This modern-day weaponry is sold for absurdly high prices. If it hadn't been for the fact that I confronted him this time. I never expected to see someone like him train at our facility. Since then, they've let us utilize any tactic we wanted. That is why he is displaying his trump card. In my head, I reasoned. Seeing Zack successfully remain unscathed. Daniel was stunned. Then, he smirked and said, "You got some skill. Let's see how many times you jump around" He said with a smile. Then he made a quick calculation and aimed precisely. "Bang" "bang" "bang" Several rounds of shots were fired. His hand gun's barrel is smoking with continuous firing. Seeing that, Daniel Frowned a little. He knows the limitations of Modern-day weapons. He cannot fire continuously. It needs cool-down time. Normally, while powering the weapon with the element energy. It causes a rise in temperature. Which needs cool-down time to function efficiently. Especially, he is a fire element user. It limits him even further. I saw him firing more shots at me. Thankfully, I got this perpetual ability. Otherwise, it will become really hard to predict the trajectory. With my perception, I carefully evaded all the attacks one by one. My perception gave me some cushion time to adjust myself. All energy bullets hit empty air. While in the process, I also felt he was on the Peak level. Seeing Zack jumping around and successfully evading these attacks. "This…" he muttered. He is surprised by Zack's ability. He couldn't help frown, thinking that. "What's his level?" Daniel uttered. He is musing about it. Because he needs to maintain the cooldown time. Which needs at least ten minutes. Gladly, he has another handgun. This time he decides to wait for Zack to make his move. After evading those attacks. I took a moment to catch a breath. Seeing he stopped using his attacks. "I need to make my move," I said to myself. I can somewhat guess. Why he is stopped. Either his energy is draining much faster or there is something to do with his energy handgun. I'm having different thoughts, I don't want to get too much closer. Even with perception. It will become too difficult to escape then. Having kept that in my mind. I made my mind to be defensive for the time being. When the time is right, I will strike him. … Outside, Students are murmuring among themselves. It's almost ten minutes. But, there is no sound so far. Though it's just ten minutes. But, fellow students were still surprised. They initially thought Zack wouldn't hold on for a minute. But, now seeing the time. They couldn't help it. "Interesting" Luke muttered. He is among those groups of students who waiting for results. "Daniel is not a pushover. Why is he taking so much time?" Luke commented in his mind since it's impossible to know what's happening inside. He decides to wait further. … At the top floor of the building, "What's going on?" Elder Jensen uttered. He is in disbelief looking at the monitor screen. "Still no results" He commented in his mind. At first, he changed the rules. So, that his grandson won't face Zack first. After knowing about Daniel Haynes. He believed Zack got no chance. Because Daniel is an older student at the Hansen Training Centre. He must be like his Grandson. At this moment, elder Thornton chipped in "He is a good seed." He said with a smile. "Humph" Said Elder Jensen. "We didn't know whether he is begging for life or not" Elder Jensen said in a sarcastic tone. To that Elder, Thornton didn't reply. Even though, He like Zack. But, he didn't know about his ability. So, it's very hard to defend him in front of Elder Jensen. He immediately changes the topic by asking, "So, What happened to your grandson? I thought he would call you sooner. Seeing that you changed the rules. "He said with a smile. Hearing that, a smile disappeared from Elder Jensen's face. "I haven't attended his call. I'll talk to him later," he replied. Then, they continued their banter. … Mr. Arthur Emerson asked, "What do you think?" He turned towards Ms. Key for her response. Ms. Adeline looks at the Monitor Screen she said, "It's hard to tell. I still believe Zack is not serious about the life or death duel." Then she added," I don't know, where his confidence comes from. All his opponents were older than him. They have some experience than him" Mr. Arthur Emerson let out a sigh. He said, " told him that I will give him healing pill. " he added," There is only 20% chance for his winning" "Yeah, nobody expected Senior Students of our Training Centre to enroll for this duel. Especially, Elder Jensen's Grandson" she said with a dejection. "Don't worry, Zack is smart. He just has to use his intelligence. Then he will be fine." Mr. Arthur assures her. ... On the other hand, Philip Jensen is constantly calling his Grandpa. "Old Grandpa deceived me again" He uttered. He is currently in his training room. From time to time he looks at his sci-fi wristwatch for any updates. He is surprised about the timing. "The battle is still going on." He commented in his mind. ... Like that, everyone is interested in this duel. Especially, Zack's classmates. Including, Maria Frazier, Ina Walker, Andrea Kramer, and Steven Conway. All were talking in the discussion hall. Andrea looks at Maira. She has doubts in her mind. She doesn't know whether it's appropriate to ask. Because they weren't that close. But, her expression is seen by Ina. Ina asked her. Andrea told her doubts. Ina said, " Maria, Where is your friend Candace? Today is an important match for your friend. But, she is nowhere to see." Hearing her question. Maria doesn't know what to say. Even she is clueless about it. So, simply said, "She went, to visit her family. She will be back soon." Hearing Maria's answer, they didn't continue to ask about her. But, Maria has different thoughts in her mind. On the other hand, she is nervous about the match.. Also worried about Candace.
