Gathering allies

Forest of Truth

After returning from the private space, Mike's first stop was to visit Professor Gregory. 

Void Maelstrom was definitely on his agenda. 

However, Mike had one lingering concern. 

"I've been gone for so long. How am I supposed to explain this to the school?" 

Professor Gregory, understanding Thor's desire to keep his identity hidden, quickly addressed Mike's concern. 

He used the simplest solution possible. 

"Ding—" 

Mike's communicator buzzed with a notification: 

"The short semester will end tomorrow. Summer vacation will last two months. The reopening date will be announced later. Students are free to make their own arrangements during the break..." 

Superpower universities worldwide had suddenly gone on break. 

Mike: ... 

Well, that was certainly a straightforward and crude solution! 

For most superpower university students, vacations were still filled with assignments and projects.
