The next day after Grey had been shown his room, he was seen sitting with his legs crossed, eyes closed and mumbling some words as he breathed in and out while moving his around trying to get the feel of this place's mana.

'Almost there… almost, I'm almost there.' he thought as he kept concentrating hard when.

*Knock knock* a loud knock rang out in front of his door.

"Darn it!" He shouted in frustration as his eyes shot wide open and in anger, he stomped towards the door. "Who the hell decided to ruin my concentration?"

"Human Grey, it's me." Old man Jankis said as Grey opened up the door.

"It's Grey and not human Grey. By the way, what do you want?"

"To call you for your punishment." Jankis said and Grey sighed as he stepped out of the room.

"What am I doing?" He asked and then Jankis walked away signalling for him to follow and that was what he did while they began walking around the palace towards a place where Jankis collected something.

Before they set off again this time out of the palace towards the clearing in the middle of the town but he didn't stop there as they kept walking towards the forest.

"Where the hell are we going?" Grey asked annoyed.

"Be patient. You have asked this question about a dozen times now." Jankis replied as they finally got to a part in the forest where different animals were seen hopping around happily. "We are finally here!"

"Huh?" Grey said as he looked around to just see dozens of trees surrounding them and animals hopping around. The smell of the Earth was as damp as always with leaves rustling around producing a slight hum pleasant to the ears. "What are we doing here?"

"Your punishment given to you by Licht is to learn how to respect nature. So for that, your first punishment which you will be doing everyday without fail is to catch all these different animals and feed them. Make sure you don't kill or damage them as you have to be patient and gentle with them otherwise Licht will kill you." Jankis explained.

"So basically you people want me to become animal caretakers." Grey sighed as he looked around. "How has my life turned out to be like this?!"

"And note, I'm going to be watching you from way over there." Jankis pointed a few metres away. "And your time starts now." He said as he gave the basket which he had collected from the palace to Grey and then walking back, he stood several metres away from him while Grey just sighed.

Looking around, he could see the animals running around. From deers, antelopes, sheep and the likes jumping and running around.

'This should be quick.' he thought as he walked towards a deer off to the side but before he could get close, it ran away and Grey gave chase but it was slightly faster.

Using his wind magic, he began chasing the deer all around trying to feed it but it just kept evading him. In anger, Grey went towards another animal and attempted to feed it but it just ran away

The same thing repeated itself to the animals he always tried to feed with them running away and Grey unable to keep up as he played tag with them. He tried all his best but there was nothing he could do as all the animals evaded him and he wasn't able to even keep track of them as they kept using the forest as cover making it hard to find them.

When he was exhausted, he placed his hands on his knees panting hard in exhaustion as he looked around for the animals.

"Darn you animals!" He shouted and old man Jankis laughed at him from where he stood.

"You know time is running out right? In order for you to move on to the next task, you need to be done with this one on time." Jankis said.

"I know darn it!" Grey shouted back as he kept panting hard.

"At the end of the day, he is just a youngling." Jankis mumbled.

'Think Grey think! How can you feed animals that evade your sight so fast that it is hard to keep track? Think! I can't even find them because the trees are obstructing my sight.' he shouted in his mind as he looked around.

'Hold on, I know! The same way I detected how strong Licht was, that is the way I will find them.' he thought with a smile as he finally stood upright with sweat drenching his forehead from chasing the animals around.

Grey was now seen standing upright with his eyes closed and one of his hands outstretched pointing in a general direction of the forest. He breathed in and out, felt the mana moving around and breathing life into all living beings.

Due to always meditating everyday, he was able to enter into his meditation mode quickly as he began turning around still with his eyes closed.

"I wonder what he is doing." Jankis mumbled as he looked at Grey standing around without moving.

'I can feel different life forces moving around with mana moving towards them and the life forces are moving all around the forest quickly. That should be them right? Don't they get tired? They have been running for so long darn it!' he thought in his mind as he concentrated hard when an opportunity finally presented itself.

"Gotcha! Earth magic! Earth trap!" He called out with his hand pointing towards a direction in the forest and the deer found its legs stuck to ground unable to move.

Doing the same thing, he looked around binding the animals to the ground everywhere he pointed to. Finally, all the animals had their feet bind with Earth unable to move.

"Impressive." Jankis mumbled as he watched Grey walk towards the animals and then he lightly tapped them on their heads.

"I would have given you all a harder slap if not because I don't want a couple of light swords impaling my chest. So that is for making me run around." Grey said as he gently fed the animals for a few minutes and then he was finally done.

Immediately he fed the last animal, he held clapping coming from his side with Jankis walking forward.

"That was very impressive! You managed to use mana detection to detect the animals so quickly. Although you took a lot of time, you finally managed to unlock mana detection. Good job!" Jankis cheered but Grey just frowned slightly.

"What's the next punishment?" He asked.

"Right! Let's go back for this." Jankis said and then he began walking back out of the forest with Grey dragging his feet behind him.
