Chapter 625 Part 2: Fighting Against Seamus



From MC's perspective:

Dueling Arena,

Rebecca appeared above the sky. She is looking down at the dueling stage. The duel is going as she expected.

Seamus Dave is a strong warrior. His black flame is extremely dangerous, unlike other normal flames.

At the same time, she also noticed one thing. The lighting element of Zack was not easy. A look of interest flashes in her eyes.

Earlier, she doubted whether Zack could win or not. But now she feels Zack has a chance.

Spectator area,

"The black flame is threatening," Laverne said in a solemn tone.

"How long has it been since someone saw his black flame," Ernest added.

Both of them have been studying in the academy since their early days. So they knew about the black flame.

It's Seamus' mutated flame. Even in the Elite days, he used to win every duel. But when he became Super Elite. He reduced his activity.

Most of the time he was in a retreat. Now seeing the black flame again. They couldn't help but rekindle the old memories in their mind.

Not only them, but the majority of the warriors in the spectator area had similar feelings as well.

They don't realize their conversation was heard by someone. That person is none other than Carlos Kent who is sitting a few rows behind them.

"Black Flame uh?" His mouth curves into arcs. Carlos is here for Zack. Ever since he heard "Young Master" from Jonathan's mouth. His worldview has changed.

He doesn't know the power level of Jonathan. But he thinks that Jonathan belongs to a certain force.

And Zack seems to be an important seed for them. He does not doubt Zack's background.

Zach was born in the outer post. His family has a normal background. So there is no relation between them and the inner post.

But everything changed when Zack showed his lightning ability. Carlos believes that Jonathan must have contacted Zack then.

He underestimated the forces in the inner post. Normally, any warrior with a special element is recommended by the academy to inner post forces.

This was the usual case. In that way, every academy gains favor and resources from the inner post forces.

Carlos Kent's eyes flickered. He had made a mistake before. Now he realizes something. He has ambitions of going to an inner post. It would only happen if he could convince Jonathan.

While he is having his thoughts. The other faction heads also make their judgments.

Dueling stage,

Clang!

Metallic sound continues to reverberate throughout the area.

Both of our blades are colliding with each other. After a few seconds, we retreated backward.

Looking at him, I couldn't help but frown. He doesn't seem to be exhausted.

All of a sudden, a good idea strikes my mind.

The next second, I brought the sword forward to attack.

Swish!

I disappeared from the spot and started charging against him.

Seamus Dave gave a cold snort before dashing forward as well.

When he got closer. I released the lightning technique.

"Lightning Wheel"

A powerful lightning wheel formed in an instant around me. Seamus who brought the sword forward to attack was startled all of a sudden.

But he was too late to evade.

Bang!

When he collided with the lightning wheel. The lightning wheel explodes all of a sudden.

A deafening sound reverberated throughout the area.

Seamus Dave's body was sent back flying. And he crashed onto the dueling stage. When the smoke settles down.

Cheer!

The crowd erupts with a roaring cheer. Seeing that Seamus was hit hard. He decided not to let go of this opportunity.

"Lightning Finger Technique"

A powerful beam released from the finger and shot at Seamus who was trying to get up.

In a flash, the beam reaches Seamus and hits his chest.

Boom!

The lightning beam broke through his defense and caused severe injury. At the same time, his body was pushed toward the edge of the dueling stage.

This all happened within seconds.

Quiet!

The audience has become pin-drop silent. There was no more loud noise.

Pfff!

Seamus Dave coughed up blood. His chest was hit hard. He can feel the cracking sound of the chest bones.

Boom!

Before he could act. Lightning beam after lightning beam hits his body. The lightning power tore through the flesh, exposing the chest bones.

Pfff!

A few seconds later, Seamus Dave looked bloodied. Any more attacks might be life-threatening to Seamus.

Quiet!

The audience was silent. They realized that the duel had reached its end.

Seamus found it hard to regain the clarity. His mind became fuzzy because of the injury.

On the other hand, I saw that Seamus was not in a condition to duel anymore.

So I turned towards the referee. Feeling my gaze, the referee went to Seamus to ask.

Seamus can hear somewhat. But he was extremely unwilling in his heart. Looking at the heavy bleeding, he realized it was not good to continue the duel.

When he accepted defeat. The referee declared Zack as a winner.

Cheer!

The crowd erupted in a roaring cheer. The duel has a surprising result. No one would have expected Zack as a winner before the duel.

Now the winner was right before them.

Soon, Seamus Dave was taken to the infirmary. On the other hand, I walked towards the exit.

The crowd starts to leave one after another.

Ernest and Laverne looked at each other in disbelief.

"That was fast. Don't tell me he was playing earlier," Laverne said with a smile.

"Ha....Ha....Ha...."

"No wonder he was that confident. He got more skilled in lightning techniques," Ernest said with a laugh.

Carlos Kent has the same opinion as well. Zack's lightning techniques are faster and more fierce. Zack didn't give any chance to Seamus for a counterattack.

Swish!

Then he disappeared from the spot. He directly used the flight ability to return.

Ernest and Seamus started to leave.

Meanwhile,

Seamus was admitted to the infirmary. The old healer's expression turned dark when he found the traces of the lightning element.

Days passed in the blink of an eye,

Other big academies are preparing for the year-end conference as well. Their internal competition is also taking place.

Meanwhile,

Jonathan returned to the outer post with few helpers. They are here to reinforce the space barrier. If not solved the weakness in time, the entire outer post may face danger.

When the helpers went in different directions to check the barrier. Jonathan decides to visit Zack Lockwood.

Time flies,

In the Academy, I returned to my dorm room after late training. After entering the room, I quickly went to take a shower.

Several minutes later,

I changed into comfortable clothes and sat on the sofa. Then I began to contemplate. These days the Academy has been quiet. No one is challenging anymore.

Especially after Seamus's defeat. The flame faction has become quiet. They retreat whenever they spot me.

Which also gave me a chance to concentrate on other things. The year-end conference is nearing. I'm going to face warriors from other academies. n-/OveLb1n

When I'm pondering.

Beep!

My communication watch lit up with the notification.

When I saw the message. I stood up from the sofa and walked toward the door to open.

Creak!

The door opened. The next second, I saw Jonathan standing in front of me. It's been several weeks since he left the place.

Looking at him, I greeted him inside.

Jonathan walked into the room before sitting down on the sofa.

Then he started to ask about the recent events. Hearing that I started to tell what happened so far.

15 minutes later,

Jonathan sighed in relief. He thought some might come in place of that prisoner. Fortunately, nothing short of that had happened.

Then he thought of something. He looked at Zack and said, "Master asked me to tell you something?"

Hearing that my expression turned serious.

"What is it?" I asked.

"Since you have become a Super Elite Warrior. You are now qualified to enter the inner post as a seed."

"So are you ready to come with me or not?" Jonathan asked.

Hearing that my eyes flickered. That was fast. Everyone is preparing for the year-end conference. It's too early to leave.

If Dean hears this she would be disappointed for sure.

"I want to participate in the year-end conference. Can I leave after that?" I asked.

Jonathan furrowed his eyebrows. He thought for a moment before nodding his head. He knows that the academy needs resources.

Only after the year-end conference. All 6 big academies can conclude to distribute the resources.

After speaking for a few minutes, he left the dorm room.

The following day,

After getting out of bed, I started to do my morning routine. Jonathan's return has been a wake-up call for me.

I might have to leave the Academy sooner.

Time flies,

After getting ready, I walked out of the dorm room and started heading towards the infirmary room.

A few patients have been admitted with mild injuries. The old healer has been enjoying his leisure time lately.
