From MC's Perspective:
Monster Zone,
After spending some hours in practice, I got up from the ground. So far no monsters spotted nearby. I decided to rush deep into the woods.
A few minutes later,
Hiss!
I stopped my movements after hearing the hissing sound. No doubt it's a snake monster. In my perception, I caught the shadow of the monster near me. When I turned toward the spot, I see the shadow behind a giant shade tree.
Swish!
I disappeared from the spot and moved closer to the monster. I see a completely brown color snake coiled around under the tree. My appearance immediately alerted the monster.
Hiss!
The snake moved instantly, the whole body and it appeared to be 20 meters in length. When the snake monster raised its head, I already leaped backward.
"Class -4 Brown Snake," I said in my heart. This is one of the most dangerous monsters in the Class-4 type.
I stood in the same spot and stared at the snake. I didn't plan on using the black sword. I'm going to test my finger technique. The Snake suddenly rushed towards me. Seeing that, I pointed my fingers at the monster's head and released the technique.
Swish!
The purple beam shot at the monster. Before the snake could realize it, the beam penetrated the head of the monster.
Pfff!
The shot left a small hole in its head. The next moment monster dropped dead on the ground. This all happened in a couple of seconds. Seeing the effectiveness of the finger technique, my mouth curved into an arc.
I walked forward and took out the black sword to collect the monster's core. The process was over in a minute. After collecting the monster core and corpse, I moved further into the woods.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
2 hours later,
After spending some time testing the lightning finger technique in combat. I returned to the nearest teleportation point to return. Most of the teleportation points are located on the outskirts. After activating the signal, I disappeared from the spot and returned to the tower.
When I appeared there was no one beside me. Seeing that my eyes flickered with a slight glint. Looks like the warrior from the flame faction didn't know about my current whereabouts. Then I walked toward the dorm.
Meanwhile,
Giant Tower,
A high-level meeting is taking place because of a seed candidate.
In the meeting room, Eduard Ortega the Super Elite Warrior is standing in front of several elders of the academy.
"Eduard, are you sure the seed candidate named Zack is a lightning element warrior?" One of the bald elders is asked who just came back from the mission.
The news about the new lightning element warrior is already spread widely among the academies. And some of the elders knew about this right after the competition. But the meeting was delayed due to the absence of some key elders.
"It's true elder, the news is admitted by the Saw Scale Viper Academy's spokesperson," He replied with a solemn expression on his face.
Hearing that expression of some of the Elders changes drastically. While others remained silent as they knew about this.
"What are we going to do now?"
"The lightning element warrior will have a bright future in Inner Post. I guess it will be a matter of time before the Saw Scale Viper Academy sends the kid to the Inner Post," A certain elder voiced out of his worry.
The Giant Tower Organization is hostile to the Army Federation. And the Saw Scale Viper Academy comes under the Federation as well. So these people don't like to see such a strong talent rising in the opposite camp.
"We must kill that kid in bud. Once he goes to the Inner Post, then it will become difficult to take action."
Seeing the fierce aura coming from the elders, Eduard Ortega broke out in cold sweat. It's challenging to stand in front of oppressive pressure. When it comes to that lightning kid, he feels it is a done deal.
All the Elders appeared to be on the same page. But suddenly the memories of humiliation come to his mind. He recalled that everyone was crushed by the terrifying figure at that time.
His back went cold the next moment. He doesn't know where the powerhouse is from the Saw Scale Viper Academy or some other force. He thinks it's necessary to share the details.
But he saw everyone is seriously discussing and he don't want to interrupt them. Suddenly the dean noticed his expression and allowed him to speak.
Eduard then spoke about the terrifying powerhouse who made them despair at that time.
When he finished his words, the atmosphere quieted down all of a sudden.
The Dean's face is solemn, and he asked, "Is the Saw Scale Viper Academy hiding another powerhouse?"
Hearing that other Elders pondered.
"As far as we know that kid comes from a Tie-8 city. His parents seem to die from a monster breakout. Later a small local officer from the federation adopted him. So the kid's background is quite clear," an elder from the intelligence department said.
Hearing that dean frowned. If the information is true, then who could be? A doubt appeared in his heart.
Suddenly a white-haired elder from the corner commented, "Maybe from the inner post?"
Gasp!
A sudden exclamation broke out in the room.
"No way"
"It's absurd" the rest of the elders immediately refuted. Because this claim is too farfetched.
Even the Dean furrowed his eyebrows in displeasure. He said, "No one from the inner post can come here, because the space here is weak. If anyone enters our outer post then it will cause a heavy burden on our weak space."
The white-haired elder from the corner remained silent. Because he knows Dean's words were true. But he still feels in his heart that another way is not impossible. But that requires powerful treasure or someone with a high degree of control in space elements.
Seeing that no one is talking anymore, the Dean waved his hand and said," Alright, I think that powerhouse might be the hidden hand of the Saw Scale Viper Academy. As long as the powerhouse is related to Outermost, we can take action without worrying about anything."
"So let's begin our discussion about how to kill that kid, "the dean said.
Hearing that quiet atmosphere began to activate again.
Eduard Ortega stood petrified. He hopes that someone would let him leave. He can't stand against the oppressive aura anymore.
The Dean noticed the struggle of Eduard. So he said, "Alright, you can leave now."
Eduard sighed in relief, the next second he immediately walked out of the meeting place.
After leaving the meeting room, he once again exhaled in relief.
Beep!
Then he received a message from Harvey Kim. Seeing that he rushed to a safe spot before attending the call.
After a couple of seconds, he attended the call. "Hey, what do you want?" Eduard Ortega asked with impatient. He knows this person called him for collecting the information.
Harvey Kim on the other side of the call sneered inside. But he calmly asked," Our Academy has decided to assassinate that kid. So what about you?"
Eduard Ortega's heart skips a beat. He had never expected this person to be bold. For a moment, he remained silent.
Harvey Kim's eyes raised his eyebrows in surprise. "This brute man knows something," he muttered in his heart.
Eduard Ortega shook his head and said," I don't know what the meeting is going on currently."
Hearing that Harvey Kim feels disappointed. Then he ended the call abruptly.
Eduard Ortega stood dumbfounded staring at the blank screen. "This b@stard," he cursed at this shameless person. Eduard knows like himself, Harvey Kim also looking for revenge.
Then shaking his head, he immediately left the spot.
Meanwhile,
Inside the meeting room, everyone arrived on the same page after some discussion.
The Dean said," Alright, we can send a few strong students for the upcoming exchange. Let them challenge that lightning kid in a duel and kill him."
Hearing that everyone nodded their head in support. Seeing the response, the dean nodded his head in satisfaction. Earlier, most of them wanted to arrange some assassination mission to kill that kid named Zack.
But he was strongly against the assassination. He doesn't want any mishap to happen and get caught. If it was a student exchange, the killing of the lightning kid won't get big.
After some further discussion, the meeting ended. A similar kind of meeting is taking place in Red Moon Tower, they are not aggressive as the Giant Tower and the Eclipse Academy.
But if there is the opportunity they won't hesitate to kill Zack.
Similarly, the Silver Clouds Academy didn't plan on taking aggressive action. But that doesn't mean they won't teach that kid a lesson. Because they don't want to offend the Federation for a trifling lightning element kid. The special element is rare, but their academy too got the special element warrior who is none other than June Shelton.
Strangely, the White Palace decided to stay out of the trouble. They have become weak. Instead of offending others, they wanted to focus on increasing their strength.
