From MC's perspective:
Viper Academy:
Jonathan was observing everything from the shadows. He is watching everything with a smile on his face.
Bryson Koch and Cameron landed on the ground. The formation posed no threat to them.
"Harumph, call him out," Bryson said with a snort. He doesn't want to waste time here. He is already sick of little world energy here.
"Yes, my lord," Cameron uttered with joy. The next second, he stormed into the mansion. But what both don't know is that an invisible poison seeped into their body within a few seconds.
Boom!
The mansion's door broke into pieces. When he appeared inside. He found no breath of a dying old man.
Cameron furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. Then he realized there must be another formation here.
So he started checking the mansion.
As time passed, Bryson began to feel uneasy. He doesn't know what's causing the sudden discomfort. But he feels something is not right.
"What's happening?" Bryson muttered to himself.
He thought it was a mood swing. But as the second passes, the irritation becomes real.
"Trash!"
"Why are you taking so long?' Bryson shouted in anger all of a sudden. But still the sense of uneasiness is getting stronger.
In the mansion, Cameron felt thunderclap ring in his ears.
The next second, he broke out in a cold sweat. And his whole body started trembling in fear.
He knows he is taking too much time. Because he found no presence of a dying old man here. The mansion is empty without anyone's presence.
He started to think the supreme elder of this academy went out to treat his injury. Otherwise, it doesn't explain the sudden absence.
If other academies learnt of this they might take evil actions against the Viper Academy.
"What bad taming?" He cursed under his breath.
The next second, his body starts trembling again. This is not out of fear. But it's happening because of poisoning.
"What's happening with me?" Cameron asked himself.
Then he looked at his body. He found his hands and feet turning purple.
"What?" He cried out in surprise. He wants to escape from this place right away. But before he could think further.
He found his consciousness slipping away.
Tud!
The next second, his body collapsed onto the ground.
On the other hand, Bryson Koch finally realizes something is wrong with the body. The uneasiness felt not because of his mood swing. But outside influence.
When he internally checks his body. He saw a black color thread pass through his internal organs.
At first he didn't think much about it. But as he checked further, the black threads covered all of the organs and bones.
Seeing that his expression changes drastically.
"No!"
"This is poison," He uttered in horror. He never expected there was something in this region that could affect his body.
The next second, he hurriedly takes out medicines to swallow. As the medicine enters his body, he sees the healing energy is not affecting the black thread at all.
Seeing that his expression turned pale with fright.
"No, this is not ordinary poison," He uttered in a panic stricken voice. The medicine product is from the inner post.
Such a medicine product can cure all types of the sickness in the inner post including all types of poison.
"I have to go back"
"Otherwise, the poison will endanger my life," Bryson said to himself.
Swish!
The next second, he disappeared from the spot and started moving towards the inner post without turning back.
"Ha...Ha...Ha....," Jonathan let out a small laughter.
Everything went smoothly. He had thought about killing him. But later he changed his mind.
This treatment was enough to handle Bryson Koch. There is no need for killing. The next second, he set his gaze on Cameron who was unconscious inside the mansion.
Cameron's vitality is slipping away because of the poison. He will die in a few seconds.
Seeing that Jonathan stepped forward. In a blink of an eye, he arrived before the mansion.
Then he entered inside. He then saw the work of the poison. The poison inside Cameron's body is melting Cameron's body. Before he knew it the corpse turned into a small puddle.
Seeing that Jonathan acted. The puddle disappeared in a blink of an eye. There was no trace of Cameron whatsoever.
On the other hand, Dean Rebecca doesn't know what happened here.
A few hours later,
The black aircraft enters the academy space. In a blink of an eye, the aircraft lands on the ground.
Creak!
I walked out after opening the door. After thanking the pilot and staff, I walked towards the office building.
When I got closer to the building. I found some that grabbed my shoulder. Before I knew it, I appeared above the clouds.
When I turned around, I saw Jonathan's face.
A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. I was worried all this time.
"What happened to them?" I asked.
Jonathan revealed a smile on his face before replying,"The inner post powerhouse ran behind his tails.
"He went back?" I asked out of surprise.
Then Jonathan began to explain the whole thing.
A few minutes later,
My whole body got relaxed.
"If I knew it, it was this simple. I would have stayed back," I said in a calm tone.
Jonathan shook his head before saying,"Young master, you are underestimating the inner post powerhouse."
"I came earlier. Which is why I was able to poison him. If not he could have destroyed this place with his power," He added.
Hearing that a look of understanding dawned on me.
"Alright, what's your next plan?" I asked.
Hearing that Jonathan recalled master's instruction. He wanted Zack to return with him after the end of year end conference.
"Just enjoy your stay here for the time being," Jonathan said with some meaning.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
Jonathan thought it's better to inform Zack.
"After the year end conference, I'm taking you with me to the inner post. Your true journey as a warrior starts from there," Jonathan replied.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. This is not the first time I'm hearing this. Jonathan hinted to me before.
But I never expected the information to be true.
Sigh!
A long sigh escaped from my mouth.
But the next second, a hint of expectation rose in my heart. I'm tired of not having lightning resources here.
If there were abundant resources there, I would have broken through multiple levels. So I'm looking forward to it.
A hint of appreciation flashes in Jonathan's eyes. He thought Zack would be reluctant.
"I'm going to stay until the end of the year. So don't worry about the threats. You can practice peacefully."
"In meantime, I'm going to check the stability of the barriers," Jonathan said.
Hearing that I became more assured. There won't be any attack on the academy during the year end conference.
Then I thought about the dean, Rebecca. Should I tell or not?
"What about the dean?" I asked.
Jonathan thought for a moment before nodding his head.
"You can tell her. It won't affect anything," Jonathan replied.
Then we landed on the ground. Jonathan disappeared from the spot. Seeing that I started walking towards the office building.
Soon, I reached the office building. When I arrived in front of the dean cabin.
Creak!
The door opened automatically.
Seeing that I walked into the room. Dean Rebecca is looking at me with solemn expression.
Seeing that my eyes flickered. She doesn't even know what happened to the Supreme Elder's mansion.
"Zack, you are here."
"Now, you can tell me. What happened?" Rebecca asked.
Hearing that I took a deep breath before starting to explain.
At first, Rebecca's expression was calm. But when she started to listen. Her expression changes drastically.
A few minutes later,
She broke out with a cold sweat.
Swish!
The next second, she disappears from the spot and starts moving towards the mansion.
When she got closer to the mansion. She saw the formation was gone. A hint of fear appeared in her eyes.
Someone has silently appeared in the academy and she doesn't even know about this. She thought about landing on the ground.
Then she sucked a cold breath of air.
She recalled Zack's words. There was a poison lingering in the air. If she goes down below, the poison might kill her.
When she thought about Cameron's death. She sighed inwardly. At least, one of the Supreme elders threatening the Academy was gone.
Hereafter, no one will pose a threat to the Viper Academy.
Sigh!
She let out a sigh before returning to the cabin.
A couple of seconds later,
She appears back in the office.
Seeing that Zack was here. A hint of complicated emotions flashes in her eyes. Earlier, she wondered why the Supreme Elder agreed to enroll Zack in the academy.
Now when she thinks back. That decision was the best. If not, the academy would have faced much more danger.
Thankfully, everything was fine now.
"What's your plan next?" She asked.
"Hmm, I'm going to try for a breakthrough. I hope the dean will help me to get some treasure pills," I answered.
