Ancient Tears BloodLine-Chapter 563 Vina Potkins

Dean office:

Dean Rebecca is checking her morning reports. Right after, Alice Brown walked into the dean's office.

A hint of surprise flashes in her eyes.

Elder Alice won't come without reporting. Then she asked her to take a seat.

"Has something happened?" She said in her heart.

"Alice, is everything alright?" She asked

Alice Brown sat opposite her. Hearing the dean's question. She knitted her beautiful eyebrows.

She is extremely worried about Eurice. So much that it's impossible to neglect her situation.

"Dean, Eurice is not responding to my call. I feel something else is going on?" Alice replied.

Hearing the name "Eurice" Rebecca quickly recalled the duel between her and Zack. She found that the duel was odd.

But later she didn't have time to look into the reports. Right now, hearing Alice's concerns. She realizes that the girl hadn't left her room since then.

"Perhaps, she is retreating," Rebecca said.

Alice shook her head. She hasn't checked her rooms. But that doesn't mean that her intuition was wrong.

"I don't think so," She answered.

"She talks to me usually before preparing to retreat. This time neither such thing has happened," Alice added further.

Rebecca frowned. She feels Alice is worrying unnecessarily. Then she made a decision. She then texted Eurice Frye. She has asked her to come to the dean's office.

After doing that, she said, "Alright, I'm sending someone to check on her status."

"You should focus on developing other students as well. The year-end competition is coming. This time our academy ranking is important for us."

"I'm planning to conduct an internal competition in a few days. I would like to see the current strength of our students."

"So you should make preparations for that," Rebecca said.

Alice recovered her expression. When she heard about the year-end competition. She finally starts to behave like an Elder.

The competition ranking determines the fate of the RainWater Faction. She wants to raise her faction from the bottom.

"Thank you, Dean. Then I'm leaving," After saying that she left the room.

Rebecca watches her disappear back. When she left the cabin. She summoned the guardians.

A couple of seconds later,

A guardian emerged from the shadow.

Looking at him, she said, "Go and check the status of Eurice Frye in RainWater Faction."

After getting the orders, the black shadow disappeared from the spot.

...

From MC's perspective:

In the gravity chamber, I started to train my body. I'm starting to realize the limit of the Super Elite Stage body strength.

The ape monster had caught me off guard. The monster was similar to mine. It can fight across ranks because of body strength.

If I come across a similar monster in the future, I have to be cautious.

Time passed,

I left the chamber a few hours later.

Surprisingly, Ernest has gone back before me. Then I walked out of the training room. To my surprise, someone else is waiting for me.

"Michael, what are you doing here?" I asked. He is standing before me, blocking my path. From his appearance, it looks like he has been waiting for me for some time.

Then I saw someone laying down on the ground. Right next to him. The next second, I recognized the face.

"Ernest?" I called out loud. My heart is swelling up in anger. This time he has crossed the limit.

According to the rules, private fights are not allowed in the academy. If you want you can challenge the person. And have the duel in the arena.

But Michael is deliberately humiliating Ernest.

Ignoring him, I hurried to check Ernest. After reaching him, I saw punch marks all over his body.

But as usual, Michael didn't beat him to death. There are some internal injuries. But that's all.

I clenched my fist in anger. This guy thinks that I can't beat him. A cold glint flashes in my eyes.

"What?"

"Are you angry?"

"It can't be helped. He asked for it," Michael said in a mocking tone.

Hearing that a hint of disbelief flashes in my eyes. Is he the same person that I met a few months back?

How can a person change completely? Is it because of the family? A lot of questions popped up in my mind.

"Why are you doing this?"

"Ernest was your friend. You shouldn't act in this way," I said, looking into Michael's eyes.

"Friend uh?"

"That was a long time ago."

"But you occupied my place instead," Michael said in a cold tone.

"If you are pissed off, you can challenge me," After saying that, Michael left the place.

Seeing his disappearing back, I couldn't help but grit my teeth in anger. If my base was one stage higher, I wouldn't mind fighting against him.

But right now this is unnecessary. Then I supported Ernest to get up. He seems to have fainted.

After splashing some water over his face. Ernest regained consciousness.

"uh?"

"It hurts," Ernest muttered.

"Are you stupid or what?" I asked.

Hearing Ernest turn toward me.

"What happened?"

"Is he gone?" He asked back.

Sigh~

A sigh escaped from my mouth.

Seeing that Zack is not answering. Ernest understood the answer. He was truly caught off guard by Michael's attack.

He didn't expect to see him here. Michael is taking his anger out on him.

When we walked out of the building. I saw many students gathered in front of the entrance.

"Don't tell me the news was spread that quickly?" Ernest uttered in surprise.

"No, they are warriors from the Gale faction," I replied.

I saw the same duo in the group again. But this time, I spotted an extra blonde hair girl.

At the same time, the Gale faction warriors also spotted Zack and Ernest.

"Sister, he is here," The female warrior said to the blonde hair girl.

The girl is none other than Vina Potkins. She is one of the talented warriors in the elite stage. In the Gale Faction, such people can be counted in fingers.

Vina Potkins dressed in the academy uniform. But her blonde hair is eye-catching. It's easily recognizable by the people.

Vina turned towards the entrance. Unlike the other female warriors, she was outspoken. She recognized the face of Zack Lockwood because of social media posts and duel videos.

On the other hand, I felt a headache coming.

Suddenly, I spotted a blonde hair girl coming towards me.

"You are Zack Lockwood, right?" She asked.

To that, I nodded at her.

Vina frowned but she added further, "I would like to fight against you. Would you accept my formal challenge?"

Gasp~

People who were walking by gasped after hearing her words. The Gale Faction Warriors are fine. They wanted to know how Zack is going to reject the duel request this time.

Ernest was surprised as well. She has learned from Zack. But she didn't expect Vina to approach Zack at this time.

Feeling the gazes on me, I stood cross-armed and looked at her.

"Why should I fight against you?"

"I have many important things to do?"

"I don't have any time left for that duel," I said.

Vina's expression changes drastically. She didn't receive such straightforward answers before.

Usually, warriors fight against each other in the academy to improve themselves. So that's why the Flame faction warriors are constantly looking for a fight.

But Zack is different. Vina bit her lips. She wasn't able to come up with reasonable answers. 𝗯𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝗼𝗿𝐠

Behind her, the Gale faction warriors are dumbfounded again. The slender-looking warrior said, "You are arrogant. It's like she is asking for a life-or-death duel."

"Yeah, he is right. Our senior sister is stronger than you. But other faction members won't believe it. That's why she is requesting a duel," The female warriors said.

At this time, Ernest found nothing wrong with the request.

"Zack, I think it's good for you. Why don't you think of it as a practice match," Ernest asked.

Hearing that my mouth twitches. If it was earlier, I would have accepted her request. But last time, Eurice came with the same request.

Then she poisoned me during the duel.

And I don't know about Vina Potkins. It's too early to accept her request. Last, Jonathan was here. He saved my life.

So I don't know if I will be luckier again.

Seeing that everyone is looking towards me. Suddenly, a good idea comes to mind. "Why don't I try this?" I said in my heart.

"Vina Potkins," I said.

Hearing that everyone's gaze shifted back to her.

"What's your decision?"

"Are you ready to accept my challenge?" Vina asked with hopeful eyes.

I shook my head in response.

"Do you know Eurice Frye right?"

"She gave me a tough fight during our last duel. And she seems to be a lot stronger than you."

"Why don't you try to win against her first? Then you can come to challenge me," After saying that, I started walking toward the dorm.

Vina's eyes widened in disbelief. Not only that, the people around her are dumbfounded as well.

"This was a nice try," Ernest muttered to himself. Then he hurries toward Zack.
