Returned Silently

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.
