He soon reached the dormitory assigned exclusively to him—a privilege granted due to his exceptional performance in the entrance tests.

The door opened softly, revealing a neat, modest room with polished wooden furnishings, neatly arranged shelves stacked with textbooks, and a cozy study table set near the large, sunlit window.

Closing the door behind him, Elias exhaled deeply, sinking into the comfortable wooden chair. He ran his fingers slowly through his hair, his gaze lingering thoughtfully on the sky beyond the window.

After a moment, a quiet chuckle escaped him, tinged with an edge of self-mockery.

“Look at me, worrying about pointless things again. Orion got his Noble house to back him, nothing would happen to him,” he muttered softly to himself.

Yet his frustration lingered clearly within his thoughtful expression, stubbornly refusing to fade.

Elias leaned back in his chair, his eyes growing distant as he reflected on the meeting beneath the cherry blossom tree just moments ago.

The conversation had naturally started with Orion—the indisputable prodigy whose actions had consistently awed and amazed everyone around him.

Arya, Emilia, Sylvia, even Kale and Felira—everyone had spoken of Orion in tones of sincere admiration, respect, and worry due to his sheer potential and battle strength.

Even he himself felt the same, yet there was another feeling stirring quietly within him—something he couldn’t openly voice among his companions, whom he didn’t trust just yet.

“I… wanna compete with Orion,” Elias murmured softly to himself, shaking his head lightly. “Would they have laughed at me if I had shared this with them? A commoner trying to compete with the top prodigy of Thunderpeak Royal Academy?”

“Especially since I haven’t even formed my affinity yet. They would’ve laughed it off most likely. Everyone already thinks Orion is invincible at his level, a peerless talent who can’t possibly be rivaled by anyone.”

His fists tightened briefly, a fierce resolve burning brightly in his gaze. “Yet precisely because Orion is so powerful—precisely because he excels so effortlessly—I have to compete. If I accept his strength blindly, then how will I ever surpass my own limits? What’s the point of being a genius if I never push myself to surpass others?”

His heart raced slightly, thoughts swirling furiously in his mind as he voiced these deeply held ambitions that he didn’t want to share with others simply due to his own misconception.

Elias knew clearly how invaluable Orion was as a friend and ally—but his pride as a genius cultivator demanded that he measure himself against the strongest.

He wanted—no, he needed—to see exactly how far he could push his Advanced Gravity Element, especially against a prodigy like Orion.

Taking another deep, calming breath, Elias’s expression gradually steadied into solemn determination.

He reached slowly into his spatial storage, carefully retrieving a meticulously bound set of runic inscriptions—the culmination of countless hours of tireless study and intense practice.

“It’s finally time,” Elias whispered softly to himself, carefully opening the book and tracing his fingers softly across the delicate symbols inscribed within.

Over the past several days, he had painstakingly mastered each of the necessary Primary Runes required for Affinity Rune formation. Now, he stood confidently prepared to solidify his Gravity Affinity Rune.

As Elias closed his eyes and focused deeply, each rune began to appear vividly within his Sea of Consciousness. Seven Primary Runes shimmered softly, one after another, each resonating profoundly with his innate understanding of gravity’s profound mysteries—his Origin Glyph.
