Is there a problem?\" Gunther couldn’t help but ask after noticing Grey scrunch up the letter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey’s hands were tightly clutched, his jaw working repeatedly as he stared ahead with a blank, uneasy look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He let out a controlled sigh before lifting his gaze back to the instructor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need your help, instructor Gunther.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lifting an eyebrow, the instructor shifted in his seat, his attention sharpening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m listening.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I need to get back home. There’s been an issue.\" Grey replied, his tone silent, composed and strangely rigid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh?\" Gunther muttered as he leaned back, palms massaging his temples before adding carefully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You do know that no student has the permission to return home right now, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey nodded, hands immensely clenched as if holding himself together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do. But this is urgent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gunther exhaled deeply, the sound heavy, before shaking his head in exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How long will you take?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t know yet. It depends on how long the trouble I need to sort out lasts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The instructor didn’t respond immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He simply rose from his seat, posture stern, gaze hardened while focusing on the mage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just know this. I am sticking my neck out for you because I genuinely feel you are what we need to win this entire ordeal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though my father owns this academy, that doesn’t mean I will casually disobey rules. Don’t make me regret this decision.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey smiled faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then. I will arrange a carriage that will take you home right now. It should be ready in an hour or so. The earlier you leave, the better.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you. I appreciate this.\" Grey uttered and performed a curt bow, one the instructor silently acknowledged with a nod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gunther walked toward the door, his boots tapping softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait for me here while I get everything ready. I don’t want to waste time searching for you across the entire academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he exited the room, leaving Grey alone in the office. The mage stood quietly, eyes drifting around the instructor’s workspace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yami sir, please hold on. I will be there soon. I will try my possible best to help you out of this trouble. I promise.\" He mumbled softly, eyes shimmering with resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few hours later, Gunther finally managed to get the carriage ready and the Supreme Magus had been secretly escorted out of the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grey kept his head and face covered, walking beside Gunther as they slipped past the academy gates unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up above, at the highest point of the administrative block, a solitary shadow stood behind a window, silently observing as Gunther and Grey exited the gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The figure stayed motionless, eyes unreadable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember, don’t take long.\" Gunther said as he stared directly at Grey.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The carriage waited nearby, horses stamping impatiently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I won’t.\" Grey replied with a small smile as he turned around to climb in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A firm hand rested on his shoulder, prompting him to turn back toward the instructor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take care of yourself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Grey smiled genuinely, without any hint of cynicism or mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I will. Thank you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without wasting another second, he stepped into the carriage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A loud crack from the driver echoed as the reins were snapped, and the horses surged forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wheels rolled, speed building instantly as the carriage dashed ahead, leaving swirling dust rising behind them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gunther remained where he stood, arms crossed, eyes following the speeding carriage until it vanished beyond the distant path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a prolonged sigh, he turned around and walked back through the academy gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far away from the bustling town, hidden behind a towering mountain, a solitary house stood in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along with the medium sized building that dominated the space, a modest looking structure sat quietly off to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had a neat pathway of freshly cut grasses that looked tender and well cared for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air was fresh and serene in this area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breeze drifted through with a gentle howl, rustling the blades of grass and stirring a few scattered plants around the compound.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everything carried a peaceful feeling, almost as if the world slowed down here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the modest looking building, the sound of people shouting was heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It carried the unmistakable tone of individuals training, pushing their bodies and abilities to their limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the medium sized building had faint noises, not of people screaming from exertion, but of individuals going about their regular activities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the medium sized house, three females could be seen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was an older woman with long beautiful blonde hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strands looked as soft as refined silk, cascading down her shoulder blades to her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her elegant egg shaped face held a warm smile and her bright yellow eyes glowed gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next female was a pretty young girl who looked no older than sixteen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had long stunning blonde hair similar to the older woman beside her. Her lively green eyes sparkled with excitement as she focused on the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last person was a little girl who looked around seven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her purple hair wavered slightly whenever the breeze brushed past. A cheeky and childish grin decorated her face as she radiated the energy of a mischievous troublemaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the females in the house, and they appeared to be preparing a meal, chatting with genuine happiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey Vanessa, pass me the salt, will you?\" The older woman asked while holding out her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure thing,\" the teenage girl replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She reached for the condiment and handed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was still paying attention to what she was working on when...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knock, Knock, Knock, Knock!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sudden sound pulled their attention to the entrance of the kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confusion spread across their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Huh? Who could be there?\" Clarice, the older woman, muttered quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It could be dad!\" Millie, the youngest, shouted with pure excitement, and without any hesitation, she dashed toward the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clarice reached out as if to stop her, but the little girl was already gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vanessa quickly turned off the flames beneath the pot they were preparing and hurried out of the kitchen along with their mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They reached the living room just in time to see Millie pulling the door open with eager hands, only to reveal a young male standing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hand was raised, ready to knock again, but stopped mid air as the door opened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes calmly scanned the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His red hair wavered lightly as the breeze slipped into the house and his gaze shifted across every figure before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The women stared in disbelief, their mouths slightly parted as none of them expected to see the person standing at the threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shock held them still for several seconds until a certain cheeky someone shattered the silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Grey!\" Millie screamed joyfully and, filled with absolute amusement, jumped straight into the arms of the person in front of them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1154,"2026-06-05T15:21:40.823Z",1,"novelbin.me","8af9f229e7753c6e58d9b1510027726fa2a451bf81a19c62b8bcf8d46b0ba0b4","magus-supremacy-chapter-667","magus-supremacy-chapter-665",1068,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmagus-supremacy-cover.jpg"]
