From MC's perspective:
A few days passed,
After getting out of bed, I started to recall today's schedule.
The turmoil of monster zones comes to an end. After Jonathan and his team's efforts, the environment returned to normal.
Even the patients who were severely injured are showing good recovery. But the scare was real. If Jonathan hadn't dealt with the mysterious person.
The consequences would have been severe. After the incident, Jonathan went back to the inner post. He told me that he would come back during the year-end conference.
And I think after the year-end conference, I will leave the academy.
Sigh~
A small sigh escaped from my mouth. Days are passing fast. Then I started to do my morning routine.
9 A.M,
I left the dorm room and walked towards the dining hall. When I reached the place. I saw Ernest and Laverne waiting for me as usual.
We then walked into the dining hall.
"How are you preparing for the year-end conference?" Ernest asked.
"It's going well," I replied.
But Laverne showed a confused expression. Before I could ask, she opened her mouth to say," I think the event should be postponed to next year."
"What?" Ernest uttered in surprise.
By the time we arrived in front of the counter. After getting the food, we found our usual spot to sit down and eat.
Ernest asked, "Now tell me?"
Laverne nodded at her before saying, "I heard that the other 5 academies have suffered huge damage. They are in urgent need of resources. If the year-end conference was held, then the competition is going to be more severe."
"I almost forgot about it. But without the conference, it's difficult to distribute the resources for next year," Ernest added.
Listening to both of their opinions. I couldn't help but feel sorry for the dean. She is already afraid of certain things. This new information will add to their headache.
Then we continued eating. From time to time, we discussed something.
After having breakfast, we walked out of the dining hall. Then the three of us parted ways. Ernest and Laverne also trained hard individually.
Considering the recent incident, I doubt anyone dares to go to the monster zone anytime soon. There is no news from the administration yet.
Should I go and ask her? I raised my eyebrows. After that incident, I had either spent time alone in training or the infirmary treating patients.
After gaining some clarity, I started walking towards the office building.
Soon, I reached the place and started walking towards her cabin. When I got there.
Creak!
The door opened automatically. Seeing that I walked into the room. When I saw her. She was usually doing some work on the digital screen.
Rebecca saw Zack before closing the page on the screen. She said, "We escaped narrowly from getting bankrupt."
I sat opposite her and asked, "Dean, how are the monster zones right now?"
"Can I go to the place?" I added.
Rebecca's eyes flickered. Right now, the students are in a state of panic. Even the administration stopped giving missions temporarily.
All the students are in the academy and no one wants to go to the monster zone. Unless they get assurance from her.
But as a dean, she was not sure for herself. So looking at Zack right now. She was in a dilemma.
"Zack, I admire your courage. But still, I recommend you to wait for a few weeks," She said.
"What? Weeks!" I uttered in surprise.
Rebecca didn't change her expression. She nodded her head before saying, "I know the person behind you has solved everything. But still, other academies are showing some patience."
"If we allow the entrance, then it would attract attention from the unwanted eyes. And I won't be surprised if the Supreme Elder of the Eclipse Academy comes back to investigate," She said in a solemn tone.
But I wasn't convinced. She is afraid of other academies. But after Jonathan's treatment, I doubt any of them would have ill intention.
"Dean, it's boring to spend an entire week in training. I want to go to the monster zones. Not only for improving my skills. But also for collecting monster cores," I said in a serious tone.
Rebecca showed some pandering expression before thinking of an idea.
"Why don't you go to other institutions of our academy?"
"You are inching for a fight. And I doubt any of them from an A-grade institution would be ready to fight against you."
"But if you go to B, C, and D grade institutions, I guess there will be students ready to challenge you," Rebecca said.
"But I'm a Super Elite Warrior now," I replied. In my opinion, the warriors here are not that challenging. So the warriors in the B-grade institution might be worse than here.
"Ha...Ha...Ha..."
"You are underestimating them," Rebecca said with a laugh.
"I heard you initially had a D grade quota for admission. But you changed your life during the competition. So there are tough warriors out there."
"It's just that they didn't have a chance to enter an A-grade institution like you," She added.
Her words brought me some understanding. I started recalling my early days. D grade quota was a hard-earned reward for Uncle James. Because of turn events, I managed to get into this A-grade institution.
Instead of spending time alone, it's better to take a look. What's happening out there?
"Alright, I'm ready to visit the B-grade institution," I said.
Hearing that Rebecca smiled. This was supposed to happen months ago. But Zack has the time now.
Then she taps the digital screen in front of her and gives some special permission to Zack. So that he can enter and exit the premises of the B-grade institution.
"I gave you access to enter. If you go there, there will be someone to guide you. If you want to fight, then you challenge someone freely," Rebecca said.
Hearing that, I feel good. Not that many had gone to lower institutions. This is going to be some experience.
After leaving her cabin, I walked out of the office building. Now, I'm going to visit the B-grade institution.
I took the face mask from my storage ring and wore it to hide my face. Almost everyone knows me in the academy.
And it won't be different in the B-grade institution. The place is a walkable distance from here. Then I started leaving the premises of the A-grade institution.
Soon, I reached another wide road that led to the B-grade institution. There was no one around me. The road was empty. No one goes from an A-grade institution to a B-grade institution.
I'm the first one. Soon, I reached the gate. Dean Rebecca gave me an access code. After entering the access code, I walked inside.
I can see a similar building from a distance. When I got closer, I saw the movement of the students. Their uniform is different from mine.
And there is a badge on the chest mentioning that they are from the B grade institution.
At first, no one noticed me, but as I walked past several students.
A few of them recognized my uniform.
Gasp!
The next moment, a small commotion occurred.
"Hey, he is from the main institute," Someone pointed his finger at me.
Right after, everyone understood and multiple gazes fell on me. At the same time, the murmur starts.
When I was looking for a way out. Someone appeared before me.
It was an old woman. But her energy levels make me feel that she is one step away from the dean.
"You are here!"
"Come with me," The old woman said.
She is wearing a faction head's uniform. She is over fifty years old and she has some white hair.
Then without minding everyone. I followed her.
When we got away from the crowd. The old woman turned toward me.
"Zack Lockwood!"
"Nice meeting you."
"I'm Amelia Charles. The flame faction head for this institution," She said.
Hearing that I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I thought she was a water element user.
Then I replied, "Good to see you, Elder. But I came here for a fight."
Amelia wasn't surprised. The dean has conveyed everything.
"Don't worry Zack. You will be surprised. If I tell you there are a lot of warriors here who don't believe in your strength."
"Everyone has witnessed your duels before. But still, some warriors don't believe in your strength," She said.
A faint smile appeared on my face.
I looked at her and asked, "Could you introduce me to some?"
Amelia nodded her head before we started flying towards the flame faction. Soon we reached the towering building.
When we walked inside. I saw the setup was everything the same. Even the inside architecture of the building is similar.
There are stairs leading to different faction's common rooms. But for the flame faction, the common room was near the opening room.
When I was paying attention outside. Amelia started summoning strong Super Elite Warriors from her faction.
Shortly after,
A few warriors appeared in front of us. All of them are looking bulk with the heavily built muscles. For a second, I thought they were from an earth element faction.
Amelia looked at them before turning towards me.
I nodded at her.
