Ancient Tears BloodLine

Hearing the term leaderboard ranking she knew the butler was talking about the Star Tower Challenge. Then she suddenly remembers Zack, "What did he do?" She wondered. Then without waiting for her butler to reveal anything. She immediately accessed her sci-fi watch to view the news site.

In the news site, under the trending section. Zack Lockwood\'s name is mentioned in bold letters. Under that various deeds of his were clearly mentioned. Especially about Star Tower\'s No. 1 Ranking.

Looking at the leaderboard her eyes widened. Her heart set on storms, especially looking at the floor ranking and clearance timing. Compared to him, suddenly she feels weak.  There are others from various forces mentioned in the leaderboard ranking. But compared to Zack, there is still a huge gap between him and others.

"Monster," She uttered in disbelief.

Looking at the young miss\'s shocked face, the butler doesn\'t know whether to laugh or cry.  He too felt a huge shock when he read the news. He slowly said, "Miss?"

Maria took a deep breath. She thought it\'s useless to compare him. She still remembers when they first battled in a blood kill test. Due to various restrictions and privacy laws, Hansen campus didn\'t allow the live broadcast. As a result, Zack\'s ability is a complete mystery to everyone.

Even today, she can\'t feel the depth of this person. Shaking her head, she looked at her butler and asked, "Old Uncle, What do you think of him?" She really wants to hear the opinions of elders. Maybe they have seen something, which she failed to see earlier.

Hearing that, Butler nodded and began to ponder for a moment. Even though he felt disappeared earlier, Right now, after viewing that ranking he put behind all the prejudice against Zack. He feels everyone greatly underestimated that kid, with this kid\'s performance. He may easily get into their high profile academies. He doesn\'t have to compete much, unless he wants to admit I\'m a better graded institution.

The old butler sighed and said, "Young Miss, This Kid Zack is strong. Possibly stronger than you." He spoke straightforwardly. Since Young Miss asked this question, He don\'t want to lie.

On the other hand, Maria didn\'t get angry. But she begins to contemplate, her assumption becomes true, it\'s not related to level. But he may be stronger to such a degree that he can skip levels and fight against his opponents.

She believed 100% now, Zack was destined to be admitted into the academy. He won\'t rot here. She might see him in the future as well. After realizing this she reveals a small smile before it quickly disappears. She too has her own path, to become strong and develop her clan.

On the other hand, the butler notices the small changes. But he doesn\'t say anything, all he wants is that her young miss not to give up. Seeing her small smile, He sighed in relief.

After this episode was over, Maria went to her room. The other hand Butler was summoned by Clan Head.

The old Butler walked slowly to Clan Head\'s office room.  After all it\'s a big clan, the clan itself covered several hectares.  After slowly arriving in front of the room, the old Butler knocks the door.

"Knock"

"Come in" a commanding voice came from inside.

Hearing that the butler opened the door and walked inside.

The Clan Head, Mr. Frazier is sitting behind his desk. After summoning the butler, He is waiting for his arrival. A moment later, seeing that butler arrived. He let him inside.

The old butler entered inside, seeing the Clan Head. He said, "Master!"

Mr. Frazier didn\'t lift his head but asked, "Did you see the news?" He is currently skimming through the clan\'s reports. But his mind is on the main topic.

Hearing the question, the old Butler\'s mind points to the Star Tower Challenge.  He said in a low voice, "Master, is it about the Star Tower Challenge?"

Mr. Frazier nodded his head slightly.

After confirming it, the butler said, "Being Seed Candidate of Hansen Campus is now completely satisfied. There won\'t be any voices against him (Zack) both internally and externally."

Hearing that Mr. Frazier\'s face turned a little bit serious. He said, "Looks like my bet on that kid is right. Earlier, Maria asked my permission to withdraw from the Seed Candidate Challenge. At first, I felt displeased but later l placed a bet on this kid and accepted Maria\'s withdrawal."

Hearing that old butler nodded, He too was present on that day during the discussion.  Really on that day, He felt displeased for Zack. He thought because of friendship Young Miss was not participating in the Seed Challenge. But looking at today, Young Miss is right all along. Instead they failed to see the big picture.

Then Mr. Frazier thought about something, "What do you think? Hansen is really capable of protecting this Kid, until he joins the academy. "He inquired in a serious tone.

On the other hand, the old butter begins to ponder. They knew there is only existence that could deter all the forces present in the Hansen campus that is Elder Thornton, An Elite Level Veteran. But recent happenings occurred on that campus, and I couldn\'t help but raise my eyebrows.

The old butler straightforwardly said, "Master, It\'s hard to tell, other than Elder Thornton. There are no powerful warriors. Even Elder Thornton has a post of Chairman. I don\'t think he got a leisure time to guard that kid."

Then he seems to think about something and solemnly added, "Even Elder Thornton decides to protect that kid. But now, it will be difficult after Kid\'s performance in Star Tower. "

Mr. Frazier let out a deep sigh hearing that. He too understands the seriousness of the situation. He really thought of an idea, if that kid gets into the Academy.  His future will be bright, so there won\'t be a problem having connections with strong people.  But for that he needs to survive first. Even he wasn\'t able to calm down. Such a talented person won\'t be left by the enemy forces.

At this time, the old butler couldn\'t help but ask, "Master, What are you thinking about?"

Hearing that Mr. Frazier said, "I\'m just thinking how we can help this kid? If we won\'t help him in his troubled times and especially at his growth stage. He won\'t appreciate it, when he becomes strong and gains a name for himself."

Hearing that old butler nodded but he doesn\'t have any solution for this problem. Especially to deter those opposing forces, one needs a strong background. In Zack\'s situation, He lacks especially this. The old butler sighed in his heart.

He looked at the clan head and answered, "Master, to stay away from this storm, that kid needs to stay low key for a while."

Hearing that Mr. Frazier smiled helplessly. "Even if they miss somehow. They won\'t miss Crimson Hall\'s exhibition event. "

Hearing that old butler sucked cold breathe for a moment. He even forgot about those villains. He feels a slight headache, "Master, Then How come people from Hansen campus allowed him to participate?"

Mr. Frazier straightened his back for a moment. "I\'m too puzzled about this. Let\'s just wait and see for a while. In the meantime, collect some Intel about those forces. Maybe this could help him." He said with a calm tone.

Hearing that old Butler nodded. Then they began to discuss class matters before they ended the meeting a few hours later.

…

Inside the Hansen Campus building,

Mr. Arthur has a bewildered expression as he looks at the live leaderboard ranking. "This kid hides too deep, I need to talk to James about it. Is it his real strength or artifact?" He wondered to himself.

The more dazzling Zack looks, the more he feels helpless about it. He is the one responsible for persuading Zack to Participate in Seed Challenge. At first he thought everything was going fine. But for the past few weeks, He couldn\'t make any head or tails about the event. Elder Thornton seems to be hiding some secret. But he doesn\'t dare to ask, every day he recalls that incident.

The presence of Elder Thornton surprised him that day. He thought he was going to die facing against the assassin. But Elder Thornton saved him from dying. It still feels unreal, He seems almost like he is waiting for that assassin. Shaking his head, he came out behind those negative thoughts. Right now, He needs to protect Zack. Quickly, He needs to find a way for it.. While pondering it, He also looked at the leaderboard ranking.
