any other, with the faint light of morning filtering through the curtains of my room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting ready, I left the comfort of my quarters, intending to head straight to the essence chamber to continue my training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But just as I was about to step out, my comm device buzzed, interrupting my thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced at the screen, and my breath caught for a moment when I saw the name displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher is back,” I murmured, recognizing the name instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell, my mentor, had been away on an important mission, and his sudden return was unexpected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, I accepted the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, I’m back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m on the way to HQ right now,” came Lowell’s voice, sharp and serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was an edge to his tone that I hadn’t heard in a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a split second, I was stunned, the weight of his words sinking in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m waiting for you here,” I replied, trying to keep my voice steady, though my mind was already racing with questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the call ended, I furrowed my brows in deep thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that Teacher Lowell had learned about the recent attacks orchestrated by Simon and his cohorts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The implications of those events were serious enough that my teacher would go straight to the Federation Head without delay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This wasn’t just a routine visit-Teacher Lowell was preparing for a serious discussion, and I had no doubt it would be about the threats I had faced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, elsewhere, Lowell turned to face Jonathan, his most trusted aide, who stood before him with a tense expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonathan had just finished briefing him on the details of the attack, recounting everything that had transpired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, a flicker of complicated emotions danced in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could sense the storm brewing within his master, the quiet before an inevitable eruption.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell’s expression remained impassive, but there was no mistaking the cold fury simmering beneath the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Those families have chosen the perfect time to stir up trouble,” he remarked, his voice icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a dangerous undertone to his words, a promise of retribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he knew the Federation Head was reluctant to pursue the matter further, Lowell wasn’t one to let such an offense go unanswered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He decided to bide his time, waiting for the right opportunity to strike back at those who had dared to threaten his student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, however, he would set his anger aside and focus on the more immediate task at hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a final, steely glance at Jonathan, Lowell declared, “I’m going to the HQ now.” Without waiting for a response, he stood up and left the room, his mind already set on his next move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jonathan watched his master leave, understanding that this was far from over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell would not let the matter rest until justice was served.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only imagine what form that justice would take.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward, Lowell arrived at HQ.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His presence was a force to be reckoned with, and those who passed him in the halls could feel the intensity radiating from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had been waiting in front of the elevator, my mind still occupied with thoughts of the impending confrontation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft *creak* of the elevator doors opening pulled me from my reverie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked up just as Lowell stepped out, his aura more powerful than I remembered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear that his time away had not been wasted-his strength had grown, and it showed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, how have you been?” he asked, his stern expression softening slightly as he looked at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher, I’ve reached the Peak Stage in essence,” I replied, unable to hide a hint of pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now I’m working on doing the same with my body strength.” Lowell’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, though he quickly masked it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had given me the silver ring to conceal my cultivation progress, and it seemed my advancements had exceeded even his expectations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding in approval, he said, “Come with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We need to speak with the Federation Head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I heard they’ve asked for a week’s time, but I don’t think we need to wait any longer.” I nodded in agreement, sensing that Lowell was ready to take action.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Together, we entered the lift and ascended to the top floor where the Federation Head’s office was located.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the elevator doors slid open, we were greeted by the sight of the office door already ajar, as if the Federation Head had been expecting us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We stepped inside, and there, sitting behind a grand desk, was Federation Head Ben.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His demeanor was calm, though there was a knowing glint in his eyes as he looked up at us.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I knew you would come,” Ben said with a smile, gesturing for us to take a seat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, both of you.” Despite his outward friendliness, I could sense the underlying tension in the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben was well aware that Lowell was displeased with the way the situation had been handled-the fact that the families involved had used compensation to escape harsher consequences did not sit well with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Ben had been in a difficult position, forced to navigate the delicate balance of power among the influential families and the law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As my teacher and I took our seats, I could only hope that Lowell’s anger wouldn’t spill over during this meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Federation Head was in a bind, but I knew that Lowell wouldn’t let the matter slide easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those families may have been clever, but they had also made a grave mistake in underestimating Lowell’s resolve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell, I know you dislike the compensation idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But trust me, in the future, they will suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially once Zack joins Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They won’t dare to trouble him again,” Ben said, his voice laced with a rare seriousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze was steady, but there was a flicker of something darker beneath the surface, a promise of retribution yet to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell sighed deeply, the tension in his shoulders momentarily easing as he responded, “I know, Head, but the future is uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t want something like this to happen again.” Ben was taken aback by Lowell’s words, a momentary flash of surprise crossing his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had anticipated Lowell’s frustration, but there was a weight to his concern that hadn’t fully registered until now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief pause, Ben leaned forward, his expression thoughtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you worried that we might face a similar situation again?” he asked, his tone more introspective.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell nodded, his jaw tightening slightly as he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew all too well the dangers that lurked in the shadows, especially for someone like Zack, who was destined for greatness but also marked by his enemies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The uncertainty of the future gnawed at him, and he wasn’t one to leave things to chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben’s eyes flickered with understanding as he shifted his gaze to me, sitting quietly next to Lowell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were unspoken concerns, things he couldn’t address openly in front of me, but his resolve was clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned back to Lowell, his voice firm yet reassuring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I will provide Zack with some additional life-saving methods later.” Lowell finally allowed a small smile to break through his stern demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already equipped me with a destruction bead, a powerful artifact capable of devastating even Black Warriors and those above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, he knew that more protections would be necessary, particularly against threats that might come from those below that level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lowell was not one to underestimate his enemies, and ensuring my safety was his top priority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, I sat quietly, absorbing every word exchanged between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension in the room had been palpable, but now, with the promise of additional safeguards, it seemed to ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that there was no conflict, I sighed inwardly, relieved that the meeting hadn’t escalated into something more confrontational.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even as I listened, I couldn’t shake the feeling that this was just the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path ahead was fraught with challenges, and I would need every ounce of strength-and every bit of protection-if I was to navigate it successfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Head, I think they should give the compensation right away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are delaying unnecessary things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not I’m ready to go and meet them,” Lowell said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ben’s mouth twitches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knows his assurance was not enough to convince Lowell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really needs to warn those families again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Lowell might visit there in person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving some thought for a moment, he replied,”Alright, I’ll ask them to provide compensation within one hour.” “If we pressed any further, it would raise their dissatisfaction,” He added.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they do something in future, I will act against them,” Lowell said without hiding anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sigh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, I know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now you can relax,”Ben said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t expect the teacher to be this fierce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looks like he really doesn’t want to back down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS
