Chapter 730: New information Chapter 730: New information From MC’s perspective: The following day, From morning to the evening, I spent the time in all four training chambers.
When it was late evening.
I decided to take a walk outside.
Jonathan didn’t stop me.
As he is aware that I’m going to spend them in a nearby lake.
After stepping outside of the castle, I started walking towards the lake.
Not far away from here, Reiner Star is spying on everything.
He has been here ever since he received orders from the elders.
It’s just that he didn’t find an opportunity earlier.
Seeing that Zack Lockwood is going to the lake.
A good plan comes to his mind.
He walked out of the bushes.
His movements disturbed the leaves.
“Hmmm,” I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
“Someone is coming,” I said in my heart.
When I turned around, I saw that the person was none other than Reiner Star.
“What is he doing here?” a bad feeling comes to my heart.
These days I have a pretty good understanding about the forces here in the inner post.
Especially the 2 teams under Teacher Lowell were not loyal.
They are working under his command because of interest.
The next second, I activated the perception ability around me.
I have been trying to stop relying on this ability.
But looking at the current situation, I should have used it from the beginning.
“Ha…ha…ha…, brother Zack you are here,” Reiner said with a laugh.
Hearing that I sneered inside.
I can tell that he is lying.
His timing is unusual.
And he is expecting me to believe it.
“Brother Reiner, ts you.
What are you doing in our place at this time?” After saying that I started observing his actions through perception.
Follow new episodes on the "N0vel1st.c0m".
I don’t know why?
But my intuition tells me that he is unkind.
He has ulterior motives to come here.
Reiner didn’t change his expression.
He answered,”I’m here to enjoy the lake view as well.
Most of the time I’m busy doing the missions.
If I get any free time, I’ll come to enjoy the lake view.” “On top of it, it’s a private property of Head Lowell.
There will be no outsiders here,” When he added that a quick gleam flashes in his eyes.
The elder ordered him to collect information about Zack.
It can be only achieved through talking.
If he attacks Zack right now, then he is seeking death.
For his family calculations, he will be chased by Head Lowell.
Cold sweats started appearing on my forehead.
He knows about Lowell.
Especially after working in his hunting team.
His calculating schemes are no less than of the inner elder.
On the other hand, I kept smiling.
At the same time, I’m watching his movements through perception.
Slowly, we walked to the lake.
There are stone benches under the shade tree.
So I sat on it.
Seeing that Reiner’s eyes lit up.
He sat on the next stone table.
For a few minutes, we both didn’t talk.
I know Reiner is here for a purpose.
So I deliberately stayed silent.
10 minutes later, Reiner opened his mouth to say,”Zack, tell me about yourself.” “These days your name has attracted a lot of attention.
Almost all top forces knew about your existence.
If you walk outside, you can walk sideways in all the inner posts,” Reiner said with a smile.
Though it’s the start of his plan.
But the words are not lies.
They are facts.
On the other hand, my mouth curved into an arc.
From his words, I sense no hostility from it.
At least, he is not going to attack me.
“Brother, you over praised me,” I replied.
Reiner then talked about a few other things.
And everytime he got a positive response from Zack.
Finally, she revealed his claws.
“Zack, what about your strength?” “Most of the warriors in the family or clan, they travel outside when they reach SSS-Eite stage at least.
” “Later, they participate in various competitions across inne posts.
Which will give them fame and opportunities.” “A few of them have appeared in the top list of the inner post,” Reiner asked with a smile.
He is confident that Zack will spill his beans.
On the other hand, I was surprised.
Reiner gave me some new information.
Even the teacher didn’t tell me about the top list.
The next second, I furrowed my eyebrows.
If I ask him about the top list.
Then he will know that I’m not from the inner post.
What to do?
A question appeared in my heart.
Reiner saw Zack’s reaction.
Fearing that he was exposed, he asked,,”What’s wrong?” “I just asked casually.
Usually, the famous students are from those top lists.
You are the odd one,” Reiner added.
Which was one of the reasons everyone believes that Head Lowell has deep calculations.
By accepting an unknown student, he made a fool out of everyone.
On the other hand, I raised my hand to stop him.
“Brother Reiner, let’s enjoy the view.
You will know it when the time comes,” I said to him.
Reiner’s heart turned cold.
He didn’t want to cause a scene here and unnecessarily offend Head Lowell.
But at the same time, he doesn’t want to miss an opportunity.
A cruel plan comes to his mind.
“Alright brother, I’m leaving,” Reiner said before leaving the place.
Seeing that I was stunned for a moment.
I didn’t expect to give up like this.
He was up to something.
Then he gave up.
A look of understanding dawned on me.
“He was asking about my strength,” I said in my heart.
I don’t know whether he asked casually or if there is any meaning behind it.
When he was completely gone.
I returned to the castle.
The first thing I did was to meet Jonathan.
He was as usual enjoying his time reading books.
Seeing it felt strange.
I know Jonathan was busy.
But these days he seems to be guarding me.
“Jonathan?” I called out.
Hearing that Jonathan placed the books on the table before turning towards Zack.
“How was the lake view?” He asked.
Hearing that my eye gleaned with a twinkle.
“You knew!” I asked back.
Jonathan mysteriously smiled before saying,”I was paying attention to you.
I know that Reiner was with you.” “He was lucky that he didn’t make any moves against you,” Jonathan said in a cold tone.
Hearing that my heart was in turmoil.
“So there was something wrong with him,” I said in a solemn tone.
Jonathan nodded before saying,”Reiner is unnecessarily lurking near the castle.
He didn’t get summoned by the Master nor by me.” “So what was his purpose?” “He was doing this after the introductory meeting,” Jonathan added.
On the other hand, my expression turned worse.
So today’s meeting was not a coincidence.
Which means he was waiting for me.
Jonathan thought of something before asking,”Did you guys speak?” Hearing that I nodded my head before answering,”He was asking about my strength.” “He was wondering why my name was not on the top list.” Jonathan quickly connected the dots.
He understood everything.
He said,”Not everyone knows that you are from the outer post.
Some are waiting for the confirmation” “The big forces have their intelligence unit.
They will verify the information with one means before registering.” “When it comes to family and federation.
There was no need for it,” Jonathan said.
At the same time, I thought of something.
I asked,”What about the top list.?” “I haven’t heard it before.” Jonathan sighed inwardly.
He looked at Zack and decided to tell.
“You haven’t heard it before.
It’s normal.
Because your identity was unverified earlier.
Now you are part of 2 forces.
You can know about this.” “Top list is basically a ranking of powerful warriors in each realm.
There is a top list for SSS-Elite Stage, Commander Stage and General Stage.” “The top list competition is one of the major competitions across all the inner posts.” “There are other different competitions for Pill Makers, Healers, Refiners, Formation masters.” “But those professions are rare.
It’s not as attractive as the top list competition.” Hearing that I sucked a cold breath of air.
As I guessed, it’s a ranking inner post.
There was no such thing back in the inner post.
At that time, every Academy used spies to get intel about the genius warriors.
Here it’s totally different.
“Can I participate?” I asked back.
“Ha…Ha…ha…,” Jonathan let out a small laugh.
“Of course, you can participate.
But your strength has to be SSS-Super Elite.
Because most of the warriors in the list fight across ranks.” “Those SSS-Elite Warriors in the list can easily fight against Commander stage.
Even some of the geniuses remained unscathed against General Stage,” He added.
Hearing that I was shocked to the core.
Then I thought of something.
There was no news about it online.
“I didn’t see any information about this online,” I asked.
Jonathan nodded knowingly, he replied,”There is a reason for it.
The top list for SSS-Elite is mostly held in private.
If the strength is exposed earlier, they might be targeted.” “There were records of people dying before,” he added.
