Sir. Lowell McClain would rarely smile. But this time seeing his bright mood, Mr. Jonathan couldn't control his inner curiosity. So he asked with some hesitation, " Master, is there any good news?"
"Ha...Ha...ha..." Sir. Lowell McClain let out a hearty laughter. Looking at curious Jonathan before him, He smiled and said, "Yes, There is indeed some good news!" Then he added, "The recent red level mission went without any mishap. On top of it there is no loss of live"
Mr. Jonathan dumbfounded hearing that, "How could it be? He knows the dangerous Red level mission. To return successfully without loss of life, it's a great achievement." He thought to himself.
Suddenly a thought rose in his heart, he wondered in his heart, "What was their mission? And who completed it." But soon he trampled those thoughts. He almost forgot that such missions were kept in secrecy.
He asked casually but he hadn't expected the Master to answer him. So he tight lipped about this matter.
Seeing Mr. Jonathan's sudden change in attitude. Sir. Lowell McClain pleased, the one quality he appreciates about Jonathan is that he knows his bottom line. So he suddenly changed the topic back to important.
"How is my disciple?" He asked.
Mr. Jonathan expected his question, so he answered immediately, "Master, Zack is fine. He recently broke through to become a Special Trainee." When he said Special Trainee. He means essence Cultivation. Zack doesn't reveal to anyone that he is double repair.
Sir. Lowell McClain nodded, He is simply pleased with his new disciple. If top cultivation techniques with enough resources can be guaranteed. He is sure that Zack will be no less than the inner posta genius warrior. But it's a pity that Zack was born in outerpost. It will take some time for him to leap over the gate.
"Well, It's okay. The current situation of Zack is fine. But I'm more impressed with his Star Performance." Sir. Lowell McClain smilingly said.
Jonathan slightly smacked his forehead hearing that. "I almost forgot about this matter." He cursed in his heart.
Mr. Jonathan commented, "Uh, Master. I almost forgot to say something."
"Hmmm" Sir. Lowell McClain became interested in seeing his flustered expression. He gestures to him to continue.
"Master, Zack told me something about the 19th floor." Mr. Jonathan said while looking at his expression. Then he continues by saying, "In that 19th floor, Zack mentioned that he came across some special beast"
"Special Beast?" Sir. Lowell McClain furrows his eyebrows hearing that then he inquired, "Did he mention that Monster's appearance?"
Mr. Jonathan nodded and reiterated what Zack told him. After explaining , he looks at his master's expression. He seems to be in deep thinking. "Looks like the Master is too suspicious about it," He said to himself.
He suspected as earlier when Zack mentioned it to him. But he doesn't want to jump to conclusions too quickly. That's why he told Zack that he is clueless about the monster. Right now after looking at his master's expression. He had a vague feeling that might be a special beast belonging to the inner post.
But if it's true then how come the spirit phantom is placed in outerpost Star Tower. "It's truly unfair to that kid. Otherwise he had potential to breach above 20th floor." Mr. Jonathan thought to himself.
"Interesting!"
"There were too many monsters here that had similar appearances. But beasts were different categories, these creatures which had a strong bloodline with high potential. On top of their intelligence is no less than our human beings." Sir. Lowell McClain muttered under his breath.
He doesn't know whether Zack exaggerated the information or not. But it's hard to believe the appearance of such a beast spirit in the Star Tower Challenge. It can only be confirmed after looking at it in person whether it's monster family or beast family.
But since it's phantom his interest fades away immediately. If it's an actual alive beast, this matter can be discussed. Yet Sir. Lowell McClain felt even more pleased with Zack.
He wants Zack to get into the inner post as quickly as possible. Suddenly, an idea came to his mind.
Looking at Jonathan infront of him he said, "So Do you know anything about the Crimson Hall event."
Mr. Jonathan surprised but he quickly replied, " Master, I heard this time they had planned to conduct it as early as possible "
"Harumph" Sir. Lowell McClaon snorts immediately. He knows their abacus. Ever since they track down the perpetrators of the Killing list. He found out who were active participants and sponsors. He feels disdain to trample them.
This Crimson Hall is also one of the active participants. They had actively participated and killed so many talented young warriors so far. So their Crimson Hall's next is also one of their killing methods.
"Tap" "Tap"
While tapping his finger, He ponders.
Mr. Jonathan stood in silence. He doesn't know what his Master is planning. But thinking about Crimson Hall's exhibition event. He suspects the Master is planning something. Once his Master is done he will have his next task. So he plans to wait patiently.
Time progresses,
A few minutes later, Sir. Lowell McClain let out a deep sigh. He seems to have arrived at some decision. Looking at Jonathan he said, "I decided to watch the Crimson Hall's little what"
"What?" Jonathan dumbfounded. He couldn't believe his own ears. He hurriedly answered, "Master, Outerpost is banned. With Our powers it's impossible to enter inside." Jonathan knows horrors of his master's power s. If he enters inside it will drastically change the landscape. Then the entire outpost will be killed.
Sir. Lowell McClain smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm going there for fun not to kill." He chuckled seeing scared expression of Jonathan. "For now, take some rest, if there is a mission, I'll call you." After saying that he gestures to him to leave.
Jonathan gulped his saliva he didn't dare to refute anymore. So he immediately left the hall.
Sir. Lowell McClain actually decided to analyse Zack's strength in person. If possible he will meet him and give some pointers. Zack had already shown tremendous potential. With his pointers if he can gain much more strength, then it would be useful for Zack. He will gain a foothold once he gets into the academy.
Then sooner or later, Zack will enter into the inner post. But coming back to Crimson Hall's exhibition event. This also a test he gave to Zack. There is something in rewards which is helpful to his lightning system. If he can get it then he passed his little test.
Earlier, He was under pressure with different issues. His mind was in dealing with inner post works. Now that the red level mission is over. There will be some buffer time here after. So he can use this time to see his disciple.
"Sigh"
After sorting out he shut his eyes.
...
(From MC Perspective)
At the same time, Hansen Campus.
Zack is diligently practising lightning phantom technique inside the combat room.
"Huh, this technique has nine levels. But it's getting hard to grasp level 1 itself." I muttered while massaging my temple.
This technique is a little profound to grasp. Looks like I need to spend more time understanding it. I sighed realising that I had spent four unknowingly.
Suddenly, an idea came to my mind.
If there is any treasure to improve my mind, I'm sure it will help me grasp some meaning in level one. I'm not sure it will help improve my aptitude. But it's better to try out my luck. Instead of wasting time here, I guess it's best to see something valuable.
After sorting out my thoughts, I exited the combat room and headed directly towards Mr. Arthur's room. He had already sent me a message about it. But I'm too involved in studying lightning technique.
Sometimes later,
"Creak" the door slid open.
"Mr. Arthur, Where is it?" I hurriedly asked after stepping inside Mr. Arthur's room. Seeing my flustered expression, Mr. Arthur who is sitting behind his desk chuckled.
"It's very rare to see your flustered expression. Where is that Calm and composed Zack" after saying that he takes out a low end storage ring.
"Here is your treasure. Take it practice well. And Most importantly don't use this treasure for quick promotion. Otherwise it will leave you with an unstable foundation.''Seeing Zack's eager expression Mr. Arthur solemnly advised.
He fears Zack will use it one go. So advised repeatedly.
"Cough" "Cough"
"Mr. Arthur, Thank you for your hard work. But don't worry. I know the sense of measure. " I answered looking at his expression.
But looks like he didn't get convinced from my words. Shaking my head, I added, " Mr. Arthur, I didn't even use my Star Tower rewards. Do you think their treasures were higher grade than them" My voice sounded a little sad.
Mr. Arthur's expression changed drastically. He got up from his seat and tapped my shoulder. "It's fine, I trust you completely." Mr. Arthur said wryly.
