Ancient Tears BloodLine



From MC's perspective:

Goodwill City-Stadium,

Inside the block, the people aren't surprised by the result. Everyone is glad that the duel came to an end. Then the next duel will continue from tomorrow morning.

Then the Academy people start to leave one by one. The Red Moon Tower Warriors are happy and they are walking out with proud expressions on their faces.

Things are going well for them. Similarly, the White Palace Academy warriors are stepping out with their heads held high. This year has been fruitful for them.

Now they can no longer have the tag of bottom-level academy.

When everyone walked out. Finally, the Viper Academy turns. Dean Rebecca didn't say much. She led the students back to the White Mansion.

The people from the Silver Clouds Academy saw their expression. Everyone is carrying a gloating look. It's just their dean warned them not to say anything.

Otherwise, they would have taken the chance to say something and laugh at them. These 2 academies are walking along the same street.

Dean Cooper's expression was solemn. He likes to make fun of them as well. But he saw that the face of Supreme Elder McCarthy was not good-looking.

He seems to be in deep thinking. Feeling the gaze of the dean. The Supreme Elder McCarthy turned towards him.

He said, "Ask them to behave properly."

His voice sounded cold and impatient.

Dean Cooper was surprised. Then he turned around to call out the students. The students who were looking in Viper Academy's direction quickly came towards him.

After getting reprimanded by him, those students' expressions turned grave. They obediently followed the dean's back.

This scene didn't go unnoticed under Supreme Elder McCarthy's eyes. He nodded at the Supreme Elder before resuming walking.

What others didn't know was that his back went cold for a moment. McCarthy knew someone was watching him. He doesn't want to remember the person.

But still, it reminds him of the humiliation and fear. Which shows that this place is not safe for him yet.

Jonathan, on the other hand, took back his gaze. He knows that the Viper Academy situation is bad. He wanted to see what they were up to.

But he didn't expect the Silver Clouds Academy students to have second thoughts. Now the situation is resolved.

He turned towards the Viper Academy side.

Seeing that Zack was alright compared to others. A hint of appreciation flashes in his eyes.

"Maybe he was exposed to information from the inner post earlier. These duels might be significant to him. But for others it's their highest summit," He said to himself.

Then he disappears from the place.

Meanwhile,

"Zack, what about you?"

"Do you have enough lightning essence?" Ernest asked.

Right now, only 3 of us are left alone. As everyone else has walked further away.

"I have purple essence. But I have to use it wisely in the duels," I said to them.

"I was optimistic about you. But after coming here, I realized that there was no resource for lightning here."

"Even the normal world energy is scarce here," Laverne said.

Hearing that I sighed inwardly. These people simply gave up.

"Dean Rebecca has told you before. But you are still being pessimistic," I said to her.

Laverne was stunned before making her face apologetic.

Ernest watched this scene playing before saying, "It's hard for me to accept as well. We came with preparation and hope. But it turns out the efforts are not enough in the end."

Ernest thought Laverne could get these things out of her heart by speaking outside. But he wasn't able to do that. He just kept it inside.

"You guys?" I opened my mouth to say something. But I stopped mid-way.

After that none of us spoke on our way back.

Meanwhile,

The White Palace Academy people returned to their mansion. The Super Elite and Elite Warriors quickly went to their room.

Dean Linda and Supreme Elder sat on the sofa. Supreme Elder Marlene's mood was calm and composed.

Seeing that Linda thought about asking something which is bothering her mind lately.

"Supreme Elder, I want to ask you something?" She said,

Marlene nodded her head before turning towards her.

Seeing that Supreme Elder Marlene was ready to answer.

Linda said, "It's about the Silver Clouds Academy."

Marlene's eyes flash with a glint. She thought about Linda's doubts right now. She was thinking about the same thing during the duels.

The sudden changeover shown by the Silver Clouds Academy is frightening. How can they become so nice in one night?

"Are you thinking about their recent behavior?" Marlene asked.

A hint of surprise flashes in her eyes.

She nodded her head before saying, "Obviously, they had decided to target someone. It became clear when they targeted Viper Academy."

"But from the next day onwards, they have become silent. I thought they would do something in Super Elite Duels."

"Yet they seem like they don't have any intention of targeting anyone," Linda said.

Marlene remained silent before looking at her.

"Do you have any intel on the Viper Academy?" Marlene asked.

The only thing connected to the change in their behavior was the Viper Academy. But what's making her confused?

Their Supreme Elder was not here. So they are all alone. Then why did the Silver Clouds Academy back off?

Dean Linda was lost in her thoughts. Apart from the Silver Clouds Academy. The things surrounding Viper Academy were mysterious as well.

Especially when one of their students offended the Hunter League. Everyone thought that Viper Academy was going to suffer massively.

In the end, the Hunter League didn't make the next move.

There is one relation between the 2 incidents. The changes happened when someone threatened the Viper Academy. What could make them go back?

The next second, she shook her head in denial.

She realized her thinking was too much.

She then looked at the Supreme Elder before starting to speak on recent incidents surrounding the Viper Academy.

A few minutes later,

Supreme Elder Marlene starts to believe that there is something wrong with the Viper Academy as well.

Though she doesn't have any convincing points. Her gut feeling tells her like that.

"Anyway, don't offend the Viper Academy. This year may be bad for them. But it can't be said the same for next year," Marlene said.

She feels that Viper Academy is going to change.

Meanwhile,

The Red Moon Tower was discussing the same topic as well. It's just that they know more about Viper Academy.

Especially more on Zack Lockwood.

"Dean, did they get help from the federation?" Teresa York asked.

She realized today went well without any drama.

Dean Lily Smith revealed a bright smile on her face.

She said, "Looks like Silver Cloud guys are scared by something."

"Did you notice their warriors are afraid to look at the side of Viper Academy," She added.

Hearing that Teresa was shocked to the core. She thought she was the only one paying attention to other academies.

But she didn't even notice this incident.

"Dean, so my guess was right?" Teresa asked back.

Hearing that Lily Smith shook her head.

"If there is someone from the federation here, I would have noticed it. Besides, did you see that White Palace people are clueless as well?"

"Which means federation guys are not here. If there was someone here, then our Supreme Elder would have notified us," She added.

A look of understanding dawned on Teresa's face. "Dean was right. We do have our HQ in the inner post. We would have known if the federation people were here," She said in her heart.

"Then what could explain the current situation?" She asked herself.

"I think only Viper Academy can tell us clearly," Dean Lily Smith commented.

"What about the Hunter League?" Teresa York asked.

Hearing that Lily Smith's eyes flickered.

"Don't need to ask them. They are different organizations. We academy institutions come under one umbrella."

"There is no need to go to such a length. If something happens we have our backing," She said.

Teresa York became silent after that. She has little knowledge about the Hunter League. But she knows that it's a rival organization to all kinds of academic institutions.

...

Back in the Viper Academy:

The atmosphere was solemn. There was no more excited mood. Earlier, everyone watched the Elite level duels with many big screens installed all over the academy.

But enthusiasm died down because of Viper Academy's poor performance. Which made the students not watch the Super Elite duels.

But still, there are exceptions. Some students from the Flame faction are still hoping for good duels from their members.

There are also a few voices optimistic about Zack Lockwood. But no one mentions his name outside. As it could be heard by others.

But it's a different scene in B, C, and D-grade institutions. Everyone is watching the duels. Even the duels between other academies are watched by the students.

Most of them are looking forward to seeing Zack Lockwood's duels. But today no match-up was announced for the Viper Academy.

Unlike A-grade institutions, no one mentions the name of Zack Lockwood in their conversation.
