"thank you for letting me win." grey bowed softly to the elder. although his intentions were purely for the aim of using the new method of inscribing, he also wanted to test out his strength against someone of this level.
being able to use the inscribing method in such a situation was quite impressive, and he was pleased with his progress so far. all he has to do now is be able to overlap the arrays, making his attack power stronger.
he didn't have any reason to stay on the arena any longer, just as he was about to leave, the number one young genius from the lyttelton family stepped on the platform.
his sudden appearance caught everyone by surprise as they didn't expect anyone to step up to grey, especially from the younger generation. given grey's current position, he had already grown past the stage of fighting against those around his age.
grey didn't stop his movements, even with the young man stepping on the platform. he didn't know who the young man was or why he jumped onto the platform, and to be honest, he didn't really care.
seeing this, the young man spoke up, "grey dawson, i know i'm not on your level, but i too would like to experience the brilliance of someone touted as the greatest genius of our generation.
grey tilted his head to the side to look at the young man, "i'm sorry, but i see no need..."
"since he's already there, grey, spar with him." grey's grandfather interrupted him as he was about to refuse the young man.
the truth was, everyone present knew that the young man couldn't fight against grey, but they could also see the determination in his eyes. it was evident that he didn't want to leave without seeing how he fairs against grey.
"when you say spar, do you mean exchange a few moves?" grey looked in the direction of his grandfather. he wasn't one who liked sparring casually any longer. if he were to use more than fifty percent of his strength against this guy, then the battle wouldn't even last a second.
"what do you think?" grey's grandfather turned to the young man.
"i would like him to show me his true strength." the young man bowed his head.
the entire lyttelton manor was abuzz due to the news of grey, a fifth stage sovereign defeating a seventh stage sovereign. that wasn't the only news, the juiciest news was how he overwhelmed their number one genius of this generation from the lyttelton
family.
some of the youths who heard this didn't believe it and some of them searched for grey to spar with him, but none of them was able to locate grey in the manor. they later found out he was training specifically with the family head. with grey's sudden appearance in the lyttelton family, some people would naturally want to know his connection with the family as most of them didn't know who grey's mother was. when she left the family, everyone stopped mentioning her, which made it hard for the younger generation to know who she was. this sparring session brought the question as to what grey's relationship with the lyttelton family was, and the information of who his mother was came to light.
the legendary grey dawson, son of the famous lucas dawson is also related to the powerful lyttelton family, being the direct grandson of the lyttelton family head.
this news shook the entire aurora continent. grey's background was starting to be scarier and scarier. there were a few people from some top factions who already had reservations about him being from the dawson family, finding out that he's also closely related to the lyttelton family made them feel depressed. they already couldn't afford to offend the dawson family, adding the lyttelton family to this meant there was no way they would be able to even touch him, unless they want to be attacked by two of top families in the aurora continent.
they also shouldn't forget the fact that he is part of top faction too, even though the pyrmond faction is currently a shell of its former self, it was still a top faction, and they have very powerful experts hiding in the faction. given grey's talent, everyone affiliated with him wouldn't want any harm to come to him, they'd rather go to war with other factions and families.
with all the news going around, grey didn't know since he was focused on improving his new skill.
he spent another week training with his grandfather before feeling like it was time to
leave.
grey hasn't been one to stay in one place, unless he's training, just like in this case. he has been here for over a week, and he has learned everything he came here for. at the moment, he could simultaneously use the array on both arms, which was a big improvement. now all he has to learn is how to increase the number of arrays that will appear on his arm. this method of inscribing is better when he can overlap multiple
arrays.
thinking about the new attack added to his arsenal, he couldn't help but feel grateful. there's also the fusion inscription he learned some time back.
grey left the lyttelton manor with his mother, void was still asleep somewhere in his spatial ring, and grey hadn't heard from him since he entered the ring. they were returning to the dawson manor, and grey didn't have any plans of staying there.
