and made the call to Teacher Lowell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I listened to the ringing tone, I felt the familiar stir of nerves in my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the line connected, and the sound of his voice came through, steady and reassuring as ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack, what happened?” he asked, a tone of concern coloring his words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A smile tugged at my lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice had that effect on me-grounding and steadying my thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I began to explain slowly, recounting the events that had brought me to this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As I spoke, I could almost hear the gears turning in his mind, processing every detail with that sharp intellect of his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes passed before the silence was broken by the unmistakable sound of his laughter-rich, full, and full of joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha…Ha…Ha!” His laughter echoed through the line, and I couldn’t help but feel a weight lift from my shoulders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zack,” he began, his voice softening with nostalgia, “when I first saw you in that remote town, that barren outpost on the edge of nowhere, I knew you weren’t just another frog in a well.” His words took me back to that fateful day-when I was just a boy with big dreams trapped in a forgotten corner of the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not only have you come out of that outer post, but now you’re headed to a Tier-4 region from the inner post.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one has made a leap like this in recent history,” he continued, his voice growing more contemplative as old memories resurfaced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt a surge of pride and gratitude well up inside me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have made it this far,” I said, my voice quiet but sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And I meant it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes, I had acquired the ancient blood drop, a priceless gift that changed the course of my life before meeting the Teacher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But none of that would’ve mattered if I hadn’t left the outer post and pursued strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher Lowell had paved the way for me, making my journey that much more bearable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had also come to understand the power of having someone strong in your corner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I learned that when those two envoys from Star University offered me an opportunity I never dreamed of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, you deserve it,” Teacher Lowell replied, his tone warm with approval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A rare triple-element warrior like you is bound to attract attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s only reasonable.” He paused briefly before adding, “And don’t concern yourself with the Blood Shadow Force, Giant Tower Academy, or Eclipse Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They won’t be a problem.” His words gave me a sense of security.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those organizations had crossed my mind more than once, and knowing he had faith in my safety eased my worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When are you leaving?” he asked, shifting the conversation to logistics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Most likely today,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Head is gathering all 300 selected warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once everyone’s here, we’ll be on our way.” “Alright,” he said after a moment of thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Jonathan and I will be there shortly.” Before I could respond, the call ended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was always a man of action, wasting no time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I could picture him already on the move, determined to see me off before my journey to Star University began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I hadn’t expected the envoys to leave so soon, but in a way, it felt right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The future was calling, and it wouldn’t wait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, across the vast and sprawling Federation, a ripple of tension surged through the Families, Clans, and organizations under its banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The source?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief yet powerful message from the Federation Head, Ben.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were simple but carried immense weight: those selected from their ranks must appear at the Federation Headquarters immediately, or they would miss the rare opportunity to enter the coveted Tier-4 region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the kind of message that sent shockwaves through the upper echelons of power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the entire inner post region was thrown into a state of high alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Conversations halted, and plans were disrupted as the implications of the message settled in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The forces from the Tier-4 region were no longer just rumors or distant figures of power-they were here, walking among them, making visits to organizations directly connected to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the infamous Bloodline Clans, with their ancient legacies, to the formidable Academy Institutions, who held sway over generations of warriors, everyone had the same goal: ensure that their best and brightest warriors earned a place within these Tier-4 forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The stakes had never been higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The prestige and influence that came with such a placement could shape the future of an entire family or clan for generations to come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these organizations, the urgency of the message from Federation Head Ben could not be understated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within moments of receiving it, warriors whose names appeared on the sacred name list were summoned with haste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were not just ordinary individuals-they were the cream of the crop, chosen for their exceptional skills and potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The families wasted no time, dispatching them with the swiftness of a well-oiled machine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the Federation Headquarters, the air was thick with anticipation as warriors began to arrive one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Teleportation Platforms, connected to major cities and the homes of the most powerful families, hummed with activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, the selected warriors materialized within the grand hall, their expressions a mixture of excitement and determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each arrival represented another piece of the puzzle, another contender for the highly sought-after positions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the minutes ticked by, the Headquarters steadily filled with the presence of these warriors, ready to make their mark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere was electric-whispers of speculation filled the halls as the warriors sized each other up, mentally preparing themselves for the journey ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew this was more than just a call to arms-it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ascend beyond the limitations of the inner post and claim a place in the powerful Tier-4 region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And for those who failed to appear in time?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They would be left behind, watching as the future unfolded without them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Blood Shadow Force, a fearsome organization feared across the inner post, was being visited by the envoys from Dark Shadow University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was no ordinary institution-it was one of the six prestigious universities in the Tier-4 region, known for producing warriors of unparalleled strength and cunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though its official name was Dark Shadow University, most referred to it as Blood Shadow University, and for good reason.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Shadow Force was merely an extension of the university’s infamous reputation, acting as its lethal branch, specialized in assassination, combat, and merciless discipline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The distinction between names didn’t matter to the other forces-whether you called it Dark Shadow or Blood Shadow, the university was known for one thing above all: its ruthlessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mere mention of its name sent chills through even the most hardened warriors, as it was synonymous with killing and survival of the fittest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, its envoys were here, scrutinizing the Blood Shadow Force’s talent with cold, calculating eyes, searching for candidates worthy of ascending to the Tier-4 region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the activity, Rupert, the leader of the Blood Shadow Force, stood in silent contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t focused on the inspections, not entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His mind was elsewhere, consumed by thoughts of a particular name: Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rupert had been keeping an eye on Zack for some time now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kid’s potential was undeniable-rare even among the most elite warriors under the Federation’s banner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Rupert knew better than anyone how quickly raw talent could turn into a powerful threat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Word had reached him that envoys from Star University, another Tier-4 powerhouse, had also visited the Federation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This news gnawed at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star University was no ordinary institution-it was the pinnacle of education, attracting the most talented warriors from every corner of the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zack Lockwood were to catch their eye, there would be no stopping his rise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star University’s resources, training, and knowledge would sharpen Zack into a force Rupert wouldn’t be able to contend with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clenched his fists at the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There had been plans-silent, subtle ones-to eventually target Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To eliminate him before he grew into a problem that the Blood Shadow Force couldn’t handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zack secured a place within Star University, all of Rupert’s ambitions would fall apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The kid would be untouchable, protected by one of the most powerful institutions in the Tier-4 region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rupert’s mind raced with possibilities, but deep down, he knew that if Zack made it to Star University, it was over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have to let go of any notions of controlling or eliminating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The shadowy world of the Blood Shadow Force thrived on fear and dominance, but even they knew their limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if Zack Lockwood became a part of Star University, he would be beyond theirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Torn between duty and skepticism, Rupert pondered whether to inform envoys about Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d previously sent intel, but their past disregard for inner post region’s talents made him doubt their response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His personal journey, however, had led to a newfound respect for Zack’s abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Creation is hard, cheer me up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>VOTE for
