Gray turned to Michael at the sound of his voice. He turned, but his expression was blank. It was as if he didn't remember anything. When he looked at Michael's face, he frowned.

"You look a lot like an old friend of mine," he said. His voice was hoarse and quiet. It was the voice of someone who had been dehydrated for a long time. Michael's eyes flickered as Gray looked at Michael, tired and without energy. He hadn't recognised him. It wasn't because so much time had passed. It was because Michael had changed so much.

He was young and handsome then. Gray didn't witness his damnation. Gray noticed the sadness in Michael's gaze. Michael's resentment caused Gray's expression to soften a little more.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Did I say something wrong? If I said something wrong-" Before Gray could finish, he was grabbed by two arms. As Michael's tears fell on Gray's shoulder, Gray stood, not realising what had happened. Involuntarily, he also hugged Michael. The look on his face said that he didn't understand anything, and he was just realising that the feeling of longing was awakening from the depths of his heart.

He couldn't understand what was happening. How could he miss someone he didn't know so much. He knew they had saved him, but he was really a stranger and it could be dangerous to have such strange feelings for him.

"You didn't recognise me, but your heart did. Even though you continue on the path of the spirit, your heart is still strong enough to remember me, brother. You told me to call you that, right? After all, you are 200 years older than me." said Michael. The smile on Michael's face had only appeared once in the last 200 years. Since then, he was this happy for the second time.

Gray was shocked by what he heard. This time his eyes really started to tear up. Memories came flooding back. The war and everything. He remembered when Michael had awakened his madness and potential. He remembered the last time he heard his master. Michael must have been destroyed in that explosion.

"Michael... Y-you're alive. B-but how?" A sad expression appeared on Michael's face and he stopped hugging Gray.

"My master sacrificed himself. Don't worry, we'll talk about everything in a moment. Now let me introduce you to these two young men."

Michael's brain must have gone numb because he would not take out someone who had been living in a sword for the last 200 years, hungry, thirsty, and more importantly, alone. Instead, he was introducing 2 young men with whom he would probably never have to deal with.

Michael showed Kai and Boyd with his hands. Meanwhile, Gray looked at his hair with his hands. His hair used to be brown. Now the Hell sword of the 7 Dimensions had absorbed his hair colour. He should have been thankful that it only absorbed his hair colour, but he cursed himself for having colourless hair.

"The one with brown hair is the current owner of the Hell Sword of the 7th Dimension that you entered. He came in 2nd place in the 1st Grade District 1 Tournament."

"This blonde-haired one is much more special. Can you guess who he is?" Gray looked at Kai for a while, but he couldn't recognise him at all.

"I'm not sure.... He looks like a child of Uranus. He also looks like Poseidon. What is this his grandson or something?" Michael was surprised for a moment that Gray saw Poseidon, but his gaze shifted back to Kai. A jealousy appeared in his heart. Gray was a genius who could break through to the 6th step in those years, but did that matter in front of Poseidon? What was the real reason for Poseidon's attention?

If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

He hid these thoughts and looked at Kai suspiciously.

"I don't know if he is related to Poseidon, but he is a Kingslayer. One of only two left in this time. The other king killer is... Kai was the winner of the tournament," Michael said.

Michael hid who the second Kingslayer was. It made Kai and Boyd suspicious. Michael was the headmaster and it was normal for him to have secrets, but after the Sky War, many people said that he became very mysterious. Kai also learnt from his masters that Michael had a strange attitude. So he began to think that he should pay more attention to him. He didn't believe he'd do anything to harm the Progressives. He just paid more attention.

Gray didn't know what to expect. That the child in front of him was one of the two Kingslayers currently on Earth? Or that one of Uranus' children was in Zone 1?

Obviously they were always found as children and brought to the academies. It was strange that one of them was brought in so late.

"I know you're surprised. We'll talk about everything. Guys, this is Gray. He's the only other survivor of the disaster 200 years ago besides me. He looks so young, but he's older than me. You can leave now. Kai, from now on, you'll be attending classes in zone two. And don't forget that you don't have classes for a week. You have been given a holiday to recuperate and recover. " said Michael. Although Michael sent them off, neither Kai nor Boyd had gone. Seeing that they were still waiting, Michael did not ask why. He waited for their words.

"I have a question."

"I have a question. "

Boyd and Kai looked at each other, but Boyd remained silent and let Kai speak. Kai also got into the conversation without waiting.

"Actually, this has been on my mind for a very long time. I was going to ask you about what kings are. I know they are not normal kings, maybe you can enlighten me." said Kai. Michael looked at Gray on this question. After Gray nodded, he got into the word.

"King is a title. The universe gives this title. It is not something that depends on power. It is given completely depending on your potential. If you have a really great potential in a skill, the universe can give you the title of King. You can be a King even with yellow lightning. But you have to realise the true potential of that talent. This is a bit difficult. That's why there aren't more than a handful of Kings in the world. My master was a King. Ursula, King of the Seas. She sacrificed herself to save me on the day of disaster. I'll never be able to repay her," Gray said. The regret in his heart was too great. Still, he was old enough to know he had to go on.

"Maybe one day you'll get the title of King. But for that, you really need to awaken potential. After you become King, your development path will accelerate 10 times. That's a very good thing for you," Gray said. Kai immediately bowed his head and left the room. It was time for Boyd's question.

"I wanted to ask what you call the path. What is the spirit path?" Gray laughed with this question. 200 years ago he had explained the same to Michael. Now he was going to explain it to someone else from his academy.

"There are 4 methods for emotional development. Heart, mind, body and soul. The heart represents love.

The mind represents excitement and curiosity.

The soul represents peace.

The body represents anger and fear. "

"These are our direction of development. It is how we develop. One wrong choice can destroy you. That's why you always have to make the right choice. Still, there are some exceptions. I took the path of the spirit when I should have taken the path of the body. Although this made it very difficult for me at the first step, as soon as I got to the second step, my development took off like a rocket. Also your friend who just left. I think he has a much better understanding of the path than anyone who has ever come before. He's travelling four roads at the same time. It's a bit crazy, but he's no different from the maniacs in his past lives. The children of Uranus have always been like that. That's why they're called Kingslayers. Every child of Uranus born has killed a king in his lifetime. Like I said, maniacs. "Boyd was shocked when Gray stopped talking. He realised then that the force Kai had used to defeat him was nothing to him. He realised Kai's power. So he got up to work like a madman. He had to prepare to move through the paths. Of course, he wouldn't go four ways like Kai. But he would never be powerless.

Boyd quickly left the room and only two friends remained in the room. They both sat down in the armchair next to them and started talking.
