(From MC Perspective)
Hearing her say, Class 5 Monsters. My mind went blank for a moment. Class 5 Monsters literally equal to Elite Warriors in strength. It's too far away from me right now.
If Tier-7 City has such a resource then the upcoming Crimson Hall's Exhibition event will be filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
Who knows how many younger generations will participate in that event? I knitted my eyebrows in confusion.
"Ms. Claire, Who is strongest in Tier-7 City? Especially when comes to our generation." I asked back without glancing at her.
If she can tell me then I will be better prepared. Looks like this trip had really turned fruitful, I smiled while thinking about her knowledge.
Ms. Claire clearly sees that Zack has some worries. Which is clearly visible on his face. Then after hearing his question, she was surprised and asked, "huh, What happened Zack? You don't look good."
I shook my head and replied, "First answer my question, then I'll tell you."
Ms. Claire frowns but still she answered, "It's hard to say, I can't pinpoint one. There were so many young warriors in our Tier-7 city."
Then she added, "But I can tell you about their strength. When it comes to our generation, the strongest warriors have the strength of Trainee Warriors."
"Trainee Warriors!" I uttered in disbelief.
It's one step away from being elite.
Don't tell me Warriors with such strength will participate in that event. I'm quite alarmed even thinking about it.
I thought I could sweep away the place with my current strength. Right now, I couldn't help but smile wryly.
Seeing Zack's gasping expression. Ms. Claire Chuckled and said, "Hey, it's just Initial Trainee Warriors."
I nodded in relief at her words. But still even Initial Trainee Warrior level is quite scary. When it comes to me, I still have two obstacles in my way. One small level- Peak Special Trainee and a big level- Trainee Warrior.
The other hand, Ms. Claire still doesn't know why he is asking about it? At first Zack asked about Tier-7 City, she thought it's due to his curiosity. But now she thinks there is much more than that.
"Zack, Can you tell me right now?" She said,
"Hmmm" I nodded.
I don't plan on hiding the information. She already gave some useful information. Instead of asking her, I can even inquire Uncle and Elder Thornton about it.
But I feel much more at ease when having conversation with warriors of the same age group.
So I said to her, "Do you remember? I asked about Crimson Hall a few seconds ago."
Ms. Claire nodded in surprise.
I smiled and continued, "I'm going to participate in an event conducted by them. Which is going to be held in Tier-7 City?"
"O" Ms. Claire wide opened her mouth. This is literally breaking news for her.
She thought Zack would cultivate in silence after the Star Tower episode. This one really surprised her. For a second, she didn't even talk.
Then a couple of seconds later, Ms. Claire opened her mouth to say, "It's really breaking news for me. I will definitely watch the event."
After saying that she realizes that she doesn't know about the event. So turned towards Zack and asked, "So, What kind of event is it? It's something like Star Tower."
She had already seen Zack's record at Star Tower. So right now she is looking forward to the next event much more.
Star Tower uh? if it's like Star Tower then I would be much more happy. But Crimson Hall is still a small time organisation compared to Star Tower, yet these Villains were acting very mysteriously.
A cold glint flashes in my eyes while thinking about it.
Then looking at her, I replied, "The event is nothing like Star Tower. And it's much more important to me."
After saying I glanced at her, seeing that she is much more interested to hear. I said, " The Crimson Hall Event is conducted to select talented warriors for Academies in Tier-6 City."
"Tier-6 Academy?" Ms. Claire asked with a knowing smile on her face.
I'm taken back by her smile suddenly. Then I added, "Yeah, It's like leaping over dragon gate for me."
Her smile tells me that she knows something.
"Do you know?" I asked with some hesitation. From earlier small chat to Monster Zones, now the conversation is going towards some deep topics.
Ms. Claire instead of replying to Zack's questions. She asked back instead, "Are you thinking about joining Tier-6 Academies?"
I simply nodded to her.
Seeing that she nodded and commented, "If you really want to go Tier-6 Academies, I can ask my Grandfather to give you a recommendation letter. I think with your strength it's easy to get selected. And with a recommendation letter on top of it, I'm sure it will seal your spot."
She said with a huge smile on her face.
This girl? Sure, she really thinks that I don't know her little abacus behind her words. I'm not a fool to get binded by their cultivation family.
If she knows about my teacher then she will get scared. But I think it's enough to stop my conversation right now. If I continue, It will lead to leakage of some information.
"Thank you for your words, Ms. Claire. But I have my own preparation for it." I declined her proposal directly.
Ms. Claire is not stupid to understand his meanings, she simply pouted in reaction to his words. But the next second, she recalled something and answered, "Well, I'm looking forward to the performance anyway. Then I'll know about it."
Then she added, "I'm going to join Saw Scaled Viper Academy."
When she said that my heart skips a beat. Damn! Is it really a coincidence to meet her here?
For a second, I don't know what to say. So there is a possibility that we might be future classmates. I smiled realizing it.
In Order to not to reveal any flaw, I nodded and commented, "Oh, What a nice name? I don't even have any clue about Tier-7 City. So forget about Tier-6 City. "
