Chapter 157 Going Round The Rooms

"Young master it wasn't my fault, it was for the greater good!"

"Not only that, but I also made sure not to pick anyone from the school"

"All the people I used were from a random tribe outside that had nothing to do with us"

Saying this, George had a nonchalant look on his face.

Obviously, he didn't see what the big deal was about using some people for experiments, especially so when those experiments were successful.

*I guess it's my fault for not teaching them researcher common sense*

*Sigh…, one more thing to do later on*

Sighing in his mind, Elric slowly stood up from his bed.

Just now during the talk, the sense of feeling had unknowingly begun to return to his body.

From all the way from the soles of his feet to the tips of his fingers

Before Elric knew it, although stiff at some joints, his whole body was moving fine.

"Alright forget about that for now George, why don't you take me around the school?"

Waving his hand, Elric decided to change the topic, for at least until George was taught some common sense by him.

Shaking his head, With George in the lead, Elric followed around two steps behind him while George explained everything that was going on.

..............

"As you can see young master, over there the apprentice wizards are at work!"

"Using the body strengthening magic, they remove pieces of rubble from all around the school"

Looking at the former lively cafeteria, Elric sighed at the results of this unexpected war.

The whole place has been smashed to bits with not even a single chair spared.

The ceiling was torn apart and the wall was broken.

Noticing all these things, Elric thanked this luck that it hadn't rained for a while not

After all, if it rained, especially a heavy one, then Hogwarts would without a doubt become flooded.

Thinking of this, Elric realised they had to hurry up so as to not be caught off guard.

Unfortunately, before George could take Elric to the next place, the students around had already noticed Elric's presence.

"Mr. Headmaster you're up!"

"Headmaster you're awake!" Sounded the nearby students.

Soon much to his surprise and helplessness, Elric had unknowingly become surrounded by eager students.

After all, no matter whether new or old students, most of them had witnessed Elric's appearance in the last battle

Watching Elric use his strength alone to turn the tide, most of them were filled with an inexplicable excitement

Now one week later, Elric's popularity among the students has not reduced in the slightest.

In fact, most of them even enact the battle scenes in their dorms

Sometimes, they would even argue on who would be the evil demon or the valiant headmaster whenever it was time to play.

Especially considering the fact that the majority of them are still children, Elric had unknowingly become their idol.

"Good day students! I hope those of you that were injured are much better now" said Elric.

Looking at the ecstatic children completely surrounding him, a smile appeared on his face.

Although still not a hundred percent fit, being surrounded like this did make him feel better.

"Yes headmaster, we're much better!"

"Once classes start again, we promise to become stronger! Much stronger! So something like this will never happen again."

Focusing his eyes on Elric, a student said this as his level of determination seemed like it was about to pierce the skies.

Nico?

Looking closely, Elric realised it was Nico who he hadn't seen in a while.

Speaking of Nico, he Lilith, and Aoma, Elric couldn't wait to see what those three would achieve in the future

Just from the level of determination in Lilith and Aoma beside him, Elric couldn't see a difference.

"Haha Good! I can't wait for each and every one of you to grow stronger."

"Who knows, next time we might fight side by side on the battlefield!"

Saying this, Elric took the opportunity to up their morale

And unsurprisingly, it worked.

Fighting side by side, just hearing Elric say this, most of the students' blood began to boil.

Unlike this time when they couldn't help and their status was almost the same if not worse than burdens.

Most of them desperately wished they were stronger, lucky for them Elric found an avenue for them to redeem themselves.

Now it seemed like most of the students had drunk an energy drink making them look more pumped than usual as they Imagined fighting beside him.

Watching this happen, Elric just smiled.

*Clap!*

"Alright, that's enough. The remaining of you get back to work"

"Remember, the faster rebuilding finishes, the faster classes start, and the faster you all get stronger"

Saying Elric had a sly expression on his face.

His words just now although true were nothing more than an incentive to increase their work rate

And sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the crowd immediately sprang into action without even waiting for his command.

Watching this happen, Elric knew it was time to leave this room and check the others.

"Alright George, let's get out of here."

"While I am happy to see most of the students, we can't just waste all the time here"

"Let's do a quick survey of the other places before meeting Alvin and Davis and planning the next step" said Ekric

"No problem young master, let me take the lead."

Saying this, with George in the lead, both of them said their goodbyes before heading to the next room.

Thankfully with the experience of handling the students in the first room, Elric was able to deal with their enthusiasm without wasting too much time.

The second, the third, the fourth, before he knew it, Ekric had cleared all the rooms and was completely satisfied with what he saw.

"Alright George, it seems we're done here for the day."

"All that's left us to meet up with Alvin and Davis in my office"

Taking a deep breather, Elric and George decided to wait in the headmaster's office till they both arrived.
