Ancient Tears BloodLine

"So I can't just walk around casually, right?" I muttered something under my breath. We've just arrived at the lift's entrance. So many people are expecting for my arrival from above.

Mr. Arthur nodded as he heard Zack's words and said, "Well, I thought of a good idea, I don't know." "Are you willing to agree?"

"What is it?" my curiosity grew slightly. With solemnity, I said.

"Why don't you stay here for a week instead of going home?" Mr. Arthur suggested. It will be much easier to deal with outside problems."

"What?" I'm astounded. The campus is usually closed at dawn. They don't let anyone stay here any longer than that. Even the management elders leave after a while.

"Zack, this is good," Ms. Adeline Key said. Why don't you stick around and practise? Those people are easily duped." Then she had an idea and added, "If you want, I can keep you company for a week."

Mr. Arthur was taken aback as he listened to her. Even I'm going to be speechless on the inside. I'm asking my mentor to be my nanny right now. I, in particular, have my own secrets to protect. I can't let it get out. As I began to think, my face became solemn.

Mr. Arthur, on the other hand, asked her, "Are you sure? "Miss Key."

Ms. Adeline Key gave a nod.

"I don't doubt your goodwill," Mr. Arthur said with a sigh. However, it will raise a few eyebrows. People are already wary of me if you're involved in Seed Candidate politics. It will be extremely hazardous for you."

Hearing his words, my heart skips a beat. Mr. Arthur is a serious thinker. He even went so far as to calculate. After making a decision, I furrowed my brow. "Mr. Arthur is the right mentor," I said as I turned to face them both. You are not required to participate in this matter. I should probably stay at home. My uncle can look after me."

"Well, I'll ask James to come here," Mr. Arthur said, frowning. He'll be able to take you home by then."

Ms. Adeline Key remained silent at this point. She was well aware of Elder Jensen. As a result, she accepted their decisions.

"Well, then, I'll go back and stay in the Clinic room," I said, smiling.

"Here is the room card; without it, no one can enter." Mr. Arthur presented Zack with a one-of-a-kind identification card.

Then I saw both of them enter the lift and return to the upper building.

Every time there is a life-or-death duel. I'll be confronted with a variety of difficult situations. I'm getting irritated. It is, after all, to be expected. I'm interested in the rewards that the Crimson Hall is offering this time. My teacher even told me it was good for me.

I walk back to the clinic rooms, shaking my head, and decide to wait for my Uncle's arrival.

…

In the campus structure,

Students exclaimed when they saw the announcement. Luke's supporters were dissatisfied. They didn't think it was possible. After witnessing Luke's strength against the May Ford students, they knew in their hearts that Luke is a formidable opponent. However, their belief has now crumbled.

"How did Zack get so strong?" If he's that powerful, why didn't he fight the May Ford students?" One of Luke's supporters burst out in anger.

"He's right, It appears to be impossible. But now he's gone," another supporter laments.

A similar situation occurs in other parts of the building. A group of students is debating the life-or-death duel. Some teachers even began to talk with their coworkers. They, too, thought the outcome was remarkable.

Luke's classmates and female senior sisters, in particular. Luke's sisters were in disbelief, sobbing. They had firsthand knowledge of Luke's strength.

"Sister, Luke's brother has died; what are we going to do now?"

"wu wuu," one of Luke's female sister is sobbing.

"I know, I warned brother not to take any chances and participate in that duel." Another sister agreed and began to wipe away her tears.

Some of the sisters became emotional and began to cry. Tears can help you cope with your grief. And others became enraged, wanting to confront Zack right away.

"Let's go sisters, we can go and ask that big demon (Zack) for answers," one of the short-tempered senior sisters and Luke's classmates suggested.

Hearing this, a group of strong-willed individuals gathered and followed her to the entrance of the underground building.

…

Elder Jensen, on the other hand, shatters the items around him in rage.

"Waste" "Waste" "Even after I gave him the explosive pill." He couldn't possibly kill him. What a jerk! "My resources have been squandered," Elder Jensen grumbled angrily.

He began to yell aimlessly, venting his frustration by smashing items here and there.

the other hand, When Elder Thornton heard the announcement, he burst out laughing, "He...He...He." "I was looking forward to seeing Jensen's reaction. "Good... Good... Good." He muttered something under his breath. He hadn't felt this contented in a long time.

Because of the rules, he is unable to request that Jensen be harmed. But this handwriting is enough to satisfy him.

Elder Thornton seemed to think to himself, "I should give some gift to that brat (Zack) for making me so happy after a long time," he thought.

...

Inside the advanced Class's discussion hall.

Maria Frazier exclaimed with delight. She felt good after seeing the outcome, as if she had won herself. She dashes to the front door to greet Zack.

At the same time, a large number of students began to congregate at the entrance, including Zack's and Luke's supporters, as well as students who came simply to watch the show.

Mr. Arthur and Ms. Key exited the lift at the same time. Mr. Arthur frowns as he notices a lot of eyes on him and asks, "What are you guys doing here?" Return to your classes. Otherwise, there will be repercussions."

Hearing some students' heads bowed in fear. When Luke's supporters heard this, their faces turned green, and they came to confront Zack. But he hasn't shown up.

The same misunderstanding exists among Zack's supporters. Maria arrives at the entrance at the same time. When she notices the crowds gathered at the entrance, she quickens her pace and moves closer to the entrance in a few steps.

She noticed Mr. Arthur and Ms. Key are among those in crowd. However, there is no Zack. She walks closer to them, realising this, and asks, "Mentor, where is Zack?" "What happened to him?

Everyone's ears perked up when they heard that. They, too, are curious about the answer. But they didn't take the risk.

Ms. Adeline Key turned to Mr. Arthur after hearing her students' questions.

Mr. Arthur nodded as he noticed her gaze. He said in a deep voice as he looked out into the crowd. "Zack was victorious in the duel. He is, however, seriously injured. He is currently being treated in a clinic room. So, don't make a scene here. Otherwise, brace yourself for punishment."

Everyone took a deep breath when they heard that.

"No way!" exclaimed one of Zack's supporters.

"He got what he deserved!" Luke's short-tempered sister and classmate snorted when she heard that.

Everyone has a different reaction. However, given Luke's strength and Zack's previous track record. Mr. Arthur's words convinced everyone that he was telling the truth. They didn't look into it any further. And one by one, the crowd began to disperse.

A few minutes later, the crowd dispersed, leaving three people behind.

"I didn't know Luke had so many followers," Ms. Adeline Key sighed.

Mr. Arthur shook his head, dissatisfied with the students' demeanour. Instead of becoming stronger. The majority of them spend their time trying to get into the good graces of powerful people. As a result, he was dissatisfied in his heart.

"What are you doing here?" he asks Maria Frazier. "If you came here for Zack, his life is not in danger. You can return to your chamber and train. You'll be able to see him again once he's recovered from his injuries."

Maria Frazier wants to say something after hearing that, but she holds back. She then nodded to both of them and returned to her class.

Seeing Maria's disappearing back Ms. Adeline Key was depressed. "She is a good kid, and she appears to be Zack's only friend," she said. "How come we can't tell her?"

Mr. Arthur did not agree with her way of thinking, which he immediately refuted by saying, "We decided to put on a show." And we should keep it going until the end. And she is a member of the Frazier family. There's no need to inform her. Some things are better left within the four walls of our campus."

Ms. Key's eyes light up with clarity. "I apologise," she said with a nod. "I didn't think it through."

"Let's go!" says Mr. Arthur, waving his hands.

Both of them parted their ways few minutes later, by going back to their cabin.

...

Inside Mr. Arthur's cabin, He contacted Elder Jensen right away.

A deep voice rang in his ears, "How is he?" Elder Thornton inquired.

Mr.. Arthur, for a moment collected his thoughts, and explained every detail of his plan to him.
