Chapter 263: What Do I Do Now?

“Hmm, this is a very important information for the empire.” Oliver said with both fingers interlocked, supporting his chin.

After the group entered, before he could ask how their experience in the trial land was, they told him about what they found out in Zivia City, it was something he couldn’t neglect.

“I can see you all made great improvements.” Oliver nodded with a smile while examining the youths.

Klaus was already sitting opposite Oliver, while the others were still standing. They couldn’t take a seat without being invited, unlike Klaus.

He asked a little about what they faced in the trial land which the group answered accordingly. Of course, they didn’t tell him everything since it wasn’t necessary.

“You can leave now, except for you two.” He said pointing at Klaus and Grey.

“Also, call Blake over.” He added before Alice and Reynolds left the office.

“Okay sir.” The duo bowed before leaving the office.

Grey was a little confused because since he got admitted into the school, he had never had any interactions with the principal, the only time he saw him was when Chris took him to the Capital.

“Take a seat.” Oliver showed Grey the second seat that was in front of the desk.

“I know you must have gone to check on your Teacher.” Oliver asked with a small smile.

“Yes sir, but he’s not there.” Grey replied a little surprised that Oliver guessed he went to see Chris first.

“Wait, you have a Teacher?” Klaus asked before Oliver could continue speaking, he didn’t mean to interrupt their conversation, it was just that he was dumbfounded by the discovery.

“Yeah, I thought I told you about it?” Grey asked with a confused expression.

“No, no you did not.” Klaus shook his head while still wearing a shocked expression.

“Crap, it must have slipped my mind. But yeah, I do. How else do you think I learned inscribing?” Grey asked with a thoughtful expression.

After accepting Chris as his Teacher, he didn’t tell them about it, and since he usually trains outside, his friends didn’t ask. When they left for the trial land, he had completely forgotten about not telling them that he had a Teacher.

“Oh, so who is it?” Klaus asked curiously.

Oliver who was sitting in his seat looked at the two youngsters with a smile, he couldn’t help but recall his friendship with Chris. When he was younger, although he wasn’t as playful as Klaus, compared to the always serious-looking Chris, he was better. As they grew older, he started changing to the serious one, while Chris turned to the one who doesn’t bother about anything and lives a carefree life. Sometimes, he wonders if his decision to become the principal of the Academy was the right choice.

He coughed lightly to draw the duo’s attention back to him, “Your Teacher has been gone for quite a while now, no one knows where he went to, or when he’ll return. I asked you to stay to see if you might know where he might have gone to.”

He felt since Chris took Grey as his disciple, he must have a special place in his life, so maybe he might’ve told him about a secret place he usually goes to.

“No, I don’t.” Grey shook his head without thinking about it. There was no need to, other than teaching him, Chris rarely speaks about other things, well, except for food.

“Oh, okay. You can leave now, I’ll call you if I need you.” Oliver replied before switching his attention to Klaus.

“Goodbye sir. I’ll be waiting outside.” Grey stood up from his seat and bowed to Oliver before saying to Klaus.

“I don’t think you’ll need to wait.” Oliver said gently.

“Alright.” Grey responded before leaving the office and heading straight for his house. He needed to take a bath.

“Dad, is anything wrong?” Klaus asked when he saw Oliver’s serious expression after Grey left.

Oliver is usually almost always serious, but not when they were alone together.

On getting home, Grey found Void sleeping casually on the bed. He didn’t bother about him and went straight to the bathroom.

Since he had the fire and water elements now, he didn’t need to get water, or boil it before bathing, all he needs to do is make water appear on the bathtub, then place a finger into it, heating it to the temperature he feels will be comfortable for him.

That day turned out to be uneventful since he didn’t see Klaus for the rest of the day, Alice and Reynolds seemed to have plans hence he was unable to see them as well. With nothing left to do, he decided to rest for the rest of the day.

The next day.

Grey woke early the next morning and headed straight to the forest at the back of the Academy, accompanied by Void. It had been a long time since he trained his physical body.

Void watched Grey running around a certain area, doing pull-ups, push-ups, squats, and so on.

‘You do this daily just to have a strong body?’ He couldn’t help but ask.

‘Yeah. This is why compared to other Elementalists in the same stage, I have a far greater speed.’ Grey replied.

He was grateful that when communicating with Void, he didn’t always need to speak out. In his current worn-out state, he was already struggling to catch his breath, there was no way for him to speak properly in that state.

‘That’s quite a lot, we don’t need all this to have our superior bodies.’ Void said proudly.

‘Have you seen yourself?’ Grey asked sarcastically.

He found Void classifying himself as part of magical beasts with superior bodies funny.

‘Of course, do you think you humans can compare with us when it comes to better physiques?’ Void asked mockingly.

‘A dragon, no. But you, heh!’ Grey smirked, he didn’t complete his statement, but his reaction said it all.

Void was annoyed by Grey belittling him, but Grey didn’t bother to argue with him. He had other things on his mind.

‘Since Teacher is gone, and given my Plane, there’s little I can learn from the Academy, what do I do now?’ He asked himself.
