One and half-day had passed, and I am breaking the last plant in the seventh herb hall; usually, it takes me more than that, but usually, I find five to fifteen protected plants in each her hall I enter, not one to two which I am finding these herb halls.

  Finding the three protected plants in the first herb hall was my luck, as in the other six herb halls, I did not find more than two.

  Dhub!

  The formation collapsed few seconds after I projected my runes on it. I looked at the precious herb; this one is very good. Consumption of this herb would be extremely painful, but it would help raise one's innate potential and break the boundaries.

  A perfect herb for one to break the boundaries of the elite stage.

  Ice Dome!

  I activated the ice dome, so if someone tried something, I would get the forewarning. Even if I have friends protecting me, I still need a forewarning seeing the number of people watching me.

  The harvesting process was quite complicated, and I needed about seventeen minutes to harvest the herb and store it into the crystal box safely.

  "Here, take it; it will be very helpful to breaking through your current stage," I said as I handed the herb to Thea, who looked at me with shocked eyes; not only her but old man Ed also had a look of shock in its aged eyes.

  Since I broke the first protected formation on the 46th floor, the news of me doing that had spread like wildfire, and tens of people, mostly elites, started to follow me.

  Old man ed and Thea came to me without asking and stood behind me while I broke the formations; they have been doing that since yesterday, despite knowing the huge risks that came with it.

  "I can't take it; it is too precious," Thea said after a second of thought and moved the box toward me.

  Yes, she is right about the herb being precious, and the teacher would scold me if she came to know about it, and old Marla might beat the shit out of me. There are many people in the academy who were stuck on the edge, just a step away from breaking into the elite stage.

  The addition of each elite would increase the strength of the academy, and if they knew I gave it to the person who I b?r?ly know for few months, they would surely flip out, but thea had become a good friend, and seeing how she stood behind me despite the knowing dangers, it is at least I could do.

  "If you consider me your friend, take it," I said and pushed the box toward. "Take it, little girl. You could consider it as a favor from little Jordan, pay him back when he needs it," Old man Ed urged, seeing she is still having some reservation about taking it.

  "Thank you, Jordan," Thea said with misty-eyed and stored the herb in her storage.

  A second later, I dissolved the ice dome, and three of us walked toward the herb hall's exit. There are around fifty people looking at us, both humans and Grimm Monsters, but nobody dared to attack us; attacking would be an all-out war, and nobody wants that when it is explicitly forbidden by the leaders of both groups.

  Soon, we reached the hallway and picked up a place to sit; since I had secured all the protected plants, there was nothing more for me to do other than wait.

  Time passed by, and three more days passed; in these past three days, nothing had happened except for making people more agitated and angry, but not a single one dared to climb up the stairs. Just yesterday, everyone had felt a fearful aura coming out of the upper floors.

  The leaders were fighting, and the aura from their battle was very frightening; even those with big courage did not dare to climb the single stairs.

  While others may be agitated and angry, I am not. I am sitting in defensive formation with my friends; while talk and do their things, I work on my Inheritance. For three days, I have been continuously working on my Inheritance, b?r?ly doing anything else.

  It is very fruitful, this tower had given me huge inspiration, and I needed time to write them down and incorporate them all into my Inheritance.

  "Oh, look, Danielle, and she had also become an elite," Williams shouted out, making me open my eyes by her shout.

  "Earlier, people used to take decades to become an elite, but here they just have to pop a herb, and they will, they will transform to elite," Old man Ed muttered while casting a glance at Thea, who had consumed the herb I have given her.

  I looked at Danielle, who attracted the attention of more than half of the people who were sitting in the hallway with an elite aura emitting from her.

  She was looking around the hallway, but when her gaze fell on our corner, her eyes twinkled, and she came toward us.

  "Danielle, congratulations on becoming elite," Thea congratulated Danielle as she appeared beside us. "You too, thea," Danielle replied.

  "Come inside, little girl, this formation of Jorden is really amazing," Old Ed said. Danielle nodded and took a step to come inside when suddenly she stopped; not only she had stopped but also us and everybody else in the hallway.

  The aura of leaders have spread into the room, and a few seconds later, a human and Grimm Monster came down from the two different stairs. They are commanders of Scorcese valley of their respective races, and the aura they are emitting is very powerful.

  Both of them stopped by the stairs and opened their mouth at the same time as if they had done it hundreds of times before.

  "The exit gate on the 48th floor had been activated; those who wish to leave the tower could leave," Both of them informed in unison.
