Chapter 222 - Part Two: Crimson Hall's Meeting

Inside the meeting room of Crimson Hall.

While everyone is dissatisfied with the Headmaster of Crimson Hall. But from time to time their gaze is set on the ranking. The Leaderboard Ranking is going through some changes. Except for Zack, Rest of the people from the first batch failed to clear the floor one by one. Other than Zack, the warrior from the first batch succeeds in getting to the 9th floor. But unfortunately he failed to clear that level and left the tower in dejection.

Which also gives chances to other warriors from the second batch to enter the tower after them. Soon, the turn for the third batch also comes. Although from time to time everyone stares at the leaderboard ranking, they don't forget their own purpose.  Like Zack, they too have ambition to leap over the gate to become a dragon. Once you set a good record, you will get famous. And the academy will offer scholarships for you, you don't have to spend a single penny for your career.

With ambition everyone got ready for their turns, for a moment they forgot about Zack. They don't want their mood to get spoiled by unattainable goals. Soon, Zack cleared the 12th floor. He also became the only person left out from the first batch. And the people from the second batch everyone is going through the star tower challenge.

At this time under the order of Star tower officials, the warriors from the third batch also arrive in front of the star tower. The third batch also included the Crimson Hall's team. Crimson Hall's team expression appears to be solemn. Ella Downs's mouth twitched seeing the leader board ranking. "This guy hopes he survives after leaving the city." She thought to herself. Among them only she and Sallie belong to the third batch. Rest of them just accompanied them.

On the other hand, Robb brows furrowed a little seeing the ranking, "I want to see how hard the challenge is. If he can do it easily. We warriors from Crimson Hall are not pushovers either." He said to himself. But he belonged to the eighth batch. He just accompanied his friends.

Darius on the other hand takes a side glance at the leaderboard ranking. Unlike others he felt excited to compete. He was from the second batch but he was the last of them.

Only Austin, Bradley and Sallie appeared to be calm on the outside. But their minds raced with different thoughts. The Appearances of Crimson Hall team at the Star Tower also broadcasted live. Which is also seen by the Elders from the Crimson Hall.

Inside the meeting Hall,

When the Crimson Hall Team appears on the screen. All the murmurs were quiet down, people present here set their gazes on the screen. For a while, no one whispered the name of Zack. The only reason they gathered here to witness the performance of their warriors.

Upon seeing the reactions of elders, the headmaster of Crimson Hall sighed in relief. "Goodness, I really felt knife over my head." He said to himself. Now everyone is focused on the Crimson Hall Team. He thought the Elders won't pick up the topic. When the image of Zack flashes over his eyes, he feels anger and regret.

At this time, the second elder said, "Whom do you think is going to do well?"

His question sparked the interest for conversation. Hearing his question one of the elders answered straightforwardly, but he didn't point out one particular name. He answered, "I believe people with bloodline can do better compared to others."

Hearing that atmosphere got solemn for a moment. One of the Elder snorted by saying, "For that you need to have pure bloodline." He knew the one who said earlier was a bloodline warrior. He really hates the guts of those people who think they are superior to others since they have bloodline.

At this time, the first elder, higher in authority among others commented, "Can you say something good? Those kids are from Crimson Hall. It doesn't matter if they have bloodline or not. " Hearing the first elder's reprimand, the other two quiet down for a moment.

At this time, seeing those two elders behaved. He didn't continue the topic, instead he looked at the headmaster of the crimson hall. Perceiving the gaze, the Crimson Hall HeadMaster shuddered for a moment. "First Elder?" He was really afraid of the first elder. First Elder is at Peak Elite, He can kill him with ease.

On the other hand, First Elder, "What do you think about them?"

Hearing that the HeadMaster straightened his back.  He answered solemnly, "First Elder, These six of them were good. Right now their cultivation base is at Initial – Special Trainee. All of them can clear the first ten floors in no time."

Hearing that the First Elder once again takes a look at him nodded. Even the rest of the Elders who had contempt for him now were replaced with appreciation. They too know that those kids with Special Trainee power won't face much of a problem. Right now, they are already looking forward to their performance.

When the rest of the elders are optimistic about the challenge, First Elder has different calculations running through his mind. His gaze is set on the First Rank of the Leaderboard Ranking. He too knew that level of Zack. Now, the kids from the Crimson Hall also had the same cultivation. He really wants to see his record broken. If they do it, then the reputation of Crimson Hall will soar across the region.

Then again he feels a little bit aggrieved comparing their students with unknown kids.  He feels really unsettled. But looking at the information of the kid.  He learnt about the Hansen Campus. A hint of surprise flashes in his eyes. Then he looked at the head master and asked, " Do you know about the Hansen Campus?"

Hearing the First Elder 's words, the head master replied slowly, " First Elder,  It's just a little academy in our region. This time they have applied for an Exhibition Event. And that kid, Zack, is the Seed Candidate representing them."

For the first time since the beginning of this event, the first elders have heard some good news. "If that kid is really going to be a participant in our event then we can do something for him." He sneered inside.

On the other hand, Upon seeing the first elder's reaction. He knew Elder was going to do it. If that kid is left out, it's only going to damage the reputation of Crimson Hall. And no one around here is going to let that happen.  Once the kid leaves the city, then it will be a nightmare for him.

...

At the same time,  Inside the Hansen Campus meeting room. Elder Thornton, Mr. Arthur, Ms. Adeline key were present inside. Elder Thornton invited them to see the Star Tower challenge event.

When he was in his cabin, he thought it would be difficult for Zack to reach the 10th floor. But later he cleared this level in no time. Then he immediately invited the duo to the meeting room to see the challenge. Right now, Zack cleared the 12th floor and reached the next floor.

Seeing that Elder Thornton commented, "This kid is something."

On the other hand, Ms. Adeline Key smiled. But Mr. Arthur was nervous. His mind is running with different thoughts. He really wants to ask Elder if there is something that he didn't know about. But held back those thoughts.

But this was clearly noticed by Elder Thornton. His expression frowned for a moment and  asked, "Arthur, What is it?"

Hearing that Mr. Arthur smiled and said, "Elder,  I don't know about you but I 'm really worried."

Upon hearing that the atmosphere turned solemn. Elder Thornton knew that Mr. Arthur still had some scars from that incident. That's why he is worried. He really wants to talk about Zack's Master in his heart. But he won't do that. Instead he said, " Arthur, You don't have to worry about it. I already recommended Zack 's name to Federation. Upon seeing Zack's performance in Star Tower. I believe that they will do everything to protect him."

Hearing Elder's words Mr. Arthur signed in relief. Finally his spirit lifted up. "Elder, When did that happen?" He inquired in a surprise tone. If Zack really got under shades of a big umbrella. Then his future will be bright. Then we don't have to worry about Crimson Hall Methods.

Ms. Adeline Key was also surprised. Her slight worried eyebrow also eased.

Seeing their happy reaction, Elder Thornton smiled and said, "Why do you think? I asked him to participate in this event?"

Hearing his words, Mr. Arthur and Ms. Adeline key understood immediately. They were not kids, at first they too had guessed it. But upon getting confirmation from Elder's mouth. They really feel relaxed now. "He already thought it through." Mr. Arthur said to himself.

At this time, Elder Thornton commented, "I believe you have already guessed it. After that accident, it's really difficult for us to cover Zack. We can't do it forever. There are still several months left for him to graduate from here."

Then he added further, "So, in order to protect him. I already informed the federation officials. But they won't show any interest to random kids. So, that's why in order to attract attention. I asked Zack to participate."

Ms. Adeline Key, "Elder, Indeed this is really a good method." She knew Elder Thornton was a veteran from the federation.

Finally, Mr.. Arthur let go of his worry and smiled hearing the Elder's explanation.
