pacing back and forth, with the weight of anticipation gnawing at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The walls around me felt smaller than usual, and the stillness in the air made the silence deafening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t help but wonder what was happening beyond this door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If my instincts were right, Teacher Lowell must have caused quite a stir by now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I chuckled softly to myself, knowing that the families who dared to challenge us would think twice before making any more moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their fear would keep them at bay for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if they somehow mustered the courage to strike again, there’s no way the Federation Head could accuse me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes gleamed with a flicker of determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was lucky-so lucky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hadn’t blindly consumed those pills when I had the chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had I done so, all my hard work would have gone to waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one else understands what I’m going through, what’s at stake for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While others might be chasing power without a second thought, for me, this steady progression is a matter of survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My mind wandered back to the truth of my existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If I don’t develop my physique to the highest possible level, the ancient blood hidden inside my body will one day take my life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This bloodline, once revered, could be my undoing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I clenched my fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only by pushing my body to the extremes, refining every fiber of my being, could I hope to contain the immense power of my inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Until I reach that pinnacle, it feels like a sword hangs over my head, a constant threat of death lingering in the shadows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But something’s different now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That constant worry, that nagging fear-it’s not as sharp anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Federation Head, alongside Teacher Lowell, seemed confident that Star University would extend their hand to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And not just through the usual trials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A special situation was brewing-one that would allow the University to accept more warriors without stringent tests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought of being at Star University filled me with hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, I would have access to the kind of resources that could help me push my physique to the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could finally chase after the power that would save my life, and perhaps, even go beyond survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After what felt like an eternity, but was in truth about 30 minutes, a sharp knock echoed through my room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I turned and walked to the door, my mind still racing with thoughts of what might be unfolding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I opened the door, there stood Teacher Lowell, a wide smile spread across his face, the tension that had once marred his features now gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, take this storage ring,” he said, his voice light with satisfaction as he handed over a small, unassuming ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll give you the other rings after we finish testing.” I took the ring from him, feeling its cool surface in my palm, knowing the resources inside could mean the difference between life and death for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before I could say anything, Teacher Lowell added, “I’ve already spoken with the Federation Head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You can use these resources without any worry.” Relief washed over me as I nodded in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We exchanged a few more words, discussing next steps and plans, but my mind was already racing ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few minutes, Teacher Lowell left, leaving me alone once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I stared at the ring in my hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a small thing, but it represented so much-hope, power, survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The path ahead was still uncertain, but I was more prepared now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every step I took from this moment would bring me closer to mastering my body, to controlling the ancient bloodline inside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, the sword of death would no longer hang over me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One day, I would be free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Federation Head sat in his office, his face etched with a mix of frustration and relief as he contemplated the events at the Grage Family Estate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Word had already reached him about the confrontation, and despite the anger simmering within him, he found solace in the fact that Lowell hadn’t gone too far-he hadn’t killed Alnod Grage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Federation Head sighed deeply, leaning back in his chair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As much as he wanted to teach the Grage Family a lesson, the consequences of their complete destruction would ripple far beyond them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other families would grow anxious, fearful, and even paranoid, potentially destabilizing the entire power structure within the Federation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a move would only create more problems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Federation had no room for chaos, not now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After clearing his mind of these thoughts, he turned his attention to other pressing matters, confident that the Grage Family had been put in their place, for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, news of the Grage Family incident began to spread like wildfire through the other noble families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whispers filled the halls of mansions, and the story of Alnod Grage’s humiliation and near defeat at the hands of Lord Lowell reached every corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among those most affected was Simon Grage, who sat trembling in his room, his heart pounding with fear and anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weight of his actions had crashed down on him harder than he could have anticipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never in his wildest nightmares did he think his petty schemes against Zack Lockwood would lead to such devastation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had lost not only precious resources but also the respect of the Federation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And to make matters worse, his father, Alnod, had been physically attacked and humiliated in front of their own family members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shame gnawed at Simon, his face reddening with both fury and embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had always been the one bullying others, used to having his way and flaunting his power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, for the first time, he found himself utterly powerless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The humiliation was too much for him to bear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His resentment toward Zack Lockwood only grew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his mind, Zack was the cause of all this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for him, none of this would have happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as much as Simon wanted revenge, there was nothing he could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had crossed a line, and the Federation Head was furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even worse, none of the other families would dare come to their aid after witnessing the Federation’s wrath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly afterward, Simon made his way to his father’s study.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere in the Grage household was tense, as if the walls themselves were bracing for the fallout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alnod Grage sat behind his grand desk, his face pale but composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though his body had nearly recovered from the hidden injuries inflicted during the confrontation with Lowell, it had come at a steep price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Expensive resources had been used to accelerate his healing, and the thought of such a waste pained him deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resources that could have been used to strengthen their family’s position had now been squandered because of Simon’s careless behavior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Simon entered the room, Alnod looked up, his expression cold and detached.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The usual warmth he reserved for his son was nowhere to be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simon could feel the chill in the air as he stood awkwardly before his father, waiting for him to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Alnod said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His silence was louder than any words he could have uttered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone in the family knew what Simon had done-how he had operated under the very nose of the Federation Head, bringing disaster upon them all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, none of the Family Elders had come forward to question Alnod or to intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their silence spoke volumes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were complicit, quietly standing by their leader despite the shame brought upon the Grage name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was their way of showing solidarity with Alnod, reaffirming his authority within the family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His position was cemented, unshakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no siblings to challenge his leadership, and the internal politics that plagued other families didn’t touch him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even now, after all that had happened, his control over the Grage Family remained firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as Simon stood there, he couldn’t shake the feeling of being adrift.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His father’s coldness, the anger from the Federation, the growing tension between them and the other noble families-it all weighed on him like a leaden cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had stirred a hornet’s nest, and now, the sting of his actions had come back to haunt him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What brings you here, Simon?” Alnod asked, his voice laced with concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing his father’s question, Simon’s fists clenched, his knuckles turning white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes, usually a soft brown, flared red with anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions, but the rage was too palpable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Father, I want Zack Lockwood dead,” Simon said, his voice a cold, deadly whisper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alnod’s eyebrows shot up in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had expected his son to be shaken and fearful after the day’s events.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, Simon’s resolve seemed to have hardened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand your anger, Simon,” Alnod replied, his voice soothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But we must be cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We are already on the bad side of the Federation Head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If we were to act rashly against Lockwood, we would be inviting more trouble.” He paused, his gaze filled with a mix of worry and determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lowell McClain is also waiting for an opportunity to strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>We cannot afford to make any moves that would draw his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, we must bide our time and plan our next move carefully.” CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Creation is hard, cheer me
