Chapter 515 Huge Mistake?

?

Dean Rebecca has been receiving reports from time to time. Suddenly, her eyes set on a recent one. The place Gorge is on her suspicious list. Quite a few activities are spotted at that place.

But she never expected there was a massive secret hideout near the place. She has now turned her attention to the footage.

When she saw the footage again. She can see the scale of destruction. Someone destroyed the place before going out. 

A gloomy glint flashes in her eyes. On one hand, she is happy that such a secretive place was destroyed. On the other hand, she is worried about the escapees. 

Especially their leader. The Faction Heads are separated and looking for escapees individually. 

But she doesn't think they can find their leader. She began to think of the next course of action.

...

From MC's perspective:

The following day,

I woke up earlier. After completing the morning routines. I didn't cultivate directly. Rather, I logged into the academy's social media site to look for the news.

Last night, it was a mess up. I guess those guys must have informed the Red Moon Tower by now. It would be difficult to enter the high-peak mountain anytime soon.

Thinking about their utility artifact. My expression turned solemn. Shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts.

Because of yesterday's mishap. I almost forgot to inform the dean. But thinking about her current situation. 

I doubt whether she has time to see me.

Then I turned my attention to the site. I saw several trending topics. Most of them are about the faction heads.

None of the faction heads are currently in our academy. All of them are gone for the mission. After scrolling down a few pages, I saw no other new topics. 

Most of the news posts are by academy students. So important information was controlled. Then I decided to meet the dean later. 

After gaining some clarity, I stood up and walked to the training room. 

After entering inside, I walked up to the platform and sat cross-legged.

I brought the Class-4 Monster Core outside and held it in my palm. The next moment, I ran the blood method in my mind. 

Right after, the blood rune in my consciousness started to flicker. Slowly, I began to absorb the monster's core energies.

When the monster core energies entered my body. I guided the energy according to the blood method.

Right after circulation, the blood red light appears above the energy. The energy conversion process begins to take place.

The red light converted the monster's core energies into mysterious white energies. Right after, the mysterious white energies began to drill into my bones.

The process comes with heart-wrenching pain. But I'm enduring it. The red color part of my skeleton began to expand. 

Seeing that I continue to repeat the process.

Time passed,

After a few hours, the monster core in my palm crumbled into pieces. Seeing that I began to feel the changes in my body.

As my power grows, the requirement of the monster core also increases. I don't know how many monster cores my blood method will consume. 

My opponents are Super Elite Warrior and above. I have to step into Super Elite Warrior sooner.

There is also a year-end competition coming up. According to the dean, the real talented warriors will participate in it.

Thinking about the real talented warriors. I don't know when our academy warriors will end their retreat. 

There are a couple of warriors who I have yet to meet. I let out a sigh before pushing down the unnecessary thoughts. 

Then I walked out of the training room to take a shower.

20 minutes later,

I changed to an academy uniform. After getting ready, I walked out of the dorm building. 

The campus atmosphere is serene as usual. When I reached the dining hall. I came across acquaintances surprisingly.

"Zack, what a surprise?" 

"We are heading to the dining hall as well," Laverne said with a smile.

Right next to her, Ernest also showed his white teeth. 

Seeing them, my mouth twitched. These two are purposely waiting here to see me. Maybe they are here for the monster zone again.

"Alright, let's go," I said.

Then three of us walked inside the dining hall.

Our appearance didn't attract much attention. Nowadays, everyone used to see us together.

After receiving our food plate, we sat at the corner table.

Seeing the tender meat, I decided to slice it.

But before I could do that Laverne opened her mouth. 

"Did you guys hear our faction head is out?" Laverne said.

But her words feel like thunder to me.

"What?" I uttered in surprise. Last thing I know the Academy dispatched all the faction heads. But I thought the Special Faction Head was special. Because he was in retreat. 

Laverne and Ernest looked at each other before turning toward me.

"Of course, he is out," Ernest said.

"The academy won't do major operations without our faction head, "He added further.

Looking at his surprised expression of Zack. Laverne was struck with sudden realization. 

"Oh, I see!"

"Zack, you have yet to meet our faction head," Laverne said with a triumphant smile.

Looking at her strange smile, I feel goosebumps all over my body.

Ernest said, "I almost forgot about it." But his scheming eyes tell something else.

I saw that both of their expressions are not right. The last piece of advice I heard from Michael is about Faction Head.

The Faction Head likes to be low-key. He doesn't like his faction members to stand out too much. 

And I can already imagine the atmosphere of our first meeting. Fortunately, all the faction heads are out for the mission.

In the meantime, I can prepare myself. 

Seeing his expression. Both looked at each other and decided to change the topic.

Time passed,

After having breakfast, we walked out.

"What's your plan for today?" Laverne asked.

Hearing that I gave a knowing smile to the duo.

"Let's meet in the afternoon. We will go to a better monster zone," I replied.

Laverne's eyes twinkled. Ernest smiled as well.

Shaking my head, I parted ways with them before heading to the dean's office.

"I hope she won't reprimand me," I said in my heart. 

A few minutes later,

I arrived in front of the office. As usual, I heard a clicking sound. I glanced at the cameras before opening the door to enter inside.

"Zack!"

"You came to meet me this early," Rebecca uttered in surprise. Then she thought Zack must be interested in Sharp Daggers.

I gave a slight nod before taking a seat opposite her. 

Then I decided to tell her about yesterday's incident. But before I could open my mouth. I heard interesting news from her.

"The Sharp Dagger's hideout was destroyed," She said.

A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. I never thought the academy could be so efficient. This must be the power of the SS-Elite Warriors.

Seeing Zack's smile, Rebecca thought he misunderstood something. Then she began to share what had happened.

After a few minutes, my smile disappeared. The leader of the killer organization managed to escape easily. 

I don't know how to react for a moment.

"Well, I had a similar reaction yesterday. But someone went after him. I hope to hear positive news by this evening," Rebecca said with a smile.

Hearing that, I feel a lot more relaxed. 

"Dean, it's good to hear. But I'm here for some other issue," I said.

This time Rebecca was surprised. 

Without minding her expression. I started to talk. 

A few minutes later,

There was deadly silence. I told her everything including their mission.

Rebecca's heart was not calm. Zack is saying the words easily. But she knows it's not that simple to cover the traces.

No one would go to a high-peak mountain to cultivate. If the Red Moon Tower can guess that then it would be a matter of time before they find out the truth. 

Now she worries about the teleportation point. If the teleportation point is exposed, then the Academy name could come out. 

"Zack you made a mistake this time," Rebecca said with distress. 

More than the killer organization. She feels Zack's mishap would bring more damage this time.

At the same time, I furrowed my eyebrows. Her reaction was stronger than I had thought. I had made sure that I was leaving behind no traces. 

But looking at her expression. I realized I'm missing something. What is it?

"Dean, what's worrying you?" I asked.

Rebecca looked into Zack's eyes before uttering, "Teleportation point."

Hearing that, I feel like lightning struck my head.

"Teleportation point," I said in my heart. I knew the teleportation point's existence was a liability. But I don't think they would go to such a length to search the entire forest.

"Dean, I don't think the Red Moon Tower will waste time," I replied.

Dean Rebecca shook her head.

"There is a possibility. You did well by not showing our element. But the teleportation point would give away our location," She added further.

I remained silent. But my mind sprung up in action to find some solution. Then a good idea comes to mind.

"What if the teleportation point is destroyed?" I said in my heart.
