Chapter 115: Spatial Storage

‘Hey! Why did you use the flame to refine your body? I’m almost certain only a Magical beast will do that’, Void asked Grey who was walking to get his last pair of clothes from his bag.

“Oh, that? Well… It’s kinda weird, but I like training my body, so on seeing this chance I decided to further improve the strength of my body”, Grey hesitated before replying.

He couldn’t just tell Void about the pearl and his ability to fuse elements or gain comprehension of other elements. Even though there was a connection between him and Void, he would not trust him recklessly.

What if Void left him after they left this place? Wouldn’t that mean his secret would be exposed?

‘I can’t tell him about it, for now, I didn’t even dare to tell Klaus or Teacher yet. There’s no way I’ll divulge my secret to him so easily’, Grey thought seriously.

Only his parents knew about this, well, so he thought for now. And according to what the Senior told him, he should keep it a secret, until he was strong enough to protect himself from the greedy eyes of others.

There were a lot of people that wouldn’t hesitate to kill him because of it. This, he is well aware of.

‘Well, you’re one weird human’, Void looked at him weirdly.

Grey shrugged before putting on his clothes, there was no need for him to explain further. After putting on his clothes, he suddenly remembered something.

“Where did you store the lotus?”, he asked while staring at Void.

‘I have a spatial storage in my body where I keep things’, replied Void.

“Spatial storage? What’s that?”, Grey couldn’t help but ask.

He looked at Void in surprise, it hadn’t even been up to three hours since he ‘hatched’, yet he knew so much.

‘Don’t tell me you don’t know that as well?’, asked the stunned Void.

‘How the hell does he not know even about spatial storage when he has one?!’, thought the flabbergasted Void.

Although he didn’t know how it was made, he was able to clearly feel the space element in the ring Grey had.

Grey stared at him blankly.

“If I do, do you think I’ll waste my time in asking?”, Grey asked with a tinge of annoyance.

It wasn’t like he knew what Void was talking about. He knew what a storage was, and from the word spatial, he could deduce it was related to the space element, but he couldn’t use just that and start assuming things. As long as he isn’t a hundred percent sure about it, he would definitely ask. Other than his strength, he also enjoyed improving his knowledge, so these foreign words always pique his interest.

‘It’s like a separate space where you store things. Watch this’, Void decided it was best to demonstrate it to him on seeing that Grey still wore a weird expression on his face.

Grey looked at him seriously like a student taking lectures. One of the few things he enjoyed was actually learning, when it got to new and mysterious things, he wanted to know the why and how it was possible.

Void walked to where Grey’s blade was on the ground and touched it.

The next scene made Grey stare wide-eyed. Yes, he had seen Void ‘store’ the lotus previously, but seeing it again was still intriguing.

After Void touched the blade, it disappeared into thin air.

“Wait! Is this an ability for Space Elementalists alone? Or can others use it?”, Grey inquired.

This was quite a fascinating ability, storing things in a separate space without others seeing where you stored them. This means, if he were to acquire a treasure, he wouldn’t need to be scared of others seeing it, also, if the space was large, then he could even keep the entire body of some of those rare beasts he had killed here.

‘Naturally, it should be an ability for only Space Elementalists, but it seems like there are storage items which others could use as well’, replied Void with some uncertainty.

He was just born, so there is no way he would know about everything, other than things related to him, he knew nothing else.

“There are storage items others can use?”, Grey’s eyes lit up when he heard this.

How amazing would it be if he had one? He wouldn’t need to bother about his bag anymore. It was quite tiresome to carry it sometimes, although it was light, he had to ensure he was always careful with it, especially when fighting. Because of the fear of his items being stolen, he always keeps his bag close to him at all times. But if he had such storage items, he wouldn’t be bothered about that anymore.

Void nodded.

‘It looks like he has no idea there is one with him’, he thought internally.

Grey calmed himself, he was excited about the prospect of obtaining such items, but thinking more about it, he knew the chances of getting one was low. He didn’t even know about the space element previously, so how would he know if those items existed?

“How did you know there were spatial storage items others can use?”, asked Grey.

From the first reply he got from Void when he asked about it, he was able to sense the slight uncertainty in his voice, so he knew Void wasn’t a hundred percent sure about it.

‘Because I’ve seen one’, Void answered casually.

“What! Where?”, Grey exclaimed in excitement.

From Void’s tone and expression, he was sure he wasn’t lying to him.

‘That ring on your bag’, Void pointed his paw at Grey’s bag.

“What ring?”, asked the stunned Grey.

Because it had been quite a while he collected the ring, and after he studied it and didn’t find anything about it, he had forgotten he even had it in the first place.

Void looked at Grey speechless.

‘Do I really have to show him everything?’, he asked internally.

If a stranger overhears their conversations, they would think Grey was the newborn while he was the one who had been in the world for long.

Seeing the look on Void’s face, Grey knew how foolish his question was. The bag is right there with him, all he had to do was search for it.

It didn’t take long for him to spot the ring in his bag. The bag wasn’t as occupied as it used to be due to Void eating more than half of what was inside.

‘It’s the ring! I knew it was special. But, what can fit into this small ring?’, he asked himself.

He recognized the ring the moment he laid his eyes on it, it was the ring he got from one of those boxes at the palace he entered with his friends.

‘That’s it’, Void said after Grey took out the ring.

“I acquired it by chance, to think it was a spatial storage item. But given its size, can it store a large object?”, Grey asked doubtfully.

‘I don’t really know, it all depends on the space created in it. I also think the quality of the material can affect the size of its space’, Void answered truthfully.

Grey nodded before once again studying it. Even after some time passed, he still couldn’t figure out how to use it.

“Do you know how to use it?”, he decided to ask Void for help.

But Void shook his head, he was just as clueless on how they can access it as he was. Although he had a spatial storage in him, it was something he was born with, he didn’t learn how to use it, he just knew how to.

Both man and cat started studying it carefully, and after making multiple deductions, Grey was finally able to access the ring.

And he was stunned by the size of its space. But after the initial shock, a surge of excitement enveloped him.

“Haha, this is great”, he laughed gleefully.
