Chapter 482 Meeting With Dean

From MC's perspective:

The following day,

After waking up from sleep. I did the morning routine as usual. I know yesterday's duel might have created a bigger impact. Because Tyler Lane was one of the top warriors from the flame faction.

If my assumption was correct, then many more warriors will come. I should be ready to face them at any time.

Fortunately, many of the warriors are in retreat. Which gives me time for further improvement. It is just the lightning cultivation that is dragging me behind.

I did not feel this clueless before when it comes to lightning cultivation. Even back home, I had come across an opportunity in one way or another.

For example, the mountain Liz. I practiced in the mountain liz from time to time. Though the world energy around here is abundant compared to lower tier cities.

But it's a pity it was not useful to me. I don't know why I have this vague feeling that the dean might know some answers.

If there is a good place then I should visit it. As this thought rose in my heart. I made up my mind to visit her later.

Morning 9 A.M,

The dining hall is filled with more people than usual at this time. At first, I didn't understand. But when I reached the counter, I felt a lot of gazes on me.

"Sure they came to see me," I mumbled under my breath. Usually, I come pretty late to this place. Now it's hard to see empty seats around here.

Then ignoring their gazes, I received the food plate and walked to the empty seat to sit down.

"Hmm," I found something strange. Usually, there is female staff working behind the counter. What happened to her today? Is she absent?

Then shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts and began to eat. The meat contains pure energy. It tastes delicious as well.

Back home, I didn't have the luxury to eat this kind of food. But now I'm enjoying it every day.

After a few minutes, I walked out of the dining hall. Surprisingly, none of the flame faction members came to disturb me this time.

My mouth curves into a beautiful arc. These guys were perhaps hit by Tyler's defeat. Until the next warrior ends his/her retreat. They probably won't come to pester me.

While feeling good, I head toward the dean's office. The dean's office is located inside the 1st place. I already got permission through a text message. I just hope she gives me a good solution.

When I walked inside the 1st building. I bumped into my classmates who were walking downstairs.

"Michael," "Laverne," and "Ernest," I said to myself.

Looks like there three were heading to the monster zone again. Then shaking my head, I just turned. But before I could walk away.

"Zack?"

I heard my name. Turning around, I see three of them walking up to me.

"Your duel was great yesterday," Laverne said with a smile.

To that, I responded with a small smile on my face.

Right now there are not many walking down the corridor. So four of us got some privacy.

Michael said, "I'm surprised by your improvement these days. It won't be long before you step into the Super Elite category."

Hearing genuine words from someone powerful in my faction. I couldn't help but appreciate him.

But his next words poured cold water on me.

"Next time don't agree to duel challenges that easily," Michael added further.

Hearing that my eyes flickered with a slight glint. What happened to his attitude? He looked dissatisfied with the decision.

Ernest, who was standing quietly, caught the facial reaction of Zack. He commented, "Zack, our faction head was in retreat. Usually, the duel challenges won't take place without the knowledge of the faction head."

"And our faction head doesn't like to stand out too much. Your action would piss him off if he gets to know about it," Ernest added.

The next moment, a look of understanding dawned upon me.

No wonder, Michael seems to be displeased. Then I replied, "Don't worry, I had a good talk with the dean before the duel. It is just a friendly spar. If I don't do it then they will continue to pester me for sure."

Laverne and Ernest looked into each other. Michael's eyes flash with a slight glint. Three of them didn't know about the dean's involvement.

They thought Zack was acting on his own. Now that the misunderstanding was clear. Michael eases down his eyebrows.

"Alright, we are going to the monster zone. Do you want to come?" Michael asked.

Laverne added with a chuckle, "Your strength is catching up with us slowly. It won't be a problem for you to take down Class-5 Monster."

Hearing that, I fell into contemplation. To be honest, I want to fight alone to hone my skills. Some things can't be shown in front of their eyes.

"Maybe next time guys. Right now, I have some other work to do," I said.

Michele smiled and said, "Okay Zack, you can take your time. But we are getting late right now."

After saying that three of them bid goodbye before walking out.

Meanwhile, I head to the dean's cabin.

Outside,

"Michael, what happened?"

"Are you dissatisfied by his answer?" Laverne asked with concern.

The trio is walking in the direction of the teleportation tower.

Michale glanced around the surroundings before saying, "No, I just hope for him to become Super Elite Warrior a little quicker."

The answer stunned Laverne and Ernest.

Michael stopped walking and turned around to see their surprised expression.

Michael reveals an amusing simple before saying, "Looks like your family didn't tell you about the annual summit."

"Annual summit?" Ernest blurted out in surprise.

"That event happens every year. What's so good about this?" Earnest added.

Michael shook his head and replied,' I don't know what's exactly going on behind the scenes. But my family didn't want me to participate in this year's annual summit."

Gasp!

Laverne gasped in surprise. She asked, "What is going on? And what does it have to do with Zack?"

Ernest realized something quickly. But he waited for Michale to answer.

Michael turned around and resumed walking. Seeing that two of them followed as well.

"You guys know that the Academy will send top warriors to the competition. So far Zack has been invisible in the Elite Level Category. I guess the academy might allow Zack to participate this time," Michael said.

Ernest sucked a cold breath of air. Now he realized the seriousness of the matter. So Zack standing out makes things worse than good.

Laverne said with a sigh, "Hope our head ends his retreat soon."

Meanwhile,

I reached the office and quickly walked toward the dean's cabin.

Creak

The door opened automatically. Seeing that I slowly walked inside.

Dean Rebecca with her glasses asked me to take a seat.

"Zack, what happened?"

"Is there any problem?" Dean Rebecca asked with a concerned filled tone.

She was surprised by Zack's request this morning. She expected him to take some rest after yesterday's duel. But seeing Zack right now, she feels something going on.

"Sigh"

I let out a small sigh before starting to explain my worries.

A few minutes later,

The atmosphere quieted down all of a sudden. I told her about my cultivation problems. Let's see whether she has any solution or not.

Dean Rebecca furrowed her eyebrows. She wasn't surprised by Zack's worries. When Zack joined the academy. She thought about the same problem as well.

Unfortunately, the Academy doesn't have a blessed place related to a lightning element. But they have one wind-element blessed place where sometimes the weather changes. Resulting in heavy thunder and lightning.

She thought about sending Zack to that place a few months later. But right now that place is not suitable for lightning cultivation.

Seeing Zack's face, she fell into deep contemplation. Their academy doesn't have a blessed place.

But what about other academies? As per her current knowledge, she didn't know whether other academics have a lightning-related place or not.

After a few minutes, she looked toward Zack and answered, "You know about our academy's situation. We don't have a lightning-blessed place. But I will look into other academies' secret places."

When she said those words. A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. At least she took initiative to look into other academies.

Then I thanked her before trying to get up from the seat.

"Zack, wait for a second. I need to tell you something," Dean Rebecca said.

I raised my eyebrows in surprise before sitting down.

Dean Rebecca made up her mind to talk about the annual meeting. Zack will play an important role in the annual meet competition. She feels it's the right time to let him know about the competition.

Then she slowly begins to explain.

20 minutes later,

"So, what do you think? Are you going to participate or not?" Dean Rebecca asked.

My mouth twitched. Competition again? I thought after Crimson Hall's competition. There would be a period of some rest. But the annual meeting would be more difficult.
