Chapter 473 Change In Attitudes (The Giant Tower)

The following day,

The news about the Giant Tower's defeat began to wide spread. In particular, other 4 academies quickly learnt about this matter. They didn't expect Zack Lockwood to defeat Peak Elite Stage Warrior.

The news came out of the blue. Which caused other academies to take action and convey the meeting. In particular the eclipse academy.

Earlier they have arranged several assassins. But now looking at the new information. They plan to hire a Super Elite Warrior as an assassin. Zack's strength startled them. They don't want to see him raise them.

Ella Downs, Sallie Mills, Maria Frazier and many other warriors were shocked as well. Many of the warriors started to do comparisons between their warriors and Zack.

Inside the Giant Tower,

The Giant Tower Head is looking at the people standing in front of him. They are none other than the Giant Tower Team.

After losing the duels and failing to complete the mission, they returned to the academy looking dispirited.

But they didn't expect to get summoned by the Head that quickly. Ron, Vik and Will and other Giant Tower Members are worried.

The red elder in particular has no smile on his face. He is going to face more wrath than the students. Previously, the Head gave him a separate instruction to kill Zack.

But he hadn't expected the appearance of the old hag Rebecca. She clearly didn't give any chance to intervene.

The whole duel was watched by the Head and other elders. So he hoped that he would get away with harsh talks.

The Giant Tower Head raised his head and gazed at everyone from left to right. He released small pressure in displeasure.

Pfff!

The pressure instantly covered them and caused them to bleed heavily. Ron, Vik, Will and others half kneel on the ground.

Everyone's faces turned ugly. They didn't dare to voice out their displeasure. They knew if anyone says something he will suffer a huge clash..

Only the Red Elder has managed to withstood the pressure. But still he broke out in cold sweat in the end.

"I need answers," The Giant Tower Head said in a cold tone. He didn't even hide his disappointment in his face.

Cold shiver went down everyone's spine. The red elder's face turned ugly. He took the initiative to speak.

"Head, they already knew about our intentions. Otherwise, the old hag Rebecca wouldn't have appeared for the final duel," He said.

The Giant tower head suddenly turned toward the red elder. And attacked him with pressure.

Boom!

The red elder got smashed into the nearby wall. The attack was so fast that he couldn't even defend.

Pfff!

The red elder coughed up blood. He held his head down. He didn't dare to speak again. Even though it's an excuse, it's still not enough to justify their failure.

The Giant Tower Head said,"You guys had two days. But you insisted on finishing that kid in the official duel. In the end, you guys even failed to do that."

When he said those words everyone's face turned red with humiliation. In particular, Ron who was quite confident to deal with Zack Lockwood was defeated in the end.

Seeing no one dare to meet his gaze, he said,"Now the Saw Scale Viper Academy knows our intention. It's impossible for that kid to leave any time sooner."

"Next time, it's even more difficult for that kid,'' he muttered to himself.

Then he instructed everyone to leave. When everyone disappeared from his sight. His eyes flickered with murderous glint.

Now that the Saw Scale Viper Academy knows about their intention. It's inevitable that there will be more clashes in future.

He thinks that it's difficult to act alone. In order to remove the threat, he has to join forces with others.

In these past few days, he is also aware of other academy's attitudes. No one wants to fully offend the Saw Scale Viper Academy for a trifling Special Element Warrior.

If somehow that lightning brat manages to get inside the Inner Post, then it will leave a huge threat to their Giant Tower.

Now it's impossible to back track, he decided to collude with another academy. Right now, the White Palace is very weak.

They will not cooperate. Similarly, the Red Moon Tower won't offend the Army Federation behind the Saw Scale Viper Academy.

And the Silver Clouds Academy has a tiff with the Eclipse Academy. So they won't be involved.

Which leaves them and the Eclipse Academy. The Giant Tower Head doesn't know whether the Eclipse Academy is ready to tear off face with the Saw Scale Viper Academy.

Their Giant Tower has hostile relations with the Army Federation. But that's not the case with the Eclipse Academy.

Many of the graduates from the Eclipse Academy have chosen to join the federation every year.

So he is in a dilemma right now. Finally after some contemplation he decided to wait. He wants to see the attitude of the Eclipse Academy.

He knows that they have arranged several assassins secretly. He is going to wait to see their results.

Inside the Saw Scale Viper Academy,

Dean Rebecca conducts a meeting again. Apart from Special Faction Head, others were present here.

Rebecca seated in her main seat. While Vice-dean Franklin seated on the left side of her.

Franklin already guessed the objective of the meeting. The Giant Tower didn't put the academy in their eyes and they went on to challenge Zack Lockwood.

They had issued the official post without consulting the dean. Which was tantamount of insulting them. He was glad that their academy won in the end. And Zack had managed to secure a win.

Otherwise, their academy would have become a laughing stock in front of other academics.

Dean Rebecca raised her head and looked toward everyone.

"You guys should have guessed something," She said.

Then without waiting for anyone to speak. She added further,"Remember the first meeting. Where I said that Zack Lockwood's life is under threat."

"As I had expected the other academies started to make moves already. The Giant Tower people were bold enough to use the exchange meeting to kill Zack. Which shows their determination."

Vice-dean Franklin replied,"Dean, you can't simply lock up the kid in the academy. It will be detrimental for his future growth."

When he said those words. Others also echoed the same opinion.

Franklin was satisfied by the support. He didn't have any grudge against the kid. But he simply doesn't want to see the academy raise a greenhouse.

Dean Rebecca said,"I know. I just want to tighten up the security further. You guys are already aware of spies in our academy."

"The A-Grade Institute is completely safe without spies. Because it's our constant watch. But it can't be said for other grade institutions."

"So arrange someone to weed out the spies. I don't want to see anyone leak the whereabouts of Zack," She added further.

No one objected after hearing the instructions.

Dean Rebecca nodded her head. Then she said,"One more thing I would like to discuss is the annual meet between the 6 academies."

When she said those words everyone's expression turned solemn. The reason is because the annual meet is an important event. Which decides the allocation of the resources.

The allocation of resources is decided based upon the result of combat competition. During each annual meet, the 6 academies sent their warriors to fight in the competition.

In the end, the resources were allocated based on the top 6 rankings. But unlike the last time, this year is going to be difficult.

Major resources in the academy were dried up. Which caused their fortune to plummet. This situation was faced by other 5 academies as well.

Vice-dean Franklin's face darkened. He said,"Dean, I don't think this time will be any different. The other academy will not agree to our request."

Dean Rebecca's eyes gleamed with twinkle. She didn't want the allocation to happen this year. Not all the academy got equal strength.

If the allocation happens this year, then the top 2 academies will get huge benefits. The weak academies only get weakened further. Which will lead to a huge imbalance.

Right now the 6 academies were balancing each other. Even the small imbalance will lead to some conflicts. She doesn't want to see such a scene happen.

After some contemplation, she said,"Alright, let's see what is going to happen in the end. But I doubt other academies will be kind enough to share the burden. I don't want to see 6 academies become one less."

Franklin face was gloomy. He understands the meaning behind the dean's words. She is thinking about the big picture. Even if she is right, it's difficult to convince other academies. Unless they win the competition to become No.1

Then they talked about a few other topics before the meeting came to an end.

When everyone left dean Rebecca still seated. Though Franklin was being practical. But she doesn't want to give up like that. If their academy achieves the 1st position then the balance can be maintained.

Within the next year, the weak academy would become slightly stronger.
