<h4>Chapter 274 - Homeless!</h4>
BOOM!
A deafening explosion rang out behind Grey''s house frightening the hell out of us and Reynolds, even Void who was with Alice was stunned by the explosion.
''What did you do?'' Void asked Grey who was still running.
''Nothing, it exploded on its own.'' Grey said while looking behind him to see the range of the st.
The explosion covered from his backyard to his house,pletely demolishing it. It also destroyed the Academy fence that was behind his house. Luckily, the space of eachpound was huge, so it didn''t get to the other houses by the side
"My house!" Grey yelled in dejection.
us and Reynolds walked closer to him when they saw that the explosion wasn''t spreading anymore. Alice and Void also came closer to him. They were all looking at him with suspicious gazes.
"What happened, did someone sneak into your house or something?" us asked while taking a nce at Grey''s burning house after the explosion started dying down.
"No, it was those wooden objects," replied Grey who currently had a sour face.
The explosion was bound to draw attention to him, especially given the size of it. He couldn''t tell everyone what he was working on. But Instructor ke and the principal were exceptions though.
It didn''t take long before the students around started flocking around Grey''s house. Some Instructors had also rushed to the scene as well, Instructor ke was the first to arrive amongst the Instructors, he was standing with Grey and his friends.
"So, you''re saying that two wooden objects were the cause of this?" ke asked a little confused.
"Yes." Grey nodded.
''''Normal woods?" ke asked again.
"They are not entirely normal," Grey said, stressing thest parts of the statement.
Grey told Instructor ke what the wooden objects were, and what he was trying to do, of course, he didn''t tell him about everything, only some parts of it.
ke cleared the area after getting to know what happened. It was an ident, and he didn''t want to unsettle the students. He made up an excuse but made sure to tell them it was an ident and not an enemy attack.
"You four,e to my office." ke said before flying to his office.
Grey looked at the trio with a wry smile before heading to the Lightning Hall, he knew Instructor ke was not going to let this go easily.
At ke''s office.
"Where did you get those?" ke asked after Grey and the others walked into the office.
This was the first time he was seeing this device, he had heard of it, but had never seen it before. Finding out that Grey and his friends had some surprised him.
"In the trialnd, we encountered a group who used it…" Grey told Instructor ke about their encounter with Quinn.
ke was thrilled by the story of them fighting against a Darkness Elementalist. Chris was the only one he had seen who had one of the two rarest elements which was the light element.
"You say they had a map of the ce?" ke asked.
"Yes, they seem to be searching for something over the past years they''ve gone in." Grey handed the map over to him.
ke didn''t miss the part where he took out a map from his seemingly previous empty-looking pocket. This discovery shocked him to no end. Given the size of the map, Grey''s pocket was supposed to at least bulge out a little, but there was no difference even after taking out the map.
"This is beyond me, we''ll have to go see Teacher." ke said standing up from his seat.
He didn''t know much about the trialnd, other than the few things his Teacher told him about it, he knew nothing else, so having the map wasn''t of any use to him.
Oliver was taking care of the few things remaining before he would officially leave the Academy when he sensed ke walking towards his office with his son and his friends. As soon as he saw theming, he knew they were definitely involved in the explosion that took ce some minutes ago.
After hearing everything from ke, he looked at Grey and his before taking the map.
"I heard a secret ce opened up this time in the trialnd, even an expert''s legacy was inherited." He after looking at the map.
There was a spot crossed in the map, it indicated a treasure or something. And ording to some people who came out of the trialnd, two huge ck doors opened up, and they were filled with treasures, as well as danger.
"Yes, we came across the first door. The people who had that map were the ones who discovered it." us exined.
"What was inside?" Oliver asked with curiosity.
"The Great Earth Essence Liquid," us said.
Oliver narrowed his eyes when he heard about it, he knew what it could do, so hearing that some of it was actually located in the trialnd amazed him, but he quickly removed it from his mind.
"Okay, you shouldn''t continue that research of yours in the Academy since it seems dangerous. Go to your Teacher''s valley when next you n to do it." Oliver said before dismissing them.
Grey was trying to make something he could use to contact his friends, so he didn''t want to stop him. After sending the group out, ke was the only one left in office.
"There''s something about Senior Chris'' student," ke told him what happened in his office.
"No need to worry about him, he doesn''t have any malicious intent towards us." Oliver waved it off.
"I know, but his background is suspicious. Not just that, but if he''s able to sessfully create this thing, then he would be able to locate us at any time of his choice." ke added.
"If he didn''t trust you, do you think he woulde clean with you?" Oliver asked with a smile.
ke kept quiet for a few seconds, "I was only trying to be cautious. I can tell he wouldn''t do anything to harm us, but if he loses that thing after making it, then we would be in danger."
"Let me worry about that, okay." Oliver shook his head when he saw how cautious ke was.
"Yes, Teacher." ke bowed before leaving the office.
"I''ll see if the little boy can sessfully make that, if he can, then he''s as much of a genius as his Teacher." Oliver muttered while looking through the window.
