Ancient Tears BloodLine

I'm on my way to the training center. I hope, I won't come across my seniors this time. I muttered to myself.

After leaving the air cab I entered the building. As usual, I intended to spend my time in the library. A few minutes later, after reaching the library. 

I made my mind to read about the aura. Why it is needed and its importance. I quickly found several books related to it in the printed section. At first, I started to go through the common books. Which is available to everyone.

I spend some time on it.. A few minutes later, I closed the book.

"Sigh" left my mouth. It's the same thing mentioned in the book. But it is described in an academic way. From this book, Just, like I expected. It is stated that Aura is the signature of a warrior.

It will get strengthened along with the level of the warrior.

It has different purposes. It is used to intimidate lower-class Monsters. It is used as an auxiliary ability by capable warriors. Aura has different characteristics. Its attribute is associated with a warrior's element. 

High-level warriors have the ability to change their aura. But it doesn't mention how? "It's very academic" I commented in my heart. After I read the book.

Time passes, I went through many books. My purpose is to find clues about the invisible aura. My bad luck, I didn't find anything like that. I shook my head thinking that. I shouldn't blame myself the library has a limited collection.

A few minutes later, I exited the library. It's time for afternoon training.

I arrived at the discussion hall. I halted my movements after witnessing everyone. Like, the first day, everyone presents today at the same time. Except, one person.

"Zack, why are you standing like that, take your seat" a smooth voice reached my ear. I turned towards her. It's been long. Since I last saw her. Ms. Adeline Key came today to the discussion hall.

I nodded at her and took my seat at the last table. On my way, I found several eyes on me. Which is no surprise to me. "Looks like the trio didn't keep their mouth shut," I commented in my heart.

I found the trio, Andrea Kramer, Ina Walker, and Steven Conway on my right side. And my classmates. Maria Frazier and Candace Wilkerson are on my left side. They were chatting together.

When I looked at the trio. They averted their gaze. I shook my head slightly witnessing that.

"Since, everyone arrived. I'm going to inform two important news" sounded Ms. Adeline Key. Her voice reached each one of us.

Ms. Adeline Key looked at us for a moment. Then she started to explain. "First news is Max Stewart labeled as a missing person"

"Gasp" a loud gasp sounded inside the room.

They look at me. Including Ms. Adeline key for a moment. I didn't show any reaction. I remained silent.

Steven Conway wanted to ask something about it. But, she told him to wait. Until she explains the second one.

"Second news is, there will be no weekend assignment here on" revealed Ms. Adeline key.

"What…?" I commented in my heart. All we had a different reaction to this news. Maria Frazier stood up immediately. "And why is that? How come we are going to train, then" Maria Frazier said in a displeased tone.

The Trio also raised the same question. Even I got the same question in my heart. It's very important for me than any of them. I would rather spend time hunting Class Monsters outside than spend time here.

I need to train both my blood and lightning element. Monster blood is very essential for Blood Cultivation. Otherwise, it would take ages to level up the physic without it.

Bombarded with so many questions. Ms. Adeline key shouted, "Stop it!"

The atmosphere remained silent for a moment. 

Ms. Adeline once again looked at us and said, "when comes to canceling of Assignment. It's entirely up to a higher-level decision. I have nothing to do with It."

Then she continued, "When comes to Max Stewart. The Statement was released by his family. If you have some problem. Then visit his family and ask them."

Hearing that, the atmosphere stilled for a moment. But, then Steven Conway stood up and started accusing me.

He pointed his finger at me said, "Ms. Key, Max was last seen with Zack. He is clearly hiding something." 

Listening to his accusation. I made a stern gaze towards him. Seeing my look, He gulped his saliva. Ina Walker and Andrea Kramer both kept their heads down. They don't want to face me.

I found Candace and Maria's gaze on me. I turned towards them. Before, I stood up from my seat and told to Ms. Adeline Key. "Like you said, Ms. Key. If anyone got an issue. They can freely ask Stewart,'s family."

Then I began to walk downstairs. And finally, I reached near Ms. Adeline Key.

I stood close to her. Then I looked at the trio "It's better for everyone not to create. The unnecessary problem for me." I said with a cold smile on my face.

Hearing that, Steven Conway turned his head towards the other side. He had a defeated look on his face.

Then I told Ms. Key that I need to train. So, I left the discussion hall after that.

I don't know? What do they think about me? Should I take responsibility? For Max. I'm sorry, I'm a good person. That doesn't mean that I'm naïve.

They don't know the real situation. Max probably got assassinated. That's why the higher-ups canceled the assignment trip.

I'm walking on the knife myself. Don't know when I will face the next assassin. So, it's futile to explain everything to them. So, it doesn't matter. If I got a bad name in the end.

I moved towards the gravity chamber. It's good that I asked Uncle James about the Class 2 Monster hunting trip. I didn't expect them to cancel the assignment itself.

Hereafter, I should plan more trips with Uncle James. 

Such thoughts run through my mind. 

I started to train from level basic of the Gravity chamber.
