From MC's perspective:
People from the Flame faction were standing in front of the dormitory. Right after seeing me, one of them ran away to inform someone.
That someone might be Kane Patrick. I don't have time to entertain these clowns. When I got closer. None of them dared to stop me.
Meanwhile,
Kane came to know a few minutes later. After calming down his heart. He decided to take a risk. Seamus won't let him off.
Instead of breaking the rules, he decided to challenge Zack formally. In that way, he won't get into trouble.
The following day,
Me and Ernest had breakfast together. As usual when we stepped out of the place. The trouble comes to find me.
After seeing Kane, I couldn't help but think of Seamus. What is he planning? I'm sure the dean will punish them for sure if something happens.
"Zack, don't worry. We don't come here to cause you trouble. Instead, I have long since wanted to fight against you," Kane said with a smile.
"Another loser has come," Ernest muttered. He can see that that's the only way they can trouble Zack.
Otherwise, they will be facing strict punishment. As always, a crowd of onlookers formed quickly.
On the other hand, a faint smile appeared on my face.
"Do you think I have free time to fight against you?" I replied.
Hearing that Kane's expression changes drastically. He thought Zack would accept his challenge to protect his reputation.
But Zack is smiling wickedly. Seeing that Kane's eyes turned cold. If he turns down the challenge then it would be bad for him.
Seamus will find him. His face turned ugly thinking about it.
"What do you want?" Kane asked. He can see that Zack is expecting something.
"Would you like to add something?" I asked.
A look of understanding dawned on Kane's face.
"I'll offer money. How many credit points do you need?" Kane asked. He doesn't care about spending.
As long as Zack agrees to the duel. Everything will be fine.
Ernest was surprised as well. This was not the style of Zack. Zack usually accepts whatever challenges are thrown at him.
But this time something has changed.
"Kane, I don't lack money. If you find any useful items for me, then you can come to challenge me. Otherwise, don't waste my time, "After saying that I started leaving.
Ernest quickly followed behind. We both decided to train today to improve our skills.
On the other hand, Kane's expression darkened. He didn't expect Zack to demand something.
Then this is going to be troublesome. Looking at Zack's direction, his heart swells up with anger. He can't do anything at this moment.
"Let's go if a brother asks me. I'll let him know what happened?" Kane said to his followers.
10 minutes later,
Both of us entered the gravity training chamber. I want to push my limit. So that my body can achieve another physical breakthrough soon.
In the gravity chamber, I started training from 4X settings. I can handle the pressure of the elite stage easily.
Meanwhile,
The news about Zack's condition has reached Seamus' ears even before Kane is willing to tell him.
"Condition uh?" He raised his eyebrows in surprise. He felt good that Kane followed his words to challenge Zack.
Now the duel will happen if Kane finds something valuable. Zack has cleverly avoided the duel by stating something like this.
Seamus starts to ponder. He knows Zack is a special element warrior. The things related to the lightning element are hard to find in this region.
So Zack's condition is almost unachievable.
Meanwhile,
The Supreme Elder is in a meeting with someone. But that person is not Rebecca.
"Franklin, are you sure your students can do it?" The old man asked.
Franklin wore a bright smile on his face.
"Don't worry elder. I have instructed both the elite and super elite warriors to trouble that kid."
"At any time their fight would break out," Franklin said. Right now, he can't express his joy.
The past few days have been a dream for him. Apart from the dean, no one could meet the Supreme Elder.
But this time the supreme elder has summoned him directly. He didn't know why he wanted to cause trouble to that lightning kid.
Isn't that the kid with a big background?
Then why the supreme elder is targeting the kid? A lot of questions appeared in his mind. But one thing is clear. Even if the dean wants to save the kid. It's hard to do so in the future.
As long as the supreme elder stands on his side, he is not afraid of anyone.
"What are you thinking?" The old man asked.
"Uh, it's nothing older. Then I'm leaving," After saying that, Franklin decided to leave.
The old man squinted his eyes but didn't stop him. When Franklin disappeared from his place. The old man wore a heavy expression.
Earlier, he hadn't thought about targeting Zack Lockwood. Because this would backfire on him.
But the past few days have been bad for him. The mysterious person wants to kill that kid so badly. What happened?
He didn't know? He thought about Lowell and Jonathan. These 2 have a terrifying background.
But the mysterious man is not afraid of them. Even after he told him about their identity. And yet he still wants to kill that kid Zack Lockwood.
Because of pressure, he had no choice other than to agree with him. He decided to use Franklin Madden for now.
He won't let Zack die in his academy. Otherwise, no one could save him and the academy from Lowell.
As long as Zack goes outside, he can arrange things. He feels bad for doing this. But it can't be helped. He needs those forbidden potions to extend his lifespan.
Not long after, Franklin inquired for updates from the Flame Faction Members. After knowing that Zack was fine. He furrowed his eyebrows.
Then he instructed the students to leave before going back to his cabin.
In his cabin, Franklin summoned both Kane and Seamus.
Shortly after both of them arrived. Franklin then asked them in person.
A few minutes later,
Franklin fell into deep thinking. That kid is quite clever. He has set conditions for the duel.
"Alright, you guys can leave," Franklin said.
Time went by,
After practicing, I returned to the room in the evening. I don't know what happened. But this time no flies from the Flame Faction came to bother me.
After reaching the room, I went to take a bath.
20 minutes later,
I changed into comfortable clothes. Laying down on my bed. I started to go through the online post.
Today the practice area was not that crowded. Most of the training rooms are empty. Because of this, I was able to spend more time in the practice room training with a dummy.
When I accessed the online page, I saw a post about internal competition. The Earth Faction and the Metal Faction had a duel today.
I don't know how many days it will take them to complete the competition.
...
Viper City:
The following day,
Carlos Kent received an uninvited guest. Meeting the Giant Tower Headmaster. His expression turned pale with fear.
"How did you come?" Carlos Kent asked.
When the Giant Tower Headmaster talked about meeting him in Viper City. He took it as a joke. But never thought he would dare to come.
The Giant Tower Headmaster showed a knowing smile on his face. He knows something is wrong with Carlos Kent.
"Won't you invite me inside?" He asked.
Carlos Kent nodded at him before inviting him.
The Giant Tower Headmaster walked into the room. He looked around and saw the room was fine with the elegant style.
"Well, you are living a good life here. No wonder, you don't want to go to the Azure City," He said.
Carlos Kent's pupil shrank. The name of the Azure City rings an alarm bell in his mind.
"What?"
"You don't want to go!"
"Our plans are delayed because of you. Now the Morrow Family has left the city. Which will be detrimental to our plan," The Giant Tower Headmaster said.
He is not planning to let him go.
Sigh~
A sigh escaped from Carlos Kent's mouth.
"I have told you. There is an internal competition going on. I can't go anywhere at this time," Carlos answered.
He is trying to convince the Giant Tower Headmaster. But the Giant Tower Headmaster is not buying at all.
He simply brought a black liquid potion from his storage ring. If anyone looks closely, they can see a black insect squirming inside.
A sense of crisis hits Carlos Kent. Then he saw what was happening. The Giant Tower Headmaster is planning to do something.
He immediately sent a message to Jonathan. If anything happens only Jonathan can save him.
The Giant Tower Headmaster looked at Carlos before saying, "You know. Your actions are creating a lot of doubts. I have been instructed by someone to feed this thing to you."
While saying that he pointed at the black potion bottle.
