"Gray, my sweet big brother, are you finally going to help those pathetic little things that you can teammates?" Maelis uttered in a teasing tone.
"Bitch!"
Selene hissed through clenched teeth, her aura trembling around her sword.
The others were also quite uncomfortable at her words, but most of them didn't dare to actually say something about it.
But Gray… didn't react at all. He stood there, silent, sword resting lazily against his shoulder, his dull black eyes fixed elsewhere.
He wasn't even looking at Maelis.
His gaze was locked onto Leon.
'...A low-level Space Spirit?' His eyes narrowed lightly as he gazed down at Leon's shoulders, where a faint purple and dark wisp could be seen circling around him.
'No wonder he got so strong that easily.'
The only reason Gray was able to see spirits, something that usually only elves and people contracted by spiritis could see, was because he had met... the Fairy Queen once.
Even until now, he hasn't forgotten about it.
