It was unfortunate, but there was little Zack could do about that.
Although he had wanted to face his newfound friend in the finals, he had already warned Jackson. It sucked, but Zack had still made it to the finals regardless.
He was really going to participate in the finals! His heart pounded and he felt extremely excited. A wide smile even spread across his face involuntarily!
He couldn't wait to fight MaceFace!
He couldn't wait for the rewards!
And, he couldn't wait to gain access to the Tower Treasury!
And, a small part of him couldn't wait for glory!
But, before that, Zack had to wait.
Changpu and Jackson needed to duke it out for who would claim third place in the tournament, but Zack didn't care to spectate that match. He was positive Jackson would win.
Since he had the time, Zack began meditating, entering the regenerative state as Jackson tested some ideas against Changpu.
Afterwards, he messaged his two best friends, Nick and Ivan.
