From MC's perspective:
The result of the duel slowly reaches everyone's ears. When the warriors in the A grade heard about it. They weren't surprised.
They thought, If such a strong warrior existed in the B-grade institution then the person would have entered here long ago.
After this incident, many thought that the episode would come to an end.
But people in the B grade area are thinking about something else. Amelia is actively discussing with other faction heads to write the names of listed students.
Though Thomas's defeat was a setback. No one thought Zack could win easily without using the element.
Which made most of the warriors give up. Even for fun, they have decided not to bring up the topic of challenging Zack.
As the faction heads are discussing in their meeting room. Dean Rebecca called them. After knowing what's happening. She decided not to stop it.
One of the main reasons is that she doesn't think the Warriors training there could defeat Zack. As long as they managed to fight equally, the fear itself would attract a lot of attention.
After that she let them continue their work. She is also looking forward to seeing capable warriors. If anyone stands out, she won't mind using them in the year-end competition.
Then Amelia and others shared the news to other warriors officially. Earlier there were words uttered by Zack floating around. Since it was not official. It won't create much of an impact.
But when the official message was sent to warriors. The news starts to spread like wildfire again. The news also reached the C and D-grade institutions.
After learning that such a thing was happening. The warriors in those institutions couldn't hide their jealousy.
They have started to ask their respective faction heads. But one thing is clear: their strength was nowhere near the warriors training in the B-grade institution. Forget about Zack Lockwood who is undefeated in A grade institution.
But as the news starts to make rounds. People's curiosity starts to increase. They want to see who is going to fight against Zack Lockwood.
Flame Faction Common Room:
"Is this news true?" Seamus Dave asked his friend.
Everyone in the room is looking at the same news.
"What is he thinking?"
"He is humiliating everyone here," One of them said.
"That's right!"
"Someone has to teach him some lesson," Another warrior voiced out his opinion.
Seamus' mouth twitched. He recalled this was the exact talk when he first heard about Zack Lockwood.
"What are the number 1 and number 2 warriors in each faction doing?" Seamus asked himself.
In the Super Elite stage, the top warriors are at peak stage for more than one year. Their combat experience is many times higher than Zack Lockwood's.
He thinks only they can teach some lesson to Zack Lockwood.
He ignored his friends' conversations. He shifted his attention to the year-end conference. He believes that those warriors who are away on a mission will return soon.
Then he wants to see the reaction of Zack Lockwood. But it's a pity, no one can stop Zack's momentum right now.
Time flies,
By that time the whole academy including all 4 institutions heard of this news. Amelia received the names of the interested people.
Even the female warriors from the RainWater Faction have given their names. By that time it was night time. 20 Super Elite Warriors have given their names.
Amelia was surprised by the numbers. When she told the numbers to Dean Rebecca. The dean was surprised as well. But it's difficult for Zack Lockwood to fight against all these warriors in one day.
So Rebecca decides to talk to Zack tomorrow.
The next day,
Dorm room,
After getting out of bed, I started doing my morning routine. Later, I entered the training room to cultivate.
I sat down cross-legged on the platform and took the last Class-5 Monster Core from the storage ring. I held it in my palm and started running the blood element method.
The next moment, the blood rune in my consciousness started to flicker. Then I slowly started to absorb the monster's core energies.
When the monster's core energies entered my body. I guided the energy according to the method. As the energy flows through my body.
A blood light appears above the bloodstream. The blood light starts to convert the red energies into mysterious white energies.
The white energies then drilled into my bones. Seeing that I continued to repeat the process. Slowly, the scalp is turning red. When the skull becomes red.
My whole skeleton looks red.
Time passed,
After one hour, the monster core crumbles into pieces. Feeling that I opened my eyes. That was the last core.
If I want another core, I have to enter the monster zone. Shaking my head, I pushed the unnecessary thoughts back off my mind.
After leaving the training room, I went to take a bath.
20 minutes later,
I changed to an academy uniform. When it was breakfast time. I left the dorm room. Soon, I reached the dining hall and met with Ernest and Laverne.
After seeing me, they weren't able to hide their questions.
"Zack, what happened to you?" Laverne asked.
Ernest wasn't able to hide his curiosity as well. He said, "I was surprised by your move. Who would have thought you would go to other institution?"
Hearing that I responded with a smile. Then we slowly walked into the hall. The next moment, we bumped into the crowd.
The dining hall was more crowded than usual. But then I found everyone's gaze was on me. Most of their gazes are filled with curiosity.
"The news was already spread to the whole academy. Now everyone knows about your challenge," Ernest said from the side.
"Are you going to fight anyone today?"Laverne asked.
I shook my head and said, "I haven't asked dean about this today."
After saying that I started walking through the crowd. We reached the food counter and received the food.
Under the gaze of everyone, we started looking for an empty seat. Soon, we found one and sat on it.
"Damn, many of them came here to see you, not for breakfast," Ernest said.
"Can we go with you?" Laverne asked.
Hearing that I replied, "I don't think the dean will allow others."
"On top of that, I don't know if anyone is interested in fighting me today," I added.
Laverne becomes disappointed. Ernest knows something, so he says, "If we tag along, then other faction warriors could complain."
Hearing that Laverne's mood eases down.
Then we started eating the food. The warriors who were near us started to leave one by one. They came here to see me.
After seeing that we are having lunch. They didn't disturb us.
20 minutes later,
We left the dining hall.
"Did Dean say anything about the monster zone?" Ernest asked.
"I think it will take time. Until then we should focus on increasing our strength," I replied.
Then we parted ways. I started walking to the flower garden to call Amelia.
Beep!
All of a sudden my communication watch lit up with the notification.
Seeing that call was from the dean. I attended the call.
"Zack, come to my cabin" Dean's voice reached my ears.
After ending the call, I started heading toward the office building. When I reached the building. I started walking upstairs.
Then I arrived in front of her room.
"Zack, what are you doing here?" A familiar voice reached my ears.
When I turned around, I saw Carlos Kent standing in front of me.
"I heard the latest news. Didn't expect you would be interested in other low-grade institutions," Carlos said.
"I thought about checking out that place as well," I replied.
Creak!
The door in front of me opened.
"Alright, we will talk later. If you want to go to the mountain peak again. You can call me," After saying that Carlos went back to his room.
Seeing that I nodded at him before walking inside.
Dean Rebecca looked at me.
"You are going to be busy today," Rebecca said.
Hearing that my eyes flickered. Then I sat opposite him.
"There are 20 warriors who gave their names to Amelia. Every one of them wants to fight against you," Rebecca said.
"20 warriors," I uttered in surprise.
I thought no one would fight me. A faint smile appeared on my face.
"What are you going to do?" Rebecca asked.
"I don't know. Are there any strong warriors among them," I said.
"I don't want the results to turn out like yesterday," I added.
Dean Rebecca thought for a moment. Then she shared the details with me.
Beep!
When I got the result. I tapped my communication watch to go through the details. The page opened and an image of the warriors with their information appeared on the screen.
One by one, I started to scroll down the page. Almost all warriors from all the factions have given their names. Their information seems to be true as well.
