Giant Tower Academy:
The Giant Tower Headmaster was disappointed with Zack's duel result. He has been waiting to hear the good news earlier. But he doesn't know what happened.
The Supreme elder of the Saw Scale Viper Academy failed him again.
Sitting in his room, he wasn't able to control his anger. He wants to destroy all the things here.
"I should have known. That old man was not willing to kill that kid," He gritted his teeth in anger.
The mysterious person had warned him earlier. He wanted that kid somehow. But now how is he going to do it? His trump card failed.
In a fury, he tried to contact the Supreme elder. As the seconds pass, his frustration only increases. Because the call was not connected at all.
"What's happening out here?" He starts yelling out in frustration. The situation here is not good nowadays.
There are factions in the Giant Tower Academy who want him out. Some of them already suspected him of hollowing out the academy treasure.
When it comes to the treasury. He couldn't help but think of Carlos Kent. He had lost wealth because of that culprit. His heart wants to be shredded into pieces.
But it's a pity that his hideout is difficult to find. After pushing down these thoughts, he began to ponder the pressing issue.
If he delays any longer to kill that kid. The mysterious person won't give him any chances. Thinking about it, a deep chill went down his spine.
"No!"
"I have to hurry," He muttered to himself.
Last time, he went to Viper City. But for some important reason. He had to return quickly.
This time he plans to go there again. Only there he can get the opportunity to kill that kid. There is also a second way where he can ask the supreme elder to arrange something.
But right now, he doesn't believe him at all. This plan he wants to carry out alone.
A cold glint flashes in his eyes.
...
From MC's perspective:
The dining hall,
Seeing the crowd, I couldn't help but think about returning. It's impossible to have a peaceful breakfast here.
But before I could speak. Ernest dragged me inside. Somehow, the crowd gave us a way forward.
Then we reached the food counter to receive the food. The staff is looking at me with an excited face.
I ignored her before returning with Ernest and Laverne. We found an empty seat at the corner.
But from beginning to end. The warriors kept staring at us.
"It's uncomfortable," Laverne muttered.
We sat on the seat and started consuming the food. Seeing that the warriors around us started having their breakfast as well.
"Now no one will challenge you in the elite stage. But things will change once you step into the Super Elite," Ernest commented.
Hearing that I paused my movements.
"What?"
"Am I right?" Ernest asked.
I looked at him before nodding my head. They don't know that the supreme elder is gone. And it's time for the academy to stay low-key.
"So Zack, what's your next plan?" Laverne asked.
"Me?"
"I'll try to touch the barrier first. Then I'll attempt to break through," I answered.
Hearing that both of them weren't surprised.
It's been some time since I have been in the elite stage. Partially, because of the lack of lightning resources here.
Then we continued eating. But not long after, an unwelcome guest visited us.
"Oh, you guys are here!"
"What a coincidence?"
"Then I'll join you guys for breakfast"
A sarcastic voice reached our ears. When I turned around, we saw a familiar person coming towards us.
"Michael," Laverne said in a trembling tone.
Ernest's face was discolored as well. No one expected this troublemaker to come.
Michael Blevins smiled coldly at everyone's reactions. Then he turned toward Zack.
"Zack, congratulations on your win"
"You protected the name of our special faction."
"But I hope you won't break in a hurry," he said as he sat beside Ernest.
Hearing that everyone turned towards him.
But I controlled the laughter in my heart. His family didn't know that one of their backs was gone.
There will be no more support from him. Now the dean can act freely. She won't hesitate to punish those criminals in the Azure City.
On the other hand, Michael continued to say.
"I guess, you guys must have understood something."
"Well, if Zack becomes Super Elite Warrior. Then I'll challenge him for a life-or-death duel," Michael said.
"Michael?"
"Are you out of your mind?"
"We belong to the same faction," Ernest said in a solemn tone.
Laverne's expression turned ugly as well.
My eyes turned cold. This guy's courage is commendable. But I don't know whose idea it is.
"What Zack?"
"Are you afraid?" Michael asked with a chuckle.
But I kept myself calm and composed.
Then I replied, "I don't have time to waste."
I simply ignored him before continuing to eat the food. Laverne almost laughed out loud.
But she controlled her emotions in time.
Ernest revealed a small smile on his face.
Seeing that everyone is ignoring him. Michael's face turned dark. The reason for his return was Zack.
Before coming here, he heard interesting information from his father. His father's acquaintance wants Zack dead.
He doesn't know the backstory. But Zack's existence is making trouble for someone.
Then Michael accepted the task from his father. He will try to end Zack's life here. If he can accomplish this, then his father's strength will increase further.
But when he heard that Zack was participating in the life-or-death duel yesterday. He thought it was a good chance.
It's a pity that Zack won the duel in the end. He found another way to kill Zack. Which is to have a similar duel when Zack reaches the Super Elite.
That's why he came here to set a trap. But Zack Lockwood is not agreeing at all.
"I want to see. How long are you going to hide?" Michael said in his heart.
Seeing that three of them are still focusing on having food. He left the place.
"Sigh"
"He is gone," Laverne said with a sigh.
"Why is he asking for a life-or-death duel?" Ernest raised the question.
Then he thought of something.
Ernest asked, "Did he find out your help to Laverne's family?"
"It's possible," Laverne added.
"I don't think so," I answered. Not that many know about my help to Laverne's family.
Except for both, the dean and Jonathan know.
And Michale can't have interaction with both of them.
20 minutes later,
We walked out of the dining hall.
"Shall we go to the monster zone?"
"It's been some time since the three of us joined together," Laverne said.
Hearing that I agreed immediately.
Then three of us started heading towards the teleportation tower.
Time flies,
At noon time, another person came back to the academy unexpectedly. He is none other than Carlos Kent.
After entering into the Academy space. He couldn't help but stop and take a look at the Academy.
"I'm back," He said in an excited tone.
When was the last time he had this feeling? It's because of the Supreme Elder he had to leave the Academy.
Now that person is no more. He couldn't believe it at first when Jonathan told him. He thought it was an imagination.
But when he saw the corpse of Franklin Madden. A cold shiver went down his spine. Because the corpse belongs to the warrior SSS-Elite Rank. Similar strength to him.
He doesn't know when Franklin broke through. But looking at his cold corpse at that time. He realized that the news was true.
Also at that, he realized his strength as Jonathan. To think he is someone who can kill the Supreme elder.
Then he has no rival in this region. Only after knowing that he dared to come back.
After pushing down these thoughts, he moved to the office building.
In the monster zone,
The Cat-type Class-6 Monster is giving us a tough fight. But thanks to Ernest and Laverne's relentless attack.
The monster has weakened a lot.
Ernest once again released the soil attack to trap the monster. But the cat monster was agile. It continues to evade the attack.
"Zack, do you have any purple essence left?" Laverne asked.
Hearing that I nodded my head. I have enough to release one lightning attack. But the cat monster is extremely fast.
All of a sudden the cat monster ignored them and started charging against me.
Maybe the monster thought I was weak. As I'm the one who is standing behind them.
Ernest and Laverne stopped attacking and turned towards me.
When the monster got closer to me. It raised its massive claw to attack me.
"Lightning Wheel"
I released the lightning attack. The next second, a purple lightning wheel appeared around me.
The monster was startled. But it was too late to avoid the clash.
Bang!
A deafening sound reverberated throughout the area.
As the lightning wheel explodes. The monster took the direct brunt of it and crashed into the ground.
