From MC's perspective:
The duel day,
After having breakfast, I started walking toward the arena together with Ernest. Not only us, but the other warriors also rushed to the arena.
"Who do you think is going to win?" Ernest asked.
"I don't have any idea," I replied quickly. I have not seen any footage of Vina Potkins' duel. But I think she won't be any less than Eurice Frye.
Eurice has the power of a mutated water element. This was a known fact to everyone. Since Vina knows that as well. Maybe she has some powerful cards under her sleeves.
Then we both quickly reached the place. This is the 1st time I'm going to be a spectator. As we approached the entrance.
Many gazes fell on me. Both the male and female warriors from the other faction were staring at me.
"Hey, look who's here!"
"Zack Lockwood is going to the duel as well."
"Hey, maybe he is coming to watch Vina Potkins."
The conversations reached my ears. Ignoring that we started walking towards the seating area.
On the other hand, the warriors started to follow as well.
A few minutes later,
We arrived at our special faction stand. This seating area is allocated for our Special Faction Members similar to other factions.
So no one will come to bother us. Sitting down, I started to observe other areas. As the participants are yet to arrive. The warriors are finding their respective seats.
As usual, I saw the warriors from the flame factions were large in numbers. No matter where you go. Their presence is very eye-catching.
A few minutes later,
"Look, vice-dean is here," Eurice said, pointing fingers at the flame faction.
Seeing that I followed his gaze and saw the appearance of the Vice-dean. I haven't had that much interaction with other faction heads.
So I can't judge their character. Suddenly, I spotted someone with blond hair standing behind him.
"Who is the blond-haired warrior?" I asked.
Ernest was surprised at first. Then he recognized the person.
"Kane!" He uttered in surprise.
"Who is he?'I asked back again.
It took a few seconds for Ernest to realize.
"You have a competition now. That person is Kane Patrick. He is one among the top 3 in the flame faction."
"No wonder the vice-dean was here. He is planning to show off," Ernest said with a bitter smile.
On the other hand, a quick glint flashes in my eyes. To be honest, I was itching for a fight for a while. But never expected apart from Vina someone else to come back from their retreat.
Ernest is quietly watching Zack's expression. Then he remembered something.
"Don't take him too lightly. Like Eurice Frye, his elemental magic is also unusual. His flame can withstand the attack from other elements," Ernest said with a serious expression.
Hearing that, a faint smile appeared on my face. I already achieved Super Elite Strength with my body. So I'm not worried about failure.
"Don't worry. I know what to do?" I replied in a calm tone.
Ernest nodded before looking at the arena.
As the time passed, the seats of other factions started to fill. And the respective heads of their factions also arrived.
10 minutes later,
Eurice Frye walked to the dueling stage. Shortly after, Vina Potkins arrived as well.
Looking at the unbothered Eurice Frye. My eyes turned cold. Last time she poisoned me during the duel.
Now she is appearing like nothing has happened. How to get back my revenge? I raised my eyebrows.
If her character is rotten, then it's neither good for the Rain Water Faction and not the Academy. Should I tell the dean about this?
Lots of questions appeared in my mind. Then I decided to think about it later.
"Only our faction head is not here," Ernest said with a sigh.
"Don't think about him," I said.
"Is he going to do something again?" Ernest asked with a worried face.
"Ah?" I realized. These guys don't know about his changeover. So they are still afraid of him.
"I forgot to tell you."
"Our faction head has changed. He is not going to bother us anymore," I said.
"Really?" Ernest uttered in surprise.
Meanwhile,
Some people in the spectator's area also looked at the 2 lone people in the Special Faction Area.
As both of them are eye-catching for the rest of the warriors.
Vice-dean Franklin squinted his eyes. He slightly turned toward the blonde-haired warrior beside him.
He said," He is the one who is taking our factions' limelight."
Kane Patrick appears to be a normal warrior. His facial features are not that outstanding. Except his blonde hair and fair skin. Nothing is working.
But his eyes are cunning. He is already marked as the person in his heart. And he is looking forward to meeting him.
When he came back. His underlings had already filled him with information. The shameful defeat of the Flame Faction, Metal Faction, and RainWater Faction.
The person has yet to face the Gale Faction and Rock Earth Faction.
Franklin notices the reaction. He gave an appreciative look. But he couldn't help but remind me.
"Don't underestimate the lightning element. It's domineering. We don't know. How it would react against your flame."
Franklin was worried that Kane might be careless.
Kane on the other hand simply replied, "Head, you are worrying too much. I take every opponent seriously."
Hearing that Franklin nodded his head.
Similar things are happening in each faction. There are not many warriors that are outstanding and powerful.
So people are watching every move of talented warriors in each faction.
This time there are only warriors of the "A" Grade institution are allowed in the arena.
Where the people from the rest of the institution watch it from live streaming.
Even some of the influential people in Viper City also tuned in.
Duel Arena:
Eurice Frye slightly glances towards the Special Faction Area. She is aware that Zack Lockwood is here.
She couldn't help but feel uneasy in her heart.
Opposite her, Vina Potkins walked up to the stage. She stood opposite Eurice. She doesn't know why. Eurice seems absent-minded.
While she was observing, the referee also arrived. He is from the management building. The arrival of the referee caused Eurice to return to reality.
Then both of them became ready for the clash.
Meanwhile,
Dean Rebecca is watching from her office. The current duel is not as important as Zack Lockwood's duel.
She saw Alice Brown was there. Similarly, the Gale Faction Head is present there.
In case of emergency, both of them can take care. She suddenly notices Zack Lockwood and Eurice Frye.
Looking at one missing person on the ground. She couldn't help but recall the morning reports. Someone powerful has visited the Blevins Family.
"Who could be?" She frowned. The issue with Azure City is deteriorating day by day. Even the Supreme Elder asked her not to intervene in this matter.
She feels helpless. She is responsible for the affairs of the academy. But the Supreme Elder is making the decision nowadays.
Shaking her head, she pushed down these thoughts. The Supreme Elder is the oldest person in the academy.
Rebecca thinks that the Supreme Elder is doing good for the academy.
....
The Azure City,
Carlos Kent is staying at the Blevins family's place. The Blevins Family Head's revelation blew away his mind.
The information was so huge that it had a catastrophic effect if the news was leaked.
The Academy might face danger from all sides. Carlos himself didn't expect that he would care for the Academy.
More than that it's fear of Jonathan in his mind. Recalling the power of the person. Carlos once again calmed down his heart.
"That person can easily take down everyone," Jonathan muttered in his heart.
That's why he is not afraid of the Giant Tower Head and the person behind the scenes. After having so much conversation with the Giant Tower Headmaster.
He is starting to connect the dots himself. Who could order around the Giant Tower Headmaster? Because the Giant Tower Headmaster himself is one of the big beings in the Tier-6 Cities.
Similar to the other heads of other academies.
A crazy thought appeared in his mind.
"Inner Post," He said in his heart. If his assumption is true then something big is going to happen in their region.
For so many decades no one had bothered their outer post. Because it's a barren land. Only exceptional warriors had managed to get into the Inner Post.
So for them to interfere in their region.
Carlos couldn't help but suck a cold breath of air. Even the assumption itself scares him. When it comes to Jonathan. He had already realized that a powerhouse is someone from the inner post.
He had realized when he got the scolding from the dean. No one can make that woman flustered. Only the existence of the inner post can make her afraid.
Knowing that such existence has a connection with Zack Lockwood. He became even more humble. He hoped that he would be spared in the end.
