(From MC Perspective)
The following day,
I woke up a bit earlier to travel. After getting ready, I went downstairs and wrote a reminder about my trip to Mountain Liz. After placing it one the table, I walked out. I had already told Uncle about my plan yesterday night. So I'm not worried about my sudden departure.
Time Progresses,
I boarded the train to Mt. Liz on time. After sitting in the window seat, I again checked the weather forecast. Deep down, I actually want it to rain heavily. Heavy rain with thunderstorms is the perfect place to practice the lightning element.
"Hi, Are you the same Zack Lockwood who ranked Top in Star Tower Competition." A girl with brown curly hair asked me suddenly. She sat opposite to me and looked at me with expectation.
Her sudden question caught me off guard. "Sure, You can't hide it for so long." I muttered to myself while shaking my head.
"What?" The Curly hair girl asked back again. She leaned little forward to heart Zack's word clearly.
"Oh.oh.wait Miss, I'm not the person you are looking for" I immediately leaned backward by seeing her behavior. "Don't tell me she is my little fan" I cried in my heart.
"Hmmm, No way! You both look Same." The Curly haired girl refuted straight away.
I sighed and shut my eyes off. She won't disturb me, If I sleep. So I begin to act till the train reaches the destination.
The other hand, the brown curly haired girl with a frowny face searches the server. She didn't doubt her judgement, the person is sitting opposite is exactly the same person. But inorder to verify, She checks it again through her sci-fi watch.
Soon, the page of Star Tower opened up. She taps on the page of Leaderboard Ranking. Where the image of the rankers were posted along with their rank, name and address.
She immediately scrolls down the page to see the top rankings. In the No.1 Rank, Image of Zack is very clearly visible and name was also mentioned in Block Letters.
Seeing that her smile curved a little, she raised her head to size up the opposite person. But seeing him decisively closed his eyes, she smiled even more.
After making sure, She laid back in her seat and uttered, "Liar!" Her eyes set on Zack's face for any changes. But sadly, she saw no more change in expression.
Then she captured the sleeping image of Zack and saved it in her sci-fi match. After doing it, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Zack is her idol, She closely watched the progression of his ranking in the Star Tower.
By knowing that a unknown person from unknown institute leads the leaderboard ranking by overtaking the warrior of all other famous faction. She became fan instantly.
Shaking her head, She sets her mind on the outside scenery.
Time progresses,
Several hours later, the train reaches the Mountain Liz's Station.
At that moment, I decided to open my eyes. When I opened my eyes, "You are finally awake." The Curly haired curly said.
I'm surprised to see her but I didn't answer her questions. I came here to practise alone and secret. I don't want to be known by anyone at this point of time. I twitched seeing that it's almost impossible to get away if she follows me.
As the train slowly came to halt, I hurriedly left without waiting for her reply.
Once I stepped out, I walked towards the exit. I'm already familiar with the route. So it won't take much time to reach my usual camping site.
The Curly haired girl is stupefied by his actions. She wants to follow Zack, but she retracts her mind. She almost forgot her own plan. After taking one glance at him, She decided to do her work.
"Wow, this place is the same as always." I muttered while looking at the huge mountain ahead. I walked slowly towards the bottom of the mountain. It's impossible to reach the top, last time I remember. I avoided camping near some of the peaks.
I smiled and continued walking. From time to time, I look back to see whether the girl is following me back or not. After confirming there was no one, I confidently went ahead.
The other hand, the Curly haired girl walked out slowly after picking up her huge backpack.
Her backpack looked oversized compared to her lean body. Looking at the under crowded station, she couldn't help but feel surprised. She heard from her friends that this place was the best location for camping.
For this purpose alone, She took a long journey to come to this place. "Mountain Liz!" She muttered as the gigantic mountain came to her view.
Some of her friends had already visited this place. So they made a comprehensive map based on their visit. She did not hurriedly walk towards the maintenance. Instead she chooses the place to sit down and understand the map.
She wants to know the best location for the camping. She accessed the map through the sci-fi watch. This huge mountain has several peaks on it. Her friends noted only a few places on the map.
From a few of these noted places, she picks up the closest one to reach. Since it's her first time to camp here, she doesn't want to get into a dangerous situation. A few minutes later, she finally chooses three spots. Which is near to the bottom of the mountain. In case there is any trouble, she can choose to leave right away.
After figuring it out, She stood up from her seat and walked towards the location. Coincidentally, her direction is the same as Zack. But at this time Zack had already gone a little deeper. So it's impossible for both of them to meet right now unless she camps at the same exact site as him.
"Wizz!"
A Pseudo Monster leaped all of a sudden, the next moment I hacked it with my Black Sword and there was no suspense in it.
