Saw Scale Viper Academy:
The Academy once again returned to normal. As all the faction heads came back from their mission. The uneasiness present in the academy was swept away completely.
Dean office,
"Carlos, I saw your report. Are you sure about his disappearance?" Rebecca asked.
The person is none other than Special Faction Head Carlos Kent.
His expression was neutral without any disappointment. He replied,"I had searched the nook and corner of all the important places. But somehow that person was not in my radar."
Rebecca frowned. It's not easy to escape from their territory. Because there is a space barrier blocking the borders.
Unless he finds his way back to Viper City. It's impossible to stay in one place. Because she has increased the activity of patrolling.
Now more guards are protecting the borders and keeping an eye on their surroundings. She sighed. She doesn't want such a threat to lurk in their city.
"What about the leader? In your report, you stated that he was injured. What level is he at?" Rebecca asked.
She thought the leader was like her in strength. But the report says something else.
Carlos revealed a small smile on his face.
"You don't have to worry about that pest. He had burnt his blood essence to escape from me. Otherwise, I would have caught him," Carlos said.
At that time, he was caught off guard by such tactics. He never expected him to be cowardly.
Rebecca's eyes gleamed with twinkle. Now that is good news. Hearing in person detail from Carlos, she can rest her heart at ease.
The blood burning is not a secret technique. Warriors use such a forbidden technique under desperate situations. The technique provides them with explosive strength for a short period of time.
When the power expires, then the body will be injured severely.
Rebecca nodded her head. She said,"If that's the case then we can rest assured. Even if he surfaces again, we will capture him."
Carlos nodded. Then suddenly he remembered something.
He asked,"Franklin told me that. There is a new kid in my faction."
Rebecca's expression turned serious. It was something she wanted to talk to him about. But she got no opportunity since he was in retreat.
Now she has time to explain something.
Carlos was confused by her reaction. But he waited for her to speak.
"He is a bright kid. His name is Zack Lockwood. A lightning element user. His strength is at Mid-level- Elite. He will be here for 1 and half years before leaving," Rebecca said.
A quick glint flashes in Carlos's eyes.
"Lightning element?" He uttered in surprise. Even among the special elements the lightning element is rare. Even for the entire region, there was no 2nd warrior with the same element.
But the surprise appeared in his eyes for a moment before it disappeared. He kept his usual bearing of a Faction Head.
Rebecca seriously observed the expression of Carlos. Because she doesn't want any clash between him and Zack Lockwood.
"And one more thing. I don't want you to disturb him," Rebecca added.
"What do you mean?"Carlos asked back. He knitted his eyebrows in confusion.
Sigh~
A small sigh left her mouth. She knew she had to explain the crux of the matter.
"He is a special student unlike others. He is here for a short period. Then he will enter the inner post," She replied.
Carlos pupil constrict. The matter of the inner post is not a joke. Only qualified warriors are eligible to enter the Inner Post.
Come to think of it. It was not rare for talented warriors to enter the inner post. Many of the geniuses in the past have gone there.
They are sent by the academy itself. So he doesn't know what is the difference between the two.
Rebecca can see that he still does not understand. But she can't reveal the identity of the person behind Zack Lockwood. It was top secret.
But she can warn him.
"Carlos, Zack have already found some background. I strongly advise you not to offend him," Rebecca said.
Carlos was stupefied. He looked at her again in surprise. She is telling it for real.
"I'm the Special Faction Head. He is under my faction. So it's normal for me to teach him."
"Are you saying that? I'm not even allowed to do that,"he asked.
"You can do that. As long as he is fine with it," Rebecca replied. She feels defeated right now.
Carlos nodded his head before standing up. He can't wait to see his new student. When he got close to the door.
"Mind you, it's not my words. But it's the supreme elder's orders."
He heard a voice from behind. Hearing he paused his movements for a moment before walking out.
"Trouble," Rebecca massaged her temple. She knows about Carlos's temper. He won't be the same every time.
She hopes that Zack will get a good impression of him.
After walking out of the building, Carlos walked to the Special Faction Common Room. It's been some time since he has seen his member.
A few minutes later,
He walked into the hall. Seeing him, the other faction warriors are surprised. But some of the senior students recognised him at first glance.
Their expression turned pale with fright. Unlike the newcomers who are inquiring about him. The old students immediately fled from the place.
Carlos didn't mind the gazes of warriors. He casually verified his identity before opening the door to enter.
Seeing him entering the special faction common room. Others mistook him for a special element warrior. They quickly snapped some pictures and were ready to post them online.
Carlos entered the living room but he found no one here. Usually, this place was occupied by one or two members.
Then shaking his head he sat on the sofa.
He wants to update himself with the latest happenings. He began to access his sci-fi watch which was filled with notification.
Time passed,
Carlos learnt what had happened after his retreat. When the news about Zack Lockwood comes up. He became interested.
He starts to read the information. But shortly after, his face frowned. Because he is looking at the information on Zack Lockwood's duel against the warriors from the Giant Tower.
As he continues to read the information. His face became more ugly. Because he is currently viewing the duel video. The duel was not about the Special Factio vs Giant Tower.
It looks like Zack Lockwood vs Giant Tower. Then he continues to read further articles. Again most of the articles talking about Zack Lockwood's solo monster hunt.
He is rarely seen with other special faction warriors. Then he saw one more duel. It was against the Flame Faction.
Even there it was all about Zack Lockwood. There were no other Special Faction warriors behind him.
"What is going on?" Carlos muttered to himself. He even doubts whether Zack had met with other members.
When the video was over. Another video pops up, it was a duel against Metal Faction. Seeing that veins begin to pop up in his forehead.
He controlled his dissatisfaction before viewing the video. Then he saw Zack Lockwood appearing with Michael, Ernest and Laverne.
Seeing them his eyebrows ease down a little bit. Then he saw Zack defeating the metal faction warrior. When the duel was over. He fell into deep contemplation.
He recalled Dean's words again. No wonder, she told him he is a bit special. But since Zack is a Special Faction Warrior. He has a responsibility to teach him something.
Creak~
When he was lost in thought. He heard footsteps.
Ernest and Laverne entered the room together. Both stopped their footsteps, right after seeing the faction head.
Their eyes were filled with shock. Both knew their head was back from the mission. But when they saw the online photo, they immediately left their dorm room to come here.
Carlos finally felt their presence. He raised his head to see their appearance.
"Oh, you guys are here," Carlos said with a smile.
Ernest and Laverne greeted him with a smile.
Carlos asked them to take a seat. Laverne and Ernest immediately sat down on the sofa.
"So, who is Zack Lockwood?" He asked.
Ernest and Laverne looked at each other. They are surprised to hear Zack's name from their mouth.
Ernest immediately said,"Head, he is our new member. He is pretty strong."
Laverne also echoed the same opinion as well.
"Oh," Carlos raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Then where is he now?" He asked back.
"This?" Ernest hesitated. He wasn't able to guess Head's mood.
Does he want to meet him? Or something else.
Ernest turned towards Laverne for help. But she was also in a dilemma.
Carlos chuckled and asked,"Don't worry. I'm just asking casually?"
Ernest,"Head, he usually stays in his dorm room. Apart from going to the library, he spends most of the time alone."
"Yes, head. He prefers to spend time alone. He rarely comes here," Laverne added.
Carlos shook his head in disappointment. He can see that these two are friends with Zack Lockwood.
Maybe he should summon him directly.
