Chapter 267 19th Floor Mystery?

(From MC Perspective)

As expected, both of them led me to the meeting hall.

"Creak" the metallic door opens

I remember last I came here with Ms. Key. I wonder what she is upto now. When the door opened followed by them I stepped inside.

Elder Thornton took the main seat. Mr. Arthur sat on his right side. Where I took a nearby seat on the left side.

After we sat in our seats, I asked, "Mr.Arthur, What about Ms. Key? Where is she?"

Mr. Arthur smiled and said, "It's an off day for her also. She exhausted herself by doing overwork latey. But don't worry she will come back tomorrow"

I nodded, and said, " What now?" I looked at both of them.

Elder Thornton let out a huge sigh before looking at two of them.

"Zack, You would have probably guessed what am I going to say" Elder Thornton said, then he added, "We should discuss our next plan related to Crimson Hall Exhibition Event"

"Hmmm" I muttered. As expected, it's about Crimson Hall. They failed to kill me this time, I wonder what their move will be next time.

Next time, It would be hard to come across someone like Darius Case. I have perception power, it would be awesome if I get power related to knowing someone's heart.

Mr. Arthur interjected by saying, " Elder, Do they plan to conduct this event? I heard one of their students got killed in Westword City?"

"Cough" "Cough"

Elder Thornton coughed and subconsciously glanced at Zack. Apart from Zack, Only three people know about his killing. Himself, Mr. Jonathan and Zack's teacher.

"Two months ago, Crimson Hall published notice that they will held their event prior to said date. But as you said now, We don't know their current circumstances. Yet I believe their Exhibition Event will be held at any cost." Elder Thornton said his opinion.

He can't reveal some truth to Arthur. But he believes that since their assassination against Zack is failed. They will surely do it next time, and the place probably would be at their next event.

When Zack joined this Hansen campus, He thought with Zack the Hansen campus would gain some reputation. As a seed candidate he had great hopes for Zack but now things have changed completely.

The Hansen Campus is in the spotlight right now. So there is no need to participate in their Exhibition event. But he heard from Zack that his teacher gave him some kind of test. Which related to their event.

Shaking his head, he knows this is something he doesn't have any power over. He can only help Zack in any way possible. So, Elder Thornton looked at Zack and said, " Do you need something for this tournament? We will help you in anyway possible."

Mr. Arthur too echoed his opinion.

Hearing both of them, I smiled and said, "Well, First, I need full access to our essence chamber. Second, I want to fight against Class 3 Monsters just like the blood kill test. Third, I need full resources from the treasure list that I gave to you. So far I have only collected a few of them from you. I believe the rest of them were in your hands."

The Crimson Hall Exhibition event will be my last event before joining the academy. It's just the last hurdle I have to face before getting admitted into the academy.

By showing good performance, I can change my D grade quota to C or B grade quota. I don't know about the A grade quota. I heard it's actually fixed. There is also something to do with my inheritance. So far I have upgraded my mental ability twice. My essence cultivation is one step ahead compared to body cultivation.

I need to find a way to balance these three. I have a feeling that once I consume the resources from the treasure list. There will be significant improvement in my strength.

When Mr. Arthur heard about Zack's wish to fight against the Class 3 Monster. "What? Are you even serious?" He exclaimed in shock.

Elder Thornton smiled hearing that he understood something. Without minding Arthur's shock, He asked, "Zack, Can you explain to me clearly ? What did you fight against on the 19th floor?"

Mr. Arthur wanted to ask Zack, but he stopped midway when he heard Elder's question.

Image of three gigantic monsters flashes before my eyes. I hadn't expected Elder to ask about this right now. I raised my eyebrows in confusion. Even Mr. Jonathan didn't give me any clear answer. He is especially from outside of our region.

But upon seeing Elder's eyes, I sighed and said, "The monster which I had faced on the 19th floor has a humongous body with human-like intelligence. I would say that their intellect is higher than the average human being. It's 100ft tall. From the beginning, it didn't even use its true power. It only used one attack, it launched a water cannon from his mouth. Till the end I felt like I was being played upon. Those monsters didn't even consider me as their opponents. I wonder if this is the true level of the 19th floor. I don't know what the level above six floors is. It's really terrible."

Mr. Arthur gulped his saliva after hearing Zack's explanation. Even himself, he didn't hear about such monsters. "Is this true ?" He asked.

"Sigh" "Did I ever joke about something serious like this?" I said.

Mr. Arthur nodded and looked at Elder Thornton for answer. He believes his words but it's too unreal to imagine.

Elder Thornton ponders, Several decades back during his trainee days he heard the same conversation. But he fails to remember what that matter is about.

Looking at Zack, He thought, "A monster with human-like intelligence uh? It's not strange for monsters to have human-like intelligence. Like us, once the monsters get breakthrough to higher levels they will achieve human-like intelligence. But he felt strange about those floors. Like Zack said, it's not something Special Trainee Warriors can fight against."
