When Halted, both were standing outside the training room.
They had their weapon and Qi manipulation classes here.
But the arrangent has changed, there were mannequins, hardcore synthetic traps to train.
They could notice all the students practising diligently. So of them were sparing with each other while others were training their elents on pseudo targets.
It was a fascinating scene, seeing sparkling colours of different elents being used at the sa ti.
There were basic but most known elents like water, fire, earth, ice, and wood and also, at the sa ti, so rare but with less knowledge like magnetic, sand, gravity, mist and such.
After coming to the academy, it was the first ti when all the students seed in a hurry, Harry was sure all the teachers must be on high horse.
Seeing all these elents used at once, a question popped into his mind, why so of the elents are elents while others work as a skill or ability; for example so have the power to attract or repel tal, which then nad as magnetic elent
Telekinesis, mind reading, all these things don't make sense. Especially mind reading—It can't be an elent.
One thing that he could think of was his skills related to the elent.
While pondering, Harry noticed a person he had t before; it was none other than Eldrich. He still rembers that blackout.
Eldrich was throwing water slashes and different water attacks towards dummies. His attack seed more lethal than they had been, more ruthless than he had ever seen.
'Has he improved so much or was he just playing with him last ti?' A thought struck Harry.
Don't know why, but Harry felt the urge to ask him about what was going on.
Gracie followed him closely.
Eldrich just made a new attack, making a water sphere, and inside it, water slashes reflecting infinitely.
It seed a combination of water and manoeuvring it in a way that water was working as a mirror reflecting the slashes.
Eldrich seed exhausted from using the attack so he turned around to sit on the table.
But as he turned he noticed soone familiar approaching him. He felt an uneven feeling growing inside him.
He rembered their fight, without reaching an elental master. This person had given him a decent fight, although he never felt he would ever lose to this person at that ti, but now he heard that he was an elental master.
As Harry took one step ahead, Eldrich took one step back assuming he was here to seek revenge.
It continued until Eldrich was leaning against the wall intimating.
Eldrich wasn't afraid to fight this person, it's just there were so many evil things going around Harry that any sensible person would like to avoid him. He is a Soul cultivator, who is way better in raw strength and who can use Qi also.
"What was your na? Ahh.. yes, it was Eldrich. Can you tell why all of them are practising so hard?" Harry asked in a simple, indifferent voice.
He had no qualms against this person, although Eldrich has done wrong with him but that had pushed him to beco stronger.
He didn't want to imply any other thing, but the way he stated Eldrich's na was sowhat annoying; surprisingly, he didn't get any sudden reaction from Eldrich.
Harry was also grateful to Eldrich that he didn't hurt his friends and let them go after his loss.
He could clearly imagine so young master who would have done just the opposite.
Compared to them Eldrich can be called an angel.
Eldrich, baffled by the question, had a contorted look.
"It wa...was.. because of a new announcent about the inner disciple exam," Eldrich said while trying to look confident and he secured to do it, no hesitation in his words.
But his posture was nowhere close to confidant but it didn't stop Eldrich from keeping his eye contact straight and showcasing his confidence. He has already dealt with so many people and he knew how to never be on the losing end.
"What exam?" Harry asked curiously.
"Haha, it was in the morning when the academy announced that the inner branch exam would be held after this month.
Usually, it happens every 3 years, but it only has been 2 years since the last exam; no one knows the exact reason for this hastiness." Eldrich said now in a more comfortable position.
"Did you hear any announcent in the morning"
Harry asked Gracie with a confused look.
"I have no idea", Gracie said, shrugging her shoulders.
"It was broadcasted everywhere in the academy, only those who were cultivating or were inside their room didn't hear it.
"Ohh.. so that's the case" Harry mumbled.
He was struggling in a room, hanging between life and death; how could he know?
Then his mind drifted to the information; the inner branch exam happens every 3 years. Then what's different this ti? Is it because of Dakis or so power gas? He didn't consider thinking about these mind-boggling things; he was more curious about the exam itself.
"What about previous exams? Do you know anything about it, and what level is sure to be selected," Harry asked Hoping to get any information.
It wasn't appropriate to just go and bulldoze the person with so many questions, but Eldrich was giving him the vibe of an easygoing person.
"These exams always take place in private arrangents, so there was not much information available, but normally, people on elental master level 5 are sure to get accepted as disciples.
But considering there was not much ti to prepare this ti, it should be easier to pass," Eldrich said, lost in deep thoughts.
"But unlike last ti, they strictly said that everyone needs to participate, while in previous exams, it was not necessary.
"Alright, thank you for the help" Harry greeted and left.
Eldrich was happy and also impressed by Harry's personality. "At least he was not full of ego just after becoming an elental master", Eldrich mumbled.
He has seen so many students seeking to fight just after getting a taste of power, but they often forget that whom you are targeting has also tasted the fruit and for a much longer duration.

"What happened," Gracie asked, seeing Harry pondering.
They returned to their sparring room.
"Ahh... I was thinking of ways to increase our power" Harry jolted out of his thoughts and said.
"hmm.. you are right we can't increase cultivation much in a short ti, but increasing our battle efficiency and taking practical experience can help us." Gracie proposed the idea.
Harry would have loved to improve his cultivation in the tower but he couldn't.
Just improving his cultivation won't help him without practical knowledge, the essence of fight, there could be many variables in battle.
"If just there would have been a VR ga to improve our battle mastery", Harry murmured.
"What.? VR, What is it?" Gracie asked, hearing unusual words.
"Never mind".
