Ancient Tears BloodLine

Chapter 42 - Teacher's Gift

The sensors in the arena picked up signals indicating that the participant is immobile. It sends back signals to the control room. In the control room, Staff looked at the data and then retrieved the unconscious body of Marcus Moore on the platform. Later they send him to the clinic.

The next participants were twins they both faced the same scenario as Marcus. The Class 1 Monster they faced were Two Plant type Monsters. It tangled them with vines.

Even before they start to react. They were yet to awaken their elements and their body is physically weak. So they met with the same result as Marcus.

After the test was over. Ms Adeline Key came to the discussion hall.

Hearing the footsteps. Zack and others opened their eyes. Seeing Ms Adeline Key, He understood the test was over. It's time to go home.

Ms Adeline key said, "Since Three of you successfully passed the test. you guys were promoted to advance class". then she added, "We have also given you two days leave. Don't forget to come back in time for the advance classes".

Hearing that Zack smiled. Finally, there is some rest. I have been attending class without any absence for the past month. It's the best time to buy some techniques for me.

After some conversation, all of them left the facility. As Zack excited the door. One person was watching his back from the administration cabin. He was Mr Arthur Emerson.

Ever since he passed the test. Mr Arthur Emerson believed Zack is the only available option for them. So he decided to talk to Mr James late in the evening.

I booked my special train ticket and boarded the train peacefully. There is no rush of passengers here. I took my seat and closed my eyes. I am thinking about the next two days.

What I am going to do? It's good that Uncle James was promoted to the Administrator Position in the Army office. They rarely send him on a mission. He will be home mostly hereafter.

One thing I understand from today's battle is that I lack techniques and knowledge regarding Class 1 Monsters. I learned few things about plants from Granny Park.

But it's not enough. I am lucky that Black Spider is a commonly known Class monster. If I face different monsters. It's hard to predict the outcome.

Some times later Zack reached his home. After some quick shower. He wore a black polo T-shirt and White Cargo 3/4 pants. He lazily laid back on the nearby sofa and started to surf about Class Monster books and some other stuff on the Alliance Network Web. He desperately needs the knowledge.

After surfing for few minutes. I decided to meditate for an hour. I placed a meditation mat close to my bed. There is a small storage room in my bedroom. If there is a conducive environment for practice. I will clear the storage room and used it as the practice is room. But hardly I can absorb lightning energy here. It is very little.

I am beginning to think that, My cultivation is being stagnant. It is progressing at a snail pace. I sighed at the thought of that. The lighting element is special. Warriors need a specific environment for that.

Like a mountain where rainy storms and lightning strikes were frequent. Maybe I should ask Uncle James. If I could visit such a place. I would have some sense of measure regarding my cultivation.

Meanwhile, In Mr James's room.

Mr James is reading a magazine online. Suddenly his Sci-fi watch received a call. Mr James saw the contact it was from Mr Arthur Emerson. He attended the call and a holographic image of Mr Arthur Emerson appeared.

His face is only visible everything around him was blurred. "James, Congrats on your promotion. Finally, You can avoid going on deadly missions. Unless It is a tricky situation" uttered Mr Arthur Emerson.

Hearing that Mr James knitted his eyebrow and replied, "I don't know? which old fox from the higher-ups told you". He added, "Why did you call me? You won't directly call me before sending a message". Hahahaha laughed Mr Arthur. Mr Arthur asked, "I need your help with something".

"What?" uttered Mr James. "I mean, I don't need your help directly. But I need Zack's help" replied Mr Arthur Emerson seriously. He told the whole story of CRIMSON SWORD HALL and their invitation to Mr James and his plan regarding letting Zack participate in the match.

After hearing the whole situation of Hansen Sword Centre. Mr James thought. I cannot decide this matter. Zack had an official teacher. I better inform Sir Lowell McClain.

With his power and connection, it's very easy to analyse the things about the Crimson hall. "Arthur, Give me some time to think. It is something that involves Zack. So, I cannot give you an answer directly".

Hearing that Mr Arthur Emerson did not get disappointed. He already predicted something like this would happen. He is glad that his friend did not reject him directly. He said, "Take your time and DM me once this is done".

He ended the call. Mr James did not call Zack back to his room. He reported everything in an encrypted message and send it to Sir Lowell McClain and waited for his response. He believed that Sir Lowell will respond immediately. When he will read a message about Zack.

Sometimes later his Sci-fi wat buzzed. Sir Lowell McCain send a response to him. Seeing the message. Mr James got elated. He decrypted the message and he began to read. Sir Lowell quoted, "I know everything about Zack. There is a file on my table. which had a report describing Zack's day to day activities".

"Today he performed well in that Blood kill test. After seeing today's report. I can confirm that he doesn't have any techniques to kill that Class Monster despite that he escaped successfully without any scratch. It shows his talent. To live and cultivate in that barren land. Where there is a trickle of special energies in the environment".

"You did a good job in not giving him any techniques. Warrior's conscious sphere is important. It cannot hold multiple runes. He already formed the rune and the totem from the lightning cultivation technique that I gave him. The next step is an important one convince him to change his Falchion sword".

"There is hardly any high-grade Sword techniques in the market. So, he should not waste his time forming runes in his consciousness. Tomorrow I will send you a different sword and its attack technique. Its sword type lightning attack technique and also there will be a defensive lightning technique in it".

"Prepare him to form attack and defensive rune in his consciousness. Which will give him good base and have good synchronisation effect with cultivation rune in his consciousness".

"Also, I need him to participate in that little Crimson Hall tournament. I already saw the list of rewards. There is something very useful for him in that reward. If he managed to perform well. It may come in handy for him once he entered the Academy".

"It will also is a good test for him. He will learn to know. How to survive the assassination attempts?. How to kill enemies without leaving any pieces of evidence. His test is already started".

The message ended after that. Mr Arthur Emerson finally relaxed finished reading the message. He quickly deleted the message. He thought looks like Sir Lowell McClain already send his men down here. I should not worry about Zack's safety anymore.

But there is a struggle on his face. He thought Sir McClain had already done so much for him. I don't know? What sort of missions Zack will be forced to do. Once he reached that place. He knows clearly, there are no freebies in the world. Zack may have to repay ten times to them for what he is receiving now.

Later at the dining table. While all of them having dinner. I asked, " Uncle James, You never told me about Class 1 Monster being tamed in my Centre". Hearing that Uncle James replied, " It is usually conducted for senior students. Because of certain events. You guys got a chance".

They talked a little bit after dining. Zack asked about Monsters mostly. "Zack, You should come to my training room tomorrow morning". Hearing that Zack nodded and went back to his room for sleep.

Early in the morning after having breakfast. He went to the training room. He thought. I might ask Uncle James about mountains. Today is a free day anyway. He won't deny me.

Zack entered the room. Where Uncle James is already waiting.

He asked him to take his seat. Then he told him. what happened without hold back anything. Hearing that I was shocked. So many things going on behind my back. My unknown teacher again sends me a package.

luckily. I did not form any rune after that. I was hoping to purchase some technique on debit. But I was saved. But thinking about my training centre. I was furious about these liars.. They need a scapegoat.
