Ancient Tears BloodLine



From MC's perspective:

The following day- 9 AM,

After getting ready, I decided to go to the dining hall. Last night, I had a good night's sleep. So I woke up a little bit late today. Before going to the dining hall, I thought about seeing the online post.

I hope people's opinion changed after the last day's duel. I opened my sci-fi watch and started to access the Academy's social media site.

When I opened the page, I saw images of yesterday's duel. Seeing that I scrolled down to see further news. 

[Zack proved his dominance again.]

[Real or Fake: Zack showed his prowess in the duel.]

[Brandon's lack of judgment?]

[is the Rain Faction & the Rock Faction going to stay silent?]

I came across many posts. A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. Unlike the day before yesterday, I see no negative posts this time.

"This is good news," I muttered to myself. I got up from the bed and walked out of the room. 

Today I'm planning on hitting the gravity chamber. I have to push the body's limits further. So that I can absorb the monster cores better. 

After a few minutes, I walked inside the dining hall. The atmosphere inside the hall is different from before. I stopped my walking before looking around the hall. 

As usual I feel a lot of gazes on me. But this time there was some change. I see a lot of awe in people's eyes. I think it's a good start. As long as people are not hostile. It's fine for me.

I remember a similar thing happening back in the Hansen Campus. Before I got the place as a seedling candidate the senior students didn't like me that much.

Then nodding at them I walked to the food counter. I see a middle aged man behind the counter.

"What happened to her?" I asked.

The middle aged man was startled hearing my voice. He raised his head and answered, "She took a sick leave."

"Hmmm," I nodded my head in response before receiving the food plate. 

Then I found a nearby empty seat to sit down on. While munching down the fruit said. I ponder deeply.

For morning practice, I plan on using the gravity room. Then I will go to the monster zone at noon. 

I have a vague feeling that my body strength will hit the barrier soon. If I could collect monster cores, the breakthrough process can be .

Several minutes later,

I walked out of the dining hall and headed straight to the Gravity Training place. Walking, I see people looking at me with respectful gaze.

Sigh~ 

I sighed inwardly. Everywhere you go, only the strong are respected. 

I reached the training spot quickly. The training place was located in the 2nd building. When I walked in, my eyes immediately scanned the available gravity rooms.

Right three gravity rooms were lit up with green signals. So I can use any one of them. I accessed the nearest one to enter.

Creak~ 

The gravity chamber door closed automatically. .

I then walked up to the monitor to change the settings. I set the gravity force to stage 4. 

Rumble~ 

Shortly after, the vibration started. I stand in the middle of the platform. Slowly, the gravity pressure increases from stage 1 to stage 4.

When the gravity pressure hits stage 4. The sweat beads already started to form on my forehead.

As expected, I should train under gravity pressure every day. But the muscle tearing pain is getting higher. 

I see strains on my muscles. If I increase the gravity to stage 5, I will bleed.

Then calming down my emotions. I tried to run the blood method. To see whether there is an effect. 

This is quite a reckless move. Because I don't have the monster core with me right now. Feeling the pressure on my leg, I sat cross-legged to alleviate some.

"Hmmm," My eyes lit up with surprise. The red blood light again appears above flowing blood. Suddenly, I feel some cool down in my nerves.

The muscle tension reduced as well. After feeling such changes, I closed my eyes and continued to endure.

I know training under such extreme pressure will be beneficial to my body. 

Time passed,

I opened my eyes two hours later. I realized I was completely soaked up in sweat. I got up from the ground and walked to the monitor.

I changed the settings back to normal.

Rumble~ 

The gravitational pressure disappeared. And I took a huge breath in relief. I felt a huge weight lifted off from my shoulder.

Creak~ 

I opened the gravity room and walked out. The time is almost noon. Seeing that, I decided to take a shower before going to the monster zone.

While heading back, I came across the metal faction members.

Seeing their gloomy expression. "Ha...Ha...Ha...," I laughed in my heart. 

The metal faction warriors avoided my gaze and walked past me in hurry. 

Shaking my head, I continued walking. Dean wants to win at the year end conference. But looking at these guys, I doubt whether it would happen.

Even the Red Moon Tower warriors are strong compared to these fellows. 

A few minutes later, I walked back to the dorm building and entered my room. 

The bad smell is attacking my nostrils. Hurriedly, I rushed to take a bath. 

Several minutes later,

I changed to fresh clothes. I don't know why I got this strange feeling in my body. I feel a lot more relaxed right now. 

Maybe the effects of gravity training are starting to work right now. 

A small smile appeared on my face. Then pushing down these thoughts, I walked out of the dorm building and headed to the teleportation tower.

This time I am planning to enter the Class-5 Monster Zone. My eyes flickered with a slight glint. The Class-5 Monster Core can provide me with great energy.

After entering the teleportation tower, I stepped up and selected the server.

Right after the blue lights under the platform lit up. 

Swish~ 

The next second, I disappeared from the spot. 

When I opened my eyes. I found myself standing in the barren land. Unlike the dense green forest, I see the vast land in front of me.

Wherever I see, there is only an open field. There is no sign of green patches on the ground. 

When I was observing the ground.

Rumble~ 

The ground starts to vibrate all of a sudden. 

"It came," I muttered. I wasn't surprised by the sound. 

I activated my perception ability. My perception covered the area surrounding me. 

The next second, I spotted a huge crack on the ground. Something coming in my direction.

I took out the black sword and held it in my hand. 

I don't know whether it's a Class-4 or Class-5.

But from the tremor, I have a feeling that it's a Class-5.

Boom~ 

A huge body rose up from the ground.

Seeing that my pupil shrank. 

[Class-5 Black Horned Snake]

A dark brown snake with two black horns appeared before me. After recognizing the snake, my expression becomes dignified.

The reason is because this species of snake moves fast. Especially the Class-5 Monster, I can hardly imagine.

I remained still in the position. It's hard to judge the speed of the Class-5 Monster. 

The Black Horned Snake looked at me. Its snake pupils moved. 

Seeing that I became ready to use the lightning phantom technique. 

Rumble~ 

The snake dashed to the prey at breakneck speed.

At the same time, I got alerted through my perception. 

"Lightning Phantom Technique"

The purple arcs covered my legs. The next second, I retreated back at fast speed avoiding the deadly fangs of the snake.

Dust rose up from the ground. The snake monster movements swept away the surroundings. 

After making a huge gap, a trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. This gap is not enough. The monster can reach me in a blink of an eye.

For a moment, I'm having second thoughts about training here. Unlike the dense forest, this is an empty barren land. I have nowhere to hide.

The Class-5 Snake can reach me in an instant.

By that time, the dust had cleared. The snake monster turned toward me. I raised my sword to defend.

The next second, the snake monster swept its long tail against me. 

Seeing the long tail, I covered the legs with purple essence again. 

Swish!

I moved in the opposite direction in order to find some cover. While moving, I'm pondering how to handle the situation.

Suddenly, a good idea comes to mind.

I can target the snake's eye by using the lightning finger technique. 

Boom~ 

The snake monster's long tail lands a hit on the empty ground. The force caused a crack on the ground. 

The snake monster is not at all rushing to kill the prey.

Meanwhile, I stopped moving and turned towards the snake monster. Through my perception, I can clearly perceive the movement's of the monster. 

I'm waiting for the exact movement to attack. I know the monster will turn towards me. So I raised my hand and pointed the forefinger at the monster.
