Chapter 588 New Trouble

?

From MC's perspective:

The following day,

 After getting out of the bed. I started doing the morning routine. Later, I entered the training room to cultivate.

I have collected a few Class-5 Monster Cores from yesterday's trip. So I don't have to spend the next few days in the monster zone. 

Don't know why? There is a sense of urgency in my heart. After receiving Carlos's message yesterday. I didn't get any further reply from him.

I'm still not clear what type of danger he had met with. Even Jonathan was not responding to my call.

There is only way I can protect myself by staying low key. After pushing down these thoughts, I held the monster core in my hand.

Then I started to run the blood element method. The next moment, the blood rune in my consciousness started to flicker. 

As the second passed, I started to absorb the energy from the monster core. 

Time went by,

After a few hours, I opened my eyes. Right now, apart from the head, the entire skeleton was dyed red. 

But surprisingly, I didn't feel the barrier. I don't know how much energy is required before the barrier appears.

Then I stood up and left the training room.

20 minutes later,

After getting ready, I left the room and stepped out of the dormitory. Walking, the image of the dean comes to mind.

I wonder whether she will appear today.

Then I started heading towards the Dining Hall. Soon, I reached the place. As usual, someone is waiting for me.

"I know you come today," Ernest said.

Hearing that I nodded at him before we walked into the hall together. 

Then I thought of something and looked at Ernest.

"What about Laverne?"

"What is she doing right now?" I asked.

By that time, we arrived before the food counter.

"She is helping her family. I guess she will be back soon," Ernest replied.

I nodded at him before receiving the food.

Then we found an empty spot to sit down. We started eating. But not long after, a group of people entered. 

Kane walked into the hall with a flame faction warrior. He swept his eyes across at everyone. Finally, his gaze landed on Zack Lockwood who was having breakfast.

On the other hand, I felt someone was walking towards us. When I turned around to see the person. My mouth twitched.

"What is he doing again?" I raised my eyebrows in confusion. I made a condition so that these people won't bother me.

"Zack?"

"Are you surprised by my presence?" 

Kane asked.

Ernest expression darkened. Whenever these guys appear it's not good news. 

I looked into Kane's eyes and asked,"What do you want?"

Kane revealed a triumphant smile on his face before saying,"Zack, you made a condition for the duel. Do you remember?"

A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.

I nodded at him.

Kane clapped his hands before saying,"Well, we found an item. Which might be related to your lightning element."

Clang~

I put the fork down before looking at him with a serious gaze. Even Jonathan has failed to collect the treasure related lightning element.

"Is it a bluff?" I said in my heart.

Ernest almost choked himself. He was aware of Zack's condition. The lightning element is scarce in this region. It's not a suitable place for special herbs to grow.

Kane saw the doubtful look of the duo. Then he recalled what Seamus asked him to do.

"Ahem?"

"If you don't believe it, you can go to the Glass City to inquire," After saying that Kane left with his group without turning back.

"Glass City?" Ernest uttered in a surprised tone.

Hearing that I shifted my gaze towards Ernest.

"What?"

"Do you know about the Glass City?" I asked.

Ernest nodded before saying," It's the city under Red Moon Tower Academy."

"Red Moon Tower!" My eyes flickered. 

I almost forgot that two of my acquaintances are studying in that academy. And there is also Maria Frazier. 

I don't know what's her status in the White Palace.

"Zack, what are you thinking?"

"Are you going to the glass city?" Ernest asked.

"No," I replied subconsciously. The academy is the safest place for me. If I step out of the academy, it won't do any good to me.

Especially Carlos Kent's status is not clear yet.

Then we resumed eating.

Meanwhile,

Kane is happy that Zakc is tempted. He believes Zack will soon leave for the Glass City.

Time went by,

After having breakfast, we both head to the training room. I'm thinking about using lightning technique against puppets.

If I improve, it will be good for me.

2 days later,

While stepping out of the dormitory for breakfast. I couldn't help but Kane Patric. Last 2 days went smoothly without any disturbance.

No one came to bother me. I'm hoping that it will continue the same in the coming days.

After reaching the dining hall, I walked into the hall alone. Ernest is not coming today. Yesterday's training had made him exhausted. 

He might sleep a little bit longer today. After receiving the food, I found a place to sit down. While eating, I noticed hostile gazes on me.

But I ignored that and resumed eating. The internal competition for the Elite Warrior was over. The Flame Faction Warriors wouldn't have expected such a result.

Especially Kane and Seamus. If I'm not wrong, that guy's plan was to lure me to attend the internal competition.

But they don't know that my place has been fixed some time ago. 

10 minutes later,

I walked out of the place. But someone impeded my path all of a sudden. When I raised my head. I saw Kane's face. Not far behind him Seamus is standing there.

Then I ignored him and tried to leave.

"Wait?" Kane shouted.

A gloomy glint flashes in my eyes. They must have come up with another plan to trap me. 

I turned around and faced the group.

"What now?" I asked.

"The Supreme Elder wants to meet you," Kane said.

Hearing that my pupil shrank. My heart set off storms. The person who I wanted to avoid at all cost is wanting to meet me. 

Then I quickly controlled my emotions and said,"I didn't get any summons."

"Are you lying to me?" I looked at him with a stern gaze.

The Flame Faction Warrior is talking about the Supreme Elder. Both of them are not good. Don't tell me the past few days' actions connected to the Supreme Elder.

At the same time, Seamus started walking forward.

"He is speaking the truth. Presumably, you broke the agreement. Despite providing you with information, you didn't participate in the duel," Seamus said while spreading his hands.

A hint of sarcasm can be seen in his tone.

"What cheap tactics?" My eyes turned cold. 

Then without speaking to them I head towards the dean office. While walking, my expression turned serious.

A cold sweat appeared on my forehead. 

"Is he planning to make a move?" I said in my heart. 

On the other hand, Seamus and Kane saw Zack was going to the dean's office. So they didn't have any more trouble. They just came here to inform.

Meanwhile,

The Supreme Elder and Franklin Madden are in discussion.

The old man looked at Franklin before saying," Don't worry, I'll force him to accept the duel. But if your student fails to defeat him, then you will lose the chance to climb up the ladder."

Franklin Madden shuddered. Two days ago, they found an item related to the lightning element at the auction house in Glass City.

But the problem is they can't enter the city without permission. The city comes under the jurisdiction of the Red Moon Tower.

The relationship between the 2 academies is not good either. They thought Zack would be interested in going there.

But contrary to their expectations. Zack didn't leave the Academy at all.

The old man's eyes flickered. He was dissatisfied with Franklin's work. Then both of them waited for Zack to appear. 

On the other hand, I arrived before the dean's cabin. When I got closer.

Creak~

The door opened automatically

Seeing that I walked inside. To my surprise, dean Rebecca was back.

"Zack, what happened?" Rebecca asked.

I sat opposite her and asked,"Dean, the flame faction warriors said that the supreme elder has summoned me."

"I don't know why?" 

Rebecca frowned. The supreme elder didn't contact her. But how could the flame faction warriors know? 

Suddenly, she seems to recall the strange activities of the Supreme Elder. He has been getting closer to the Vice-dean Franklin Madden.

Now someone else contacted Zack. Her expression turned frosty. She doesn't understand the Supreme Elder at all. 

"Zack, wait for a moment. I'll ask him," The dean said before disappearing from the spot.

Seeing a hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. 

10 minutes later,

Rebecca came back. But her expression was not right. 

"Zack, come with me," Dean Rebecca said.

Hearing my eyes flickered. Before I knew it I disappeared from the spot.
