Chapter 404: Surprised Oliver



Chapter 404: Surprised Oliver

Grey didn’t find Klaus’ father’s decision to leave the empire surprising, after all, they couldn’t go against the empire.

“Wait, you found drops of liquid of the Great Earth Essence Liquid?” Oliver seemed to recall something and asked.

This was something that could alter the constitution of an Elementalist, changing their elemental grades. It was so rare that not many people believed it existed.

“Yes, back at the trial land,” Grey replied.

‘No wonder they’ve been advancing so quickly. With that thing, their elemental grades must’ve seen a boost. Could it be that they’ve attained the violet grade?’ Oliver thought to himself, surprised.

He never thought that they would acquire something so precious in the trail land. Now he understood why the Emperor was searching for them so fervently, given the miraculousness of the Great Earth Essence Liquid, these youngsters go easily grow to overpower the people at the top.

Take Grey, for example, he was already more powerful than most of the Instructors in the Lunar Academy, even Klaus was more powerful than them. Then there’s Alice and Reynolds as well.

Oliver couldn’t wrap his head around what these four friends would be able to accomplish if given the time to grow. He knew about the story of the last person known to have the violet grade in his element. According to the story, he was jointly assassinated by three different empires.

They couldn’t stand to see one empire producing such a prodigy. It was just like the cases over the years with the empires as well, trying to kill off any person they find as a potential threat.

Although they rarely succeed, there have been times when a once in a hundred years prodigy had been killed by an opposing empire. These things usually happen between the Qilin and Azure empires. Both take themselves as the true leaders of the continent.

….

“Oh right, dad, we wanted to give you one,” Klaus suddenly spoke up.

He asked Grey for one of the drops for his father when they left the trail land, and Grey agreed to give it to him. Due to what happened after they arrived, he couldn’t take the liquid from Grey, so he was unable to give it to his dad.

“Yes Principal, I planned to give it to you after we’ve gotten to a safer area.” Grey nodded.

He naturally didn’t forget about this, even when he used it for his darkness element the previous time, he still remembered one of the remaining drops was for Klaus’ father.

Oliver not expecting that he would actually get something like this was a little short of words, but being someone who is already very experienced, he was able to quickly recover.

“I’m already old, you should keep it for yourselves,” He replied.

As much as he wanted this, he felt it would be of much use to the kids. Given their talent, it wouldn’t be hard for them to surpass himself and Chris.

“We’ve already refined one each, even Void refined one as well,” Grey explained.

He didn’t want to take no from the Principal, after all, Klaus’ life rested on his hands, so the stronger he was, the safer Klaus was.

“Even the cat?” Oliver asked, stunned.

Why would anyone give a cat such a precious treasure? It just didn’t make any sense!

Of course, he only thought of this since he didn’t really know Void, nor any of his abilities. To him, Void was just a pet Grey picked up from the trial land. He might be special, but not to the level where he would get such privileges.

“Of course, Void could easily whoop Klaus’ ass. Why would he not get one, and Klaus gets one?” Grey asked, not forgetting to use the opportunity to take a dig at Klaus.

“What the hell? Why did you have to use me for the example? I mean, there’s Rey,” Klaus jumped up, pointing at Grey dramatically.

“Yeah, and he can also whoop your ass. So you see?” Grey smirked.

“I’d like to see him try that now, hmph!” Klaus snorted.

He was very confident in his current strength. If it were the time when they just left the trial land, then he wouldn’t say this, but now, he felt if he really fought against Grey seriously, he wouldn’t lose too badly.

“Hehe… I don’t think that would end well for you,” Grey chuckled, obviously making fun of Klaus.

“Don’t tell me he’s also gotten to the Eighth stage?” Klaus asked with a sour look, just when he thought he would be able to flaunt in front of Reynolds again, Grey was laughing at him mockingly. This only meant Reynolds was stronger than he was.

“No, actually, he’s only in the Fifth stage,” Grey replied sincerely.

“Hmm, if he’s in the Fifth stage, then his Elemental Warrior should be in the Sixth or Seventh stage. I’m sure I can beat it,” Klaus muttered.

“The thing is, his Elemental Warrior is in the Eighth stage,” Grey broke the news to Klaus.

“I thought the Elemental Warrior was only a stage or two above him, how did it turn to three stages?” Klaus asked in surprise.

“You’re not the only one who’s lucky,” Grey replied with a snicker.

Of the four friends, Klaus could be said to be the one with the best luck. This could be seen from the competition, as well as from the recent event.

Other than the time Grey accidentally teleported into the wall where he acquired his fire element, Void has been the one leading him to where he could find treasures.

“Wait, that kid’s a summoner?” Oliver asked.

He was just getting more and more surprised from what he was hearing, he almost couldn’t believe what happened to Grey and his friends in the trial land that they were able to acquire so much.

“Not just any summoner, but a high-grade summoner,” Klaus replied proudly, it was almost like he was the one who was the summoner.

One could see the genuine joy and pride on his face when speaking about his friends’ success.

He wasn’t really too bothered if they were stronger than him, after all, he wanted all of them to be successful, it didn’t mean he had to be successful first.
