From MC's perspective:
Goodwill City, the day before the year-end conference.
Everyone has arrived before the start of the year-end conference. Strangely, all the 6 big academies are present.
But none of their Supreme Elders chose to accompany them. Both the Eclipse Academy and Viper Academy didn't have the existence of the Supreme Elder.
But nobody knows the truth. Apart from the academy people, people from other small and big organizations are present in this city.
Including the people from the federation and Hunter League.
Manager Shaw is keeping an eye on the information. He is getting updates from the local branch of the Goodwill City.
Even though the Head Manager never showed his presence after that incident. He still keeps an eye on Zack and the people around him.
He fears that a similar situation might happen again. Don't know who revealed the news.
The remnants of the Crimson Hall are taking refuge under the Steel City. And these people are not entering illegally.
Because some of them got serious money. And they are investing in the Steel City. Even if he wants to drive them away, it's difficult to do it under the current situation.
The Goodwill City has attracted a lot of unknown eyes. Rich merchants and some healing organizations have also entered the city.
Each of the academies has its own newly built mansion. Which is enough for 20 to 30 people to stay.
The mansions are not adjacent to each other. But they are located in different directions from the event place.
At the east of the event arena, a white mansion was located. Which is a walkable distance from the event place.
Dean Rebecca and the students have settled down in their room.
Meanwhile,
Inside one of the rooms, 2 people are seriously discussing something.
One of them was Jonathan and the other one was myself.
"It's hard to believe that the Hunter League didn't retaliate," I said to Jonathan.
When Jonathan handled the matter then. I had thought the Hunter League might come again to cause trouble.
But surprisingly the journey was peaceful from beginning to end. Even after coming here, there was no one to bother us.
Now everyone is busy preparing for the event tomorrow.
Then I saw Jonathan still looking at the outside view through the window.
"Jonathan, what happened?" I asked.
Hearing that Jonathan's thoughts returned to reality.
"I'm just checking whether anyone is near," Jonathan replied.
Hearing that I thought of something serious.
"Are you wondering whether the Supreme Elder of those academies might come here?"I asked.
It was a strange thing. There was no reason for other Supreme elders not to come here.
Jonathan shook his head before saying, "Even if they come, you don't have to worry about anything."
But he was thinking about something else in his mind. Master has asked him to return with Zack as soon as possible.
This message he got yesterday. The encrypted message he received was short. There was no extra information in it.
So he couldn't help but think about what was so urgent about it. Before coming here, he had a conversation with his master.
That his master is going to make Zack his representative. The news was not known to outsiders.
He thinks that the Master's family is behind this. They might be waiting for his answer. He knew that the master's family had asked him to appoint someone.
But the Master is waiting for Zack to appear. These things can't be said to Zack right now. It will only add the extra pressure.
On the other hand, I remained silent. Because I have realized something is troubling Jonathan. But he is not willing to reveal anything.
Shortly after, he left the room.
In the evening time,
I met with Ernest and Laverne. We have decided to go out for a walk. Not only us but others also decided to do the same as well.
When we started to roam around the streets. We came across the warriors from other academies. This time, I spotted warriors wearing a white color dress with a silver cloud badge.
There is no need to ask. I immediately guessed their identity.
"Warriors from the Silver Clouds Academy are here," Ernest said in a solemn tone.
Laverne's expression changes as well.
'No matter where you go. You will find people with arrogant attitudes," I said in my heart.
When we are looking at them. The warriors from the Silver Clouds Academy were also looking at us.
Don't know why? They left after looking at us.
"Strange!" Ernest muttered.
"I thought some conflict might happen," Laverne said from the side.
Looking at the disappearing back, my eyes flickered. Their behavior was not normal. It's like those warriors are deliberately avoiding us or it's safe to say that they are afraid of Viper Academy.
I shook my head before walking away from the place. Then we went to a few shops. After spending some time, we have decided to return.
But on the way back, I came across someone unexpected.
"Maria," I said in a surprising tone.
A beautiful lady with light blue hair is buying something in front of the shop. After hearing the name and voice, she turned around to look at the person.
"Zack!" Maria Frazier's face lit up with joy. She is with her WhitePalaces friends.
"She is my friend from my hometown, Maria Frazier," I introduced her to Ernest and Laverne.
Maria is also introducing her friends to us.
Then suddenly, I spotted something.
"Super Elite Peak Stage," I said in my heart. Maria kept her aura hidden. But I can sense it easily. She became stronger than me right now.
My heart set off storms. Which means her talent was not lower than mine.
Suddenly, images of those blood tests conducted in the Hansen Academy come to mind.
I remember meeting her for the first time there.
Right now, her achievements are not lower than mine.
When the introduction was done. I saw her expression change when she looked at me. A hint of complex emotions flashes in her eyes.
"She knows," I said in my heart. The death and destruction of the Hansen Academy and its people.
I thought no one knew about it.
"Ernest and Laverne, if you guys want you can leave. I would like to talk with her for some time" I said to them.
Hearing that Ernest and Laverne weren't surprised. They politely left the place. Seeing that Maria did the same.
When the friends are gone. I looked at her and said,"Let's find a restaurant."
Soon, we found a luxurious restaurant with private space. After walking inside, we entered the private room.
We sat opposite each other and ordered some food.
Soon, the food was placed. And the person who was serving food left the room.
"I heard you have killed a few of those Crimson Hall people," Maria said.
Hearing that I confirmed my doubts. She was aware of the incident.
"Sigh"
"I didn't expect this could happen at that time," I replied with a sigh.
"From where do you learn it?" I asked. Because the communication was blocked due to a boundary. It's difficult to know the hometown news.
Maria nodded her head in understanding.
"It was my father. When the incident was taking place. He and the old butler have managed to save a few people."
"But Arthur and Ms. Key have died while protecting others. Even Elder Thornton was fighting someone powerful at that time."
"My father didn't try to save them. Because the City Lord was leading the destruction," She added.
Hearing that a murderous intent flashes in my eyes. It's like someone opened the old wound forcibly.
Maria's face changes drastically. Even though she is Peak Stage Super Elite Warrior. At this moment, she feels the danger.
"Calm down"
Jonathan's voice reached my ears. It quickly dispelled the murderous intent.
The next second, my forehead is filled with cold sweat.
Even though Jonathan is roaming outside. He is still keeping an eye on Zack. When he saw Maria Frazier. He knew this would happen.
A little away from this luxurious restaurant.
Jonathan is standing at the top of a certain building. He is enjoying the view.
Realizing the last name of the girl. A quick gleam flashes in his eyes.
"Frazier Clan?" He muttered to himself.
Then he looked at her again to confirm something.
"Super Elite Peak Stage at this age. This girl is not simple. Could it be?" Jonathan said in his heart.
Inside the restaurant,
"Zack, I thought about taking revenge as well. But our academy elder also found that someone from the hunter league was behind the scenes at that time."
"When my father learned about the Hunter League. He had warned me not to offend them," Maria revealed the truth with teary eyes.
Hearing that I remained silent. I knew about his father and old butler. Those guys were cautious even back then.
They are cautious even now.
Nothing can't be done now. The Hansen Academy has gone completely. The person responsible for this incident was killed by Jonathan.
"It's time to move on," I said in my heart.
