The Divine Elements

Chapter 6 - Element-Less

Seeing the wrath and anger on the boy's face, the girls felt a deep fear surge through their hearts, as their knees started to uncontrollably quiver.

Suddenly, all three girls turned around and burst into motion as they tried to flee from the boy. They were not thinking rationally about the situation, and were just acting purely on instincts. If they had taken some time to consider, then they would have realised that the boy was just as young as them, and he could not possibly be a lot stronger than them.

If they also knew that he was a Lightning elementalist, then the girls would have died in shame at that moment!

After a few seconds, the blue-eyed girl's knees suddenly gave out, and she fell down with a abrupt yelp. She frantically glanced back to see if Calron was still following her.

Seeing the boy continue to stand there while exuding such a great killing intent, she painfully struggled back onto her feet and immediately sprinted to catch up to the other girls.

Although her heart was still trembling with fear, a small ember of anger started to slowly burn within her chest when she realised that this boy had dared to publicly humiliate her like this.

Vowing retribution, she swallowed her pride for the moment, and continued fleeing.

Meanwhile, Calron desperately tried to restrain the pain shooting through him, as veins started to pop up all across his body.

"You need to control yourself, kid. You are not yet ready to control the Azure Lightning, and if you try to force it out like this again, your life could be in danger. Your current body is simply too weak to endure its strain. Now, try to steady your breathing and force the lightning back into your core."

Under his Teacher's guidance, Calron painfully forced the Azure Lightning back into his body bit by bit, until the agony truly stopped.

Breathing a sigh of relief, Calron wiped the sweat off his forehead while looking down at his sweat-soaked robe. He promised himself that he would not call out the Azure Lightning until he was ready in future. The gut-wrenching pain it brought was too unbearable for the eight year old Calron.

In truth, Calron was not really angry with the girls, as they were just spoilt and rude. It was just that his emotions were extremely unstable at the moment, as it had just been a day since he had to bury his family. He was completely alone in the world. He was an orphan.

Furthermore, the Azure Lightning that awakened inside of him was utterly unfathomable, and seemed to bring more destruction to him than his enemies.

"Kid, no need to fret this much over that Azure Lightning. It does not truly wish to harm you, but its very nature is violent, and until you reach at least the peak of the Spiritual stage, using the Azure Lightning would just cause you further torment."

The Voice stated in a consoling tone, as it tried to alleviate its student's worries.

*Grumble*

"Enough of this. Go eat, NOW!"

The Voice's yell immediately jolted Calron out of his stupor, and he quickly rushed towards the gathering hall while ruffling his robe into a presentable form.
