Here is Chapter 31 of "Ancient Tears BloodLine": I felt ominous. As I move forward I got hit by a laser beam. The... Don’t miss it!

I felt ominous. As I move forward I got hit by a laser beam. The first step gives me enough time to think and evade the laser beam but as I move forward the frequency of the laser beam attack is increased. I had to restart. The only way to solve this is to move faster from the beginning. As I tried again and again in the end I failed to pass through. I need to come with a better plan tomorrow. I said to myself. Then I left the facility to return home. Some hours later in Zack's room. Zack was lying comfortably in his bed. He was operating his holowatch to check today's stats. He had earlier downloaded the stats from the artificial chamber's A.I. He was going through how many times he attempted the laser beam test. After checking the stats he closed his eyes tries to visualize the strategy that he is going to do tomorrow. Zack slept unknowingly. Earlier in the morning, Zack woke up he had a good bath. Got out of the shower. Zack wore his dress. Which is ironed perfectly. He wore his Red T-shirt and Black Jacket on top of it. Then he wore black his black cargo pant. Finally had a finishing touch by wearing red fingerless gloves and red sneakers. Zack got up and looked at the mirror. He had black hair grown up to the shoulder. He never took a haircut for the past month. But it looked quite good on him. So he left it as it is. His green shining eyes look attractive on him with perfect eyebrows. Zack smirked with confidence. It always feels good to wear a nice dress which is your favourite. Zack said to himself. After that, he had breakfast with Granny. Uncle James as usual busy with his mission. Recently I have been learning a lot of stuff from Granny. She is well into gardening had good knowledge about plants. I heard from granny it's good to know about plants even it's the bare minimum. Zack took his usual route towards the HANSEN TRAINING FACILITY. After arriving at the station in Red Stone City. He continued his schedule with the usual sword training with his Mentor and indulge in his separate training then. Zack is in his separate training room. It's been one week since I had passed the laser test. The next one is the combat test. I had to attack the dummies with sword moves. Even though it's a wooden sword. The dummies were a little special. It's an A. I programmed once I executed a good move it will become defenceless. Then the dummy will stop his attack towards the opponent. Battling with a dummy with a wooden sword is childish. But I had no choice but to get familiar with the fighting itself. It is not entertainment in future I will have to participate in many battles. So now I'm just laying the perfect building blocks for my basement. As he readied his thoughts, Zack activates the next phase of the test on A. I screen. The test time is 15 minutes. Soon a Battle dummy came upward from the ground. It is covered with armour but its armour is made up of a leather dress. I can see small spots flickering with red light inside somewhat transparent leather. I believe the leather is made with special material to take the blow of the wooden sword. And flickering lights were sensors to calculate the stats. I analysed it for a moment. Then I move towards the dummy. I noticed something on the A. I screen it said it is level one. I don't know what it is guess I will try it out. I started to attack with a wooden sword. First I just made a common swing at the dummies chest. The tip of the wooden sword reaches the dummy. A surprise glint appeared in my eyes. The dummy not only evaded but deflected my attack with its wooden sword. This technology is something. As I tried to attack the dummy as time went on. The stats were collected by sensors and then sends to the A. I chamber's server. Sometimes later I eventually landed a hit on its chest. It failed to evade my attack. A.I.of the chamber notified me that I passed level one. I felt happiness in my heart witnessing my progress. I love this kind of challenge. And feel the feeling like this further. As level 2 is started. I got perplexed in a moment because this time the attack was initiated by the dummy. soon I was put in a defensive mode. The next day as time went on I moved from defensive to offensive. I started to get familiarise with my shortcomings. Soon the level 2 was breached. I got drenched in sweat. For the next few days, I continued my training on level 3. Level 3 is challenging. it's related to the speed of the attack and defensive. I need to be very quick in my body movements. To pass this challenge. But Eventually, I even passed level three. Hereby completing all the tests in A. I chamber. But over the days I entered the test once again. To, gain good improvement in my stats. Days went by just like that. Zack felt confident with his strength. He had good control over his strength over the days, He has not reached the perfection level yet. Soon the end of the month has come. It's been 29 days since Zack joined this facility. It's a good centre. I had mastered three attack moves and several sword stances. The only downside of this matter it's not a real sword. But a wooden sword. And I'm restricted from using the lightning moves. How cool it would be once I use a lightning attack with white bone. I cannot wait to join the Academy. I have been avoiding this Marcus Moore as plague. Ever since I came here. It's a good thing is that both Candace and Frazier lost interest in me. As Zack was immersed in his thoughts he stepped his foot towards the training room. He was greeted by his classmates they nodded towards him. He too responded. Ms Adeline Key came a few seconds later. She looked at all the people one by one and then She said.. "It's been one month since the training has started; I believe you guys have gone familiar with the courses and training".
