Ery walked out of the Darkness Institute, and as he reached the area right below the cliff, he could see the main palace of the building where Grand Magus Zenonia was supposedly residing.
Finding out that the female grand magus turned out to have the sa space and gravity proficiency certainly gave Ery a reason to make his way up there and speak with her. In addition to that, he might also be able to find news regarding his master and Annara as well.
However, the dragon half-blood magus stopped him. "Stop worrying about other people. Instead of that, I suggest you focus on the Magus Tournant."
Hearing such words, Ery was a bit surprised by Magus Shena's reaction. After all, the female magus rarely concerned nor involved herself in his matters. However, this ti she seed to be quite invested in the idea of him winning the tournant.
Noticing Ery's reaction, the magus quickly spoke.
"It's been more than a hundred years since any of the half-bloods had a chance to beco champion of the Magus Tournant, but now we have two. Don't you realize how much this ans to Zodiac City? To all half-bloods?"
Ery couldn't hold himself from heaving a sigh when he learned there was such a heavy expectation placed upon him. Nevertheless, since he also wanted to achieve such an outco for himself and his friends, he eventually accepted and held onto those expectations readily.
"I understand, Senior. I will definitely try my best."
In order to make the most of the remaining ti, Ery decided not to go to the Grand Hall to watch the second day's match. Even though he really wanted to see how his friends fare, he trusted that they would try their best to qualify for the second round.
As they walked towards the teleportation gate, Ery told Magus Shena about what he had heard from Magus Cassian. The two of them went into a discussion, talking about the many ideas he thought of to quickly master the gravity spells.
However, despite her formidable strength and abundant experience, unfortunately, there was not much Magus Shena could help in this matter. Moreover, none of the magus within the Zodiac City was proficient enough in gravity or space to help Ery with his difficulty.
"I have this idea, Senior…"
In the end, Ery told Magus Shena about what he had thought of, and after hearing the gist of it, the reaction he received from the latter was quite positive. The magus seed to find his idea plausible, so instead of returning back to Terra Castle as they had planned, the two of them decided to go to the Hyperion planet.
Stepping foot onto the Hyperion center, Ery was once again welcod by the sight of Magus Ramora. She quickly approached him, showing the attitude that she was ready to help all his needs.
"Welco back to Hyperion, Is there anything I can do for you today?" the magus said with a smile.
Facing the magus' enthusiasm, Ery politely declined the offer because he already had other plans – a specific place he wanted to visit in his mind. However, his steps were halted as he saw the sight of many acolytes and magus gathered in the main lobby of the hub.
He could see that their attention was on the big screen showing the events of the second day of the Magus Tournant that had begun.
Ery was tempted to stay and watch, especially when he saw soone he knew pop up on the screen.
With his slick hair and trademark outfit, Gerri the Violet Fla stepped onto his designated arena. His opponent was apparently a rather well-known acolyte who had lightning elent affinity. The battle between the two of them was spectacular as sparks of lightning and fire clashed violently in the arena.
A few monts later, Ery woke up from his trance and shook his head. "No, I have to start training." He said to himself as he turned around and walked away from the crowd.
As he walked out of the Hyperion center, he took out his orbiter and mounted it, toward the destination he had in mind. Following right behind him was his loyal escort Magus Shena.
The place Ery planned to visit at the mont was where he had gone for training in the past; the huge asteroid that orbited the Hyperion planet – the Zero Abyss Rock.
As he continued to soar high into the sky in the direction towards the Hyperion planet's atmosphere, Ery could sense how the gravitational pressure the planet exerted on him changed.
The further up he went, the lighter the pressure affecting his body beca. But then, as he approached the black rock, Ery could sense two other gravitational pressures. When he tried to figure out their origins, he discovered that one ca from the rock itself while the other ca from beyond – the space itself.
Ery had never sensed this anomaly in the past when he trained here, so now that he had felt it , he couldn't help but feel excited. A smile appeared on his face as he looked at the black rock.
"Looks like I've co to the right place."
Magus Shena decided to stay on the above surface while Ery made his way inside, entering deep within the rock to find a place before once again resuming his training.
As he stayed deep in the core of the asteroid, Ery gave his all to grasp the wonders of space and gravity around him – the exact thing that kept the massive rock afloat on the Hyperion planet's orbit.
Slowly but surely, the understanding Ery had comprehended affected his dark core, and at the sa ti, the last bit of spirit energy mist around his cores were refined. The two worked in harmony and helped boost his spirit force once again.

Imrsed in such a deep process of comprehension, Ery didn't even notice when he had lost track of ti. He only vaguely sensed that another day had passed, and thanks to that he was troubled as his mind thought of the tournant.
He wondered if his friends made it through to the second round or Have Julian finally recovered from his affliction. He wanted to know all these things, but he had no way of knowing at the mont.
The only way he could know was to quickly master his comprehension of gravity and return to the academy. So he planned to do just that.
There were only two days left before his match finally started.
