Tower City:
After getting valuable information from the inner house elder. Jonathan knocked him down unconscious. He doesn't want to kill him right now. It would alarm the Giant Tower Academy.
Now that he knows that one person was behind the whole scheme. Jonathan decided to infiltrate the academy.
But before doing that he thought about contacting Zack. Because of his covert operation. He closed off his communication networks.
Now that he has a clue. He knows where to start. After coming to the living room, he sat on the sofa and activated his sci-fi watch.
| Right after he received a lot of notifications. He ignored everything except the message from Zack Lockwood.
He wasn't surprised by the message. Before coming here, he had assured Zack. Next, he opened the message to read it.
After reading the message, he knitted his eyebrows further.
"Carlos Kent," He muttered to himself.
"Young master seems to be targeted by this person," He muttered. But from the interrogation. He didn't hear anything about Carlos Kent.
Jonathan was intrigued. The situation doesn't seem to be simple. Why is the Special Faction Head behaving strangely?
"No!"
"If there is an inner spy, then the young master's life would be in danger," Jonathan said to himself.
He is starting to regret his hasty decision. He. Should have checked that academy first. But because of the master's prestige. He thought there was nothing wrong with that academy.
But now his heart is telling him to go to the young master's side. After gaining some clarity, he decided to leave. He wants to check what's wrong with the person named Carlos Kent.
Then he sent a message to the young master about his departure.
...
Giant Tower Academy:
"Spineless b@stards"
"Wait for my plan to succeed. I will eliminate the dissent voices," The Giant Tower Headmaster cursed out in his cabin.
The matter of the disappearance of resources in the treasurer vault was learned by other elder factions.
Now they are demanding an explanation from him. But he had sent those resources to Carlos Kent for his breakthrough.
Now he knows that Carlos Kent has succeeded. It will be a matter of time before Zack Lockwood dies under his own hands. He is just waiting for a positive answer from him.
But these hostile elders are protecting us. He doesn't want them to convince their supreme elder. The supreme elder is turning a blind eye lately.
It doesn't mean that he wasn't aware. He knows some big man is giving me orders. If he succeeds not only will he cement his position. It will be many times beneficial for the Academy.
Beep!
A loud notification broke his imagination. When he saw the contact name. His mouth curved into arcs. The call is from Carlos Kent.
After attending the call, he asked, "How long are you going to delay the task?"
On the other side of the call, Carlos Kent was not angered. But he answered politely, "Have you heard about the uneven mountain canyon?"
The Head Master's eyes flickered with a slight glint. "Don't tell me you are going to use that place?" He asked.
"Ha...Ha...ha.., that's right"
"That place was located far away. There will be no variables. I can kill them and bury them silently in that gorge." Carlos Kent responded.
"Bury them?"
"Are you going to kill your other 2 students?" The headmaster asked out of curiosity. He didn't think that person was ruthless.
From the other side of the call. He heard an arrogant voice.
"What students?"
"Do you want me to leave behind the traces?"
"I have made up my mind to slip away after killing them," Carlos Kent said in a dissatisfied tone.
The Headmaster's eyes lit up with joy. The more talented warriors die from the Saw Scale Viper Academy, the more the better.
Anyway, it doesn't hurt their interest. But it will bleed their enemy academy.
"Good"
"Good"
"I'm waiting for your news, don't disappoint me," The headmaster replied.
Then after speaking for a few minutes. He ended the call. But the next moment, a ruthless glint flashes in his eyes.
"Carlos Kent will become a liability. I hope the esteemed one will take him out sooner," He said in his heart.
The esteemed one in his heart was none other than the middleman. Who was the actual mastermind behind the scenes? Now he knows the next course of action.
His job is to update the information to his boss.
...
From MC's perspective:
The following day,
When I woke up. I wanted to go back to sleep. But Carlos Kent's scheme did not make me do that. After getting out of bed. I started to do my morning routine.
Several minutes later,
I entered the training room to practice. There are still some monster cores left in my storage ring. Though my mood is down. I don't want to stop my training because of this person.
I walked to the middle and sat cross-legged down the platform.
I brought the monster core and held it in my palm. Then I started to run the blood element method.
Right after the blood rune in my consciousness started to flicker. Then I slowly started to absorb the energy from the monster's core.
When the energy entered my body. I guided the energy according to the blood element method. The energy began to flow through my meridians.
But right after the circulation the red blood light appeared above the blood and started to absorb these energies.
The absorbed energies are converted into white energies. Then the white energies began to drill into my skeleton.
Right after, I started to feel the heart-wrenching pain. The senses become numb after a few seconds.
I started to repeat the process.
The red color in my skeleton starts to expand.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
After a few hours, I opened my eyes. The monster's core crumbles into pieces. Feeling the improvement in strength. A hint of satisfaction flashes in my eyes.
Then I walked out of the training room and went to take a bath.
Several minutes later,
I changed into a fresh set of clothes. After getting ready, I exited the room.
When I reached the dining hall. I saw them again. Ernest and Laverne talking to each other. But after seeing me I stopped talking.
This scene was so familiar. But I'm glad that their complexion was better today.
Walking up to them, I asked, "Have you guys made up your mind?"
Ernest nodded his head and said, "We are not going."
Laverne added further, "You are right Zack. It's unnecessary to take risks. Since we know something is wrong with the mission. It's better not to go there."
Hearing that, a bright smile appeared on my face. I'm glad that they are not dumb. But when we entered the dining hall,
Some people are already waiting for us. Surprisingly, they are not male warriors. But the female warriors from the RainWater Faction.
"This?" Laverne was surprised to see them. Because she knows some of them.
"What are you guys doing here?" She asked.
One of the female warriors stepped forward and asked, "Sister Laverne, we are here for warrior Zack."
"Warrior Zack?" Laverne uttered in surprise.
Ernest seems to guess something. Yesterday, Eurice Frye's appearance made a lot of noise in the academy.
And it was not surprising to see them here. Maybe they are here for a challenge. Ernest then turned to Zack.
At the same time, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I thought they would take a few days to learn about me.
But it looks like the person behind them is quite confident in her strength. Then I saw the good-looking woman turn toward me.
"Zack Lockwood, we came here on behalf of our senior sister. She wants to fight you," She said.
"Fight me?" I uttered. An amusing smile appeared on my face. I looked at Ernest and Laverne.
Initially, I didn't take it seriously. But the timing is quite right. Since we made a decision not to go for the mission. We should come up with a good reason to convince Carlos Kent.
I was wondering what to do about this. But fortunately, the solution came to my door. I revealed a bright smile on my face before saying, "Well, I agree with your request. But the duel will take place this weekend."
Ernest and Laverne looked at each other. They weren't surprised by Zack's answer. But why this weekend?
The female warrior and her faction members are happy with my response. Then after thanking me, they swiftly left the place.
"Zack, why did you postpone the duel date?" Laverne asked.
But I looked around. Our conversation with Rain Water Faction Members is not secret. So people are starting to gossip about it. It will be a matter of time before it floods the social media site.
"Let's discuss this in detail," I answered before walking to the food counter. We received the food plate one by one before finding the empty seats to sit down.
After taking the seat, I looked at them and said, "This duel will give us reason to avoid going to the mission. Besides, I don't have lightning essence. So I have to make some preparations. It will take some time."
Ernest and Laverne nodded their heads in understanding.
