Chapter 116 - Fight For The Resource?

Zack arrived at his house one day later. It's a beautiful sunrise.

I'm relieved that Uncle James' mission is now over. The Black Forest enlightened me about the vastness of our world. Ms. Tracy's Elemental Zone inputs. As well as knowledge about unique level class Monsters. It's something I'm really looking forward to.

Prior to that, I must complete my studies at the Hansen Sword Centre. I sighed when I realized this. I arrived home early this morning. Now, I must return to the academy. Mr. Arthur requested that I return as soon as possible.

If He is anticipating my arrival, He is referring to the Resource List. My eyes glistened with anticipation. I'd gotten my fill of level 2 Monster blood. I have a sense that in a few weeks, I will make another physical strength breakthrough. 

My lightning cultivation became a source of anxiety for me. I was first concerned that physical cultivation would fall behind. Now, it's the opposite. As a result of the recent restriction by the Hansen training center. I'm not even sure if I'm allowed to visit Mountain Liz.

It's something I'm thinking about. It appears that I will require Intel. "I'm not sure if they've heard anything about Max's situation." Perhaps I should inquire of Mr. Arthur while gathering information." I had a thought in my head. 

I had a few discussions with Granny Park after a few minutes. Before, I had left for the academy. She requested that I take a day off. But I'd had enough of it. During my travels yesterday, I did nothing except sleep.

I also told Granny about my Black Forest training. Especially when it comes to the dreadful Ant Queen. when compared to that black tree. To Ant Queen, The Black Tree is a little paler. Once I break through and reach the Peak level in Trainee Apprentice.

I want to fight both of them. My lips tremble a little as I consider that possibility. I'll have to work a little harder for a year. According to my teacher, I shall benefit from the Crimson Sword Hall Exhibition Match.

While pondering it. I arrived at the city station. I boarded the train as usual. I arrived at my training facility a few hours later. Without wasting any time, I stroll towards Mr. Arthur's Cabin.

"Knock…Knock"

I went up to the door and knocked. The door swung open instantly. Mr. Arthur was seated in his seat when I entered the cabin.

With a smile, I said, "Good Morning, Mr. Arthur."

Mr. Arthur was taken aback when he saw Zack. He was wearing a big grin on his face. "You're busy than me, Zack," he said with a snort. One of the treasures on the resource list was obtained by me. But I can't seem to locate you." His message was clear. He is a little let down by him. 

Even the administration has expressed its disgust with Zack. It's another thing not knowing about his strength. With such strict privacy rules in place. They are powerless to stop it. However, he did not reveal his location. It's a little excessive.

Their academy, in particular, is being scrutinized. Because the Max Stewart case wreaked havoc on the city. He pushed these dismal thoughts to the back of his mind and fixed his eyes on Zack.

I was taken aback when I heard that. I'm at a loss for words. Mr. Arthur never said anything to me that made me angry. "Can you tell me what happened?" In my head, I pondered. I'm not sure if Uncle James said anything to him.

I made up my mind quickly. I'm afraid I won't be able to tell him I'm unwell. It's a ridiculous excuse. Warriors, in particular, do not get sick easily. I was able to come up with a reasonable response. For that, I'll have to put in some effort.

His glance catches my attention. "Mr. Arthur, I've been mentally exhausted lately. I was, after all, the last person to spend time with Max Stewart. My senior brothers and sisters are interrogating me. I'm at a loss for words.

It mentally exhausted me. That's why I needed to get out of the house. I went outside for a few days," I murmured, a forlorn expression on my face and a sad tone in my voice.

Hearing Zack's response Mr. Arthur's expression had softened a little. He heard everything from Ms. Adeline Key. She serves as the class's Mentor. She is quite concerned about Zack. Max's pals were indeed obstructing him during training, He admitted with a groan.

"If that's the case, I'm fine with it." Then everything is fine. The Max Stewart case is dead in the water. In addition, our academy is under fire. As a result, it's natural for you to be stressed." With a smile, Mr. Arthur reassured him.

"Don't you want to know about the resource we obtained for you this time?" he asked, quickly changing the subject. This time, his tone was less pleasant. 

"Looks like everything worked out," I said after hearing that in my head. "I truly want to know what the treasure is," I added. But, based on his expression, I had the impression he wouldn't give in that quickly. looks like I need to be prepared for everything.

"Last time, we gave you a Mind fruit treasure and a movement technique," Mr. Arthur said. "But, this time," he added, looking at me. I'm not even going to mention the treasure's name. Unless you can demonstrate your fighting skills in a fight."

I cursed him internally when I heard that. However, it is reasonable for them to inquire. So far, they have been pouring resources in without asking for anything in return. "They want to see how far I've come," I reasoned.

I did, however, hesitate a little. Will I be required to demonstrate my elemental ability? I'm not sure what they're up to. Observing Zack's apprehension. Mr. Arthur was aware of the situation.

"Then I'm ready for the test," I said. Hearing Zack's response Mr. Arthur was ecstatic. "Then go, prepare yourselves," he said. The event will take place in the afternoon. With a smirk, he remarked, "You'll be facing one of your seniors." I was taken aback when I heard that. But I don't let it show on my face.
