Chapter 652 - Too Peaceful?
"I'm bored," Klaus said while sitting on the throne Void stole and swinging his legs around.
He even wore one of the crowns as well.
Grey was by the side busy writing down some things he had learned from the time he had been with his Teacher on a piece of paper, he raised his head to look at Klaus before focusing on what he was doing again.
"Me too, let's go out," Void said laying on the armrest of the throne.
"Even if we go out, I'm already too famous. I don't want to be disturbed by my fans," Klaus said with a sigh.
Grey snickered when he heard this. He didn't believe with Klaus' personality he would want to stay hidden if he were famous. Klaus would go around flaunting himself, he might even take an announcer with him that would announce his arrival before he got to any place.
"Isn't there a place we can visit?" Void asked with a secret smile to Klaus.
Before Klaus could reply.
"You two are not going out to steal anything. The Principal has already warned you two after the last time. If you even take a step out, I'll ask Alice to beat you up," Grey warned.
Some days before the coronation, Klaus and Void vanished from the valley. Grey was training so he didn't take note of their disappearance.
They went out to have 'fun' and on the way, a young man offended Klaus. This person was from a family that can't really be regarded as a top family, but since they had six Overlord Plane Elementalists, they were respected around the area.
Klaus was naturally irritated by him and he went with Void to 'borrow' the family's greatest treasure and flaunted it in front of the young man while standing at the gate to the young man's family compound. The young man accused Klaus of theft and called for the guards to take him down. Who knew the guards were only in the Early stages of the Origin Plane.
Klaus went easy on them, only freezing them. He didn't kill them, but the scene sent a chill down the spines of the young man and the other guards.
Those watching were excited because this particular young man had been oppressing a few people due to his status.
Klaus mocked the young man and he went ahead to call the big guns. When Klaus saw the people he called out, he laughed out loud, almost falling to the ground.
The strongest person in this family was actually in the Fourth stage of the Overlord Plane. At the time Klaus was in the Second stage of the Overlord Plane, he could take on someone in the Fourth stage, much less now that he was in the Fifth stage.
He smacked the old man straight back into the compound, shocking the entire family. It was at this moment that they knew they messed up and they couldn't help but glare daggers at the young man.
Klaus went a little further by leisurely walking into the family compound and summoning the elders of the family to give them some advice.
While he was in the middle of punishing the young man, Blake who went to the city to get something for Chris heard the news and rushed there immediately. On seeing the state of the compound, he glared at Klaus who chuckled awkwardly. Even though he knew Klaus wasn't at fault since the young man was the one who instigated the matter, he felt Klaus went a tad too far. He apologized to the elders of the family before dragging Klaus with him.
On their way out, he recalled that Klaus took something from the family, and forced him to return it. What he found amusing was that these people didn't even dare to ask for it when they were leaving. Had he not remembered it, they would've lost it forever.
He reported the matter to the Principal and Chris when he returned. Klaus and Void were reprimanded strongly.
However, Grey felt the story must be missing a few vital details. First of all, given how their faces were on countless posters across the empire for a long time, there was basically almost no one who didn't know about them. How the hell did this particular young man didn't recognize Klaus?
Besides, this was Lunar City, the place he had been living for a long time before they left just over a year ago.
"Hmph!" Klaus snorted at Grey's words before picking up a blade of grass from the ground.
He flicked the blade of grass in Grey's direction, and Grey set up a defensive wall in front of him, however, he was stunned when the blade of grass cleanly passed through his earthen wall. One has to know that the defensive ability of this wall had gotten to another level. Yet, this simple blade of grass Klaus threw his way passed through it so easily.
He stretched out his hand quickly, and after enforcing his hands with all seven elements, he caught the blade of grass. The blade of grass had turned into a piece of solid thin ice that had terrifying penetrative power.
Grey was a little taken aback by how powerful Klaus' ice abilities were. If he were to fight against him using only the ice ability of the water element, then Klaus would definitely have the advantage.
"When are we leaving?" Klaus asked still swinging his legs around.
"I have no idea. We'll have to wait till Teacher and the Principal are about to leave," Grey replied while breaking the blade of grass that had turned to ice.
"I miss the days we were being chased," Klaus' statement stunned Grey.
Who would miss something like that?
Alice walked in when Klaus said this and almost had the urge to beat him up.
"Why don't we spare since you're so bored?" She asked with a warm smile.
"No, I still have burn marks from the last time. Go find someone else you want to beat up," Klaus immediately rejected the idea.
Grey laughed when he recalled Klaus' pitiful appearance after his sparring session with Alice. Although if it was a true battle he would defeat her, since they were only trying out the mastery of their elements, she managed to strike him twice with lightning.
Klaus' hair stood straight for almost the entire day.
