(Zack's Perspective)
After parting ways from them, I returned back to my room few minutes later. It's a single bed room accommodation situated near the dormitory. After coming back to my room, I went to take a cold shower, a couple of minutes later, My tiredness gone, I worn a causal cloth and lying down on my bed to take small nap.
A couple of minutes later, I glanced at the wrists watch to view ti. There is still so hours left before Mr. Jonathan's arrival. I let out a huge sigh, I don't know what to do until then. I have been training hard lately, Even I'm using training chambers during night tims. But I feel, I need so fresh air. Suddenly, an idea pop up in my mind. "Why don't I visit dical facility to see Mr. Arthur?" I mumbled under my breath.
I can also take walk to get fresh air and in the sa way, I can inquire about his current health condition. Even, Ms. Adeline key seems to visit him ti to ti. I thought this is good plan. After making up my mind, I called Elder Thornton.
As the call connected, a surprise voice sounded in my ears. "Oh! What is it Zack? Do you need anything?" Elder Thornton inquired from other side of the call.
Hearing that I explained my intention to him. Elder Thornton is not surprised by Zack's request. But he asked sothing else.
Elder Thornton asked, "Did you see Elder Jensen?"
I'm surprised actually, does he know? I shook my head and told him about my encounter with Elder Jensen and the strange kid. I also told him about Elder Jensen's deliberate attempt to discredit .
The other hand, I'm also curious about that strange kid's identity. So, I asked, "Ahem, Elder. Who is that new kid? Is it new enroll or sothing?"
Listening to Zack's encounter details with Elder Jensen and Dean Curry, Elder Thornton couldn't control his fury. He really felt that Elder Jensen need so smacking, so that he can be bedridden forever. "He wants to cause rift between Dean Curry and Zack?" Elder Thornton don't know whether to laugh or cry.
For now Adrian Curry and his son may seem big wheel, but actually Zack's teacher is the real big man behind the scene.
Even Adrian Curry is clueless about it. Otherwise. He would have t Zack in advance. Elder Thornton couldn't help but speculate few theories.
Seeing that Zack is awaiting for his answer, Elder Thornton sighed. He answered, "Zack if you co across Dean Curry. Try as much as possible to not to have contact with him; He and his father ca from federation. You know federation is our major share holder. Elder Thornton will definitely try to create dispute. So, be careful."
A sense of astonishnt appeared in my heart. " The Army Federation, it's a big handwriting. " I said to myself. No wonder this kid's dressing is so good. After careful understanding of Elder Jensen's thod this ti. I couldn't help but clench my fist in frustration. This old fox is really not thinking about letting go off past. Then I comnted, "Elder Thornton, What should we do with Elder Jensen? He is really unkind. " I said with a long sigh.
The other hand Elder Thornton already saw through his worries. He answered, "You don't need to worry about him. Just try to focus on increase your strength. "
Hearing that I shook my head in disappointnt. How easy it could be to kill an Elder? I don't know but if it necessary, I should prepare so ans to deal myself.
Then we talked about few other things, finally Elder Thornton allowed to visit Mr. Arthur. After ending the call, I began to get ready to go out.
A couple of minutes later, I stepped outside of the building. Fortunately, I didn't co across anybody along the way. Then I booked an air cab to nearby dical facility. Soon, a white color cab landed in parking platform.
A fifty year old middle aged man gesture to get inside. After confirming the air can number, I entered.
The air cab took off and flew away. A couple of second later, the middle age man asked additional identify verification. I was surprised hearing that.
"Why are you asking additional information?" I inquired in a calm tone.
The cab driver didn't felt anything wrong. He seems to be dealing with sa situation since few days. He said, "Custor, its an order from the city lord. Unidentified person is not allowed to travel."
"From when?" Hearing that I blurted out imdiately. Why are these sudden norms popping up now?
The cab driver explained carefully, "Hmm, It's been going on since past few days. I don't know what happen. But seeing the effort of patrol team. I believe they are looking for trails of outsider."
"Trails of outsider." I murmured those words. I only felt headache by his words. So much things going on inside the city. Any way, its nothing to with , as I shrugged off imdiately.
A several minutes later, the air cab landed near the top dical facility in the red stone city.
After stepping out, I imdiately collected details from receptionist. Fortunately, they are allowing the visitors to see. Soon, I ca to the third floor through lift. After passing few rooms, I ca across room no.110. The door is opened. Seeing that I stepped inside, I saw Mr. Arthur is talking with Ms. Adeline Key.
"As expected! " I said to myself. Then I knocked the door to notify my arrival.
Seeing the sudden visitor both of them jolted awake and stopped their talking. Seeing the familiar face both of them stunned.
"Zack, What are you doing here?" Ms. Adeline Key inquired in surprise.
"He…He…He.., ntor, Why I am not suppose to co here? I asked Elder Thornton's permission to see him." I said with a smile.
Ms. Adeline key expression eased but the others hand, Mr. Arthur is having complicated expression seeing Zack.
He comnted, "Zack, Close the door first."
Hearing that I nodded at him and locked the door. I knew there is going to be deep conversation.
Seeing Zack locked the door, Mr. Arthur gesture him to take nearby seat. Then he asked Ms. Adeline key to activate the isolation barrier.
Seeing Mr. Arthur 's actions, I didn't say anything. But every ti if so uses their artefact it always fascinates . Now a days, I'm fiddling with artefacts received from life and death duel. Most of them were one ti use, activated during duel.
After Ms. Adeline Key activates the barrier. A transparent screen envelops them, protecting their conversation from prying eyes.
Mr. Arthur is currently in sleeping position, using pillow under his neck. He adjusted his posture little bit then he looked at Zack and asked, "What is going on in the campus?"
Hearing that I'm stunned. I'm the one who supposed to inquire his health condition by the way. Why is he asking about campus now? I pondered little. Then I caught sothing, may be he is worried about restoration.
Then I looked at both of them and answered, " ntor and Mr. Arthur, Don't worry? The building restoration is going on in full swing. I believe in few weeks we can see brand new building." I said with a enthusiastic smile.
Hearing that Mr. Arthur and Ms. Adeline looked at each other and let out a weird expression. Seeing their expression, I'm sowhat confuse. So, I asked, "What happened?"
Ms. Adeline key rolled her eyes at Zack and asked, "Don't you know? What's happening in our Red stone city these days?"
Hearing that the first thing that ca to my mind is air cab driver 's statent.
I nodded and said, "I heard City lord's patrol team is looking for soone."
Mr. Arthur let out a sigh and said, "Looks like other than training, you don't seems to be interested in other things."
Seeing Zack still maintaining clueless expression, Mr. Arthur comnted, "It's true that City Lord is Searching for so one. But don't you guess who is it?"
"Elite Assassin" I uttered.
Hearing my guess, Mr. Arthur nodded and said, " Yes, But I' m not sure 100%. Things beginning to change after that incident in our campus."
"Did they know?" I asked in surprise tone. We already told them we are attacked by bounty hunters. I don't know why there is a big movent.
Hearing my question, both of them shook their heads.
Mr. Arthur smiled and said, "That's why I asked is there anything going on in our campus."
Suddenly, I realized sothing, the appearance of officials from federation. Even Elder Thornton seems to be busy. Especially, encounter with Elder Jensen and that strange kid. Does the official have sothing to do with City lord's handwriting.
Then I explained everything to Mr. Arthur and Ms. Adeline key.
"You said, Elder Jensen is flattering official's son." Ms. Adeline key asked in surprised tone.
The other hand, Mr. Arthur didn't doubt anything. He comnted, "No, wonder. Elder Thornton didn't pick up my call today. He seems to be busy. But from your explanation, it's clear that official from federation is not in lower post." Then he sneered, " To think Elder Jensen trying to gain lost li light is like a death seeking gesture."
Then Ms. Adeline Key said, "Its good that you didn't fall in his trap." She said in a serious tone.
Hearing her words, I smiled and said, "Don't worry, ntor. Even though Elder Jensen is trying to curry his favor. But the son of that official is not even buying his words." I let out a small laugh saying that.. I rembered how he foolishly released his aura.
