Ancient Tears BloodLine

From MC\'s perspective:

The atmosphere became quiet after Laverne\'s words. They are having trouble trusting the faction head. 

Shaking my head, I continued to eat the food.

Ernest and Laverne seem to understand the change in mood as well. So they have decided to not talk about this matter.

After having breakfast, we walked out of the dining hall. Ernest turned toward me. 

He asked, "Are you going to talk to the dean?"

Laverne blinked her big eyes. It was not a surprise anymore. Everyone knows that I\'m privileged in the academy. 

Because I\'m not attending the classes at all. If I had one of the five elements. Then I have no problem attending the class. But no one can teach me here.

I looked at them and replied, "I\'m going to see her now. Let\'s see whether she is going to take action or not."

Hearing my words both of their worries eases down a little. 

"She won\'t believe it," Laverne added.

Ernest quickly said, "Okay, let\'s not discuss this now. We should focus on improving our strength."

Then we talked about a few more things before parting ways. I head straight toward the dean\'s office.

But after a few minutes, I got there. I was stopped by the staff. I raised my eyebrows in confusion. Because this was new to me.

"Stop? Don\'t go further," The staff said.

"Why? I came here to meet the dean," I replied.

Hearing that the staff face changes drastically. Yesterday\'s event was vivid in everyone\'s mind.

"Alright, you can enter," The staff answered after taking a look at me. He recognized who I was. 

Then I walked into the room. But the next moment I was greeted by something unexpected.

The structures seem to be destroyed. Then a sudden realization dawned on me. Dean Rebecca seems to have fought with Carlos.

These were just the aftermath of it. After knowing that I walked to her cabin.

Creak~

But when I walked near her room. The door opened automatically.

Seeing that I stepped inside. Dean Rebecca is sitting behind her desk.

"Dean?" I said.

"You are here. Sit down," Rebecca replied.

Then I sat on the opposite seat to her.

For a moment there was silence. I don\'t know how to bring up this topic. 

Rebecca saw through Zack\'s thoughts. When she went to the supreme elder to complain. The Supreme elder didn\'t believe her words at all.

The supreme elder thought it might have been a coincidence. 

Carlos Kent has a good track record in the academy. So it\'s difficult to move against him without any concrete evidence.

After a few minutes, she broke the ice.

"I know what happened?" Rebecca said without blinking her eyes. 

Hearing the dean\'s sudden words my heart set off storms. 

"Dean, what happened to him?" I asked. 

Because I couldn\'t find any reason for Carlos Kent to hurt us. From Ernest and Laverne, I heard that he was fine before the seclusion.

He is showing sudden changes after knowing me. I remembered the first meeting with Carlos Kent in the Special Faction Common Room. That was not good at all.

Rebecca collected her thoughts. She doesn\'t want to scare Zack. She also fears that Zack would inform his teacher. Then things would be troublesome.

The Supreme Elder also warned her about this. No need to create unnecessary panic. So without having evidence in her hands. She doesn\'t want to tell Zack everything. She decided to lie now.

"Zack, don\'t worry. It seems to be a coincidence. Carlos Kent doesn\'t have any bad intentions," She lied. 

But in her heart she was uncomfortable. She hoped that her instincts were wrong. If Carlos Kent turned out to be the culprit, then it would be a big disaster in the future.

"What? No bad intentions." A hint of disappointment flashes in my eyes. 

From day one, I felt no good from him. For a moment, I don\'t know how to reply. Laverne\'s words came to mind. She was right. 

Dean won\'t believe my words without evidence.

"Zack, are you alright?" She asked.

"Uh?"

Her words brought me back to reality. 

"It\'s okay Dean. I\'m leaving now," After saying that I exited the room.

Rebecca showed complex emotions. She is considering the big picture. And she can\'t act without the Supreme Elder\'s order. 

Especially when Zack Lockwood is involved in this. She should be extra cautious. 

After walking out of the building, I looked down. I thought I could convince her. But a bitter smile appeared on my face. 

A few minutes later,

I came back to my room. When I lay down on my bed. A sudden call brought me a huge relief.

The person is none other than Jonathan.

"What a pleasant surprise?" I asked myself.

How long has it been? After my message, he made up his mind to call me in the end.

Then sat up and attended the call.

"Jonathan?" I asked.

"Young master Zack, how have you been?" A deep voice sounded from the other end of the call. 

No doubt the voice belongs to Jonathan.

"I\'m in trouble right now, "I replied.

"What happened?" He asked.

Hearing that I started to speak. Starting from the Sharp Daggers incident to the gathering incident. And finally, I told you about the bedrock city incident.

After a few minutes, I stopped. 

Why do I feel? Everything was connected after explaining it to him. 

"What is his name? Carlos Kent right?"

"Don\'t worry, I\'ll find everything," Jonathan assured me.

After hearing his words, I felt a huge weight being lifted off my shoulder. Then we talked about other things including my resources problem.

I requested him to bring the lightning resources with him. Then I ended the call a few minutes later.

...

Days passed,

Carlos Kent is living in his home. He is waiting for the resources to appear. Once he receives the breakthrough resources, he will prepare for the next course of action.

Apart from waiting, he is also keeping an eye on the Academy. He feared the Supreme Elder would ask him to appear. 

But fortunately, none of that happened. Which shows that nobody suspected him after that incident. When the image of Zack comes to mind. His mouth curved into an arc. 

If not for Zack, he would not have gotten the opportunity. Now he decides to wait.

Several minutes later,

Someone knocked on his door. Hearing that, Carlos went outside to see. In his front year, someone with a disguised look appeared.

Seeing that his eyes gleamed with a twinkle.

He immediately recognized the person. He must be the spy of the Giant Tower. His eyes lit up with surprise. He thought that the dean had uprooted everyone. 

Looks like there are still some pests hiding in the city. But he doesn\'t care about that at all. Carlos then stretched his hand. And the person standing in front of him placed the storage ring on his palm.

The next moment, he disappeared from the spot. Carlos ignored him and set his gaze on the ring. His eyes shone with bright light. 

The opportunity arrives. The next moment, he hurriedly went back to his training room. Unlike the one in the academy. 

His training room is quite spacious.

Specifically built for his training. When he entered the room, He immediately began to set up the formations. 

The formation would prevent anyone from knowing his breakthrough. He began to pile up the resources in front of him. There are many types of resources including expensive herbs, pills, and natural treasures.

If anyone saw these treasures, they would be shocked to the core. Carlos Kent grinned ear to ear. He had collected several resources in the past few years. 

But none of them are close to the treasures in front of him. Because these resources are rare and high-grade. Most importantly they were taken from the Giant Tower.

He was even surprised by the determination of the Giant Tower. He doesn\'t know whether the Giant Tower headmaster made the decision himself or not. But anyway it became cheaper for him. 

When all the resources are placed. He began to prepare himself for the breakthrough. He just has to take another half step to reach the SSS-Elite Stage.

But that was not easy. Any small mistake would cause damage to his foundation. So he decided to attempt a breakthrough during his peak stage.

So he turned off the sci-fi watch and other modes of communication. So that no one can disturb him during the breakthrough.

After arranging everything, he decided to mentally prepare. 

Time passed, 

Carlos Kent sat cross-legged on the floor. Then he began to swallow the main resources one by one for the breakthrough.

The rest of them can be consumed later to stabilize the base.

When he swallowed the last resources. Massive energy is gathered inside the body. He then began to attack the barrier. 

The barrier remains unscathed during the first attempt. Then he began to gather energy again to attack the barrier. When the attack collided with the barrier.

Several cracks began to appear. After a few seconds, the barrier was gone completely. Carlos successfully cleared the barrier to becoming SSS-Elite Soil Elemental Warrior.
