From MC's perspective:
After ending the call, I changed my direction and headed to meet the dean. The people who are following me were surprised.
But soon many of them start gathering in the main arena.
A few minutes later,
I reached the dean's office and entered the room. As usual the dean is waiting for my arrival. I stepped forward to take a seat and sat opposite to her.
Dean Rebecca smiled brightly. When Zack entered the room. She felt the surging energy from Zack's badly.
"Looks like the high peak mountain turned out to be a blessing," Dean Rebecca said with a smile.
When her words reached my ears. I felt the assumption turned out to be true. She wants to know about the high peak mountain.
Should I tell her about those red moon tower warriors?
"Dean, the teleportation point was close to the high peak mountain. So I managed to reach the foot of the mountain under pouring rain."
"But shortly after I spotted red moon tower warriors. They came to collect herbs near the foot of the mountain," I replied calmly.
Rebecca's eyes flickered with a slight glint. She almost forgot about the importance of that place.
From time to time the red moon tower allows their students to visit there.
"It's good as long as you don't get caught. Otherwise, it would become difficult for us to even save you," Rebecca said in a serious tone.
It's not guaranteed whether they would spare Zack's life if they caught him.
I nodded in response. But she isn't aware of my capabilities. With perception alone, I can avoid a lot of dangers.
"Okay, you can get ready for the duel," Rebecca said.
Then I got up from the seat and walked out of her cabin.
Several minutes later,
I reached the duel arena. I took the participants' entrance and followed the path. Last time, I signed the papers before the duel.
When I walked inside. I found no staff yet to come. But the door to the arena was opened.
Seeing that I walked toward the door. When I stepped outside, I saw the whole view of the arena. Hundreds of empty seats came into view.
In the middle of the ground, there is this duel platform.
After taking a good look at the massive structure, I walked back to the registration spot and found the chair to sit down on.
Right now, no one is here. I can use this time to sit and relax.
1. Sword Divide: Big wheel (Beginner)
2. Lightning Wheel: Big wheel (Beginner)
3. Lightning Phantom: Big wheel (Beginner)
4. Blood Field Technique: Small wheel (Intermediate)
5. Soul Tower Method: Small wheel (Beginner)
6. Soul Needle Art: Small wheel ( Beginner)
7. Lightning finger technique: (Beginner)
I reviewed the techniques in my mind. The Sword Divide and Lightning Wheel would consume more purple essence compared to the Lightning finger technique.
So I decided to try the Lightning finger technique. If the opponent is too hard to difficult then I will choose other methods to end him.
"Brandon uh?" I mumbled. I hope this guy will give me a tough time.
Then I closed my eyes and began to wait.
Meanwhile,
The Metal Faction Head, Marcus Lin is receiving messages from other faction heads.
They want to hear his opinion. Everyone is waiting to see whether Brandon can win against Zack Lockwood.
Even the Vice-dean Franklin asked him casually the other day. But last night the news came out as unexpected.
He too has seen the rude post yesterday. Earlier, the students are impatient regarding Zack's decision.
He feels the rude post triggered Zack to make such a fast decision. Anyways, he was happy. He got chance to show the other factions about metal faction warriors fighting techniques.
So today's duel is going to be important. He knows Zack is strong under Super Elite. But at the same time he wants to see the progression of Brandon.
Time went by,
As the time for duel gets closer. Dean Rebecca allowed students of A grade institute to watch the duel.
So the warriors from the Flame Faction, Rain/Water Faction, Gale/Wind Faction, Rock Faction and Metal Faction are entering the duel arena.
Meanwhile,
The Special Faction Common Room was occupied by three people as usual. Like last time, they have planned to watch the duel live from here.
Michael, Laverne and Ernest were sitting in their seats comfortably.
"What happened to Zack?"
"He approved the duel all of a sudden. I thought he was training hard the other day," Ernest said.
A quick glint flashes in Michael's eyes. Actually the newcomer Zack made him more interested. Lightning element is so domineering that he wanted to fight Zack when he reached their level.
But Zack's sudden show of strength shows that he can perform missions with them. If Zack can defeat Peak Elite warrior without breaking sweat. Then he can fight against Class 5 Monsters.
For some reason after that day he avoided their proposal. Ever since then this question weighed down his mind.
Suddenly, a good idea struck his mind. Next time, he decided to follow Zack to the monster zone and see what he is up to?
Laverne as usual didn't think that deeply. Three of them have their opinions when it comes to Zack Lcokwood.
Meanwhile, Brandon Hurst walks out of the metal faction common room and heads to the duel arena with his team members.
Duel Arena,
I was greeted by the staff. They are surprised to see me sitting here alone. After nodding at them, I continued to wait.
There is still half an hour left before the start of the duel.
Several minutes later,
Brandon Hurst came here to sign papers. Seeing me he was surprised. He asked,"You came early."
I smiled and replied,"I want to end the match quicker before going to the dorm."
Hearing that Brandon's face turned ugly. He purposely tries to probe Zack's base. But he didn't find anything.
He gave a slight snort before signing the papers.
After he entered the duel area. Seeing that I stood up as well and processed to finish the procedures.
After signing, I walked into the ground slowly.
At this time, the atmosphere of the duel arena is different. It was silent a couple of hours ago. Now I can hear loud noises.
As far as I can see the seats were filled with people.
After reaching the duel platform, I stepped forward and made direct eye contact with Brandon Harsh.
The Conference room,
"It's happening," Rebecca muttered, looking at the screen.
Right now, all the faction heads are sitting inside the conference room including Vice-dean Franklin and the Metal Faction Head, Marcus Lin.
Dean Rebecca wants to stress the importance of the year end conference after this duel. Though the faction heads are proud of their students.
She wants them to motivate the warriors further.
If Zack wins the duel, Brandon has to work harder to improve his strength.
Vice-dean Franklin seated expressionless. He knows Zack is a special person because of powerful background.
So the dean is paying special attention to him. He is aware that the dean has given special privileges to Zack so that he can enter any monster zones under the Academy.
It's a partial treatment. And it's unfair to the top warriors of the academy. He always wanted to confront the dean about this.
Fortunately, she called for this meeting. If Zack loses to Brandon, he decides to bring up the issue before everyone.
Whereas Marcus Lin is hoping Brandon will fight well.
Duel Arena,
[The official duel starts now.]
When the announcement came. I see Brandon making his first move.
I raised my hand and pointed fingers at Brandon to release the 1st stage of lightning finger technique.
The powerful lightning gathers at the tip of my fore finger in the blink of an eye.
Cheer~
The crowd let out a huge cheer in response.
The next moment, a purple beam shot at the target.
Brandon didn't get flustered. He forms a round metal shield in thin air to defend himself.
When the powerful beam collides with the shield.
Boom~
A loud boom reverberated throughout the arena.
The collision resulted in an explosion. The next second, smoke quickly covered the whole duel platform.
Gasp!
The warriors exclaimed in surprise witnessing the lightning power. The lightning element is rare. Not every day the warriors from other factions can witness the strength of the Special element warrior.
When the smoke cleared. Brandon's appearance came into view. The silver color round shield got black mark in the middle.
Seeing that my eyes gleamed with twinkle. Brandon started to use peak elite power from the get go.
"Harumph," Brandon gave a cold snort before forming several metal spikes in mid air.
Cheer~
Seeing this move the warriors from the metal faction erupted in loud cheer. The sharp spike technique is one of the killing moves of the metal faction warriors.
They didn't expect to see this move from the start.
Brandon shot several sharp spikes at me. They are coming at full speed. Without concentration, it's difficult to see each spike.
