Ancient Tears BloodLine

From MC's perspective:

Goodwill City,

The following day,

Everyone returned to the block again. There are half an hour left before the start of the duel.

Other Academy people are coming in one by one. When Viper Academy came to their place. They sat quietly without making any noise.

There is not much conversation happening among the friends themselves.

Ernest and Laverne behaved properly. Especially Laverne decided not to open her mouth after Dean Rebecca's reprimand.

I'm observing everyone's expression. Especially I saw how Seamus Dave and Vina Potkins became quiet as well.

After coming here, we didn't have much interaction. But I can tell that they are being low-key as well.

Seeing that I sighed inwardly.

Shortly after,

People from the White Palace Academy walked in. Knowingly or unknowingly, Dean Linda looked towards the Viper Academy.

Last night, she had a long conversation with the Supreme Elder Marlene regarding the Viper Academy.

But still, they were not able to conclude anything. Supreme Elder Marlene's eyes flashed before returning to normal.

Among them, Maria Frazier looked towards Zack Lockwood. She has been expecting to fight against Zack. The last time they fought each other was during the academy days.

She wants to know the difference between their strength right now.

Then the Red Moon Tower Academy people came. Like the White Palace, they were also checking out the Viper Academy people to see through them.

Dean Lily Smith and Teresa York guided their students back to their place. Among them, Ella Downs and Sallie Mills are present as well.

A few minutes later,

The remaining academies came in one after another.

20 minutes later,

All the 6 academies were present inside the block. The audience on the stand were seated in their place as well.

Last-day duels have left a deep impression in people's minds. So everyone is looking forward to today's duel.

The organizers came shortly after,

They announced the match-up right away.

[Zack Lockwood vs Collins JL]

When the match-up was announced.

Uproar!

The spectators on the stand let out a thunderous uproar. Because the match-up was between the Viper Academy and the Eclipse Academy.

If it was someone else, they wouldn't be surprised. But the name Zack Lockwood caused the commotion.

The famous special elemental warrior who had offended the Hunter League previously. Now he is alive and kicking.

It made a lot of people pay attention. Those who came to watch the duel from the local federation branches are rather proud.

It's not a secret that the Federation was behind the Viper Academy. And Zack Lockwood comes from a family of federation officials.

So they are looking forward to the duel.

Inside the block,

Everyone's gaze instantly fell on me. Including the people from my academy side.

"Zack?" Ernest said while looking at me with concern. Laverne was worried as well.

Seamus Dave and Vina Potkins also looked at me.

Then I saw Dean Rebecca looking at me with hopeful eyes. She might be expecting me to open the winning account.

Under the gaze of everyone, I stood up and started walking out. I spotted Maria, Sallie Mills, and Ella Downs.

Collins, on the other hand, walked out as well.

Dean Edgar said nothing. His students know not to cross the bottom line against the Viper Academy.

Outside,

Jonathan revealed a smile on his face. He was getting bored because of worthless duels in this competition. Now he is going to see something interesting.

"Let's see how much he has improved," Jonathan said in his heart.

The information will be useful when he makes a briefing to Master Lowell later. The information is going to be useful for the Master to come up with the necessary training plans for Zack Lockwood.

Inside the block,

We left the place and started walking to the entrance together.

Rebecca's eyes flash with a glint. To be honest, she doesn't know the combat prowess of Zack Lockwood.

She heard accounts from Zack's guardians back in the academy. But some of that information seemed to be exaggerated.

Even during any challenge against other faction members. Zack has never shown his true strength.

A hint of intrigue appeared in her eyes. She knows that the person behind Zack is still here and watching everything.

If not for that person, the Silver Clouds would have attacked them already. She wants to know what made the person recruit Zack Lockwood.

Not only her, but others are paying attention to Zack for different reasons.

On the Red Moon Tower side. Teresa York's eyes flickered. She has failed to see through Zack during the student exchange meeting.

This allows her to find out the information as well.

Ella Downs and Sallie Mills looked into each other.

"What do you think?" Ella Downs asked.

Sallie Mills replied, "He must be strong."

Both of them are speaking in a low voice.

But still, their voice reached their teammates.

They snorted after hearing that. The student exchange meeting between the 2 academies was disappointing.

Some of them wanted to get back their lost face. It's just that Dean Lily didn't say a word so far.

Only Teresa knows the reason behind this. Zack's element is a lightning element. It's a special element. It was not easy for someone with a lightning element to become a Super Elite Warrior in their region.

This means Zack is naturally talented and stronger than others. It's just people are waiting to see what would happen if his essence hits the rock bottom.

Unlike others, he can't recover lightning essence here. When it happens he will be defeated.

Back in the Viper Academy,

The place has become noisy because of the first match-up. Yesterday not many had set up the screen to watch the duel.

That craze was only seen in other grade institutions. This time some people have set up a big screen.

Looking at 2 people walking to the platform. Everyone cheered loudly.

Carlos Kent has set up his cabin. It's just he is having the same concern as well. He knows apart from the twin mountains there was no other place where lightning energy could be found.
