Journey Of A Legend

"Damn... Now I'm in trouble..."

Seeing the orb's broken pieces, only silence could be heard in the hall.

Greg looked up slowly, only to see his teacher's frozen expression. In an instant, he put together his two hands and started to apologize.

"I'm really, really sorry! I don't know what happened, but I promise I will pay off the orbs price! I promise!"

Watching as Greg was apologizing, the teacher sighed and said, "Do you even know how much this object costs? Millions, if not tens of millions. But don't worry, it's not your fault. You only did what you had to. You won't be held responsible for this."

Hearing this, Greg sighed in relief, however, William on the side opposed the idea.

"Sir! This isn't right! He broke an artifact, which costs millions and he won't be held responsible? And what is more, he definitely used some kind of trick, just to escape the reality, that his Guardian's potential is zero! If not, then how did he break something like an orb made out of dimensional core fragments?"

The teacher looked at William and with an indifferent expression, he said, "William, before you accuse someone, you need to bring up evidence. Do you have any to make you so confident to say something like that?"

Hearing this, William took back the words he wanted to say next and remained silent.

Seeing as William couldn't say a word, the teacher continued, "What you just said is right. If he used any means of cheating or some kind of trick to make the orb broke, then he should be punished without a second thought. However, he didn't. And what makes me say that?", as he said this, he pointed to his eyes.

"Maybe it's not obvious, but my Guardian's ability is to enhance my sight. And one of its abilities is to detect any kind of taboo or prohibited power. This includes powers that are not the Guardian's abilities."

William clenched his teeth in anger and looked at Greg like he was looking at a piece of trash.

"Well then, as we finished the final test, seven days from today the point gathering fights will start. Until then, you can go home and rest or do whatever you want. However, don't forget. If you can't get 50 points till the end of the year, you are out from school."

When the teacher finished his talk, everyone turned around and walked away, but while they did so, they looked at Greg with doubtful eyes one last time.

However not Joe. He walked to Greg and said, "I know you. You would never use any kind of tricks or something that would put you in a tough situation, so this is why I believe you."

Greg looked at Joe's truthful expression and with a sigh, he said, "Thanks."

"Would you like to come with me and my family to a dimensional zone?", asked Joe unexpectedly.

"Huh? I can? But your famil-"

"Don't worry about them, you can rest in peace, that nothing will happen. I already told them you will come."

Seeing that Greg was hesitant, Joe said, "My family has great people that will protect us. You only need to focus on the fight and nothing else."

Greg nodded and asked, "When will it be and where?"

"3 days from today and the place is close to the city. But I will come and take you there, so just go home and wait for me to come."

"Okay, then see you. And thanks also."

"No problem at all."

After saying bye to each other, the two separated ways. A while later, two figures appeared from the shadows and started to go where Joe went.

[At Greg's home]

As he closed the door, Greg sat down into a chair and summoned Alice.

The little rabbit appeared before him, looking at Greg with her small eyes.

"Okay, Alice. It's time to show what this thing about the 6 elements is." As he said this, Greg stood up and brought a paper, a bottle of water, and other stuff, which could help him in his observation.

He put them down next to each other and said, "Okay, let's see what you can do little girl."

Alice jumped toward the paper and after sniffing it, she jumped toward the bottle of water and started to drink.

Seeing this, Greg took away the water and said to Alice, "No, don't start to drink. Just use your power please."

Alice looked at Greg, then at the water. A while later she turned into the blue turtle and walked toward the bottle. Arriving before it she put her tongue out and licked the glass gently.

"I just said a moment ag-", but before he could finish his sentence, his jaw dropped to the floor.

The bottle of water and the whole table started to freeze at a rapid pace. Greg jumped up from his seat in an instant because the ice started to spread towards him also.

Watching as the ice didn't want to stop, Greg started to shout, "Okay, Alice! Thanks, that was perfect, but now you can stop!"

Hearing Greg's voice, Alice turned into a red little fox and a knock with her paw on the table, the ice started to melt away slowly.

Watching the scenes unfold before him, Greg couldn't say a word for a long time.

After coming back to his senses, he took another bottle of water and put his finger in the water.

"Let's see. Owners can use their Guardian's powers. So I should be able to use that freezing ability.", thought Greg and started to concentrate on the water.

But no matter how hard he concentrated, the water didn't even start to freeze.

Greg looked at Alice and asked, "Can't you lend me your power?"

He didn't want a response and just asked it casually, but unexpectedly, Alice started to shook her head.

"What? That doesn't make any sense at all!"

Seeing as Greg was a bit angry, Alice's paws got on fire and started to write on the wooden table.

Greg, who saw this scene was a bit confused and thought, "She is not only strange but has a really high IQ even that she is an animal."

When Alice finished, she looked at Greg. Greg saw the strange, but readable writing and started to read.

"You are not ready... What the hell? What does that even mean?", asked Greg and looked at Alice.

However, Alice didn't react this time. She only turned back into the rabbit form and started to jump here and there.

Seeing this Greg just sighed and said, "Okay, nevermind. Then just show me your powers... please."

Hearing the request from Greg, Alice jumped before him.

"Okay let's start with your rabbit form. What element can it use?", asked Greg.

Alice started to jump all around the table, but every time she jumped, she got a bit faster and faster and her fur started to shine brighter and brighter.

In the end, she was so fast that Greg couldn't catch her figure, only seeing shiny afterimages all over the place.

"So cool! It seems it's the light element. It can't be lightning, because I don't see any lightning or wind. After all, she would not shine like this then. Okay, let's see the bird form now."

Alice stopped her jumping and turned into a blackbird.

In an instant, she flew to Greg's shadow and disappeared in it. A few seconds later she appeared out of it and flew back to Greg.

"Darkness element. Amazing!"

The next one was the yellow snake. It's ability was the same as the rabbit's, but without any light and it was much quieter like she wasn't even there.

"It seems this is the wind element. The fox has the fire, the turtle the water, the rabbit the light, and the birdie has the darkness. Then the last one should be earth and that's the lizard, yes?"

Alice didn't wait for Greg to ask her, so she immediately turned into the green lizard and jumped down to the floor.

Greg watched as Alice raised her small little leg and put it down slowly.

Seeing as nothing happened, Greg wanted to laugh, but in the next second the whole house started to shake.

"Damn, a small earthquake only from putting her leg down. What will happen, when she grows bigger?"

After a few seconds later, when everything turned back to normal did Greg sigh in relief.

Alice turned back to the little rabbit form and looked at Greg.

Greg leaned down and picked her up and he said, "You are a little strange Guardian, but I really like you!"

Greg petted Alice, but after looking around his body stiffened.

It was because pieces of stuff like pictures, clothes, and broken plates were all around the room, making the whole place messy.

He looked down at Alice, who watched the same thing as him. A while later she looked up at Greg and with a light, she disappeared shamelessly into the Soul Stone...
