Chapter 46 of "Ancient Tears BloodLine" unveils a new twist: "Marcus Moore do you want to get thrown out of the academy." roared Ms Adeline... See what happens!

"Marcus Moore do you want to get thrown out of the academy." roared Ms Adeline Key. Hearing that Marcus shuddered. He quickly got up from the ground. Did not utter any words and He stood there quietly. "Zack, Maria and Candace, you guys come with me. The rest of you wait for me here," said Ms Adeline Key. Hearing that we followed her. Ms Adeline Key lead us to the new training room. Where the seniors were training. As we entered the room. I was surprised. There was no open practice room. There were several chambers in size of a small room that was built inside the training room. Ms Adeline Key said, " These high-performance chambers will be your training room until you graduate from the centre; They were specifically made to protect your privacy" She further added, "Most of the Chambers occupied by senior students. The last few were unoccupied. They were allocated to you." She pointed to the last three chambers. And gave us a new I.D for chambers. The Chamber's A. I am already registered with our information. We have to scan and enter the chamber. Ms Adeline Key said, "There is a New Combat Exercise course you have to learn. Before, learning the Main course of the Advance class." Then she added " I will evaluate three of you. Based on the performance of Combat Exercise. I will let you join the Senior class." Hearing that Maria furrowed her eyebrows. She asked, "Why mentor we already passed the qualification test. Ms key explained, " The senior students are older than you. And they know more than you including this combat exercise. Which is base for the Main course." After her explanation everyone understood. Then she left us saying she is going to practice. Not only students but mentors were also got their training chambers. They only help us clear our doubts. When we ask them. They don't follow you all day and night. Seeing her leaving Candace said, "Okay guys. Let us see who can learn faster. I believe we will join our senior students rather soon." Maria also chirped in "Zack, I don't know how did you pass. But I believe you got some basic strengths. But that won't help you when you meet senior students." Hearing them I was surprised. I want to reply but they enter the chamber without waiting for my answer. I shook my head. Went up to the chamber's monitor and scanned my details. The door opened. I enter the chamber. A sense of freshness wash over me. I can feel the concentration of world energy is a little higher inside the chamber. I looked around. Found the place is very simple inside. There is no extra space here. I wondered. It doesn't make any. When I looked from outside the chamber looked rather larger but looking at inside. The space is very narrow. It's enough for one person to train and practise here. If you want to rest. You can sleep on the ground. Then I focussed on the new combat course she gave me. I opened my sci-fi watch to browse the course. I started to read one by one. Soon a look of understanding appeared on my face. I mumbled, "This is a Complex set of fighting techniques. Execute using our elemental power." Unlike other times. There is no rune formed inside my sphere. Because this hand to hand combat techniques. Commonly available to all the people. Once they have enough Cultivation Rank and Credit points. After going through all these. I started to practise these forms the key lies in how to use your elemental energy effectively. As Zack was practising. Somewhere far away from this place. An important meeting is going on. Six people having round table conference in a secret room One of the people said, "Mr Raymond dale. As you said we got our kill list and we also collected bounty amounts that were paid by these respective organisations." Another bald man snorted him, "Why do we need a kill list to kill these rats from lower-level Tier-8 cities; Shouldn't we direct our force to kill our competitor's assets in another Tier-7 city". The rest of them supported the bald man argument. But Mr Raymond Dale. As he raised his aura all of them got suppressed. Mr Raymond said, "I know all of you are not satisfied with the kill list. Most of the Seeds mentioned in the kill list were from lower Tier-8 cities ( There is a trace of annoyance in his tone. When he mentioned Tier-8 cities)." Then he added, "Remember, This Kill list was given by our clients. And all of you very well know that. Our clients are not from Tier-8 cities. So, you should do what is instructed." Hearing that all of them became silent. They knew how powerful their clients were. They can't waste their time hunting rats in lower-tier cities. That is why they use us as a proxy to kill their targets. After some conversation, all of them left. Mr Raymond summoned one of his men. Soon a Man came wearing a long black coat. He covered his face with a black mask. He handed the kill list to the masked man and asked him to finish the assignment sooner. The masked man received the kill list and left the place. After receiving the kill list. He came to his room to pack things. He has been instructed to depart right away. Sometimes later the Masked man finished his task. He opens the folder in his sci-fi watch. He was looking at the immediate black star targets to kill. There were several names in the list that were tagged with a black star. There was one name mentioned. Where he focussed his attention. The name is Michelle Dyer. "Name: Michelle Dyer" "Rank: Mid-level Trainee Apprentice Warrior" "Element awakened: Special Element – Healing" "Threat level: Black" "Affiliation: Merchant Union" After looking at the details. He decided on his first target. Then he goes through other targets starting from Rank high Black level to Rank low yellow level. If Zack was present here. He can see his name on the kill list. It was mentioned as "Name: Zack Lockwood" "Rank: Not Awakened" "Element awakened: None" "Threat level: Yellow" "Affiliation: ARMY Federation" Meanwhile, Somewhere in a real faraway distance. Zack's teacher Sir Lowell McClain reading Intel in his cabin. He smiled looking at the details. He mumbled, "looks like those clowns started their hunting game." He also noted details regarding Zack. There is a high chance for Zack's name to be named in the kill list. Because of his affiliation with ARMY Federation. Sir Lowell McClain seeing that he said in his heart, "I'm interested in looking at his performance. New Seed Lightning User of Army Federation; There is no problem with his safety. My men already got an eye on him." Then suddenly aura around his room turned hot. He said to himself, "But we have to teach some lessons to these clowns. To stretch their damned clutches towards ARMY." He smiled he already formed a deadly plan in his mind. Next time, If anyone thinks once or twice before they include the name of Seed Candidates who got affiliation towards ARMY Federation. Then he instructs his men on the ground to teach a lesson to underlings of these clowns. Meanwhile, Zack practising in his secret chamber. There was sweat all over his body. I began to think this technique is not simple as it seems. At first, I'm not happy with this hand to hand combat technique. I thought what is the use of this technique. Who is going to fight Class 1 Monster with hand to hand combat? But lately, I realized humans can also be my enemies. It will come in handy. While assassination. You can kill your enemy without knowing alerting him. I shuddered thinking that the human heart is so cruel. No wonder, They teach this combat technique to all people of the society. I removed the negatives thoughts from my mind quickly. I continued my practice again. while practising the technique. I can feel a thin strand of lightning energy channelling through my vein as I followed a specific move. Soon it's time to leave home. Today my entire time was spent getting familiarise myself with new moves. I Packed my things and exited the chamber. The door was automatically closed behind me. I saw nearby chambers they were still closed. Looks like these girls still practising. I left the room and caught up with the lift. When I was leaving the Reception Hall. I was greeted by some stranger. "Hi, My name is Arthur Emerson. I believe James already told you about me." Hearing that I was surprised, this was the first time. I met him in person. I have never seen him before ever since I joined the academy. "Hi, Sir Arthur. Uncle James informed me about you." "Let's go to my cabin. I want to tell you something," he replied. Hearing that I don't know what to do. There is half an hour left for my train to reach the station. He seems to be understood my thoughts. "It won't take more than five minutes" He uttered. I nodded at him He took me to his cabin.. After reaching his cabin both of us started our discussions.
