Chapter 429 Departure Day
Chapter 429 Departure Day
(From MC's perspective)
Hansen campus,
"I will have to find some treasure that can prolong her life," I said in my heart, looking at Granny Park.
Then I turned my gaze and looked at Elder Thornton before sitting on my seat.
James saw through Zack's thoughts. "Zack, don't worry. I'll take care of Ms. Park," He said in a calm tone.
Hearing that, I smiled in response. Of course, I know Uncle James will help her. But some pills are expensive and hard to find.
Even in Baguva city, such life-extending pills are a rare commodity. Suddenly, the image of Jonathan comes to find.
That's right, why haven't I thought about it before? I'll request Jonathan to provide some pills and help granny park.
After gaining some clarity, I let go of my hanging heart.
"Zack?" Elder Thornton opened his mouth at this time.
Even Granny Park feels some guilt. She hopes that Zack won't think too much about her.
"I'm good," I uttered before recovering myself.
"Good," Seeing Thornton uttered well.
"Now let's get to the topic. Zack, did you get the news?" Thornton asked.
Hearing that I nodded my head.
A complicated glint flashed in Thornton's eyes. But he remembers Zack's current strength. A sense of assurance appeared in his heart.
Thornton asked, "When are you leaving?"
A lot of questions appear in my heart. But I don't want to discuss it in front of Granny Park. She came here to see me. So she doesn't know about the Odyssey Monster Zone.
"I'll leave tomorrow but..." I opened my mouth to say something but I stopped mid-way. Because I remember something valuable.
There is a beautiful river painting hanging on the wall near my bed. I believe I bought that painting from some antique store.
Let's not talk about that now. I'll ask Uncle James to pick it up later.
The next moment, I said, "Elder, The timing of crimson hall is not right. I believe it's good to leave tomorrow."
Elder Thornton and James were not fools. They can see that something is stopping Zack from speaking.
A sudden realization dawned upon them.
"Ms. Park is sick after all. It is not good for the heart to hear something bad," James sighed to himself.
Then he stood up and supported Ms. Park to leave. Both came here to send off Zack. But something can't be discussed openly in front of her.
Granny Park nodded in understanding. Soon both left, leaving Elder Thornton and Zack.
"Phew," I exhaled in relief.
Looking at Elder Thornton, I couldn't help but remember my first meeting and the following events after that.
Especially the one particular event where he fought to save my life from the assassin.
"Elder Thornton, thank you for your teaching. I don't know whether there will be an opportunity to come back again. So I'm saying right now," I said with a smile.
"This," Elder Thornton dumbfounded for a second. More than an Elite Warrior, Zack seems to be a teenager right now. He sighed to himself.
So many things have happened to Hansen since Zack's joining. But ultimately he feels good.
Especially Zack's performance and achievement in the Star Tower will be remembered forever.
When it comes to the current City Lord. He is not afraid of him. Once Zack gets into the Academy, then the circumstances surrounding them will be changed.
"Zack, your strength already surpassed us. I don't worry about anything. I hope you won't forget us when you reach higher levels," Thornton commented as he remembered his prime days.
If not for limited talent, he would have participated in some competitions like Crimson Hall.
Hearing that, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. I know Elder Thornton has offended a lot of elders in the academy to favor me. So the best way to repay him is to make a name for Hansen's wild spread in the competition.
Then we talked about a few other things before I decided to leave.
"Arthur and Ms. Key will be back to work tomorrow. I hope you will meet them before leaving," Thornton said.
I nodded at him before leaving.
Creak
The door opens. Right after leaving Elder Thornton's cabin. I see Uncle James waiting for me outside.
"Uncle," I called out.
James nodded and said, "Alas, I know Ms. Park's sickness is troubling you. But it can't be helped. Her vitality is decaying slowly."
"Zack, I want to talk to you alone," James added.
Hearing that I nodded. I also decided to tell you about the river painting.
Then I led him towards the underground chamber.
On the way, we walked past students and staff. Since we wore normal clothing. It didn't attract much attention.
A few minutes later,
Creak
We arrived in front of the underground room.
After entering inside, I introduced this place to him.
"I know this is the foundation of Hansen. The battle arena's defense can even stop the attack of Class 3 Monster," He said with an appreciative look.
Then we entered the room and started to discuss. Some things can't be discussed in front of Elder Thornton. For example the origin of Jonathan and Teacher.
"Uncle, what about Mr. Jonathan?" I asked.
I know he had made arrangements for the trip. But I don't know what it is exactly.
James wasn't surprised by the question. He replied, "Don't worry, he will come."
My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Sure, Jonathan has been keeping in touch with Uncle James. Which is good.
Then we spent a few more hours talking. Especially he talked about my past. Where he completely revealed everything to me without hiding anything.
The atmosphere turned solemn for a moment. My past seems to be a mystery. Because there is a long way before accepting the inheritance.
Currently, I'm undergoing an inheritance trial. Except for the perceptual ability. I have no other powers from inheritance.
Only after improving the domain physique to an unimaginable level, can my body withstand the power of inheritance.
Despite all that, I have awakened three different elemental powers in my body.
Lightning, Blood, and Healing element. Three of the elements were extreme in a separate category. But I have all three of them.
Which shows that my parents were not simple adventurers. But Uncle James doesn't know much about my family either.
A frown appeared on my face. Things were not simple back then. I have this vague feeling that I will get some answers after becoming strong.
Uncle James left after the private talk.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
The following day,
9 A.M
"Still there is no sign of Jonathan," I mumble under my breath.
Then shaking my head, I walked towards Elder Thornton's cabin.
A few minutes later,
Right after, I entered Elder's cabin. Arthur and Ms. Key also walked into the room.
"Mr. Arthur"
"Ms. Key"
I greeted them with a smile.
"Zack, how have you been?" A surprise glint flashes in his eyes. The next second, he found he couldn't see through Zack.
Zack seems to be unfathomable. He is shocked to the core.
At the same time, Ms. Key was also dumbfounded. She knows Zack has been training in the outside world for some time. It is normal to have improvement.
But she feels some kind of pressure.
"Cough" "Cough"
Looking at their reactions, I coughed twice.
Hearing that both returned to reality and watched Zack in horror. Then Elder Thornton reminded them to sit.
He had a similar reaction sometime before. A wry smile appeared on his face.
Then Arthur started the conversation by talking about Crimson Hall.
I couldn't help but look at Elder Thornton. Looks like Elder Thornton didn't reveal the dangers inside the Odyssey Monster Zone.
Then we spent a few hours in discussion.
Beep!
Before I received a message from Jonathan.
Right after that, I immediately left Hansen. And reached a meeting point a few minutes later.
Swish!
Jonathan appeared in front in a blink of an eye.
Seeing that I let go of my hanging heart.
Jonathan asked, "Can we leave now?"
Hearing that I nodded my head. There is nothing to carry, everything is inside my storage ring.
But I decided to inform others before leaving.
I left Jonathan and hurried towards Hansen. Using my flight ability, I reached the campus quickly.
On the other hand, Jonathan's eyes flickered with a surprised glint. The next second, disbelief appeared on his face. "Elite," He said to himself.
Then he shook his head in denial. No, it must be imagination. Jonathan feels absurd. How can Zack become an Elite warrior in this broken land?
He removed the unnecessary thoughts from his heart.
A few minutes later,
When Zack appeared again. Jonathan stood in disbelief. He can sense the Elite-level aura from Zack.
"How is this possible?" Jonathan uttered in surprise. Unlike the normal Elite aura. The aura on Zack's body is very strong.
At the same time, I revealed a small smile on my face. I see the expected reaction from Jonathan. Earlier, I felt it was better to tell him in person.
