Chapter 276 - You Two Are More Than Enough!
In Oliver's office.
"Teacher, this must be the work of the Emperor, he wants to sully your name since you're leaving in such a way," Blake said in an annoyed tone.
"I know, but what's the use of fighting with them? That is exactly what they want. I think they're trying to see if Chris is around. Given his temperament, he would've killed a few people by now, heh!" Oliver chuckled at the end of his statement.
"Hmph! Underhanded tactics." Blake snorted coldly.
After finding out what the Emperor was trying to do some time ago, he hated them strongly, especially because he would most likely lose Delia because of this. Since she left the Academy the last time, she hadn't returned, even till now. He had even headed to her family's compound but she wasn't there.
"You still haven't seen your little girlfriend?" Oliver chuckled when he saw Blake's expression, it was like he could see through him.
"No, I've searched every possible place I can think of." Blake shook his head with a sad face.
"She's fine, don't worry too much. I believe she will show up before we leave." Oliver consoled him.
Blake nodded but didn't say anything else, just as he was about to leave, he asked, "When are we leaving?"
"Two days from now. Tell that little nuisance to be prepared." Oliver said.
"Yes, Teacher." Blake bowed before leaving the office.

Alice burst out laughing when she heard Grey's comment , Klaus on the other hand snorted.
"How are things with your research?" asked Alice.
"Going well..." Grey paused mid-sentence before adding, "I think,"
"You must have blown up the place, right?" Klaus asked with a smirk.
Grey called him stupid a few moments ago, now that he had the chance to get back at him, of course he would!
Grey hesitated before replying, "No, no I did not,"
"Haha! You're lying. How many times did it blow up?" Klaus laughed when he saw Grey hesitating.
"Okay fine, they blew up, maybe once, or twice. But I'm increasingly getting closer to successfully making it." Grey replied truthfully.
After the last time the two wooden objects exploded, he made sure not to replicate any more arrays, but to his surprise, after he made his own set of arrays in the wooden object, it exploded. There was one time when it exploded while he was still working on it. If not for his quick reaction and his strong physical defense, he would've been injured.
Luckily for him, his Teacher's house was still intact. Apparently, his Teacher created a defensive array around his house, so even when the explosion goes close to it, it doesn't cause any damages. Grey still hasn't been able to find out the cause of the explosions, but he had been making improvements on it. His only concern was that he was running out of wood.
"Haha! Did you almost die?" Klaus asked in the middle of his laughter.
Grey glared at him, which made Alice giggle. She always enjoyed being with the boys, they are always fun to be with. They stayed in her place for a little while before heading to the city, Klaus took them to the underground fight club they visited before they left for the competition. Alice felt a little downcast because she couldn't fight due to her strength. This was the only thing she hated about being in the Origin Plane, not being able to fight like she usually does. Other than sparing with the boys, she doesn't fight as she previously did.
When they got back to the Academy, Alice told them she would be leaving the next day. Her father sent someone to come get her, she would've left if not for wanting to hang out with the boys one more time. She didn't know when next they would be able to hang out like this again.
Grey felt more pressure on his work, but the truth was, he was already trying his best, but he still hasn't been able to make it till now.
