Chapter 676 Gathering at the Goodwill City
From MC's perspective:
Viper Academy,
The next day, the dean asked the selected warriors to gather at the academy entrance. After hearing that I realized we are leaving for the internal competition ahead of the duel day.
After leaving the room, I met with Ernest and Laverne at the entrance of the dorm. Fortunately, they got their place in the Final List.
Then 3 of us started walking towards the academy entrance.
"I didn't expect my name to be on the list," Ernest said. A couple of weeks ago, his thoughts were different. He didn't want to participate then.
But later things changed not only in their academy but in other academies as well. He doesn't think that Giant Tower and Eclipse Academy are going to be as domineering as they used to be.
On their side, things have changed for the better because of Carlos Kent. The Special Faction Head doesn't seem to be scary anymore.
"Well, we got one person missing," Laverne said with a sigh.
Hearing that I thought about Michael. Then I shook my head. I will be leaving after the competition. I should find a suitable time to tell them.
Then no one talked about Michael. It will only spoil the mood. Soon, we reached the entrance where we saw other warriors.
"10 Elite and Super Elite Warriors," I said in my heart. I don't know how it is going to be compared with others.
The Red Moon Tower experience gave me a good understanding of the students in other academies.
I have fought with the Giant Tower students before. This time they are going to send the strongest team.
Then there is Eclipse Academy, Silver Clouds Academy, and the White Palace.
Whenever I hear the name "White Palace". The image of Maria Frazier comes to mind. Even during my last hometown visit.
I didn't inquire about the Frazier Clan. I was so focused on the remnants that I almost forgot about her clan.
Too many things happened during my hometown visit. The Hansen Academy's destruction. Coupled with the death of Elder Thornton and Granny Park was too much to handle at that time.
"Hey, what are you thinking?" Laverne's voice reached my ears.
The next second, my thoughts returned to reality. Then I looked ahead. I saw the dean was already here.
She is looking at me. I nodded my head at her.
"Alright, since everyone is here. We can leave," Dean Rebecca said.
"Let's go," I said to Ernest and Laverne. Then followed the group before us.
For this trip, the academy has arranged an airship for the trip. Looking at the black airship, the students let out a cheer.
Then everyone started to board one by one. For this trip, only the dean is coming with us. Carlos Kent is going to stay back.
As there was no Supreme Elder, his presence was much needed in the academy.
The airship has a huge 2 common rooms and other private cabins. Where everyone can be seated.
Instead of entering the room, a few of us arrived at the deck.
"Young master, don't worry. I'm following you from behind."
Jonathan's words reached my mind. Hearing that I shook my head. Jonathan is still worried that Hunter League might take action.
So he decided not to leave my shadow before reaching the teacher's place. My mood is a bit complicated.
I'm also looking forward to entering the inner post. At the same time, I'm feeling down thinking about leaving my hometown, the Academy, friends, and everything.
Suddenly, Uncle James' words come to mind.
"Deceased Parents uh?" I said in my heart. I don't want to think about their background right now.
I don't know whether Uncle James' words contain the truth or not. It feels absurd. Who comes to the barren outer post from the rich inner post?
The reason itself makes me unbelievable. So for now, I'm going to focus on training under a teacher.
On the other hand, Dean Rebecca was aware that the mysterious person behind Zack would follow. That's why she convinced Carlos to stay behind.
She is sitting inside the private cabin. She has been worried about this since yesterday. Compared to earlier days, she feels good right now.
It's all because of security brought by Zack and the person behind him. She knows even if the Supreme Elder was alive. He won't leave the Academy to participate in the year-end conference.
At that time he was already dying because of old age and hidden injury. Now she feels good about the year-end conference.
There is one more reason behind this feeling. She knows that Giant Tower and the Eclipse Academy won't be able to execute their small calculations.
Both the academies have weakened a lot. They won't be able to show their usual arrogance anymore.
After leaving the Academy space, the airship started moving towards Goodwill City. Similarly, the Red Moon Tower also decides to leave earlier.
There is also White Palace who have decided to come early as well.
Time passed,
The Goodwill City was bustling with new visitors every day. Some of them have picked temporary land outside of the city.
Only people with a strong background can do that. They have managed to build up several tents outside the city.
Various rich families have taken this way so as not to miss the year-end competition. Since many rental houses are booked.
They can't use their influence or force inside the city. If it happens it doesn't matter whether it's an Elite level or Super Elite level family. They are going to suffer.
Apart from the Hunter League, people from the Army Federation have entered the city as well. Usually, members of the federation stay outside of the city.
Most of them are stationed in dangerous areas. Including the forest and barren lands.
So their visit has caused a lot of people to raise their eyebrows. Including the people in the Hunter League.
Surprisingly, Zack's name was famous and his background was heard by many people. So the federation people from the nearest place have come here.
