Chapter 287: Fix Him Grey kept his disguise on as they left the city. The guards at the gate were more than when they came in, rigorously checking every individual that was entering or leaving the city. Void was already outside by the time Grey came out, but it was only after going almost one kilometer away from the city did he appear close to him. ‘I’m pumped! Who do I have to beat?’ Void asked as soon as he appeared. ‘I have no idea, we’ll have to get there first.’ replied Grey. He was going to take the same path he took when he was leaving the forest. Once he gets in, he would send Void out to bring an Instructor, seeing how energetic Void was, he is already starting to pity the unlucky Instructor he would choose. After they got to the forest, Grey realized the number of Instructors increased. ‘It’s probably because they found out I left the valley. Hmph! Such pests.’ He snorted coldly. He was chased almost throughout his time in the trial land, as soon as he left the place, he was attacked and Void was injured, now it hadn’t even been up to two weeks since leaving, yet he has to go into hiding. It was starting to get on his nerves! He sent Void ahead of him to scout the area like he did when he wanted to leave, after Void returned, he was able to navigate through the forest easily, without being found out. Without wasting any time, he quickly entered the valley, before sending Void out to abduct an Instructor. He made sure to warn him to handle it as quietly as possible, not to alert the others. Two hours later. In Chris’ valley. Splash! A ball of water splashed on the face of a man who was tied to an earthen chair. He had claw marks on his face, although small, it was very distinct. His eyes were swollen, his hair was a mess, his clothes were torn on different parts. From how he looked, it was easy to discern that he must have been through a lot of hardship. When the ball of water was splashed on his face, he opened his eyes, but everything looked blurry. Seeing the unfamiliar scenery, he hastily looked around, but he still wasn’t able to see properly. He tried standing, but failed. It was at that time that he noticed he was bound by ropes. He quickly tried to use his element, but his expression changed when he realized he couldn’t. ‘Do you think he can see us?’ Void asked when he saw the panicking Instructor. They were standing right in front of the Instructor, yet he hadn’t even taken notice of them. ‘Given how he looks, I’m surprised he’s still alive.’ Grey sneered. ‘I’m sorry, I got carried away.’ Void apologized. Grey looked at him speechless. When Void brought the man some minutes ago, he almost couldn’t believe that the man was still alive. ‘You call that being carried away? Look at him, do you think he can see us properly?’ Grey pointed at the man who seems to be having difficulty seeing his surroundings, much less Grey and Void. Void looked at the man before shaking his head, even he didn’t think the man would be able to see them. “Hey, can you hear me?” Grey snapped his finger in front of the man to draw his attention to him. The Instructor looked ahead of him, although he couldn’t see properly, he was able to easily figure out where the sound was coming from. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞 “Who is that? How dare you kidnap me?!” The Instructor yelled out arrogantly, stunning Grey in the process. ‘Are we the ones tied to a chair, or is he?’ the dumbfounded Grey asked Void who was on his shoulder. Void didn’t have a reply, and raised both shoulders as if saying ‘I don’t know’. Grey looked around just to be sure they were alone before sending another ball of water at the Instructor. He felt the Instructor wasn’t awake yet, he’s probably semi-conscious. “Are you mad?! Didn’t hear me the first time? I’m an Instructor of the Lunar Academy, if you know you aren’t tired of living, you’ll let me go now!” The Instructor continued yelling. ‘Fuck! Void, where did you get such a psychopath?’ Grey cursed out irritatedly. ‘I didn’t know he was like this. It’s not like they write ‘I’m a psychopath’ on their heads.’ replied a dejected Void. ‘Fine, since he’s like this because of your beating, fix him.’ Grey said before taking a seat on the wooden chair Chris had outside. Since the Instructor was being stupid, he would leave him with Void, given Void’s character, it would be a miracle if he didn’t kill him. Some minutes later, the valley was filled with the screams of the helpless Instructor. At first, he was ordering them, but it soon got to the point when he started cursing at them, but a few minutes later, he started begging. Void continued beating him and a few minutes later, other than the sobs of the Instructor, Grey couldn’t hear any other thing. “It’s enough, I think he’s ready to talk,” Grey said while standing up from Chris’ chair. The crying Instructor continued crying even after Void had stopped beating him. His previous swollen eyes had turned double their previous size, now there is definitely no way he would be able to see. “Hey, can you hear me?” Grey repeated the same action as before and unlike the last response, the Instructor nodded. “Good. I have some questions for you, I believe you can talk, right?” asked Grey. “Y…e…s” ‘A little slow, but it’ll do.’ thought Grey. He made an earthen chair close to the Instructor and started questioning him. He first asked when he became an Instructor in the Academy. And it was just as he suspected, the Instructor was part of the new people assigned. After a little about his background, he asked the important question that had been bugging him. “Why is the new Principal searching for me?”
