Affinity:Chaos

Grey was left bothered by the question for the rest of the day, but he made sure to have fun with Klaus while he was still here. The next day soon reached and it was time for Klaus to leave. Grey followed them to the Academy's gate.

"Why don't you come with us?" Oliver offered when he saw the sad expression of both boys.

"Thank you, Sir, but I'll have to decline. I'll come to visit when I'm done with my research." Grey smiled.

Oliver didn't say any more since he only asked him to come because of Klaus.

"Goodbye bud, hopefully, you can get a girlfriend before we meet again," Klaus said while patting Grey on the shoulder.

"I'm not interested in that, for now," Grey replied.

"The chances of you having a girlfriend without my help is basically zero anyway, I was just saying so it wouldn't look like I don't care." Klaus chuckled.

Just as they were about to leave, Klaus turned around while taking a small book out of his backpack, "Here, I almost forgot."

He tossed the book over to Grey who caught it, and looked at the cover curiously, on it was written 'The Ways Of Life'.

"What's this?" Grey was forced to ask when he saw the title of the book.

"The ways of life. It was written by me. It's not complete yet, but I felt you should have it since you need it." explained Klaus. He suddenly started rummaging through his backpack once again.

"Oh! There's also this, I think you actually need this more." Klaus said after taking out a second small book from his backpack.

When Grey caught it, he looked at the title, and couldn't help but smile awkwardly, on it was written 'How To Get And Handle A Woman Properly'.

He had always seen Klaus as a nutjob, but it seems like Klaus keeps surprising him every single time. What the hell does he want to use these books for?

"You see, you're not the only one who was working hard because of our departure. The reason I didn't give Rey any of these was that the first book wouldn't be able to help him, and unlike you, the second book isn't needed." Klaus explained which caused Grey to facepalm.

Oliver and Blake who were waiting for him curiously checked the titles of both books and couldn't help but shake their heads, Klaus always finds new ways to amaze them. How did he even come up with writing these things?

"I've always known you were not normal, but now it seems to call you crazy is a disrespect to crazy people." Grey looked at his friend with a smile.

"Haha! I'm the king of crazy." Klaus declared before turning around, he continued waving at Grey even though he wasn't facing him anymore.

Grey watched on as the group left, and it was like the last reason he was staying in the Lunar Academy was gone. He totally lost all interest in the Academy.

'*Sigh* A new era is about to begin in the once prestigious Lunar Academy, hopefully, it keeps the reputation the Principal built over the years.' Grey thought as he headed to his Teacher's valley.

Oliver, Blake, and Klaus were walking on the pathway when Klaus noticed Blake was putting on a sad face.

"Are you okay?" He asked as he went closer to Blake.

"No." Blake shook his head sadly.

"Haha, he's sad because he can't see his little girlfriend anymore." Oliver laughed out.

"Teacher!" Blake called out.

"Haha, I'll stop talking about it." Oliver laughed out again.

"Do you want my help? I might not be good at many things, but in matters concerning women, I can proudly call myself an expert." Klaus said while thumping his chest.

Blake glared at Klaus, if not for the fact that they were still in the open he would've already started beating him up.

"You know, I even wrote a book about how to get and handle a woman, why don't I give you a copy, how does that sound?" Klaus asked.

"That's it!" Blake said before grabbing Klaus and spanking his butt with a small lightning hand he created, which threw Oliver into a fit of laughter.

They had always had the relationship of a family, Blake became Oliver's student a few years after Klaus was born, they had always taken each other as brothers, with Blake being the responsible elder brother, and Klaus being the naughty younger brother who caused problems wherever he went.

While Blake was still teaching Klaus a lesson, he suddenly jolted and looked ahead of them.

"Why are you bullying him?" A delicate voice was heard ahead of them as a young lady who covered part of her face leaving only her eyes visible appeared from the side of the bush on the pathway.

"Delia…" Blake muttered softly, letting go of Klaus who fell on the ground.

"Oh, she's back? I knew she would return, this was why I refused to give you the book." Klaus said loudly, making sure Delia heard him.

Blake tried closing Klaus' mouth as soon as he started speaking, but he was unfortunately too late. He knew whatever Klaus was going to say was nothing good. Being close to him since he was young, he knew Klaus would find a way to get back at him for beating him.

"What book?" Delia asked curiously as she approached the group.

Blake gave Klaus a death stare, but the only thing he saw in Klaus' eyes was a young fearless bastard. Oliver laughed when he realized Klaus was about to start one of his pranks again, and Blake was his unfortunate target.

"Bribe me, or else I'll spill everything," Klaus whispered in Blake's ear before Delia got close to them.

"I didn't even do anything!" Blake felt like crying, Klaus was someone who wouldn't admit defeat easily.

"She's already close. Well, your time is up." Klaus said before moving closer to Delia, Blake tried getting hold of his hand, but he quickly escaped.

"What book did he ask you to give to him?" Delia asked with her delicate and serene voice.

Klaus threw a wicked smile at Blake before saying, "It's a book titled 'How To Get And Handle A Woman Properly'."

"Oh!" Delia blinked and looked at Blake oddly.

'Hehe, this will teach him not to mess with me.' Klaus thought.

Since he knew he couldn't beat Blake physically, then he might as well torture him emotionally, or in this case, get Delia to do the dirty work for him.

"It's not what you think. He's saying rubbish, you can ask Teacher, he can vouch for me." Blake said nervously.

Oliver laughed as the group continued walking while Blake tried to settle the small chaos Klaus caused. Blake was finally able to settle things with Delia after some time, of course, Klaus would occasionally butt in, be he gave them some time to talk since he could see how much Blake missed her.

"Teacher, did you know she would be here?" Blake approached Oliver and asked.

"Nope." Oliver shook his head with a smile.

"Oh really, then why were you so adamant that we should take this route?" Blake asked with a sneer.

"Because of my gut feelings," Oliver replied which made Klaus burst into laughter.

It had been a long time since he saw his father this carefree, it was almost like being the Principal and Mayor changed him. Thankfully, he had stepped down from both positions.
