Elias, still admiring the ring especially the rune craftsmanship as he walked to the elevator. He then released some mana into the ring and the image of its contents was directly transmitted to his mind.At the center of the space a core, illuminating it's surrounding with a faint blue light,its size was that of a football.
As he looked at it he still kept wondering in his mind if it was possible to actually accomplish his second task,he even considered going to Aedric but he suspected he would also be busy and he didn't want to burden him, so who could he ask for help.
Elias thought as he finally reached the elevator but the doors opened and standing on the other side was Gravon wearing a simple tracksuit which seemed a bit baggy with his slim frame but still fit him well but the Ember battalion crest which seemed like a roman soldier with his shield infront and the spear placed on top. Seeing Elias Gravon smiled as he stepped out giving a small punch on his arm "just the person I was looking for,the uniform suits you well ."
"Heard you started your training so wanted to drop by to see how it was going,but looks like I was too late." Gravon said as he took notice of the dirt and dried up sweat on Elias uniform. Elias just answered with a nod as he gave a rough smile but noticing this Gravon laughed as he nodded "that's the kind of expression I expect considering it's Major Helena", Elias shocked that he already knew his new master couldn't help but ask "how did you know".
"Well i saw her on my way here so I just put one and two together and that expression on your face was the exact same one Gil had after his first class with her." Hearing the name Elias remembered Aedric saying something about her other student,but he knew nothing about this person "who's her other student ?", hearing this Gravon realised that Elias had no idea who he was talking about "come let's go find a seat first", Gravon said as he and Elias found the nearest bench before Gravon began.
"He is one of the strongest heritage holders and was the youngest one too,it was about 22 years ago he was just a normal orphan at an orphanage under the ISA but things changed when he turned ten, he started having dreams about some kind of heritage which we ignored at first I mean, kids dream but it kept happening frequently so after deliberating we took him in."
"Exactly six months after that he awakened,we were trying to teach him the basics of cultivation and a little about heritage holders as we didn't know what kind of heritage he had or even if he even had one at this point, but all of a sudden his eyes turned golden, his hair turned golden and the aura he released was so strong that for a brief moment, everyone in Solarium felt it. Some fainted on the spot, but before it could cause any real damage the Admirals appeared and restrained the aura until the awakening process was completed.
"He became the heritage holder of sovereignty, the third to ever be but after his awakening his character changed, he became extremely proud and battle hungry, this was apparently what happens from the record we have of the two before him but he became a real pain to deal with and his cultivation speed was nothing short of utter madness, he reached Inferno another 6 months later an eleven year old Inferno, something like that shouldn't have been possible as his body shouldn't have been able to handle that much power at that age but somehow it did making the rest our S-rank spark look like a bad joke.
But he stopped cultivating after that, he said it had to do with his heritage test but he didn't give much information about that,he just spent years focused on improving his physical strength alone after that and he became strong enough to take trade blows with Darin but he didn't stop there.
He began clearing dimensional rifts like a mad man,he initially didn't even care about divisions until he learnt that the Radiant knights where the ones who were usually sent to other planets to deal with dimensional rifts and that's how he came to join the Radiant knights and applied to be sent on off world missions regularly. At the age of 19 he cleared more dimensional rifts that most high ranking officials and even his master at that point, he cleared a total of 5687 at 19 and a good number of those where solo clears.
He became the golden boy of the ISA,with his reputation reaching the far ends of the galaxy and his name resounding continuously, Gilgamesh the sovereign .
Hearing all this Elias had only one thought,had Aedric set him up?,this was the person he said i could rival?,he hadn't even cleared one dimensional rifts and he was supposed to rival someone like that. Elias thought as began to feel depressed, Gravon seeing this just patted his back trying to cheer him up "don't feel bad about this Elias, it just means you and I have to work twice as hard to not fall behind, don't let it drag you back but rather push you foward."
Elias felt a lot better after giving it a little thought, Gravon was right and with that renewed spirit a new fire burned within him, a fire that wanted to get stronger,"Gravon do you mind helping me out with something ", Elias said with a resolved face which Gravon responded to with a soft smile "it would be my pleasure let's head to the heritage holder's arena ", Gravon said as he and Elias stood up and walked towards the elevator.
