(From MC's perspective)
The following day,
I left the Hansen building and decided to head toward the monster zone. I'm going to visit Marsh City's monster zone. This particular monster zone takes me back to memory lane.
I remember going there for the first time after I arrived in this red city. So a vague curiosity rose in my heart. At that time I was a rookie afraid of going deeper into the woods.
This time I must stay in the middle of the core area. A quick glint flashed in my eyes. After gaining some clarity, I boarded the air cab to go to the train station.
The cab driver this time is an ordinary warrior. After taking a glance at him, I sat back in a relaxed manner.
Soon the cab reached the station a few minutes later. I used a mask to cover my face as usual. So there is no chance for others to recognize me.
After paying the fees, I stride towards the entrance. My perception is not what it used to be. The range has increased many times.
Before entering inside, I think it's better to check out something. I activated my perceptual ability and spread it around the area.
Soon the movements of people appeared in my mind. After a couple of seconds, my mouth rises slightly. I noticed the presence of many Special Trainee Warriors.
How come such a small city like ours got so many Special Trainee warriors? I feel a little strange inside. Then shaking my head, I walked up to the entrance.
There is no point in exposing myself right now. There is still some time before the start of the Crimson Hall match. Then after entering inside, I walked past the crowd.
Last night, I told someone to come and see me. I wonder whether she will accept my request or not.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom 10 minutes later,
When I'm waiting for my train to Marsh City. A beautiful figure appeared before me. Her white mask failed to cover her identity. I quickly see through her.
"Maria Frazier," I said in my heart.
Before I could say anything she sat beside me.
"Zack, is that you?"
"Why can't I sense your cultivation base?"
Maria Frazier said in a low voice. But the excitement in her voice can be seen clearly.
Hearing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. "Trainee Warrior," My lips curved into a gentle arc.
Looks like the Frazier Clan heavily invested in her. I remember last time her cultivation was weak. But still, it can't save her from the dangers waiting in Odyssey Monster Zone.
"Maria, are you going to participate in Crimson Hall's match?" I asked. I know the truth but I want to hear from her.
Maria gave a slight pause before carefully observing Zack. She wondered what happened. Is this related to recent turmoil?
Her heart was not calm. She is aware of the incident that happened in Hansen Campus. The members from Crimson Hall have crossed the bottom line this time.
Even the City Lord seems to be supporting the Crimson Hall members. Then she solemnly nodded her head in response.
Seeing that I let out a deep sigh. I said, "Maria, you are a good friend of mine. So don't go to the Crimson Hall's competition."
A surprise flashed in Maria's eyes. She couldn't help but remember her father's recent behaviors. He seems to be very bothered about something.
Every time she asked about it. Her father denies anything wrong. Now looking at Zack. She feels her intuition is correct.
She asked, "Zack, what is it?"
"Do you know something?"
I nodded my head and told about the odyssey monster zone.
At first, Maria's face is calm. But soon her face becomes discolored instantly and her jade white hands start trembling.
"How is it possible?" After some seconds, she exclaimed in surprise. She knows how her clan decided to bet everything on her.
It's impossible to take a step back. Suddenly the image of her father comes to her mind. "No wonder my father looked dispirited," she bit her lips in worry.
Seeing the myriad of expressions of her. I sighed inwardly. The information is shocking even for an Elite level warrior like me. She just entered the Trainee Warrior realm not long ago. So I can understand her fluctuations in mood.
A few minutes later,
A firm determination appeared on her face. She shook her head and answered," Sorry, Zack. I can't go back. I have to join one of those academies."
I see a firm look in her eyes.
"Sigh"
I let out a deep sigh. Her family is not right. Suddenly, I remember Elder Thornton's words from some time ago. The Frazier clan here is just a side branch.
The real roots lie somewhere. Then I observed her with a different gaze. She has a burden like everyone else on her shoulder.
It is better to support her than to convince her to quit.
"Alright, I'll help you. Just ask your clan to prepare a few more trump cards," I said with a smile.
Apart from her, there is one more girl. I wonder what happened to her. She disappeared right after joining Hansen.
But I have this gut feeling that I will meet her soon.
Don't know why? Maria let go of her hanging heart. Zack's words gave a sense of confidence.
But still, the dangers awaiting there are real. She decided to find some trump cards.
Then she suddenly asked, "Are you going to the monster zone?"
I nodded in response.
Suddenly the announcement is made at this point.
Seeing that, I got up from the seat and was ready to board.
Maria made up her mind to join as well.
Seeing that I agreed to her request. Then she quickly booked the tickets. The train to Marsh city is empty.
Due to the availability of frequent trains, crowding and rushing can be avoided.
After a few minutes, we boarded the train. The train journey allows us to discuss.
I wanted to know about Crimson Hall. The Frazier Clan seems to have some contact with the City Lord.
On the way, I inquired about many things. Especially the name of the Crimson Hall members. I can't forget their names. They had participated in the Star Tower as well.
My expression turned gloomy for a second. Looks like it is not that easy to get revenge. Among the members some of them were innocent. Especially the girls, they even took initiative to warn me last time.
But I calmed down a few seconds later. I also learn about City Lord's contact with Maria's father. It seems the City Lord is simply using the Frazier Clan's head.
After figuring out the ins and outs, I decided to tell Jonathan later.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
Several hours later, the train reached Marsh City. We stepped out of the train and quickly headed towards the monster zone.
The monster zone is close to the city. So we quickly reached the spot without stopping anywhere.
Finally, the huge wall came into view. It feels like a deja vu. I remember venturing into the woods alone last time.
Then we quickly went towards the office to register my name.
After registering the name, we quickly entered inside. The guards didn't stop us. When we entered inside, I found the area didn't change a bit at all.
Especially the narrow path which leads to the inner area. Then I lead her to the inner area. Only in the inner area, we can come across some monsters.
Maria silently followed from behind. She wasn't able to see through his cultivation base. But she feels Zack's strength is unfathomable.
Soon the duo walked past the hurdles along the way. The overgrown bushes were quickly cleared by two.
Swish!
A wild boar appears in front of me. Seeing that I signaled Maria to deal with it. The wild boar monster can be dealt with by elite-level coercion alone.
So I decided to stand back and relax.
Maria didn't waste any more time. She hurriedly leaped forward to attack the monster.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
On the way, Maria cleared all low-level monsters without much effort. Seeing that, a quick glint flashed in my eyes.
"Zack, why didn't you start attacking from now on?" Maria asked while blinking her big eyes.
She noticed Zack's laid-back style. Which annoyed her greatly. She wants to witness Zack's strength from her own eyes.
Hearing that I raised my eyebrows.
Swish!
A wind wolf appeared in the vicinity. Seeing that my lips curved into a gentle arc. I looked at her before disappearing from the spot.
Swish!
"This speed," Maria widened her eyes in disbelief. She didn't even find the silhouette.
In a blink of an eye, I appeared above the monster.
"Oops!" I noticed that I used my flight ability unconsciously.
Then I landed on the ground in an instant.
The wind wolf scared sh!t. It's a mere Class 2 Monster. I raise my palm to slap it away casually.
Pfff!
The wind wolf turned into blood mist the next second.
