Ancient Tears BloodLine



From MC's perspective:

10:45 A.M

A few minutes before the duel, I entered the registration office along with Ernest and Laverne. 

Before the duel, the participants have to sign the agreement. When we reached the room. There is a staff member already waiting for us with documents.

After signing the papers, I turned to Ernest and Laverne. I said, "Alright, I'm going."

Ernest nodded his head and said, "We will be cheering for you from the spectator spot."

"Be careful of her," Laverne said.

Hearing that I nodded at them before walking to the entrance. 

When I walked out, I spotted a massive crowd at the gallery. All of them are warriors and elders from all the institutions.

Gasp~

A commotion broke out right after my appearance. 

Ignoring everyone, I started walking toward the duel stage. There are still 15 minutes left before the start of the duel. 

After arriving at the duel stage. I stopped and looked at the referee. A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. 

The elder is from the Flame Faction. I hope there won't be any tricks. 

Meanwhile,

Carlos Kent enters the academy. He then started moving toward the arena in mid-air. He wasn't aware that someone was already following him.

That person is none other than Jonathan.

Suspicion about Carlos has already deepened in his heart. He is a little away from catching him red-handed. 

Jonathan also keeps Zack's duel in mind. Since he is already following Carlos. Using this opportunity he decided to watch the duel.

At the same time, the other faction elders are already waiting in the spectator area.

Franklin Madden, the Vice Dean, was standing together with the Flame Faction Members. 

From time to time, he is looking toward the Rain Water Faction direction. 

"Where is her student?" He muttered to himself, looking at Elder Alice. 

When he first heard about the duel. He didn't believe that a water elemental warrior would be any different from the flame elemental warrior.

But the girl Eurice was different compared to her peers. She had learned a lot from Elder Alice. So he is thinking it might do the trick.

On the side of the Metal Faction, 

Marcus Lin is observing the person on the duel stage. He doesn't know how far Zack has improved from the previous duel. 

Because he wants to encourage the Metal Faction Warriors to come forward. The remaining genius warriors are still in retreat. 

He fears that Zack will break out before they end the retreat. When it comes to the current duel. Like Franklin, he is too looking forward to watching Elder Alice's disciple's duel.

Similarly, the Rock Earth Faction Head and the Gale Wind Faction Head are seated in their seats. Unlike other factions, their warriors are yet to fight against Zack.

It's not like they didn't have genius warriors among them. But they are smart compared to their hot-headed peers. So from the current duel, they will be learning from them.

On the other hand,

"Has everyone come?" Rebecca muttered to herself. She then looked at the time. Seeing that 10 minutes left for the duel. 

She decided to go five minutes later.

The academy's social media site is live-streaming the event.

So those who can't go to the arena can also watch duels.

Some students are currently staying with their families in Viper City. Through their accounts, their family also has a chance to watch the duel live.

Similar scenes are taking place everywhere. But compared it to the "A" grade institution factions. The people from other institutions are polite and silently looking forward to the duel.

They also want to witness the gap between them and "A" grade institution warriors. So somewhere it's also become a prestigious event for the "A" grade institution. 

By conducting the duel in the area before everyone. They can showcase their talent before everyone. Which in turn justifies their recruitment policy.

5 minutes later,

Dean Rebecca silently appeared above the stadium. Next, she saw Zack standing on the dual stage waiting for the opponent to appear. 

"Where is he?" She muttered, noticing that there was no one to support Zack in the Special Faction Area.

Including, the Special Factio Head Carlos Kent. 

"That guy seems to be low-key after getting beaten up by me," She said with a smile.

She then thought no one could feel her presence. 

But down below Carlos Kent's pupil shrank. He purposely avoided looking above. He knew Dean Rebecca had come to watch the duel.

If he shows any movements she can see through the duel.

So he is trying to remain unnoticed among the crowd. For that, he didn't even go to their Special Faction Area.

Hiding in the shadows, Jonathan observes everything with an amusing smile on his face. He also saw Carlos Kent's acting and Rebecca's sudden appearance.

Looking at Rebecca, Jonathan frowned. "I thought this woman was smart," He said in his heart. 

He can tell that Carlos is trying hard to hide his flaws. Carlos wants to be less seen. This tells Jonathan that Rebecca wasn't aware of everything happening in the academy.

Now seeing everything with his own eyes. He believes in Zack's words right now. 

On the other side,

Ernest and Laverne found a good spot to watch the duel. As they are 2 members from the Special Faction, they didn't go to their faction area. Because there was no one there.

In the fighting stage,

Cheer~

Eurice Frye made an appearance. Seeing her the crowd broke out in cheer. Almost all water elemental warriors are cheering for her. It doesn't matter whether it's an A grade or not.

Eurice is represented on behalf of water elemental warriors.

After appearing on the duel stage, Eurice saw her opponent for the first time. 

"So he is Zack Lockwood. Nothing seems great to me," Eurice said in her heart. Her eyes are looking for a weakness. 

But she couldn't see through Zack's strength.

"What?" Her eyes lit up with surprise. Then she understood he was using some kind of artifact.

Then she shook her head. She had made up her mind to use that poison pill. So it doesn't matter whether he has safety artifacts or not.

As long as he inhales the poison powder, he will be poisoned. Before coming to the arena, she took time to consume the antidote. 

That's why she was late. But the antidote didn't show any reactions so far. After confirming it, she felt relieved.

Meanwhile,

I stood cross-armed and looked at her. Don't know why? I'm getting a little uneasy. Then I removed the messy thoughts and got ready to duel.

The referee set his gaze on the timing. When the clock hit 11 a.m. He gave the signal.

Swoosh~

Eurice released her scythe attack. When she cut. A strong water-blue arc shot at me.

My eyes flickered. I sidestepped to evade the attack on time. But when the water blue attack hits the empty stage near me.

Ssshhh~

I heard the scorching sound. 

"Steam," I uttered in surprise. It's not a single attribute of water elemental power. She is using hot water attacks. It was in contrast to the ice attacks I have heard of.

A hint of amazement flashes in my eyes. Now that I know where the uneasy feeling comes from. She perhaps has mutated the water element. Which gives her steaming ability.

I don't know how it works with techniques.

Gasp~

The crowd let out a huge gasp. Most of them are watching on the screen. The hot water attack left them speechless.

Eurice Frye is not your average water elemental warrior. Where they are considered weak against other elements.

She has a record of beating Fire Elemental Warrior in a duel last year. Some of them started to recall that particular match.

Ernest and Laverne's expressions turned solemn. "Here we go, her elemental power is going to trouble him," Laverne commented. 

Ernest is quietly observing the duel. Both of them are aware of her elemental power. After witnessing Zack's confidence, they didn't mention it before.

On the Rain Water Faction side,

Alice Brown revealed a small smile on her face. Behind her, the female warriors are cheering hard for their friend. 

If Eurice manages to defeat Zack, then it would be a great achievement. Not only they can stand together with Special Faction Warriors shoulder to shoulder.

They can also set records of defeating Zack before the Flame Faction and the Metal Faction. 

On the Flame Faction side,

Franklin's mouth twitches. Seeing the hot water attack, he believes the result won't be one-sided. There is a good chance for her to win. 

If she overcomes the domineering lightning power, then it would be an easy win for her. He didn't know about Zack's circumstances. 

In mid-air, a trace of worry flashes in Rebecca's eyes. This was the exact thing she wanted to remind Zack the other day.

She doesn't know whether Zack can engage in close combat before her attack reaches him.

At the same time, Carlos is grinning ear to ear.

"It's time to end him," Carlos muttered to himself slowly. But he doesn't know that his words are heard by Jonathan. 

Jonathan raises his eyebrows.
