we reached Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main Elder Cathy and Rosy were taken to the infirmary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the purple-marked guard dropped Clara and me at the Golden Lightning Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew it was the calm before the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Shadow University was likely going to pay a heavy price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I took Clara to Master Austin’s residence to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had given us his access code.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering, we sat on each sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clara seemed to be worn out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She fell asleep on the sofa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at my drenched and exhausted state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t want to be here alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I decided to use the Master’s bathroom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome’s Office: The Purple Mark Guard returned to the Dean’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome was already there waiting for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing him, he immediately inquired about the details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Purple Mark Guard updated him with details, he wanted to know everything from the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dark Shadow University had crossed a red line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard wasted no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to brief him from the starting events where Zack Lockwood started his journey in Star City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The problem started when greedy people decided to attack Star City’s Force Airship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then spoke about how he solved that incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was fine up to their border city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem began again when they reached Dark Shadow University’s border city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later, The Purple Mark Guard finished saying everything, including their escape from the Border City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Zack Lockwood’s red ring, they would have been killed then and there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like I made the right decision by giving that red ring to that kid,” Jerome thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gave the red ring for that kid’s protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t expect that kid to use the red ring to save the main elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only imagine if the Half-Step Red Mark had decided to kill everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would have been an easy job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Warriors were no match against the Half-Step Red Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To think the internal politics of the Dark Shadow University were worse than theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is she here?” Jerome asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Main Elder Rosie is undergoing treatment here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I dropped her disciple at Austin’s place,” the Purple Mark Guard replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They have stood against their own main elders and the faction leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they go back, their lives would be endangered,” Jerome said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew that some of the Dark Shadow University people were not extreme, but their numbers were small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main Elder Rosie was one of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arrange asylum for her and her disciple here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll take care of this matter,” Jerome said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard nodded before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was injured during the fight, so he intended to recuperate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like everyone was hit hard,” Jerome muttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The injuries of the Purple Mark Guard didn’t escape his notice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it comes to the incident, of course, he was going to retaliate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was not the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because one of the powerful secret lands was going to open soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All other forces would enter there to collect resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resources there would be useful to everyone, including the Black Mark Warriors and above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But not everyone could enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought if the two universities engaged in a fight right now, many casualties would occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This would benefit other forces, especially during the time of the secret land opening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately summoned the Thunderflame Faction Leader.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, Old man Clifford arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing him, he immediately complained about the grave injustice he had heard from Austin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was shocked to know a Half-Step Red Mark Warrior had attacked them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome let out a deep sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sit first,” he said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that, old man Clifford nodded before taking the seat opposite him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know what happened.” “By this time, you should know that I’m the one who sent a Purple Mark Warrior to secretly protect Zack Lockwood,” Dean Jerome said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, I have heard it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks for the help, Dean,” old man Clifford replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew if not for the protector sent by Dean Jerome, that kid would have died at the hands of people on Star University’s Force Airship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Glad that you were aware.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, I’m familiar with the rules of the Dark Shadow University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s why I was surprised when I heard he was going to do a mission there.” “On one hand, we can’t blame that kid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he did a mission here, he would have faced problems from Faction Leader Vince,” Dean Jerome said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing that name, old man Clifford’s face changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome noticed that and said, “So that kid did the bravest thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only did he reach the Auction House, but he also managed to save everyone.” “It’s not easy to activate the restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the owner was not ready to face the danger, the red ring wouldn’t have released the Red Mark Warrior’s power,” he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, old man Clifford was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He almost forgot about it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Zack Lockwood was wearing the ring, he knew what it took to activate the restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you understand what I’m trying to say?” Jerome asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That kid Zack Lockwood has the potential to reach the Red Mark Warrior rank,” old man Clifford said in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good,” Jerome uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He continued, “Initially, I had made an assessment that kid could become a Purple Mark Warrior, even the strongest one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn’t think about the Red Mark rank.” “That too without having an inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He activated the restriction,” Jerome added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford’s expression changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the attack on the main elders, he almost forgot to look into this matter deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dean, if the news gets out, there will be assassinations on that kid from all sides,” Clifford said in a worried tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, so we have to make him reach the Black Mark Warrior rank as soon as possible,” Dean Jerome said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I’ll arrange for one more Purple Mark Warrior Guard for that kid if he plans to go out,” he added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dean, what about the revenge?” old man Clifford asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That powerful secret land is going to open soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That secret land has not been completely explored.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We don’t know what resources and treasures are hidden there.” “All the forces are eyeing that secret land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we go to fight against the Dark Shadow University at this time, it will only benefit a third party.” “Besides, the resources in that secret land are important for us as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They will help increase the ranks of many monster hunting squad members in a short period.” “So I don’t want us to miss it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When it comes to revenge, there will be time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ask others to stay silent about this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Don’t act until I say so,” Jerome said in a solemn tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford sighed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood the importance of the powerful secret land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then nodded in reply, “Don’t worry, Dean, I’ll keep watch over them.” “Good, you can leave now,” Dean Jerome said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford left the place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome’s eyes flickered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The appearance of the secret land made him control his anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, he had many ways to make them pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dark Shadow University: Old man Ben and the other injured main elders were taken to the infirmary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was undergoing important treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Shadow Auction Elder was killed during the fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was killed by Zack Lockwood’s red ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Main Elder Rosie and her disciple left with the Star University people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Ben fell unconscious shortly after the Star University people left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had revealed the truth, the whole Dark Shadow University would be alarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone who was not even a Black Mark Warrior had killed their Purple Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the other main elders in the University were able to know that the Star University people had left safely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take long for them to find out about the death of the Shadow Auction Elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It totally enraged them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But they were puzzled by his death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They couldn’t find any clues regarding the killer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other trio main elders who blocked Rosie were undergoing treatment as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been unconscious all this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t even know that Faction Leader Ben got hurt as well, which shocked them to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew the help brought by the Star University people consisted of Purple Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But how could they injure their faction leader?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone was confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only wait for the Half-Step Red Mark Warrior to wake up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only he could provide them with clarification.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these main elders didn’t forget about one more person who opposed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person was none other than Main Elder Rosie and her disciple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They started to inform others about her actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, some of their main elders were worried, especially those who were not extreme and were like Main Elder Rosie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that trio of main elders’ accusations, they were shocked and surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Your
