mid-air, the two warriors approached with deliberate steps, their presence demanding attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I glanced down at them, my body still suspended above the ground as the wind gently tugged at my cloak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first warrior, sharp-featured with a nose that could probably cut glass, fixed me with a piercing gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you Zack Lockwood?” His voice was clipped, every syllable sharp, as if it could slice through the tension in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remained unfazed, meeting his gaze with an unblinking calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” I responded, my voice steady, betraying nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want?” My tone was solemn, but my eyes never left theirs, scanning for any hidden intention beneath their postures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second warrior, a hulking figure with arms like tree trunks and a barrel chest, let out a deep, booming laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound echoed through the clearing, though it didn’t faze me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ha…” he chuckled, the sound dripping with arrogance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s good to hear,” he rumbled, his grin widening as if they had won some unspoken victory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, you can come with us.” I stood there, motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My expression remained blank, unimpressed by their feigned confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way they spoke, the sheer arrogance, was laughable in itself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Did they really think I would just comply?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These fools clearly had no idea who they were dealing with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, I turned my back on them and started to fly past, my body gliding effortlessly through the air as if they were no more than obstacles in my path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shock on their faces was almost palpable, their eyes wide with disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They hadn’t expected that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had ever dared to ignore them before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The audacity was enough to momentarily silence even the loudest thoughts in their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As my figure began to grow smaller in the distance, their stunned expressions melted into fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who does he think he is?” the sharp-nosed warrior spat, his voice cold with hostility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands clenched into fists, the veins bulging from his arms in a futile show of strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Arrogant brat!” the bulky warrior snarled, his once mocking demeanor now twisted into rage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His heavy frame shifted as if ready to charge after me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I didn’t look back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their anger was insignificant, like the wind rustling leaves beneath me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Follow him!” the sharp-nosed one barked at their comrades, his voice strained with fury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t let him out of your sight!” Their entire hunting team, scattered around the area, seemed just as shocked by my indifference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A murmur spread through the group, their eyes tracking my every movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their pride had been bruised, and in their world, that demanded retribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I kept flying, unconcerned, knowing that if they truly tried to stop me, they would regret ever crossing my path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I soared through the sky, the rush of wind against my face sharpened my focus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing over my shoulder, I caught sight of the hunting team still trailing behind me, their persistence relentless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My eyes narrowed, a cold glint flashing as a surge of irritation flickered through me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were too slow, too predictable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, I pushed myself faster, my body cutting through the air like an arrow released from a bow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The landscape beneath me blurred, but I could hear the faint stir of commotion behind as the hunting team scrambled to keep up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their sudden acceleration didn’t go unnoticed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Other nearby hunting teams, sensing the unusual chase, turned their heads.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their curious gazes tracked the movement, anticipating some sort of conflict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was there a skirmish breaking out between factions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But soon, their confusion gave way to understanding as they saw the hunters were all focused on a lone figure – me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same figure who had passed by them earlier without a second glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple of interest spread through the bystanders, like a wave across the open skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could cause this pursuit?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who was bold enough, or foolish enough, to have provoked a hunting team?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes passed like fleeting shadows as I pushed on, my speed unmatched by the warriors behind me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the looming walls of Alpha City appeared on the horizon, their familiar silhouette offering a sense of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The city’s protective rules were absolute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one dared to commit violence within its borders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, I was untouchable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The towering gates of the city drew closer, and I allowed a small breath to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was safe for now, but I had no plans to linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I wasn’t simply fleeing the hunters behind me; there were larger forces at play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Vulture Gang was a looming threat, one whose attention I could ill afford.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn’t be long before they caught wind of what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before they could make a move, I needed to reach the headquarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the only place where I could regroup, plan, and assess my next steps.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind me, I could feel the hunters slowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sight of Alpha City, with its strict regulations, drained the fight from their efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their lead warrior, the one with cold hostility etched across his face, looked particularly frustrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could sense the waves of disappointment rolling off him even from this distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had wanted more than a chase.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He craved conflict, a chance to stir trouble, likely hoping to curry favor with the gang backing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gang tied to the Federation’s core members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was nothing more than a puppet, a pawn in their larger games.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, he had nothing to show for his efforts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His shoulders slumped as he gestured for the others to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no point in continuing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had reached Alpha City, and any further action on their part would break the city’s rules – an offense that carried harsh consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hostile warrior shook his head in frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His plan had crumbled before his eyes, and there was only one option left for him now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would inform his masters, the gang who had sent him, and await further orders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, all he could do was watch as I disappeared into the distance, beyond his reach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, what happened?” I muttered under my breath, my voice barely audible above the rush of wind as I glanced back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hunting team had stopped following me, their pursuit ending just before reaching the city gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flicker of confusion crossed my mind, but it didn’t linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They knew better than to cause trouble this close to Alpha City’s borders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before entering the city, I landed gracefully just in front of the towering gate, the heavy stone arch casting a long shadow over the bustling streets beyond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a subtle adjustment to my cloak, I walked forward, blending seamlessly into the throngs of people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets were alive with movement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Groups of warriors, their armor clinking faintly with each step, moved in tight formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hunting teams filled every corner of the marketplace, their banners fluttering as they weaved through the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sharp glances exchanged between rival teams were barely concealed beneath their surface-level civility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I walked, I couldn’t help but think of the powerful gangs that operated behind the scenes, the real forces controlling these teams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each faction had its influence, each gang its own set of warriors ready to do their bidding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My thoughts wandered to Teacher Lowell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had once commanded his own hunting team, a formidable force that had carved out a reputation across the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was before it all crumbled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His team had been abandoned, left in the dust because of the members’ failures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a reminder that strength alone wasn’t enough – loyalty and trust played an equally crucial role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sighed internally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher Lowell deserved better,” I thought, the memories of his stories echoing in my mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I moved through the busy streets, the idea of forming my own team tugged at me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was tempting – to have a unit loyal to me, with whom I could share victory and power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But I knew better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My strength was nowhere near enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a world ruled by rank, I was still at the bottom, barely scraping by.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The notion of leading a team was nothing more than a distant dream for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I would need to ascend to SSS-ELITE Rank before I could even entertain such thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At my current level, it was laughable to imagine commanding anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air hummed with activity as I passed rows of vendors shouting about their wares, while warriors haggled over equipment upgrades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the vibrant energy, I remained focused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had to keep my head low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last thing I needed was to draw attention to myself, especially with the Vulture Gang possibly sniffing around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind me, the hunting team finally entered the city, their heavy footsteps echoing faintly as they passed through the gates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though they had halted their chase, they couldn’t resist glancing in my direction, their eyes cold with frustration.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But their leader, the hostile warrior, seemed resigned now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His earlier ambitions of causing trouble had been thwarted by the city’s strict rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a word, they turned on their heels and made their way back to their hideout, their plan having collapsed the moment I crossed the boundary of Alpha City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, I was safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this wouldn’t be the last time we crossed paths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was certain of that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Creation is hard, cheer me up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>VOTE
