From MC's perspective:
"I think you should stop talking like that Senior," I said to Michael.
My words stunned Michael and others. Ernest looked at me with a pleading gaze. Laverne's mind was blank.
If Michael continues this attitude, this might affect her.
Michael Blevins furrowed his eyebrows. The Younger brother of the faction was acting out of his place. Have they become closer during my absence?
Michael's face turned dark. He was stronger than Zack. So he doesn't mind teaching one or two things.
"Zack, I know you have some kind of backing. But don't interfere in this matter. I'm not doing anything illegal or going against the academy rules."
"If you choose to intervene, then you will face consequences," Michael replied. Then after taking a look at Laverne and Ernest. He left the place.
Looking at his back, I frowned. From his words, I'm certain that the academy won't say anything on this issue.
"Zack, thank you for your help. But this issue was not as light as you think," Ernest opened his mouth to comment.
If he had intervened earlier, then Michael would have gotten angrier.
I nodded at him before turning towards Laverne.
"Senior Sister, I'll talk to the dean. I believe there will be some way to end this issue smoothly," I said to her.
Laverne raised her head to look at Zack. Hereafter, only Zack can save their family from getting oppressed.
"Thank you," Laverne answered. But she was not alright.
Seeing that I sighed inwardly. Then we spoke for a few more minutes before parting ways.
Michael's appearance spoiled our mood and plans. So we decided to go to the monster zone some other day.
On the way, I couldn't help but think of Michael. That guy's changeover was bigger than I had thought. It's hard to accept his real face.
Sigh~
A sigh escaped from my mouth. Soon I reached my room. After changing clothes, I lay down on the bed.
The following day,
9 AM,
After leaving the dorm building, I started to head toward the dining hall. Yesterday, I promised Laverne and Ernest to solve their troubles.
Maybe I should talk to the dean in the morning hours.
After gaining some clarity, I increased my pace. Soon I reached the dining hall. But to my surprise,
One person was missing. Ernest was standing alone and waiting for me. I walked up to him and asked, "What happened to her?"
Ernest looked depressed. From his face, one can tell that things are not right.
"Laverne left for home yesterday. She wanted to meet her family, "He replied.
Hearing that I remained silent. After calming down my heart, I uttered, "Let's go."
Then we walked into the hall and received the food plate from the counter. There is not much to talk about.
We found empty seats to sit down. Then both of us started to eat slowly. From time to time, I couldn't help but look at Ernest.
"Is he hiding something from me?" I said in my heart.
Then pushing down these thoughts, I continued to eat. Due to Laverne's problem, I almost forgot the surrounding gazes on me.
After having breakfast, we walked out of the place.
"Let's go to the dean right now," I said.
Hearing that Ernest's complexion turned better. He didn't expect Zack to act soon. But as long as they can get the dean's help. Everything would be fine.
Then both of us started heading toward the office.
A few minutes late,
We arrived before her cabin. Ernest showed some hesitation. Because we came here without informing her.
But her cabin door opened automatically the next.
Seeing that I smiled and walked inside. Ernest followed my steps after some shock.
Creak~
The door then closed automatically.
"Zack"
"Ernest Kirk"
"What are you guys doing here?" Rebecca asked with a doubtful gaze. She was surprised to see them today.
Then we sat opposite her. Ernest was not in the mood to initiate the conversation.
"Dean, we need your help," After saying that I started to explain Laverne's situation.
At first, Rebecca didn't show any emotions. But as time passed, she knitted her beautiful eyebrows.
The trouble faced by Laverne's family was not small. When the city was first developed. The academy set this condition for them.
If Michael Blevins's father wants to be in charge of the city, then as per academy rules. No one can interfere.
A hint of complexity flashes in her eyes. She has the authority to reverse this decision. But she also knows that it would cause a severe backlash.
The academy's reputation would be tainted. From Zack's words, she can tell that Michael's family is domineering.
And their family head won't stay silent. After some careful thinking, she said, "It's not easy to revoke the decision. But we can settle Laverne's family somewhere."
Hearing that Ernest and I looked at each other. I think this was the best option. Academy won't take their steps back that easily.
"Thank you, Dean. We will inform her," Ernest replied.
Rebecca suddenly thought of something.
She said, "Ernest you can go now. I have something to talk to Zack about."
Hearing that Ernest left the place with a bright mood.
"Zack, are you ready to visit the uneven mountain?" Rebecca asked. She thought it was the best time to visit the uneven mountain.
As long as Zack can increase his strength before the year ends, then it would be good for the academy.
"Right now?" I asked back. I almost forgot about the uneven mountain.
Laverne's problem-filled my mind. I didn't even think about the trip. Then looking at the dean, I nodded at her.
"Good,"
"I have arranged a special aircraft for you"
Dean Rebecca said.
Hearing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I don't know how fast the aircraft is. Jonathan's speed was something else.
Then pushing down these thoughts. I spoke for a few more minutes before leaving the room.
Laverne's problem was solved. Now I can head to the uneven mountain with a clear mind.
But just as I was walking downstairs. I encountered Carlos Kent. "This guy!" I muttered in my heart.
My expression was not good-looking. But to my surprise, Carlos Kent approached me with a smile on his face.
"Zack, what are you doing here?" He asked.
"I came here to see the dean," I replied. But my expression was weird.
He is not the Carlos Kent I knew of. What happened to the arrogant man? The powerful special faction head.
Carlos Kent was helpless inside. He knows the instructions of Jonathan. Jonathan ordered him to help Zack whenever it's possible.
But seeing that Zack is coming from the dean's room. He thought Zack might not need his help.
Then he walked past him with a smile on his face.
On the other hand, I don't know how to react for a moment. When Carlos completely disappeared.
I turned around and continued to walk downstairs. After a few minutes, I reached the transit area.
Then I entered the facility. A huge black aircraft was standing in front of me. Looking at the aircraft, I knew this was arranged for me.
When I was observing the aircraft, two people appeared before me. One was a male warrior and the other one was a female warrior.
A hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes. They don't seem to be ordinary warriors. What is going on?
"You are Zack Lockwood."
"We are here to guide you to the uneven mountain," The male warrior said.
Hearing that a look of understanding dawned on me.
"Maybe they are guards," I said in my heart.
"Alright, let's leave," Then I said to them.
The Male warrior opened the aircraft door. Seeing that I stepped inside the cabin. After closing the door, the male warrior and female warrior looked at each other.
They are none other than the guardians of Zack Lockwood. But the dean asked them not to reveal their identity.
Soon both entered the aircraft. After a few seconds, the black aircraft rose from the ground.
Then the aircraft started moving towards the destination.
Meanwhile,
The Giant Tower Headmaster was trying to contact Carlos Kent. After getting permission from the mysterious person. He wants to rope in Carlos Kent.
Once Carlos Kent joins their team, then the future operations would be much better.
The Headmaster was not the person to give in. Especially after investing so many resources in Carlos Kent. He can't back away.
So he tried to contact him again.
Cabin:
Carlos Kent was sitting behind the desk. He is casually looking into the report files. But all of a sudden, he was interrupted by the call.
When Carlos saw the contact name. His face was darkened. "Why is he calling me right now?" He said to himself.
Then he sat up straight. Jonathan had asked him to collect details about the person behind the Giant Tower Headmaster.
So he can't refuse the call right now. After calming down his nerves, he attended the call.
"Carlos Kent"
"What happened to you?"
"Why are you not attending my call at all?" A loud voice starts to ring in his ears. The voice was so loud that Carlos wanted to smack the person's face.
