From MC's perspective:
The duel stage,
I'm feeling a tightening sensation in my chest. When the referee announced the result. I looked toward Eurice Frye. She gave me an evil grin before leaving the stage.
Seeing that I suddenly feel bad. She didn't have any regrets or disappointments. She looks happy and carefree.
This was not supposed to be her reaction. Looking at her disappearing back. My eyes flickered.
Then I left the duel stage. When I returned to the entrance. I saw Ernest and Laverne waiting for me.
Upon seeing them both walked toward me.
"Zack, you surprised us," Laverne said with a smile on her face.
Ernest said, "We didn't know that you recovered your lightning essence."
Both of them said one after another. But when they took a closer look at my appearance, They were shocked.
"What happened to your complexion?"
"You look sick," Ernest said.
A quick glint flashes in my eyes.
"I was fine before the duel. But something happened to me during the duel. I don't know what?" I replied.
Both of them looked at each other. Seeing their worries in my eyes, I said, "Maybe her strange element is affecting me."
"There is a possibility for it. Her water element is different," Laveren commented.
Ernest also showed a thoughtful look.
Seeing that I sighed inwardly. It's better to not bother them. And the problem is something I'm not sure of.
Then I changed the topic and started discussing something else.
Meanwhile,
People are leaving one by one. But one person is staying in the same spot with a happy expression on his face.
Carlos Kent is grinning ear to ear. His plan was a success. He noticed Zack's worsening complexion during the duel. Like someone was drained completely.
If not for Zack's quick decision, it would not have been easy to win the duel.
Especially when the poison inside the body is working fully.
Jonathan's eyes grew cold. He knew something happened to Zack during the duel. His eyes are far better than anyone else. And the behavior of the opposing girl also made him suspicious.
Like she had not participated in the duel to win in the 1st place. At this moment, Jonathan made the firm decision in his great.
His suspicion about Carlos Kent has also grown big. So when everyone left. He instantly appeared behind Carlos and knocked him unconscious.
From beginning to end, Carlos wasn't aware that someone had already caught his tail.
Like the Giant Tower Elder, Jonathan is going to lock him up in the basement. He knew the strength of Carlos. So he has some measures in his hands.
Before dragging away Carlos. Jonathan looked at Zack's direction. He strongly feels Zack is in some kind of trouble.
He decided to return after locking him up.
The result of the duel started to spread like wildfire. Though people have watched it live. Everyone is still discussing the duel.
Several minutes later,
I returned to my room after separating from Ernest and Laverne. We discussed the monster zone.
Seeing that my essence was recovered. They wanted to visit a difficult monster zone tomorrow. But I know my condition was not better.
So hurriedly came back to my room. After closing the door, I entered the training room. First, I want to see what's wrong with my body.
I walked up to the middle and sat cross-legged on the ground. After closing my eyes, I started observing my inner organs.
The next second, my heart set off storms. I saw black color dots all over my inner organs.
"What is this?" I muttered in my heart.
The inner organs seem to have weakened because of these black dots. No wonder, I felt so drained.
On top of that, I'm also a body cultivator. If not for the dual strength, I don't know what would have happened right now.
Then a sudden realization struck my mind. I should cultivate the wooden scripture. Maybe the healing elements might cure this unknown power.
When I started to run the wooden scripture. I began to absorb the green color essence in my body.
The Green color essence then started to show changes. They immediately began to attack the black color dots.
Seeing that I confirmed something in my heart. These black dots are poisons. Now the healing element is actively counter-attacking it.
But when did I get poisoned? I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion. I guess the person who poisoned me doesn't know that I'm a healer.
After removing the distracting thoughts, I started to focus on healing.
Meanwhile,
Jonathan brought Carlos Kent to Viper City several minutes later. He didn't go anywhere but straight to Carlos' mansion.
That place is best for the interrogation. There is no underground cellar in that house. But there is a large training room.
Jonathan used Carlos' I.D. to enter inside. After dropping the body on the ground. He looked around.
The training room was built with rare metals. It can withstand the attack from the SS-Elite Warrior.
After taking a glance at the room. Jonathan turned to Carlos Kent. Right now he wants to go back and check Zack Lockwood.
But there is a chance that Carlos will wake up after a few minutes. A quick glint flashes in his eyes.
He takes out a liquid potion from his storage ring. He normally used to drug the person before interrogation.
This potion will extend Carlos' sleep. He won't be able to get up for at least the next three hours.
Next, he opened Carlos' mouth and poured a liquid potion. After doing that he began to observe the changes.
A few minutes later,
ƥandasnovel.com He touched Carlos' heart to observe the changes. The heart was beating at a slow rate. With that, he confirmed that the potion is working.
Then without any hesitation, he took the I.D. back and left the training room. After leaving the house, he appeared in mid-air the next second.
And then started to fly toward the academy.
Meanwhile,
Eurice Frye went back to her dorm room directly. She didn't even bother to check her teacher.
Now she has to wait for the next part of the resources to appear. She accomplished the task.
She also saw Zack being affected by the poison. Which indicates that Zack will face death soon.
So she isn't worried about anything right now. It only matters when? The poison will do its job.
It's difficult to tell when it will work fully.
On the other hand,
Rebecca is sitting down in the chair. But her expression was not right. Her mind was in a state of conflict.
She thinks that Zack has gone outside without her permission. Other than that there was no other explanation for Zack's recovered lightning essence.
She thought for a moment before summoning the guardians.
Two shadow guardians appeared within minutes. They are none other than Zack's protector.
Looking at them, Rebecca asked them in a cold tone, "Have you watched the duel?"
Hearing that both nodded with solemn expressions on their faces. Both realized the reason for their summons.
Both of them are surprised equally after seeing Zack using his lightning attacks.
Sitting cross-armed, Rebecca asked again, "When did it happen?"
The male guardian stepped forward to reply, "Dean, you misunderstood us."
"We never left the academy," He added further.
A disbelief appeared on Rebecca's face.
"What do you mean by that?"
"It's impossible for Zack to leave without his protectors following him from behind."
"You two must have known about his recovered lightning essence," Rebecca asked.
The male guardian's face turned dark. He then turned toward the female colleague.
The female guardian shook her head before saying, "Dean, trust us. We kept our eyes on Zack. We thought he was staying in his dorm room."
"But right now both of us are confused as well," She added.
Rebecca frowned. She had thought both the guardians failed to report her. But it looks like it's not. Both of them were kept in the dark as well.
"How did he manage to do that?" Rebecca asked herself.
Both the guardians heard her mumbling. They too want to know the answer as well.
At this time, the male guardian asked, "Dean, you should summon Zack here. Only he can explain the situation."
Rebecca let out a small sigh.
"He must be tired right now. I'll ask him later, you guys can go back," Rebecca said.
Both the guardians nodded their heads before disappearing from the spot.
Rebecca then texted Zack to come to her office tomorrow morning. As the guardians said, only Zack can solve her confusion.
If not for Carlos' incident, she might have called Zack right now. But after that incident, she can tell that Zack is avoiding her.
A bitter smile appeared on her face. What can she do? The Supreme Elder is taking the side of Carlos Kent. She can't do much about it.
Rain Water Faction Head's cabin,
Alice Brown came back to her cabin. But her expression was not right. She was utterly disappointed by Eurice's performance.
She thought Eurice didn't give it her all. The opponent Zack seemed tired out during the late stages of the duel.
If Eruice had planned better, the results might have turned in her favor.
