From MC's Perspective:
On the way, I unexpectedly came across a few monsters, which helped me complete the mission. Then I returned to the stronghold.
But it was more crowded than before. I started walking through the crowd towards the Teleportation Platform.
"Hey, it's him!"
"Zack Lockwood!"
"He is among us."
"He is going back."
A few people in the crowd shouted. The next second, I felt many piercing gazes on me, as if everyone was waiting for me.
For a second, I was confused. I didn't know what was going on.
"Zack Lockwood, stay there!"
"I want to challenge you!"
"No, let me challenge him first."
"We are faction warriors; others step aside."
The warriors started to yell. They didn't want to let Zack Lockwood go back to the university.
