Chapter 16 - The Training (Part-8)

I headed to my room tired mentally and injured physically. What did that bastard mean in that fight. It's for sure he was in the team of princess or else he wouldn't have the attacks to counter mine ready before the match. He said princess and I are interconnected in some way. We will see about that later on, for now Let's just continue with the last stretch of the training and then we will uncover the dark secrets of this empire.

"Hey dumbass" said someone standing behind me.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Ava told me to meet you,I am Gray" said the guy.

"why are you here" I asked exhausted, just wanting to go to my room.

"I am the new lion in your team."He said.

"Oh, Hello I am Zack, I am the captain of the team." I said.

"Yes, the only Dragon in our batch, if we exclude the others that came in when our training started."

Wait if Isaac hasn't seen Noel in his life then that means, He isn't from Isaac's batch and if that's true, then how was he in Princesses's team. If we were to take presumptions then the list was tampered with on someone's order. There is nothing else that's popping up in my brain. I need to meet someone who might help me.

"Yeah, so register yourself and meet us tomorrow at cafeteria, I will ask you other questions there you must be tired right now"

"Sure as you say" he said this and then registered himself.

"See you later then"I said.

"UH-HUH" and he left.

I need to go to Jack and ask him about this.

"Hello Young man." Jack said appearing behind me.

"Oh, Hi Sir i was just thinking about you."

"Why is that I wonder, Sir, but please let's go in your room first you must be tired from the duels that took place today." Jack said supporting me as I was about to fall.

"Thank you" and we went into my room. "SIr, i wanted to ask you something if you don't mind."

"Oh but first you have to listen to my proposal first and then i will answer the question's you harbour." He said smiling.

"Zack listen to the proposal" Lillian's voice rumbled in my head.

"Okay i will" I said.

"So, I have been watching you train the whole time and it has been a thrilling time seeing you get stronger and then get betrayed in the process, and sir i will like to train you in the proficient use of dragon energy."he said.

"Zack, there is something off about this guy he is from the wolf family but, due to some reasons he also has dagon energy flowing through him, it's like that guy Noel's energy" LIllian said. That means he should have eaten a dragon heart.

"There are many ways to utilize dragon energy young man, eating dragon heart is only one of many methods not to mention evil method." he said.

"How did you- You know what i am finished with the fenrir family and I only trust ava from you guy's family, so it will be better if you went away." I said.

"Are you sure Young man, don't let the Past shackel your future." Jack said smiling.

"Boy, Accept the man's offer" The mysterious voice of the other creature said to me again.

"Fine, I will accept your offer but you have to tell me the complete truth about the thing I will ask you."

"I will but, after you complete your training tho, it will be as long as the last stretch of the workshop training and in the morning's." He said.

The next morning I met Jack in the dragon in front of The waterfall.

"But I have already mastered the Manual Given to me by Susie." I said.

"That's the first stage, after this you have to enter the second stage of the mastering of the dragon arts, which is the intermediate stage and for that you will have to strengthen your body, And that is why you will sit under this waterfall until you are able to sustain the pressure of waterfall without using your dragon energy, to regulate your Dragon Energy I have this device." He said pulling out a dial and attaching it on my left side of the chest on my heart.

I felt the strength in my body leaving me, then Jack ordered me to enter in the waterfall. I could feel the massive pressure of the waterfall even when i used the Dragon energy, it was crushing me but I had to endure this so that I can uncover my past and the connection of princess to it.

"Good, now you can come out" Jack said,"You survived the first day without collapsing." after two hours at 0600 hrs.

"uh-huh" i struggled out of the waterfall, "Why are you helping me.?"

"Zack, you should know this too that only powerful people have the right to information even if it's regarding themselves so, I will tell you what, if yo secure first place in the second part of training then i will tell you." He said bidding me farewell.

I went to the cafeteria where I saw Princess and Noel on one table with two other people, then i saw May, Lee and if I could believe what i saw it was Noah, i guess Joel was the one who threatened him.

"Hey Ava" I said.

"Hello, so you met the new recruit." She asked me.

"Yes, He was quite fine" I said when Ava suddenly saw someone by the buffet.

"Listen, Zack I know that princess betrayed you and charlotte reminds you of that, but please just talk to her normally she is also a victim, she also left her team so that princess could join that team, please talk to her instead of ignoring her." Ava said.

"Hey people, Hey captain" Charlotte said sitting down beside Ava.

"Hello" I said managing to smile, even tho every word in that sentence reminded me of elaine.

Then Gray came and sat down beside me but as soon as he sat he went to sleep as if he wasn't allowed to sleep for years. After a while when everyone was there the creator came out.
