Chapter 64: Evolution Energy.

"So essentially, refining this evolution energy inside of us will help us grow stronger?" Violet asked.

The plates which had residue of the soup they had eaten could be seen floating up into the sky ahead of her. The sponge filled with dish-washing liquid proceeded to scrub the plates whilst she did the dishes.

"Then I guess I'll start training." Said Violet.

Sweat could be seen pouring down Gray's body as he sat with his legs crossed in his room, beside him was Kylo imitating him. Lita could be seen watching them from the sides.

Wind began gathering around Kylo while a small spherical field just big enough to fit in Gray was deployed around him.

[Wind Manipulation]

[Chronos Field.]

Gray was currently training how long he could last with the field deployed while focusing on the evolution energy inside of him whilst Kylo practised his wind control as he also got a feel for the energy.

*Tick* *Tock*

The clock's ticks grew louder as Gray slowly descended into an ocean of silence.

*Tick*

Following the tick, everything became quiet and went dark.

Gray slowly opened his eyes only to find himself levitating in pitch-black darkness. His body's figure was radiating a white aura. Blue lines which seemed to represent some of his blood vessels could be seen flowing throughout his body.

They passed by his arms, legs before all connecting at a single point inside of his chest. Gray couldn't tell whether or not it was in his heart, but he could see a colourless core.

'So this is the energy which empowers my abilities... I can see it flowing through me." He muttered

[Affirmative, this is your evolution energy.]

"System, will somehow refining this flow truly make me stronger?" Gray doubted.

'How does one even refine this flow?' He wondered

[Due to a lack of information, unable to answer this question.]

'Is that so...'

[However, based on current information, body temperament as daily quests requests along with the manual use of the ability is the best and fastest way to progressing.]

A smile grew on Gray's face.

"You're right. There's no use overthinking it. Right now I should start by getting onto what matters the most as of this moment." He spoke before suddenly opening his eyes.

A strong gust of wind was emitted from Kylo, almost blowing Lita away as Gray awoken. Gray who had been paused, hadn't moved a muscle.

"Brother...! Too strong...!" Yelled out Lita.

Kylo who heard this, suddenly opened his eyes. Heavy puffs were released from him as he found himself covered in sweat.

"So that's the flow..." He muttered.

"Did you see it?" Gray asked.

"Ah? Yes..." Kylo Replied, surprised to see that Gray had also just awoken.

"Were you able to figure out how to refine it?" He added.

Kylo shook his head in denial. "After seeing the flow, I feel like I've gained a deeper understanding over my ability... We're far from the end result, but we're making progress..." Muttered Kylo.

Gray's eyes widened as he heard this, he turned his head up to the ceiling before letting out a chuckle. "How old are you?" He asked.

"I turned eight a few months ago." Kylo replied. "Why?"

"Kylo... You... You're kind of smart-"

"Damn right he is, my brother is the smartest guy I know." Said Lita with a proud smile.

"That's right!" Added Lara, peeking into the room with a passionate look.

Kylo who saw this, covered his face in embarrassment. "Mum..." He muttered.

Lara who had realised that she had just interrupted quickly apologised. Just as she was about to sneak back out however, she caught a glance of Gray's defined body and let out a "Oh my~" whilst she stared.

Realising what she was doing, flustered, she quickly backed back away from the door with a nervous smile before saying. "I'm going to bed, Kylo and Lita, let me know when you want to sleep okay? Goodnight Gray."

"Okay~" They both replied.

"Goodnight." Said Gray..

Kylo faced palmed himself as she disappeared.

Gray had forgotten it but Lara was actually their mother. She just looked so young and had such a childish aura to her at times that he hadn't really noticed.

"Hey, Kylo, If you're eight, how old is your mother?" Gray asked.

A nervous look could be seen on Kylo's face as he turned to Gray. "Why do you ask? Aurora and Violet aren't enough, you want my mother too?" He asked, filled with fear.

Gray who heard this couldn't help but let out an akward giggle. "Mind voicing your thoughts a little quieter next time? Is that what you think of me?" Gray asked.

Kylo looked him right in the eye before hastily nodding.

"What? Gray is after mother? Mn... I like Gray but... Mother is off limits!" Said Lita as she put her arms together in a cross.

At that instant, Gray appeared ahead of her before grabbing her cheeks and pinching them lightly.

[Pause Step]

"Stop playing around before she gets the wrong idea." He said with a cold smile.

"Y-Yes...!" The two simultaneously replied

"Twenty six..." Kylo uttered

Gray sighed. 'I'll let him off for now... More importantly... 26, meaning she had him when she was 18. That must've been hard... Well she raised two splendid kids so it's all good. I wonder how they even got separated in the first place?'

Gray had a few questions to ask, but he put them aside for now, he had one question he had been dying to ask Lita since he first heard about their abilities.

There was so much going on that he had put it off, but it was now or never.

"Lita... D-Do you think you could use your powers to find my sister?" Gray asked, whilst looking her straight in her light blue eyes.

His heart was pounding from anticipation. He had finally asked it. A question which he never thought he'd be hearing coming out of his mouth, slipped out just like that.

Lita who heard his question, cocked her head to the side before closing her eyes. Her brows frowned as she seemed to be in deep thought.

Whilst he waited for the answer, even more sweat could be seen flowing down his forehead on his already drenched body.

"Mn. I can." She replied with a nod.
