262: Visiting The Principal's Office

Visiting The Principal's Office

"You guys are early," Grey said when he saw Klaus and Reynolds walking into the compound.0

He was a little taken aback when he realized Klaus was actually looking okay, he initially expected Reynolds would rough him up when he refuses to help him clean his house.

"Why wouldn't we?" Reynolds asked before taking a seat close to Grey.

Grey threw a glance at Klaus, and Reynolds immediately understood why before bursting out into laughter.

"Of course I'd help him, we're friends after all," Klaus said in discontent before glaring at Reynolds which increased Reynolds' fit of laughter.

Seeing this, Grey knew something definitely happened. He gave Reynolds a questioning stare.

"Actually, when we got to my house, he said he wasn't going to help me, and I summoned my Elemental Warrior." Reynolds chuckled while saying.

"I told you, it was a joke," Klaus explained.

"And my Elemental Warrior only appeared so he could laugh at the joke," Reynolds said, making Grey laugh alongside him.

"Did you, you know, beat him a little?" Grey whispered to Reynolds.

"Nah, he immediately started helping when he saw the appearance of the Elemental Warrior," Reynolds said with a little remorseful, he would have loved to teach Klaus a lesson or two. After all, this was the only advantage he had over him.

"Hmph! Don't get ahead of yourself, do you think I can't beat that little summon of yours?" Klaus snorted coldly.

"No, no you can't." Grey was the one who answered with a sneer.

"I don't like outside interferences when fighting, if he knows he a man, then he should face me one-on-one, without any summons." Klaus glared at the duo.

He knew there was no way for him to beat them in a fight, well, if Reynolds doesn't use his Elemental Warrior, then he had at least a sixty percent chance. But since he knew that was impossible, and he couldn't beat them in a fight, he would defeat them with words.

"Let's head over to Alice's place, you know we still need to report to the principal," suggested Grey after they were done laughing at Klaus.

"Why don't we go to the city instead?" Klaus looked at the two, making Grey facepalm.

"This is an information that will save thousands of lives, we've already wasted so much time cleaning our houses, now you want to have fun instead?" Grey almost felt like knocking some sense into Klaus.

"I'm joking. Why are you all so serious? Take life as it comes, you'll live better, although not always long, but better." Klaus advised.

"Another one of the wise old man's teaches?" Grey asked with furrowed brows.

"Yeah. Don't always get too worked up or serious, I know sometimes it's good to be serious, but not always. Always being too focused on the goal will make you lose touch with the things around you." Klaus continued his advice.

"From the man as well?" Reynolds asked.

"No, this is from me." Klaus shook his head, feeling proud that he managed to come up with something like this.

'I should write it down, I'll write a book about all my teachings about life and spread it across the entire empire, no, the continent.' He thought in excitement.

They left Grey's house and headed for Alice's place, with Klaus deep in thought. He would occasionally nod his head while rubbing his chin.

His strange behavior confused Grey and Reynolds who were walking behind him.

Getting to Alice's place, they saw her coming out of her house. She looked fresh and clean, and even put on new clothes which reminded the boys that they didn't even bother to bathe after cleaning their houses. They have been wearing the same clothes for weeks now.

Alice was slightly taller than the time they left for the trial land, which made the clothing she wore a little short, but it wasn't too noticeable. She wore a long scarlet red dress that extended to her knees and light blue trousers which were just above her ankle. Her brown hair was tied into a ponytail, bringing out her youthful face.

"Why are you all still wearing the same clothes?" She asked seeing the trio.

Grey laughed awkwardly before replying, "We wanted to make sure we got to the principal's office without wasting any more time."

Alice looked at them, seeing their expressions, she knew they didn't even think of wearing new clothes. She was more surprised about Grey since he usually baths a lot before they went to the trail land.

"Heh! Pigs." She sneered before skipping in front of the trio, leading them to the principal's office.

Grey didn't reply and followed behind her, Klaus gave Reynolds a look before joining Alice and Grey. Reynolds was left surprised by the look Klaus gave to him, it was almost like he was saying, this was your fault.

On their way to the Academy, they encountered a few instructors who followed them to the Capital. Seeing the improvements made by the students exhilarated them. Grey's improvement was particularly extraordinary, he was already at a stage where he could even decide to be an instructor in the Academy. To become an instructor in the Lunar Academy needed to be at least in the Fourth stage of the Origin Plane. The requirements were a little lower in the other Academies, as long as you have broken through to the Origin Plane, you're eligible to become one.

On getting to the principal's office, Klaus stepped forward. Although they had a piece of important information, if not for the fact that the principal was his father, there was no way they would've come here. They would've at most, gone to meet an instructor, someone like Blake, then he would then bring them here.

Klaus softly knocked on the door, after waiting for a few seconds and not getting a reply, he knocked on it again.

"Come in, son." Oliver's voice came from inside the office, "You three as well."

The group wasn't surprised by the fact that the principal knew Klaus was the one knocking, they would have been surprised if he didn't.

Without wasting any more time, they walked into the office.
