Chapter 255 - It's All About Perspectives
After getting to the other side of the river, they continued their journey to the Academy. The group would occasionally stop at different cities and towns so the horses could rest.
One week later.
Grey, Alice, Klaus, and Reynolds could be seen riding towards the huge compound of the Lunar Academy.
It surprisingly took them a week to get here, even though according to Grey's calculations, they were supposed to reach here three days ago.
"If only you agreed to us taking the route Reynolds suggested, we would've been here sooner." Grey said turning around to face Klaus.
"I knew that route was longer, that was why I picked it in the first place." Klaus said not admitting he was wrong.This essence is securely nested within the heart of Nøv€lß¡n★
"Bullshit! The only reason we took the route was that you said we should take it since it was shorter." Reynolds said, imitating Klaus when saying the last part of his statement.
"Your route was boring, mine was great." Klaus didn't back down.
"How is being almost robbed great?" asked Reynolds.
"By people who just broke through to the Origin Plane. Didn't you enjoy whooping their asses? Cause I sure did. Also, when we saved that small village from being destroyed by a horde of magical beasts, didn't you feel like a hero?" Klaus said putting a heroic posture as they rode closer to the Academy.
"I get the part where we were almost robbed, but since when did killing the last beast make you the hero of the village?" Grey looked at Klaus with raised eyebrows.
"I under... Wait, what?!" Reynolds almost jumped out of his horse to attack Klaus.
Other than being stronger than Klaus, Klaus defeats him in every other aspect, especially when it came to cursing. Sometimes he wonders how great Klaus would be if he actually decides to spend the time he uses in annoying someone in thinking of something good.
Klaus' quick-wittedness when it came to annoying a person was insane, it makes him wonder about the purpose of life sometimes.
"Nothing." Klaus refused to speak on the issue any further.
Grey looked at the duo and smiled softly, Klaus seems to always think of ways to annoy Reynolds.
"Does this mean you're going to end up like a 'wise old man' as well?" Grey asked with a smirk.
"Yes." Klaus nodded, but his expression soon changed when Alice and Reynolds started chuckling, "Wait, no, no. We don't know what the world has in store for us."
"But you said to make the most out of your life, the wise old man sure is doing it. He does what he loves doing, that is drinking, you on the other hand are not far from that." Grey continued with a smile.
He had finally gotten a chance to win Klaus in a war of words, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, how could he dare waste it?
"Well played Grey, well played." Klaus said with squinted eyes while nodding.
Grey and the others burst into laughter when they realized Klaus admitted defeat.
'Reynolds should be happy, Grey just took the baton from him without him asking.' Klaus thought.
The baton in this case was who he would naturally annoy.
