From MC's perspective:
Above the sky,
Rebecca doesn't know how to stop the Supreme Elder. The time is running out. If Zack proceeds to kill Kane. Then the supreme elder might attack him.
RainWater Faction, Gale Faction, Earth Rock Faction, and Metal Faction heads showed expressions of fear.
The dean is arguing with the Supreme Elder of the academy. This is a sign of internal struggle. Franklin made his position clear by standing behind the supreme elder.
At the same time, the old man's eyes were on the duel stage. He saw the lightning brat arguing with the referee. And the opponent Kane had long since collapsed onto the ground.
"I want to see what you 're going to do?," Old man sneered inside.
He seems to be waiting for something. As long as there is an opportunity, he will strike Zack with a mental attack.
At this point, no one can stop him. As if he tore off the mask.
A few seconds later,
The old man mobilized his mental power to attack Zack. Rebecca and others weren't able to block.
"It's over," Rebecca thought. She felt a wave of attack go past her.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..."
"There will be no more nuisance," Franklin said with a laugh.
In the dueling stage,
I felt frustrated by the referee's inaction. This guy is not opening his mouth at all. Then I looked at Kane's collapsed body.
If he left like that, then he would be left to death.
Suddenly, I felt heart palpitations.
A sense of coercion enveloped my body.
"This?" A hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes.
"Don't worry" A reassuring voice reached my ears.
Hearing that I relaxed. "Sure, Jonathan is going to act," I said in my heart.
Above the sky,
The old man's eyes flickered. He saw something blocking his mental power. "Impossible," He uttered in a low tone.
Rebecca and others were surprised as well. Franklin Madden was not sure what was happening. How come the supreme elder missed the target?
The old man's heart boils in anger. He starts to attack again.
But a cold shiver went down his spine the next second.
"Who?" The old man asked out loud. But a panicking tone can be heard from his voice.
Rebecca and the others are shocked and turn around to look for the enemy.
"Dare to attack the young master. Do you think you will be fine after this move?" a stern mental note reached the old man's mind.
He felt goosebumps all over his body.
"Escape," The next second, he starts to flee. He regretted his immature action. Who would have thought that lightning brat has support?
Franklin Madden felt his soul leave his body. He thought that the supreme elder would be his support.
But the old man is fleeing all of a second.
A shock and disbelief appeared on Rebecca's face. A few seconds ago, the old man was acting superior. But now he is fleeing for a life.
Rebecca and others are looking around them.
At the same time, Jonathan is following the tail of the supreme elder. When the old man left the academy space.
Jonathan decides to attack.
Boom~
The old man is fleeing at extreme speed. Felt something hitting his body.
Argh~
The next second, a muffled grunt escaped his mouth. The old man's body shot at the ground at breakneck speed.
Pfff~
When the old man's body hit the land. A massive crack appeared on the ground. The crack starts to spread further.
Blood splattered on the ground. Looking at the cracks in his body. The old man thought of the invisible enemy.
He couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.
"Who?"
"Who are you?" the old man tries to get up. But the blood is leaking from his mouth. His old dying body was already weak.
But now because of the injury. He felt his vitality slipping away fast.
The old man felt dizzy. If this goes on, he will lose his consciousness. When he tries to look around. There was no one around.
Then all of a second, a heavy coercion fell on him.
Argh~
The old man bent his knees. The coercion alone is crushing his injury. Thinking about the enemy's real strength. The old man sucked a cold breath of air.
No one would have thought such a dignified supreme elder would be reduced to such a state.
If such a scene is exposed, then other academies would be petrified.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..."
"I never expected to see such a state of yours," Jonathan's calm voice sounded.
Hearing that the old man woke up from a stupor. He recognized the voice. The voice belongs to a person who is working for Zack's teacher.
Slowly, in front of him, Jonathan appeared.
"You!"
"When did you come?" The old man asked with hesitation.
Jonathan's appearance was unexpected. If he had known, he wouldn't have the courage to target Zack Lockwood.
Jonathan smiled coldly.
"Supreme elder"
"Your actions disappointed me and my master. Do you think we don't know about the forbidden potion?" Jonathan said.
Hearing his secret from Jonathan. The old man felt the soul leave his body.
"How?" he asked in a trembling tone.
No one in this Academy knows about this. Including Dean Rebecca. He has been keeping the secrecy to himself.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..."
Jonathan laughed out loud.
"Not only about the forbidden potion. I'm also aware of your dealing with the Giant Tower Headmaster."
"But you guys underestimated one thing. We also have our intelligence," Jonathan added.
The old man's heart was shattered. There was no secret in front of Jonathan. Everything got exposed.
Then he realized he was nothing but a pawn. He happens to enter the terrible vortex. A miserable smile appeared on his face.
"Now you can rest in peace," After saying that Jonathan decides to end his life.
For that old man has no opinion. He is completely resigned to his fate.
Meanwhile,
The dueling stage,
Dean Rebecca appeared and declared Zack as the winner. Then the medic team appeared and took Kane's body to the infirmary.
At the same time, the referee's body can be seen crashing somewhere.
Cheer~
A roaring cheer can be heard. The audience was surprised by the result. Everyone expected one of them to be dead.
On the contrary, Zack Lockwood has decided to spare the opponent's life. Which immediately raised the goodwill among many.
Rebecca didn't leave immediately; rather, she asked Zack to come to her cabin.
Then I left the duel arena. When I walked outside. Ernest and Laverne are already there.
"Zack, you have done well," Ernest said with emotion.
He didn't expect Zack to spare Kane's life. Which surprised everyone. Even Laverne looked at Zack with admiration.
"Well, we didn't have any enmity to begin with. So a life of death is unnecessary. Then I'll see you guys later. I'm going to meet the dean," I replied.
Hearing that Ernest and Laverne bid goodbye before parting ways. Other warriors wanted to talk to me. But I ignored them and started heading towards the office building.
Walking, I couldn't help but think of Jonathan. The earlier attack must have been done by Franklin or the old man. Fortunately, Jonathan was here to save life.
Thinking about the situation, a cold sweat formed on my forehead. Hereafter, things will change. I might be heading to the inner post in a few days.
It's a pity, I always wanted to participate in the year-end competition. But the supreme elder's involvement in the evil things has spoiled everything.
I hope the academy will be safe in the coming months.
Soon, I reached the office building. But when I walked upstairs, I saw the faction heads standing outside of the dean's cabin except Franklin.
Seeing me coming, the faction heads turned towards me. I saw their expressions were not alright.
Elder Alice showed complicated emotions.
"Kid, you did nice by sparing his life," Marucs Lin said. This time his opinion was genuine.
He understands the enmity between Zack and Flame Faction warriors.
But still, Zack has the heart to forgive the opponent. Marcus Lin showed approval. The other faction head also nodded their head in understanding.
I responded with a smile.
Creak~
The door opened.
Seeing that I walked past them and walked into the room.
Right after the faction heads followed me and entered the room. Seeing that my eyes flickered. Looks like the dean is going to reveal everything.
"Everyone take your seat," Dean Rebecca said.
Hearing that everyone sat in our respective seats. Dean Rebecca looked at me with a questioning gaze.
"Zack, care to tell me what's going on?" Rebecca asked.
The next second, I felt everyone's gaze on me.
"Dean, what do you mean by that?" I asked.
Rebecca rolled her eyes at him. Zack is hiding the information from her.
"Zack, we saw the supreme elder fleeing for a life. Someone is chasing from behind. Tell me who it is?" Rebecca asked.
A look of realization dawned on me. No wonder all of them seem to be anxious. But I can tell that the old man was done for sure.
