From MC's perspective:
"Eurice Frye," I muttered to myself. I just overheard the conversation. So this ti top genius from the Rain Water Faction has ended her retreat.
If she is from the Rain Water Faction, then her elent is either water or a mutation of it. But I'm no longer the sa. I can kill the early-stage Super Elite Warriors.
Thinking about it my mouth curved into an arc. Sooner or later, there will be a confrontation. But I'm not worried about this right now.
Looking at Ernest and Laverne conversing with others. My eyes glead with a twinkle. I wonder what Carlos Kent is planning?
Last ti the rogue warriors surrounded us. This ti the situation might be grim. When I was lost in thoughts, Ernest and Laverne ca back.
"Let's go," Ernest said.
Then we walked to the food counter to receive the food plate. We found nearby empty seats to sit down.
"Zack, are you going to fight Eurice?" Laverne asked.
Ernest also looked at before saying, "Don't underestimate her. As far as I know, her water elent is different. She also practices matching techniques."
"She can even suppress the average fla faction warriors," Ernest added further.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. As I guessed before, soone appreciated by so many warriors was not an ordinary warrior.
But I responded then with a smile. These guys are not going to bring up the topic of the mission.
"Ernest"
"Laverne"
"I think we should not go for this mission," I said.
Ernest and Laverne widened their eyes in surprise. They didn't expect to hear such words from .
Ernest was quick to realize. He asked, "Did you notice sothing?"
Laverne's face turned serious as well.
"That person is acting differently. Even the dean seems helpless right now," I answered.
"What?" Ernest blurted out in surprise. Then he noticed his voice was loud. So he controlled his emotions before asking, "What did the dean say?"
Laverne remained quiet. But her eyes are looking for answers as well.
"She can't judge him without evidence. That guy was going fine all these years. But he suddenly acts out for so reason. So the dean can't accuse him without any concrete evidence," I said.
"It's over. If the dean can't protect us then who else will," Laverne asked in a dispirited tone. She seems to be deeply worried.
Ernest remained quiet as well. Seeing their complex emotions, I sighed inwardly. I can tell that Carlos was targeting .
But he can't move against directly. That's why he was involved with the people around .
Seeing that food is turning cold.
"Let's eat our al before making the decision," I comnted.
My words brought their thoughts back to reality. Then we started eating the food.
Several minutes later,
We walked out of the dining hall. But the people's curious gazes never left . On the way, I turned toward them and said, "Alright, we have seven days to report. Let's think of so solution tomorrow."
Ernest and Laverne nodded their heads before parting ways. Seeing their disappearing back, my eyes glead with a twinkle.
Looks like my words hit them hard. If not for my words they wouldn't have understood the seriousness of this mission.
After taking a glance at them, I started heading toward the gravity chamber.
...
anwhile,
Jonathan is investigating the Tier-6 City. People call it the Tower City which is nad after the Giant Tower Academy.
After getting information from Zack, he directly ca to the area under the jurisdiction of the Giant Tower Academy.
Since they are the ones who are trying to murder Zack. Jonathan had started his investigation from here.
He had spent a few days in vain. But a few days back he had captured one of the inner elders of the Giant Tower Academy.
The inner elder used to visit this Tower City in his leisure ti. But this ti during his visit he was caught by Jonathan.
Right now, Jonathan entered his temporary mansion. The captured elder was imprisoned in the underground. The underground area was supposed to be used as a wine cellar.
But he changed the place into the interrogation room.
When I walked down to that place. He felt the fast breathing of the inner elder. Seeing that the guy was awake.
Jonathan beca spirited. He had promised Zack to eliminate his troubles. So he can't afford to waste any ti.
He also ca to this outer post for a limited amount of ti. One was to make sure of Zack's safety. And the other one was sothing to do with his mission.
Which he had planned to do later. Right now he is fixated on one thing. He wants to know whether they are targeting Zack for his talent or sothing else.
The inner elder was behind bars. Jonathan opened the gate and walked inside. Hearing footsteps, the inner house elder raised his head and asked, "Who are you?"
The inner house elder is an important person. He is an SS-Elite Warrior. Jonathan knows that he didn't catch him on a whim.
"You still dare to ask ?" Jonathan uttered in a cold tone.
Jonathan waved his hand. But the inner house elder's pupils shrank. He went blank.
Argh~
But the next second he scread out loud. He is suffering from a severe headache. Like soone is stomping on his head. This inhuman torture broke his defense.
A dignified SS-Elite Warrior didn't expect to suffer a fate like this.
The place was protected with barriers. His screaming won't be heard by outsiders.
Shortly after, Jonathan stopped his attack.
Tud~
The inner house elder collapsed on the ground. But he managed to retain a trace of clarity.
Jonathan smiled and asked, "Now you can understand my ability. This was one of my tricks. But if you fail to cooperate, then I'll show you my other tricks."
"You won't be the sa in the end," He added further.
The inner house elder shuddered. He realized the strength of this person. Even the headmaster won't be able to do this trick. The person is many tis scarier than the headmaster
Who is he? The inner house elder was shocked to the core. But later part of the words made him pale with fright.
This person is soone he couldn't afford to offend.
"What do you want?" He asked.
Hearing that Jonathan was satisfied by his questions.
Jonathan answered, "For starters, why don't you introduce yourself?"
The inner house elder was stunned. "Don't tell he captured without knowing my identity?" The inner house elder said in his heart.
But he didn't dare to make any wild guesses.
"I'm Nick Tiles. Inner House elder of the Giant Tower Academy. I'm responsible for student affairs," He answered.
"Nick, a good na," Jonathan comnted.
But the inner house elder was not in a mood to enjoy. He was not sure why he was captured there.
"Alright then, I'm going to ask a few questions. Answer them without hiding anything."
"If not, I will increase your pain manyfold," Jonathan said.
But his words scared him sh!t.
The inner house elder made up his mind to answer everything. He is not at all ready to face that kind of torture again.
"Okay," Elder Nick answered.
"Good" Jonathan uttered before asking, "I want to know why your academy is targeting Zack Lockwood?"
"Zack Lockwood?" Elder Nick uttered. The na sounds familiar to him. When he recalled the na from his mory.
It takes him back to the ergency eting conveyed a few weeks ago. Where the Giant Tower Headmaster had used the decade-long foundation to kill one person.
But he failed in the end. The na of the target was Zack Lockwood. The lighting elent warrior from the Saw Scale Viper Academy.
After recalling everything, he broke out in a cold sweat.
"So you know sothing?" Jonathan asked.
Hearing that Elder Nick was petrified on the spot. He can tell that the person in front of him is stronger than their headmaster.
And Saw Scale Viper Academy can't have such an existence. But he didn't dare to delay so he nodded his head in response.
"Zack Lockwood defeated our students during the student exchange et. To seek revenge the headmaster is trying everything to kill Zack Lockwood," Elder Nick answered.
Jonathan furrowed his eyebrows. "Headmaster?" He uttered in doubt.
Elder Nick nodded his head before starting to explain. It's not a surprise that the Giant Tower Headmaster was making unanimous decisions these days.
His decision alone caused them so much damage. So Elder Nick told the current situation in the academy.
Everyone is hoping to sack the headmaster from his position. But unfortunately, the headmaster doesn't seem to care.
He is going to make the sa decision again.
A few minutes later,
Jonathan frowned deeper. He had thought the academy elders were behind the decision-making.
But now it doesn't look like that. A single person is targeting Zack Lockwood. And the rest of the elders are protesting against him.
The next second, his eyes grew cold. If the information is true then sothing is wrong with the headmaster.
