Ancient Tears BloodLine

From MC's perspective:

Jonathan's face turned serious. Which made me think about what could go wrong. No one could beat him and the teacher.

Before I could ask, Jonathan began to speak. After a few minutes, I raised my eyebrows. I had never expected my lightning movement to get noticed by these people.

And now they know that I'm a lightning elemental warrior. It will be a matter of time before the news goes to their organization.

But the worry appeared on my face for a moment before it disappeared completely.

Since both of them are present here, they will take care of everything.

At this time, Jonathan said, "They are planning to capture you after the prize ceremony. So don't worry about it, I'll be hiding in the shadows. If any of them raise their hand, I'll take care of them silently."

Jonathan's strong words assured me. So I nodded my head in response. After some talk, he dropped me back to the old place and disappeared from the spot silently.

The back of the administration office is a blind spot. So the media can't naturally cover everything. Then I slowly appeared before the staff.

My sudden appearance surprised them greatly. Then the event staff quickly led me to the Sky Tower, where the prize was going to be awarded by the academy representatives.

I eagerly looked forward to seeing the representative from the Saw Scale Viper Academy.

Gasp!

At the same time, I saw my image on the big screen and those waiting outside started to chant my name.

Seeing all this, I didn't know how to react. I felt they were purposely shifting attention from the actual tragedy.

The bodies of the seed candidates had yet to be recovered from the monster zone, and I didn't know if the management was planning to retrieve them or not. Similar thoughts came to mind.

The staff then led me to the conference room, where the top participants would be seated. After walking into the room, the staff guided me to the front row.

Then I sat silently in my chair. After speaking a few words to me, the staff quietly left the room.

A few minutes later,

The other seed candidates began to come in. After taking a quick look at me, everyone found an empty chair to sit in. Apart from me, no one was sure of their ranking.

The monster cores have not been collected yet. As the warriors began to arrive, my gaze passed by everyone. As I expected, they were all Trainee Warriors.

I noticed that some of the warriors had missing body parts. Such a scene was becoming more common. Only those who chose to hide were unscathed.


Shaking my head, I returned to my usual position. After a few minutes, the broadcast staff arrived with their equipment.

Soon after, the event staff arrived. It was time to collect the monster cores from the participants and announce the rankings.

As I glanced around, I spotted familiar faces. Three girls were sitting together and talking. Then, my gaze swept over the rest of the people.

"Only 100 of them were seated," I muttered under my breath. I guessed that the people behind the scenes already knew the rankings because the competition was alive.

Therefore, the staff was carefully observing every movement of the warriors.

Suddenly, I felt a cold gaze behind me. Then, I saw a stranger approaching the stand. Judging by the reactions of the staff, I guessed that he was related to the management.

But when the staff introduced him, a look of understanding came over me. The next moment, my eyes glinted coldly. So he was the famous elder of the Crimson Hall.

And the main cause of my difficulties was him. He was the one who ordered the Crimson Hall members to kill me. Also, the previous assassination attempt on me had a lot to do with him.

If the event hadn't been broadcast live, I would have taken action against him right now.

Meanwhile, Casey's hatred towards Zack did not diminish, but he controlled himself. He knew the plan of the super-elite warrior.

Five of the super-elite warriors were planning to kill Zack after the awards ceremony, so Zack only had a few hours to live. And as for the other super-elite warrior,

He didn't think that the representative from Saw Scale Viper Academy could fight against the rest of the super-elite warriors. After gaining some clarity in his thoughts, he laughed to himself.

Then, he proceeded to collect the monster cores from the seed candidates.

On the other hand, the five super elite warriors were watching the event. Seeing Zack seated in the first row, everyone controlled their impulse. From now on, there was no chance for that kid to escape.

"Ha...Ha...Ha...," Harvey Kim burst out laughing before turning his gaze towards Mike Smith.

"Mike, I feel sorry for you. You won't be able to do anything now," he added.

Hearing that, others revealed small smiles on their faces, but Mike Smith remained indifferent to their behavior.

Because he already knew how everything was going to end. In his eyes, these people were just jumping clowns.

Teresa York observed Mike's expression. She felt something was wrong, but she didn't know what it was. Mike Smith came alone without any support,

So how could he stay calm and composed? Then, upon seeing Zack's face on the screen, she calmed her heart. It was just a matter of time before they would present the award to him.

Everything would come to light at that time, there was no need to overthink too much.

Eduard Ortega grinned wildly upon seeing Zack's face on the screen. Thinking about uprooting the future powerhouse, he was glad in his heart.

Only Autumn Holt and June Shelton remained calm compared to the other three. Autumn Holt felt the rising tension, but more than that, her attention was shifted to something else.

She was looking at one particular screen where the image of Maria Frazier could be seen. She had already selected her as a student of the White Palace.

She didn't care about Zack's ending, rather, she hoped that these people wouldn't stop her from recruiting Maria Frazier.

"Other two girls were quite good as well," Her gaze then fell on Sallie Mills and Ella Downs. "These three seed candidates were quite eye-catching in the competition."

"Cough."

Teresa York noticed the expression of Autumn Holt. She was well aware of the condition of the White Palace right now. Was she planning to recruit someone? She raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Then she followed her gaze and finally saw the faces of the three seed candidates on the screen. She quickly connected the dots. She knew that the seed candidate named Maria Frazier was a Water Element Warrior, so it was normal for Autumn to be interested in recruiting her.

...

Meanwhile, First Elder Casey was proceeding to collect the monster core. When my name was announced in the first place, I wasn't surprised.

I got up from my seat and walked up to the desk. Then I started taking out the monster cores one by one.

"Gasp!"

When I placed the monster core of the Class-3 Monster on the table, the seed candidates behind me exclaimed in surprise.

But the reaction of the staff was normal.

After a few minutes, I submitted all of my monster cores and then went back to my seat.

Casey then calculated the points and listed my name in the rankings. I was ranked first with 12,000 points.

Gasp!

The staggering number left people speechless. They knew how difficult it was to kill even one hybrid monster in the monster zone, but I had killed many more.

It was something that others couldn't even imagine accomplishing. The high score even wiped the smile off Casey's face.

Meanwhile, Maria's mouth hung open in surprise, along with Sallie Mills and Ella Downs, who also showed a similar reaction.

"How is that possible?" Ella Downs exclaimed in surprise. She remembered that Zack was not this strong when she first met him at Star Tower.

Even Sallie Mills found it hard to believe. Everyone else had come out of life-threatening situations alive, but this person had made so many kills. It seemed like the majority of the hybrid monsters had been wiped out by him. A wry smile appeared on her face as she thought about it.

Maria Frazier calmed herself down. She remembered the advice Zack had given her back in Red City. She thought Zack was just a Trainee Warrior like her.

But looking at the score, she realized that Zack was hiding his true strength. Was he above the Trainee Warrior level? The thought made her face show disbelief.

She knows what's above Trainee Warrior, but that base is difficult to achieve. Shaking her head, she pushed these unnecessary thoughts behind her.

She feels it's better to ask Zack directly some other time. Right now, it's given that Zack will easily join one of the six academies. Thinking about it, she felt happy in her heart.
