection Plane. For now, there isn’t anything important to teach him. So Grey just focused fully on his training. Grey had only seven days left to break through. He didn’t put pressure on himself since he was already very close to doing it. He felt it wouldn’t take him up to the said ten days before he breaks through to the First stage of the Collection Plane. On the seventh day when Grey was meditating, he heard a puncturing sound. That was the sound made when someone breaks through a layer. He had finally broken through to the First stage of the Collection Plane. After breaking through, he felt his body strengthening under the influence of the elements which were rushing into his body. Although little, it still caused a little change for him. He felt stronger than before and also much lighter. “What a great feeling” Grey said with delight. The feeling of breaking through was new to him, he felt great pleasure from it. His body was greedily sucking in the elements and improving his physique with each passing second. Grey calmed his mind and continued his meditation, he had already broken through to the Collection Plane, so he felt totally relieved. The next morning, he went to the mountain as usual for his physical training. He noticed his strength, speed, stamina, senses have all increased. Although by a little, since he trains every day, he was able to notice it. Grey didn’t stop his meditation after breaking through to the Collection Plane, he knew this was only just the beginning, and he needed to work hard if he wants to have any hopes of catching up with his peers. The strong became strong one step at a time and through achieving many accomplishments. Grey was able to break through another layer before the tenth day, his speed could be said to be terrifying as it would take a new Elementalist at least two months to go through from the First layer to the Second given they had Purple talent. Even those with Blue talents would take at least a month and half to achieve this feat, only the most exceptional ones do it within a month. Blake’s office…. “Today is the last day, do you think he can do it?” Lynn asked thoughtfully. “I don’t know, but I told him to report to me today no matter the outcome of his training” Blake replied. He hadn’t seen Grey since he told him to focus fully on his cultivation. He wasn’t confident in Grey breaking through within these ten days. If he had been given twenty days, then he would have been certain he would. But ten days, it was just too short for him. “I can’t believe you actually played such a trick on a new student” A soft voice filled with amusement rang in the office. Blake looked at where the voice came from with a long face. The speaker was one of the instructors of the Water Hall. She looked like she was still in her early twenties. “Delia, I’ve already told you it wasn’t my idea. I’m not that free to play tricks on kids” Blake immediately rebutted. Both immediately started bickering at each other, Lynn and the other instructors present looked at them feeling a headache coming. Whenever both of them were present in the same place, they would always bicker at each other like kids. “Enough you two. One more word from you and I’ll send you out Delia” Lynn immediately stepped in. She knew there would be no end to it if they didn’t stop it. Delia was the only instructor present who wasn’t a head instructor. “What is she even doing here?” Blake asked in displeasure. “She heard about it and was also curious to see if Grey would succeed. She begged to follow, and I couldn’t say no” The head instructor of the Water Hall shrugged while answering. If Grey could successfully break through to the First stage of the Collection Plane within ten days, it would be the fastest of any student in the history of the Academy. This was the reason the head instructors were all present. Only one student have been able to successfully break through to the Collection Plane in ten days. And that student was precisely Delia, she had a Blue talent and was a freak in cultivation. Although she was still very young, she had already caught up with most of the instructors who taught her while she was still a student. Grey walked towards the Hall while humming a little tune to himself. He was in a great mood after breaking through to the Second stage of the Collection Plane the previous night. “This technique is truly great. It only took me ten days to break through two layers” Grey couldn’t help but praise the technique in his heart. He felt grateful to Chris for giving him this special treatment. *Knock Knock* Grey lightly knocked at the door. “Enter” Blake’s voice could be heard from the office. Grey opened the door of the office and went in. He was startled when he walked in, he realized Blake wasn’t alone in the office. The only person he recognized was Lynn. “Oh sorry, I didn’t know you were busy” Grey apologized and turned around quickly heading outside the office, he closed the door after going out without even waiting for a response. Blake and the other instructors were dumbstruck, never expecting something like this to happen.
