Ancient Tears BloodLine



From MC's perspective:

The following day,

After having breakfast, I head to the main building to meet the dean. 

A few minutes later,

I walked into her cabin and sat directly opposite her. She seems to be working on something. Instead of disturbing her, I waited patiently to finish her work. 

Dean Rebecca noticed Zack's presence. She is currently looking at the places where lightning is found.

On the screen images of two places can be seen. A long canyon with dark clouds in the sky. And the second place seems to be the peak of the mountain. Here in this picture as well the dark clouds can be seen in the sky.

The two places appear to have rainstorms all day long. Thunder and lightning were frequent events occurring there. After reading the further details. Dean Rebecca confirmed the sources.

Though these two places are not blessed land, they can assist Zack in his lightning cultivation. 

"Zack, I found these two places for you." Dean Rebecca said, as she turned the screen slightly so that Zack could see.

My eyes immediately fell on two images on the screen. One of the images is of a deep canyon. This is the first time for me to see places like this. And another is a mountain peak similar to mountain liz.

"What do you think of this place?" Dean Rebecca asked. She thinks Zack will choose a deep canyon. But Zack's words surprised her greatly.

"I decided to go to the mountain," I responded with a smile looking at the image. I feel I have great affinity with mountains. 

Mountain Liz used to be my favorite spot. I hope this place will be as usual as well.

"Are you sure? The deep canyon is closest to the academy. But that mountain is in the territory of the Red Moon Tower," She added further. 

"Red Moon Tower!"

My eyes flickered with a slight glint. I don't know what Sallie and Ella are doing there? 

Dean Rebecca saw through Zack's thoughts. 

She said,"I heard your friends joined the Red Moon Tower."

"We don't have enmity with Red Moon Tower. But at the same time we are not friends either. Besides, the mountain area is less trespassed by people. So you can avoid lot of eyed before getting there."

She shared some useful information. 

In response I nodded my head. But the problem is how to get there. I can't go there with the academy identity. It would expose me directly. Then something happens that I can't think of.

"Dean, how to get there?"

"Should I use direct transport," I asked.

Dean Rebecca let out a small chuckle all of a sudden. She felt amused by Zack's words.

She replied,"Don't you know? Great number of people are after your life."

"I'm not even sure of the Red Moon Tower. I won't be surprised if they join forces with others to eliminate you."

Her words send a cold chill along my spine. I suddenly remembered the face of the rude woman. She was the one who selected those two girls at that time. 

Seeing Zack's mood went down. .

Dean Rebecca said,"About transportation. There is one solution available."

When she said those words. I raised my head to look into her eyes. What solution is she going to talk about?

"Like the teleportation tower. We do have similar teleportation points connecting to the nearest places of other academies."

"The teleportation point was a secret known to few people of our academy. Unless, it's important no one is allowed to use the teleportation point."

When she dropped such a huge secret. My heart set off storms. Don't tell me they all are strategic teleportation points. Unless the academy faces a huge threat. They won't be using it.

But I was surprised by her actions. Why did she reveal such a secret to me? There was no need for that. Traveling there is a bit of hassle. But it's not impossible.

Dean Rebecca again saw through Zack's thoughts. 

"From your flustered face. I can see you were surprised. But we are not the only ones who have secret teleportation points. I bet other academies do as well," She said.

Again, I felt slightly dizzy from such a revelation. 

"Dean, you don't have to tell me the confidential information," I said with a small cough.

"Alright, here are coordinates for the teleportation point. I will send you access later. You can use the teleportation point after going out of the academy,"After saying that she sent two coordinates to Zack's watch.

Beep!

I received the messages the next second. Then after thanking her. I walked out of the room. 

Phew!

Finally, I got a chance to go outside. Now that I got the permission. I have to make steady preparation before venturing outside. Starting from buying emergency items.

The treasure pavilion has many items. Ranging from weapons to healing herbs. 

After gaining some clarity, I decided to look into the treasure pavilion items. 

Beep!

Before I could move. I received another message from someone.

"Who is it this time?" I muttered, as I began to read the message.

A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. The Special Faction members want to see me. It has been some time since I talked with them.

Sigh!

It can't be helped. They all are Super Elite Warriors. I can't join their mission. But it would be stupid to ignore their request. They also know more about the faction head.

I have yet to meet that person. After gaining some clarity in thoughts, I changed my direction and walked toward the Special Faction Area.

A few minutes later,

I reached the lobby. The warriors who were passing by already noticed my presence. 

Gasp!

The commotion broke out all of a sudden. 

"Hey, why is he here?"

"Is he going to the Special Faction Room?"

"What about the challenge post?"

"No metal faction members are here."

The flame faction members immediately recognised Zack's face and they started to call out. But unfortunately there are no warriors from the metal faction found in the lobby.

There are people from other factions as well. But they are small in numbers. 

My mouth twitched, hearing the commotion from these people. Ignoring everyone, I walked upstairs. I'm sure in a few minutes, warriors from the metal faction would arrive here. 

I quickly reached the Special Faction Common Room. After entering the access code, I walked into the hall. Then I entered the living section. Where I met them last time. 

"Zack, you are here?" Ice queen, Laverne Morrow greeted me with an icy cold voice.

"Senior," I responded with a slight nod.

I see Michael Blevins and Ernest Kirk on the sofa.

"Zack, take your seat," Michael said.

Hearing that I sat down in a nearby chair and looked toward them. I don't know their purpose for calling me. 

"Zack, do you know Brandon Hurst?" Ernest asked.

I sighed inwardly. So that was all about. I realized something. Michael already advised me about this. The Special Faction Head doesn't like his students to stand out too much.

This challenge duel will once garner attention from people. Not only from our academy but other academies as well. What to do?

I'm not afraid of offending the faction head. Because the dean was on my side. If my assumption was correct, she was behind the duel arrangement. Nothing can happen without her permission.

I answered,"I'm going to accept the challenge. And the dean had already given me permission."

"Dean?"

Michael raises his eyebrows in surprise. If the dean is behind all of these then nothing can be done. 

Ernest was surprised as well. Three of them were finally able to realize that these duels were not simple. It's not happening due to rivalry. But the higher ups wanted it to happen.

Michael let out a deep sigh. He said,"Since the duel is going to happen. Make sure you win it."

"If you need help, you can ask us," Laverne said with a smile.

Hearing that an idea comes to mind. I do need help. But not for the duel but for my trip to the mountain.

"I need some pills,"I said. 

My words surprised three of them.

"Ha..Ha...Ha.."

"I thought you were going to ask for treasures or some weapons. But you need pills. Which is fine with me," Ernest said with some laughter.

"What kind of pill do you want?" Michael asked.

"Just healing pills were fine," I replied. Right now, I need healing pills for my trip more than anything. Who knows if I got attacked it would come handy. 

Since my essence was dried out. I can only use my body strength. So the healing pills are going to be much more useful.

"Are you preparing for the aftermath of the duel? You remain unscathed after fighting against Tyler Lane. So why do you need the healing pills?" Laverne asked out of curiosity.

She spotted it. A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. Before I could respond. Michael answered,"Okay, we will give you healing pills before the duel."
