Ancient Tears BloodLine

Chapter 198 - Part Two: Visit From Federation



This combat chamber is mostly used by Last year students. Since no one is here, I decided to train for a while.

Right now after completing half an hour training, I increased the speed settings in the monitor. Which in turn changed the speed attribute of combat puppet/dummy in front of me. I sighed, Realizing that there is no other advanced training chamber other than this. So, I intend to utilize the time in my hand, before the management decides to lift the suspension.

There is a huge circular platform, both Zack and combat puppet stood opposite to each other. When timer turned on.

The combat puppet moved, the combat puppet\'s attribute status is equal to Initial Special Trainee, the only difference is it\'s speed is increased by Zack.

The combat puppet raised it\'s claw towards Zack. In a blink of eye, it appears before Zack

.

The other hand, Zack didn\'t use his perceptual ability. As he notices, movement of combat puppet. His senses were tightened. The combat puppet\'s current movement ability is beyond his own ability. He instinctively gripped his black sword to defend against it\'s claws.

"Clang"

The combat puppet\'s sudden burst of power, caused him to move his feet backwards. In order to avoid staggering he decided to roll backwards.

But unfortunately, Zack is still couldn\'t able to fight against its speed.

As the combat puppet\'s claw clashed against his black blade. The Combat puppet\'s artificial system took the next course of action. It immediately send signals to combat puppet.

The combat puppet then used its metallic leg to kick in his abdomen.

This movement was sudden, Zack couldn\'t able to properly hold his sword to defend against this attack. Finally, the battle puppet\'s leg attack reaches his abdomen.

"Bang"

As a result, Zack flew backwards outside of the battle platform and fell on the ground.

"Damn! This pain." I blurted out few words, as I felt agonizing pain in my abdomen. Thankfully, I didn\'t raise its power level foolishly.

Otherwise, consequence would be really serious. I need to get familarize with battle puppet\'s current speed.

The only drawback of combat puppet is, it doesn\'t have elemental energy. It need few advanced technology to install in it. Right now, I don\'t want to use any elemental energy, it need breakthrough. So, I decided to use my body strength.

Since, Zack fell outside of the battle platform. The match was stopped automatically, the combat puppet stopped its movements. It\'s part of safety mechanism. If participant want to quit the match. He can step outside of the platform voluntarily.

Right now, Zack adjusted his breath. He plans to continue to it, after recovering his peak strength.

The other hand, heated discussion is going on at the top floor during meeting.

Sweat beads began to ooze from Elder\'s forehead.

No one is smiling, including Elder Thornton. Elder Jensen didn\'t get any chance to say anything. Elder Alicia and Elder Smith maintained their silence. Only Elder Thornton answered some questions from Adrian Curry, time to time.

"There is no supportive document to support this account report." Adrian Curry placed a file on his desk. He looked at Elder Thornton for answer.

The other hand, Elder Thornton knitted his eyebrow in frustration. He sighed inside his heart. He thought meeting would go smoothly. But not, Even though he is chairman. He turn blind eye to some of the events. He knew its one of the corrupt work of Elders. He side glanced at them. Yet, All of them maintained innocent look on their faces.

All of their subtle actions were noticed by Adrian Curry. He smiled in his heart. "It\'s time to start the main course." He smirked inside his heart.

Adrian Curry asked, "Does any of you have connection with Crimson Hall?"

His question, rang like thunder in Elder\'s ears.

All of their expression changed drastically, especially Elder Morris. He is slightly obese. He maintained his presence so far unnoticed.

When he heard the question, His heart skips a beat for a second. As far he recalls, he did some resources exchange with people from Crimson Hall. But that was long time ago.

That too those people were lower level staffs. He didn\'t even heard of upper echelons staff.

So, he don\'t know how to answer it for a second.

The other hand, Elder Thornton\'s expression turned grave. He had few interactions some time ago. But that was related to some spy, that doesn\'t concern Hansen Campus anyway.

He too remain clueless about this question.

Then Elder Thornton made up his mind. He observed facial reaction of Adrian Curry. From beginning to end he maintained same facial expression. Elder Thornton couldn\'t judge anything.

So, He answered tactfully, "As for Crimson Hall is concerned, We don\'t have any connections with them."

Hearing that remaining Elders nodded their head.

But, Adrian Curry felt disapproval inside his heart. According to his own intel, he knew there are few bad apples among the Elders.

Yet its not the time to remove them.

Everything would be reorganized after completion of Crimson Hall Exhibition event. So, he didn\'t say anything further regarding this question.

Any way, He is here for some other matter. He changed the topic. He said, "The restoration cost would be funded by the Army Federation." He said to Elder Thornton.

Hearing that a joy flashes in Elder Thornton\'s eyes. Huge mountain lifted off from his shoulder. He felt ease when he initially learnt from Sir. Lowell McClain. But now hearing the confirmation from his mouth. He let go of his worry.

Time went on, Some hours later. Meeting came to an end. Adrian Curry decided to roam around the city for a while. He told Elders to take care Dean Curry for a while. All of them, They took a deep breath in relief in their heart.

After stepping out of the building, Adrian Curry went to nearby hotel to disguise himself. He came here on instructions, To complete his mission, he needs to kill Elite Level Assassin. The same assassin who caused damaged to Hansen building. He received intel, that he still remain in darkness inside this city.

At first, he was confused. The Hansen Campus is just one of the many institutions, where their federation invest their funds. But looking at this Hansen campus its still same as per report.

To think this tiny institution received attention from federation. He was truly surprised, Normally its usual for training Centre\'s to get targeted by opponents. He doesn\'t know what the federation officials doing behind their scenes. He let out a huge sigh, He don\'t know what to say, All he cared about rewards in this mission. So, He made up his mind to complete this mission within night.

The other hand, Dean Curry surrounded by Elders. They began their flattering one by one. Elder Thornton felt headache. At this time, Elder Jensen\'s eyes shone brightly. He thought this is good opportunity for him to improve his favorability.

Elder Jensen immediately said, "Young Master, I\'ll show you around the building" He said with a flattering smile.

Hearing that rest of the Elders had black lines on their forehead. Elder Thornton felt trouble.

Dean Curry, Hearing that he turned towards Elder Jensen and he gently nodded. After getting his confirmation, Elder Jensen let out small laughter and began to accompany him.

Rest of the Elders dispersed one by one. Elder Smith finally reveals a smile after that tough meeting. Earlier, He worried about Elder Jensen that he won\'t get any chance. But, now, he is making his move. Seeing that he let go of his worry and dispersed from this place.

Finally, Elder Thornton stood in that place lonely. He seems to caught something. The appearance of Adrian Curry is not simple as it appears. But he decided to not to ask him. It\'s not his business. He just hoped there won\'t be any new problem because of Elder Jensen. Then he headed to his cabin.

The other hand, Elder Jensen is talking along way and introducing various facilities. To that Dean Curry simply nodded at him to not to embarrass him. But deep in his heart, these facilities seems outdated to him. He had seen several advanced facilities in his academy. For this city he felt this training facility were somewhat okay.

Time went on, Elder Jensen continued to show around the building. Just as they move on to the new building. Elder Jensen comes across an advanced combat chamber of the Senior Class. Both of them stood in front of the building. Elder Jensen frowns seeing a locked building.

On the other hand, Dean Curry felt certain curiosity. He looked at Elder Jensen for answers. Seeing that Elder Jensen smiled helplessly. Other than Elders no one is allowed inside the Hansen campus. The training facility is suspended for period of time. "Who could be?" He said to himself. "Did someone sneaked into the building?" He felt chills behind his back.

He gazed at Dean Curry who is still staring at him. He felt helpless, finally he got an opportunity. So, he doesn\'t want to waste his effort.

Elder Jensen began to contemplate, Finally he recalls one person. A ruthless glint flashes in his eyes remembering him. But he needs to make sure that it\'s him.. If it\'s him, then he needs to utilize this opportunity.
