The story starts in Chapter 66 of "Ancient Tears BloodLine": My lips curved a little, knowing that it's none other than Max Stewart. He told... Don’t miss it!

My lips curved a little, knowing that it's none other than Max Stewart. He told me earlier about this. I waste no time.I sat in upright position and started to go through his message. I gasped internally after knowing what it is. "CLASS 1 Monster Database" I commented in my heart. This fatty surely knows what I'm lacking. No wonder, with such information in their hands. It will become easy to hunt Class 1 Monster. This database includes library of Class 1 Monsters. It contains descriptions of more than 600 Class 1 Monster. Which further divided into several sub categories, including their pros and cons, location, eating, habitat, Selling Price etc..., Our training facility had only about 500 Class 1 Monster description. Which were stored in V.R database. Look like this information is Max Stewart's personal database. He frequently updates every new finding of class 1 Monster into his database. That's why his monster description rose up to 600 collection something. "Should I accept it or not?" I commented in my heart. It's will be quite useful during upcoming assignments. It's an important decision to make. As I was deep into my thinking. I was called by my family. It was dinner time. At the dining table, I asked, "Uncle James, Did you hear about upcoming auction?" Hearing my question, both of them looked at me strangely. "Where did you get this kind of information?" she added, "The auction is not open to public. Only selected members were allowed to bid during the auction." "Yeah, As Ms. Park said. This event is Mini auction. It is conducted for their own elite circle" Uncle James replied. Hearing both of their responses. A bad premonition rouse in my heart. "Damn it fatty, he is such a sly guy. When he said people will cause trouble for him. I had thought, maybe it's one or two." I commented in my heart. All the people were present there will be influential ones. It's good to talk with Uncle James and Granny. If I had to make enemy out of all those people, it would be troublesome. Should I ask more from fatty? "Compensation of Database is not enough." I commented in my heart. "Zack, You are into deep thinking again!" Granny reminded me. I put my spoon on the plate and looked at her. "I was invited by my senior to attend that Mini auction." I replied. Hearing that there is no change in expression on their face. Looks like Both of them expected it. "You won't bring the topic for discussion. Unless, it involves you." told granny with a smile. I smiled at her answer. "You don't have to worry about that, you can go and see for yourself. It's a good exposure for you." And he added, "Don't always think about consequences of your action; Sometimes, it's good to take risk." Uncle James explained to me. After few rounds of talk. Both of them convinced me. They too know that, I'm having concerns about assassin attempts. But, I can't hide away all the time. So, I decided to visit the event. But, before that my lips curved a little. "Fatty.. Fatty, this guy is rich one. I'm going to make him pay for my purchase." I commented in my heart. Later, I went to my room to get sleep. Next day, A train making it's journey towards Red Stone City. I am sure in an hour, the train will arrive at Red Stone City Station. I need to spend more time in training Sword Moves. So, that I can have some trump card to deal with tricky situations. I'm having steady progress at second move of the sword rune attack. I can maintain lightning sphere form for more than ten minutes. Hope, today I will get some further success. Soon, the train reaches the station. I exited the train and booked an air cab to training facility. On the way, I waste no time to watch the scenes of bustling city. Every day is noisy reminding me that, economy is really thriving here. Sometimes later, at the library. Yesterday, fatty send me details about database. Which had more than 600 class 1 Monster's description. I'm making sure that, count of library collection. Last time It was 500. I'm at VR Section, I wore the VR helmet and entered the Pod Chamber. I logged in my student I.D. Soon, I'm able to browse through all the details. "Yup, it's exact 500." I commented in my heart. It's like they divided purposely for student access. I don't know what kind of level, the office members had access to. After making sure. I exited the chamber and went to printed section to study some stuffs. Yesterday, I came across blood disorder. Which is no use to me at the end. Nonetheless, it's knowledge. So, I didn't stress about it. I continued my study on human skeletons. After, noon time. I exited the library. I am accessing my sci-fi to make a call. I want to talk to Max Stewart. Otherwise, he would be disturbing me at the middle of training. I made a successful call. We talked about meeting at Advance Class Discussion hall. Before, we get busy on training. "Zack, here!" shouted Max Stewart. He was standing at front door of the discussion hall. Seeing that, I walked towards him. "So, what's your choice?" Max asked me with shining hopeful eyes. Which looked weird to me by the way. Seeing that, I wanted to puke. But, I controlled myself. "Hmm, I wanted to help you. But, your database is not enough for me." I told him. Soon, his face turned normal. He is hesitant. I added, "The training facility had about 500 descriptions. On the other hand, yours only had 600. Do you think it's wise for me participate in that MINI AUCTION. I highlighted this word in stern tone to see his reaction. As expected, his eyes were wide opened. "How did you find out?" he asked me in utter disbelief. Then I explained him in details and told him that, I asked administration. I lied about it. It's because, I don't trust him. Even though he is my senior. It's good to be cautious. Hearing my argument. He remained silent. I didn't disturb him. I want to reach good deal with him. After some deep thinking, Max Stewart asked, "What do you want?" Then I told him to buy me something in auction. He didn't get convinced. After some argument. We reached an agreement. Max Stewart said, "If there is an item shows up at auction and No one shows interest in it. I will buy it for you." "Then, it's a deal!" I told him and asked, "When it will be ?" "It's coming weekend and by the way it's a one day event." Replied Max Stewart. I moved my eyebrows in surprise. "Then, What about the Assignment?" Then I have to finish it in one day. Hearing that, I can see Max is getting anger. "What happened?" I asked him. "You can't even a kill Pseudo Monster in one day time." Max Stewart replied. I just smiled to his question. I don't know how to reply it. We shook our hands and talked about few things and then we went to our separate training rooms. On the way to gravity chamber. I thought, it's a good deal. I can't expect him to bid for expensive items and buy for me. On the other hand, If there is an item not favoured by anyone. It can be auctioned at base price. I had a small smile realizing that, I enter gravity room. Where I went to level 2 training room as usual. I set up an timer for 30 minutes. I sat in mediate position. Under this gravity I'm a going to train my lightning control. Which is helpful for my 2nd form of Sword attack. The gravity started to exert huge pressure on me. As long as my lightning energy is densely arranged. It can withstand the downward pressure. But it takes lot of time and energy to do that. It's takes 30 minutes to form lightning sphere shape on my palms. Time went by small sweat beads started to appear in my face. My face is red. Like someone placed me on top of hot boiling pot. After 30 minutes, the gravity is turned off. A small thunderous sound ran inside gravity chamber. It was due to appearance of lightning sphere on both of my palms. If one looked at closely. They will find there were little sparks on top of the sphere. And the lightning energy is densely packed. Seeing, my lightning sphere. There's sense of satisfaction in my heart. I want to move onto next sword move. That's charging. But, I decided to wait for one week. I wanted to reach perfection. Even it's not possible. I want to reach somewhere close to it. Once again looking at the lightning. I want to test its destruction range. So, far I'm able to make two lightning sphere without any help of techniques. It's based on control principle.
