<h4>Chapter 257 - Your Teacher Lives Here?</h4>


    Grey walked out of the tunnel and into the valley, hoping to be weed by Brown.


    "Huh! He''s not here." Grey looked around when he didn''t feel nor see Brown jumping on him.


    After looking around, he quickly discerned that they weren''t around. He thought of the possibility of Chris being sent to be a representative, but he threw that thought away when he recalled seeing youngsters while he wasing here.


    "Hmm, looks like he went out." Grey mumbled as he walked towards Chris'' house.


    ''There''s no one here.'' Void said after sweeping the area with his spiritual sense.


    "Yeah, looks like Teacher went out." said Grey as he stood in front of the door.


    He looked to the side and noticed the small barn where Chris used to train rabbits and chickens were empty.


    "He must have been gone for a long time now." Grey spected.


    ''Your Teacher lives here?'' asked Void.


    Grey nodded, before turning to look at theke in front of Chris'' house. He gently c.a.r.e.s.sed the chair Chris used to seat on.


    ''Like in this small wooden house?'' Void asked scrutinizing Chris'' house.


    ''No.'' Grey replied with a nk look.


    ''Oh, thank...''


    ''Of course, he lives here, what''s so bad about it?'' Grey red at him.


    ''Nothing, it''s great, very peaceful.'' replied Void.


    ''How can a bigshot live in such a ce? There are no shiny things here!'' Void thought internally.


    But of course, he kept his thoughts to himself. Over the time they had spenting to the Academy, he had seen howvishly people who regard themselves as bigshots live in those cities and towns, even a small vige''s bigshot possessed some shiny things. Yet, Grey''s Teacher who ording to him the emperor was wary of didn''t have any, how preposterous!


    ''Shiny things are a symbol of power, yet such a powerful man doesn''t have any, such a shame.'' Void shook his head while saying to himself.


    "*Sigh* Let''s go, instructor ke would know where he went to." Grey sighed before heading back to the tunnel.


    He took another look at the valley before stepping into the tunnel.


    After leaving the valley, he headed straight for us'' building and was surprised to see the two boys cleaning us'' house.


    "Haha, good thing you''re here. Join us." us invited Grey the moment he saw him.


    "Where''s Alice?" Grey asked when he didn''t see Alice around.


    "Seeing how dusty my house was, she decided to go clean hers." us said.


    "Then why is he here?" Grey pointed at the hardworking Reynolds.


    "Oh, I promised to help him when he''s cleaning his house as well." said us with a mysterious smile.


    Grey looked at him, then at us, before shaking his head. us was probably trying to take advantage of Reynolds, this would most definitely not end well for him. All Reynolds needs to do is summon his Elemental Warrior, and us is toast.


    "Why are you looking at me that way?" us asked disapprovingly when he noticed the look Grey was giving him.


    "Nothing." Grey didn''t bother to advise him, sometimes, it was best to just let some people suffer for their stupidity.


    "You think I''m not going to help him?" us asked with a long face.


    "Your smile said so." Grey didn''t deny it.


    "Of course I''ll help him, it''s a deal after all." us said thumping his c.h.e.s.t.


    "Although I don''t believe you, I''m not going to speak about it. But why are you the one outside, and he''s inside." Grey asked thoughtfully.


    "So that I can receive the guests." us responded, making Grey roll his eyes.


    It wasn''t hard to see that us was only trying to avoid doing most of the work.


    "Yeah...good luck with that. I''m going to go clean my house now, it must be in a terrible state by now." Grey said before heading straight for his building, not minding how us and Reynolds were going to settle their uing dispute.


    "Okay, we''ll head over once we''re done with Rey''s house!" us waved at him before getting back to work, this time, he went inside.


    ''I still think Rey is going to beat him up.'' Grey said to Void.


    ''Fat chance, us will think of a way around it. Also, I think he''s going to try to get revenge for the time he carried Reynolds, and Reynolds refused to carry him.'' Void spected.


    ''Revenge, that''s very likely. Heh! Rey is still going to beat him up.'' Grey stood by his first statement.


    Getting to his house, it was just like he left it, only, dusty. The chairs not only had dust, but cobwebs as well. Without wasting any more time, he quickly got to work.


    The wind and the water element were quite useful since they made the work easier for him. He used the wind element to blow out all the dust in the parlor, before using the water element to wipe every part of it clean. It didn''t even take him up to ten minutes topletely clean his house. After all, all he had was a parlor and a single room.


    Given the huge space eachpound had, it wouldn''t be easy for anyone to build a vi or a mansion in theirpound. Even after building it, there would still be some space left.


    Of the group, although Grey was thest toe back, he was the first to get his house to its previous clean state. He noticed that the building on his left was currently upied.


    With nothing left to do, he sat outside his house, on a smallwn and waited for his friends toe over so they could all report to the principal''s office.


    us and Alice were popr amongst the students, so a few had already started spreading the rumor of their return. Grey was also very popr because of his face, but since he''s not as social as us, there were very few people he spoke with other than his three friends.
