Chapter 204 - Next Adventure

The other hand Elder Thornton ended the call, after telling him that good news.

Time went on, Several weeks later,

Zack's life return back to normal. In these few weeks, several changes took place. The suspension lifted off, therefore warriors return back to the Hansen campus to train. As the restoration project is completed. The Hansen building looked like brand new.

The other hand Mr. Arthur got discharged from Medical Facility. As he recovered hundred percent, he began to work again in the Hansen campus.

In mean time, life or death duel event ended. Zack remained victorious from all the matches. He killed his opponents in his matches, claiming convincing victory. As a result, his position as a Seed Candidate also consolidated. No one caused any objections over this.

Then Zack shifted his entire energy towards raising his calculation level. But after having whole level ascension from Trainee Apprentice to Special Trainee. The Dantian Space is widened, it took lot of cultivation time for him to restore the lighting essence.

So, next breakthrough will probably take coupe of months. After confirming his thoughts, Zack focused even more on his cultivation. While in his skill level he reached Peak level in beginner stage of Small Wheel Division.

Right now, he is at his home. It's been long since he shifted his accommodation back to his home.

(Zack's POV)

At the dining table,

"Zack, this food is made with lot of strong ingredients. Especially, Spiritual vegetables." Granny Park said with a smile, as she points out various ingredients in the food.

Hearing that I nodded at her, I began to taste the food. After having first few spoons, "This is amazing!" I exclaimed in surprise. The strong energy from the food alleviate the hunger and brings warm energy to cells.

Hearing my words, Granny Park smiled.

The other hand, Mr. James too complemented, "He is right, Ms. Park. The food is good. But you don't have to do all of this. You know?"

Hearing that I too supported his words. She is old, why she have to work instead of resting?.

Hearing that Granny Park refuted our words. I shook my head in disapproval. It's hard to convince her not to do that. She finds joy in cooking the food. So, I'm happy anyway.

Then discussion shifted to some other topic,

As Mr. James asked, "Zack, What is your next plan?"

I stopped eating for a moment, and began to ponder seriously about it. I knew why he is asking like that. I need to explore more places like Mountain Liz. Where places filled with more lightning essence. Cultivating out there, I can reduce next breakthrough time.

Then I answered, "I have been searching places like Mountain Liz. But they are too far away. Most of the days will be spent on travelling. So, it's waste, if I choose to go out there."

Hearing that Uncle James let out huge sigh. Then he said, "You don't have to worry about that. Actually your current progress is in line with other sons and daughters from big families. But their elemental ability is common one. While in your case, you got special element."

Then he added, "Your current level is enough to join the A grade institution of Saw Scale Viper Academy. So, you already passed the initial struggle. Just focus on improving other skill set."

Hearing that I nodded at him and said, "It's fine Uncle. I already began to focus on my skills."

Listening to Zack's words, Mr. James nodded in affirmation.

Then he recalls something, When he and Arthur conversing about Zack. He immediately commented, "Zack, Why don't you try star tower?"

Hearing that I'm stunned, "Here we go again?"

I looked at him and said, "Uncle as I said before, the location of star tower is also faraway. It will definitely waste my time."

I frowned a little, Hearing from Uncle James. I knew Elder Thornton somehow mentioned that too him. Why everyone is mentioning that too me? Is there any something more than that?

The other hand, Mr. James knew Zack's lack of knowledge. He smiled amusingly. Then he decides to shed light on this matter. He looked at Zack and said, "If you are worried about transport facility. Then there is a solution for that. It can reduce your travel time"

Hearing that I'm surprised, but it doesn't mean I'm interested to participate in that tower challenge. So, I listened.

Mr. James, observing Zack's relation he added further, " There is a sub way system available between two mid-zone cities. The star tower is located at west word city. If you reach baron fort city, you can travel to west word city through subway system. Then the time of travel will be reduced to three days."

"Hmmm" I affirmed his explanation by nodding my head.

Looking at Zack's reaction, Mr. James shook his head in disapproval. "You are taking it very lightly." Mr. James said with a stern tone.

Hearing that I immediately abandoned my indifferent attitude and answered, "Uncle, Why everyone is giving too much importance to that star tower. It may be attractive for other elemental warriors. For me it's really tasteless Uncle. There won't be any lightning element related rewards." I explained my worries straightforwardly.

Hearing that Mr. James understood Zack's worries. He said, " I know, you are worrying about lightning element rewards. But there is one more significance to star tower. If you do good performance in star tower, it will add special title and rank in your career profile. It is also add some importance to your admission to the academy."

Seeing Zack is finally getting serious, He continued further, " It may be seems waste time for you now, but in long run, the star tower ranking will play significant role your life."

Listening to Uncle's expansion. My expression turned serious for first time. So, it star tower ranking will play big role in future. I began to consider it seriously. If it really helps me that much. Then I don't have to delay it any longer.

I looked at my Uncle and answered, "Okay, Uncle I will participate in Star tower Challenge."

Hearing that Mr. James smiled finally. He commented, "Hmmm, Then go and prepare for your travel. Elder Thornton already registered your name as participant."

"What?" I blurted out in surprise.

No wonder, they insist on this topic. Elder already paid the entry fees. Realizing that, I sighed in my heart. After ending this topic, we completed our dinner. Later, I went back to my room for preparation.

The other hand, Mr. James contacted Elder Thornton in his room.

As the call connected, "Oh, Mr. James. What did he say?" Elder Thornton inquired in huge expectation.

Hearing that, Mr. James smiled helplessly and answered, " Ahem, Elder. He did confirmed to participate in star tower. But I also told him about the sub way system travel." Mr. James really worried about this topic. He disclose this topic without asking him.

"Huh"

The other hand, Elder Thornton stunned, He already paid huge price for that entry fees. But sub system travel is somewhat exclusive. Its not easy to get that exclusive travel I.D. he began to tap his finger at desk. He can't ask Sir. Lowell McClain for every matter. For something he needs to sort out the solution. He didn't blame Mr. James for this.

Yet, he is really confused. Why that brat is so adamant about not participating in that challenge. It's very attractive power place for every elemental warriors. "Did he worried about the cost of registration fees?" he though to himself. That might be the real issue. Silly brat, having such teacher behind him. Why does he worried about credit points?

Then Elder Thornton suddenly remembers, Mr. James is still on the line.

He said, "Ahem, Mr. James, you don't have to worry about that issue. I'll try to ask for special permission"

Hearing that Mr. James relaxed. "Then, Thanks Elder for your effort." He said with a smile.

After having that little conversation, both of them ended their call.

(Zack's POV)

Three days later,

I left house and headed to the train station. I thought it would take some time. But fortunately, Elder Thornton got me special I.D for that sub way system. I'm really grateful for that. Yet, I couldn't help but wonder. Why is he helping so much? Is it because of my Seed Candidate. It more looks like a personal care.

Especially, I saw some changes after Elite level Assassin. He is been converting with me after that incident. Does he feels any guilt due to that? Or my teacher scolded him for that. I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows in frustration.

A couple of minutes later,

I arrived at the station, there still some time left for my train's arrival. Suddenly, my wrist watch lit up with notification.

"Hmmm" I blurted out in surprise.

It's from Maria Frazier. Why is she calling me now?

I don't know whether to attend the call or not.

Then I decided to attend the call. It may be some emergency.

As I attended the call, An impatient voice reached my ears, "Zack, Are you participating in Star tower Challenge?" Maria Frazier inquired in impatient tone.
