Chapter 361 Black Manta in Action
Just like Children on the Ground, Children Underwater also have to study. Thanks to the Knowledge accumulated by the Aquatic Race since ancient times, Magic has become a compulsory Class for some Aquatic Race.
That’s right, some Aquatic Race. Magic is precious Knowledge, so naturally not everyone can learn it. Generally, it is valuable Knowledge that only nobles or certain special individuals can master.
Aqualad Jackson is naturally one of these lucky individuals. His bizarre weapons made of Water are not solely created through Water Control Ability. Even if Water changes form, it is still Water. To imbue these weapons with specific properties, the assistance of Water Magic is essential.
Today, Jackson was still studying Water Magic. Since his Identity as Aqualad had been revoked, Jackson felt a sense of relief amidst his shame.
Jackson admitted that when Aquaman Arthur first chose him as his Assistant, a Bullet of joy and honor pierced his Chest. He felt that day was the happiest of his Life, but it was quickly followed by immense Pressure.
During his Days as Assistant, Jackson consistently held himself to the highest standards. However, he didn't regret it; on the contrary, he even found some enjoyment in it.
However, Jackson also harbored his own Thoughts, which was the true source of his relief upon returning to the Academy after his Identity was revoked. It was because his two Close Friend, Garth and Tula, were there.
The three were originally inseparable Friend. Among them, the water-manipulating girl Tula was Jackson's secret crush. However, after becoming Aqualad, Jackson had fewer and fewer Opportunities to see them.
You see, Aquaman's Assistant wasn't just there to help during Super Hero activities. Aqualad was also needed to handle the Aquatic Race's private Business and some royal Work. So, Aqualad was more of an attendant than an Assistant.
This Work compressed Jackson's Time. Even in Atlantis, Jackson didn't have many Opportunities to meet with Garth and Tula, as they both had their studies at the Academy.
However, after losing his Identity as Aqualad, Jackson returned to the Academy he had long been away from and reunited with his two Friend. His Mood was therefore a mix of joy and sorrow.
Tula and Garth, in fact, knew the Inside Story of Jackson's return. Aquaman had personally sought them out and explained the whole situation, fearing Jackson might become depressed. He wanted Jackson's two Close Friend to counsel him and promised that Jackson would be reinstated soon.
Tula and Garth readily agreed. They were Close Friend to begin with, and they would have looked out for Jackson even without Aquaman's request.
Therefore, Jackson, already experiencing mixed emotions, was met with even more solicitous Friend. He had been having a rather good Time these past few Days.
Just like now, he could finally engage in combat training with his two Close Friend again.
Excited, Jackson walked with his two Friend towards the Training Room. He had pleaded for several Days before Tula and Garth, concerned about his State, finally agreed to his request. Unfortunately, his Wish might be dashed.
"Jackson."
A slightly aged Sound came from behind. Jackson and his Partner turned around and saw a Teacher from the Academy calling out to them.
"What is it, Teacher?" Jackson asked.
"The Guard Captain from the Border in the direction of Atlantis Zien Port just sent a Communication," the Teacher swam over to them. "He said a Superhuman from the Justice League wants to meet you."
"A member of the Justice League?" Jackson's Eyes widened slightly. "Did he say who he was?"
"He said his Name is Yang Le," the Teacher replied.
"Mr. Yang?" Jackson said in Surprise. This reaction immediately caught Tula and Garth's attention.
"What's wrong, Jackson?" Garth placed a Hand on Jackson's Shoulder. "Who is this Mr. Yang Le?"
"He was my Guardian when I was in the Young Justice League, and you could say he's half my Teacher," Jackson said, looking ashamed. "It's just a pity we didn't follow his command and even acted on our own."
"Alright, Jackson," Tula placed a Hand on Jackson's other Shoulder, comforting him.
"We all know it wasn't your Responsibility."
"No, Tula," Jackson shook his head. "It was my Responsibility. As the oldest in the Squad, I should have guided everyone, but I completely failed."
Seeing Jackson becoming somewhat depressed, the Teacher standing opposite them spoke up.
"Let's talk about those things later. Your Guest is waiting for you. In any case, making a Guest wait is not proper hospitality."
"You're right, Teacher," Jackson perked up. "I'll head out now."
With that, Jackson propelled himself upwards with his feet, preparing to go to the Border to find Mr. Yang.
"You two go as well," the Teacher said, turning to Tula and Garth. "I know you're worried about Jackson. Class is over for today anyway, so let's dismiss school early."
"Thank you, Teacher!" Tula leaped up happily, while Garth gave a respectful bow. Both swam in the Direction Jackson had left.

In the dark Seabed, countless bizarre Seabed Creature lived. Their terrifying appearances could even make one believe they were Demons from Hell.
However, those with some oceanographic Knowledge knew that these strange appearances were merely Abilities evolved by these Life forms to adapt to the Seabed Environment.
Black Manta knew that while these Guys before him looked fearsome, they were just ordinary Creature. Compared to his upcoming Goal, these Creatures were nothing more than harmless little babies.
The Submarine moved silently, undetected even by these Seabed Creature. This was thanks to the help of others in the Illuminati, allowing him to possess this powerful Vehicle.
"We're almost there, Captain," a Subordinate suddenly said. Black Manta shifted his Line of Sight from elsewhere to the Screen in the center. As expected, the Radar Chart marked a location, which was his Goal this time.
"Combat personnel, board the Small Submarine!" Black Manta stood up and walked out of the Command Center. "We're going to deliver a Lightning strike to the Aquatic Race, aiming for a swift kill. Understand that failure is not an option for this Action."
"Yes!" ×N.
The massive Submarine came to a silent halt. Its Belly slowly opened, and several Small Submarine emerged in an orderly fashion, continuing towards their Goal.
Their target was a Pyramid-like structure. Around the Pyramid, numerous fully Armed Aquatic Guard stood watch, patrolling. Unfortunately, underwater Line of Sight was extremely poor. Even those who lived in the Seabed for extended Time couldn't detect the Troops slowly approaching.
