Magus Supremacy

*Seven days later*

It was finally a week after the terrible battle between the elves and beasts that suddenly invaded the town for one reason or the other. And in these past few days, the town was recovering nicely as razed down houses were built back rapidly with the help of everybody including Licht and his family.

Grey didn't want to help in the first place but was threatened by Charla so he helped in any way he could by using his wind magic to chop down wood that would be used in rebuilding, using his wind magic to lift heavy bricks and Earth used in rebuilding.

He helped using his magic and therefore the elves appreciated him and whenever he helped, they always came with food trying to feed him. Initially he would refuse, but after some time and constant pestering, he accepted and his relationship with the people grew more.

In his spare time, he would play with the kids while at the same time training them in using their different magic and hence Grey who was also known as 'uncle demon' by the kids due to Eclat always calling him a demon became popular and he actually enjoyed his time in the town.

The reason for this was that there was no differentiation among the people except the one he saw among Elara's siblings. But in the town, it was different as everybody took care of another. Whether you were rich or poor, talented or talentless, everybody was treated as an equal unlike the human world.

And this was the type of world he wanted so to leave became quite difficult but he had to leave eventually considering his family would be worried since he had been missing for two weeks now.

And he finally decided that today was the day he would be leaving back as he informed Licht about his previous decision. Although Licht had grown fond of him, he decided to agree with his decision as the day finally arrived for him to leave.

And surprisingly or unsurprisingly, the town came bearing gifts of different kind. Foods, clothes, fruits and so on as they used it to show their appreciation which Grey gladly accepted as he was seen in front of the palace with Charla, Licht, old man Jankis, Eclat and her mother in front of him after the town people had gone back to their daily jobs.

"Are you sure you would be able to carry all that?" Licht asked as he saw the dozen baskets full of different things in front of Grey.

"The elves have all kindly given me all these, I would be able to handle it. Besides, it won't really be a problem." Grey said as he swirled his hands and a soft breeze lifted the baskets before setting it back down.

"Well if you say so." Licht shrugged.

"Human wimp, make sure you visit once a while huh." Charla said and Grey smiled.

"Are you missing me already?" He chuckled when he suddenly felt his neck grabbed by something thin and he was dragged towards Charla who had a frown on her face.

"What did you say?" She asked.

"Nothing ma'am!" Grey quickly replied when he saw a soft smile on her face before setting him back down.

"Yeah! I think I will miss you a little." She said and Grey almost choked on the air.

'She just said she would miss me? Haha! Wow!' he thought.

"Take care of yourself champ!" Jankis said as he walked forward and placed a hand on his shoulders.

"I will. And thank you for teaching me the other time by nearly killing me with your wind attack." Grey said.

"Ah yes that!" Jankis said as he scratched his head and flashed back to when Grey had been struggling to revive the dead trees and in order to help him, he released swift wind blades towards him which he avoided easily but it still caused a cut on his arm dripping blood.

"Uncle demon! I… I will really miss you!" Eclat said as tears began streaming down her face while she wiped it but it kept coming.

"I will miss you too little Eclat! And don't forget to keep practising your magic okay? If I ever find out you miss a single day practising or you are slacking off, I will come back and whip you into shape." Grey said with a smile when he saw Eclat wipe her face clean and smiled widely.

"I won't slack off, I will keep on practising and make sure I become the most powerful elf and then I will come to the human world to see you again!" Eclat declared.

"That's my girl." Grey said ruffling her hair when her mother stepped forward.

"Thank you Grey for saving Eclat and me that day. I will never forget your kindness ever." She said and Grey smiled back at her.

"Alright I think that is enough! You are already making everyone emotional." Licht said as he wiped a tear from his eyes quickly before anybody could notice.

"Alright then, I will be taking my leave." Grey said as he prepared to take off when a loud shout interrupted him.

"Hang on!" Everyone turned around to where the voice was coming from when they saw a beautiful female elf with green leaves surrounding her golden long hair like a crown of sorts while running forward and stopped in front of Grey panting hard.

"Elara?!" Licht said.

"Please! Take me along with you." Elara said through ragged breath.

"What?!" Charla said as she stepped forward. "What are you saying? You want to go to the human world with him? Why?"

"Mum! I know I didn't inform anyone of my decision early enough but I need to go with him." She replied.

"And why is that?" Grey asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Remember what you said to me in the forest that day? I need to grow strong, strong enough to shut the mouth of my bullies up and that's why I intend to come with you." Elara replied as she clenched her hands in frustration. "I could remember the day the beasts struck, I was powerless, weak and unable to provide any tangible help and I… I… I don't want to ever feel helpless ever again!" She shouted.

"So how is going with him going to do it? You can train here." Licht said.

"I have been training here for so long but it is all in vain. I get mocked everyday by Langris and the rest. Despite being your daughter, I'm unable to show it with my powers so it is of no use. But if I go with him, change my environment, it might just do the trick. So please let me go with him." Elara pleaded and Licht sighed while Charla scoffed.

"Fine! You can go if Grey is okay with it." Licht said.

Hearing that, Elara turned towards Grey with teary eyes when she heard him sigh too.

"I understand your plight since I have been there too. So I won't stop you, you can tag along." Grey replied and Elara smiled widely.

"Thank you." She said.

"Alright! I guess that is taken care of, let us head back." Grey said as wind surrounded the baskets and lifted them upon along with Elara and he was also seen hovering above the ground.

'This town, I had come here by accident due to curiosity of what was at the volcano but who knew that i would forge bonds with another race and grow stronger. This place, it feels like a second home to me and I really don't want to leave but I have to. And I hope I will come back soon as aside from my mum, no one has ever made me feel loved and I just did here.' he thought with a smile on his face when he looked at the people below him.

"Bye everyone!" He said and they shot forward at immense speed blowing a gust of wind hitting the others that were waving.
