From MC's perspective:
Dorm Room,
Beep!
When I was lying down on my bed. I received a message from Ernest Kirk. Seeing that I raised my eyebrows. I knew they must be waiting for me.
This time I should avoid taking the lead when fighting against the monster. I can't expose my body strength.
Then shaking my head, I opened the inbox to read it. But when I read the message, My expression changed drastically.
"The faction head wants to see me," I mumbled under my breath.
So he is back as well. I saw an online post that all faction heads are returning back from their mission.
I stood up and began to get ready as fast as I could. I don't know what kind of person he is. But it's not good to make him angry.
A few minutes later,
After getting ready, I left the room. On the way, I saw people discussing something. And a familiar name reached my ears.
"Carlos Kent," I uttered.
They are talking about my faction head. I wonder, what happened?
Then shaking my head, I stride towards the destination.
10 minutes later,
I arrived in front of the Special Faction Common Room. The lobby floor is already filled with people.
Everyone is staring in my direction. I guess they must have known about Faction Head's presence.
I raised my badge and let the security system scan my I.d. When the green color light was lit up.
Creak~
The door opened automatically.
Seeing that I walked in. When I entered the living room. I was greeted by Ernest and Kirk. But I saw someone sitting on the sofa.
The next moment, my senses were alarmed with a hint of danger. "He is scary," I muttered in my heart. He feels way more stronger than the Flame Faction Head, Franklin Madden.
"So, you are Zack Lockwood?" Carlos asked.
His eyes are scanning me from up and down.
"Hello, faction head. It's nice to see you."
"I'm Zack Lockwood. Lightning elemental warrior,"I said.
Carlos smiled but he observed for a moment.
Ernest and Laverne looked at each other. A trace of worry can be seen in their eyes. Their faction head is unpredictable.
They don't know what he will do?
"Alright, I know your circumstances are different. I heard from the dean herself. So you are free to do whatever you want most of the time."
"But whenever there is a mission you can't deny it," Carlos said with a serious expression on his face.
Hearing that my eyes gleamed with twinkle.
"Sure, faction head. I will accept the mission without any failure," I answered.
I can see that he was dead serious when it came to the mission. Maybe the reputation of each faction lies on mission clearance.
Ernest and Laverne sighed in relief.
"Alright, I'll take my leave right now," After saying that Carlos left the room leaving us alone.
Sigh~
A huge sigh left Laverne's mouth. She was scared for a moment. But fortunately, he didn't make things difficult for Zack.
Ernest also revealed a smile on his face.
Their reaction didn't go unnoticed in my eyes. I sighed inwardly. The faction head looks really tough.
"Okay"
"Can we leave for the monster zone right now?" Laverne asked.
In response, I nodded my head.
...
Days passed in a blink of an eye,
Meanwhile, the Giant Tower's people helped Vik with fake identity. It's not easy to get into Viper City.
Because of their help, Vik is now staying low in Viper City. You can't use a fake identity for a long time.
Otherwise, it's easy to attract the attention of authorities.
The Giant Tower people were keeping an eye on information regarding Zack Lockwood. According to their intel, Zack is continuing his daily routine of training in morning and monster hunt trip in afternoon.
So it's impossible to tell when he will leave the academy. However, the Giant Tower Headmaster decides to be patient with this task.
He doesn't want Vik to surface sooner. The turmoil of the sharp daggers' destruction was not yet over.
Academy people are looking for escapees. Unless the situation returns to normal. The Giant Tower Head has stopped Vik from making any individual decisions.
He doesn't want Vik to seek revenge without proper planning.
...
A week later,
6 A.M, Dorm Room:
Inside the training room, I sat cross-legged to cultivate. It's been a couple of days since I reached the limit in my body strength.
But unfortunately, my essence cultivation hadn't seen any progress. Ever since Dean stopped me from going to the high peak mountain.
She has been busy with some other issues. I couldn't even meet her these days. Then shaking my head, I pushed down these unnecessary thoughts.
Then I brought the Class-5 Monster Core which I got from Ernest.
After keeping the core in my palm, I started to run the blood element method. Right after, the blood rune in my consciousness started to flicker.
Slowly, I began to absorb the monster's core energy. When the energy entered my body. I circulated the energy according to the blood method.
After circulation, the red blood light appears above the bloodstream. The next moment, red light started to convert the energy into mysterious white energies.
The white energies then immediately drilled into my bones. Right now, the bones below my hip are red bones.
The blood element method completely changes the bones making it more sturdier and powerful.
I can even mobilize the energy from this bone whenever it's needed. I named one such technique as a blood fist.
But as the red color starts to spread around my hip section. I feel the illusionary limit is loosening a bit.
Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.
Click!
After a few minutes, the shackles broke into pieces. At the same time, I felt a heavy burden being lifted off my shoulders.
The next moment, an invisible energy is changing my physique. Starting from bones to inner organs. My entire body structure is being improved.
"Initial Stage Super Elite," I said to myself.
I feel my bones have become wider and a lot more thickened. And the red bones give off a more menacing feeling.
A few minutes later,
The monster core crumbles into pieces. But one Class-5 Monster core is not enough. To stabilize the realm, I brought another monster core and started to cultivate.
Two hours later,
I stopped cultivating after stabilizing the realm. When I opened my eyes, I found thick black impurities covering my skin.
The bad smell attacked my nostrils. Seeing that I walked out of the training room. Then I went to take a shower.
10 minutes later,
I changed into a set of fresh clothes. After getting ready, I walked out of the building. I don't know how to react for a moment.
I only got a taste of mixed feelings in my heart.
On one hand, my body strength rose to Super Elite Strength. On the other hand, my essence cultivation is still at Mid-level-Elite.
I sighed inwardly. Then shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts.
Slowly, I reached the dining hall. After entering inside, I walked to the food counter. After receiving the food plate, I sat down on the nearby seat.
This time I got no company. Laverne and Ernest are both busy. Both of them are in retreat.
Looks like Michael's dedication has finally hit them. They missed him greatly. Both of them don't want to be left behind by Michael.
I put the thoughts back off my mind before eating food. I cut the pieces of mana steak neatly before tasting them one by one.
10 minutes later,
I walked out the building and headed to the training place. I want to test my new profound strength.
The Gravity Chamber is the best place to test it. On the way, I met the gazes of everyone.
Nowadays, everyone's gazes are normal. Earlier, people used to see me with envy, hatred and jealousy.
Now it has gone completely. Shortly after, I arrived at the gravity chamber. The gravity training room was as usual busy with warriors.
Fortunately, I saw one available empty chamber. Seeing that I walked in front of the chamber. The security system scanned my I.D
Creak~
The next second, the room opened.
Seeing that, I walked inside. Then I turned to the monitoring system to change the settings. I set it to gradual.
So that the gravitational pressure can rise from low to high level gradually.
Then I walked to the middle of the platform and sat cross-legged on the ground.
I closed my eyes and waited for the gravitational force to work.
Vibration~
Right after, the gravitational pressure descends down. The 1st level pressure was normal. It wasn't able to cause any disturbance.
30 minutes later,
The 2nd level pressure appeared. Apart from minute tickling, I didn't feel anything. So I continued to meditate.
30 minutes later,
The 3rd level gravitational force appeared. Apart from slight pressure, it wasn't able to do anything. I continued to meditate under 3X pressure.
