(From MC’s Perspective)
Little Star Gate High School,
Combat Room,
By providing resources to Class A1, the people behind the school really know how to make money and connections.
In particular, most of the wizards in Class A1 have already joined some organizations.
The school management is helping elite wizards, at the same time they want to be in the good books of their organisation also.
I’m not going to oppose this. The reason I’m here in this class A1 is also because of my organisation. Otherwise, the school management wouldn’t have acted quickly enough.
Dispelling my thoughts, “Why is there no sign of Mr. Freeman yet?” While looking at the entrance, I muttered to myself.
Then I looked around me. Almost everyone had come. Just as I was pondering, I heard footsteps. I turned towards the entrance.
Liam Baker and his group walked into the room.
Liam and others looked around to find someone, but when their eyes spotted me, they stopped.
A quick glint flashes in my eyes upon noticing Chrissy Heart’s sly smile.
After taking a glance at me, Liam walked away with his group to stand at the other end of the combat room.
I didn’t need any heaven defying ability to know these guys were up to something. Especially scheming is written all over Chrissy Heart’s face.
Unlike yesterday, her mood has brightened today. I already guessed their source of happiness. When I realised I’d have to face their calculation sooner, a small smile appeared on my face.
Brad noticed Vincent’s smile, he asked, “Brother, what is it?”
“Ahem, you see, Liam and his group were unusually happy today. So you need to be careful. If anyone challenges you today, reject them without even thinking. “I replied to Fatal Lucas in a calm tone.”
Lucas was startled. He thought that Bi!ch had already dropped her grudge. But right now, after hearing from Brother Vincent, he became alert. “After getting home, I need to collect new information about Liam’s group,” Lucas Brad thought to himself.
Just as both of us were conversing with each other, the top wizards of our class began to enter inside one by one.
The already noisy atmosphere quiets down all of a sudden. Seriously, this scene is nothing less than those dumb movies.
Dispelling my thoughts, I looked at them.
The 9th rank wizard, the 8th rank wizard, the 7th rank wizard, the 6th rank wizard, and the 4th rank wizard, Frank Lambert, walked into the room.
Students saw that all of the top wizards came to school today except for 5th rank wizard Jake House.
He immediately headed to his group after entering the class. Soon, another silhouette entered the class accompanied by her two female friends, the 3rd rank wizard Victoria Shields.
“Brother, I have collected the information about those two women accompanying the 3rd rank wizard,” Lucas Brad said.
After saying that, Lucas added further, “These two women are the 12th and 13th ranked wizards in our class.”
A slight glint flashes in my eyes. Earlier, I was wondering about the stats of wizards ranked between 11 and 15.
I remembered Liam’s stats before. That fellow had every attribute of being close to 30. And he is only ranked 10th in our class.
I touched my chin in contemplation. I figured out the approx. stats of an 11th rank wizard. It must have at least 25 (+-) points in all attributes.
If there is no surprise, I can easily take down the 11th-ranked wizard and other ranked wizards followed by him.
My strength stats are at 30, and the other three combat stats are also above 30. In particular, my vitality points stand at 75. which I still feel surreal about.
When it comes to Liam, if this guy has made no improvement till now, then there will not be much change in his stats.
Let’s see, I can use the probe function to solve my confusion. But it takes away my critical thinking. Unless it’s deemed important, I won’t use the probe function right away.
Next, recalling Fatty’s cautious words I furrowed my eyebrows and asked, “What do you mean by 3rd rank wizard? It doesn’t hurt to say her name. ” I replied to Fatty.
“Brother, stop saying this. If your words caught their attention. Then there is going to be unnecessary trouble. ” Fatty Lucas hurriedly advised me with his words.
Shaking my head in denial, I thought these guys were really too much. I went to Police Headquarters, but I never saw any police wizards acting like this. Those professional level-2 and level-3 wizards are not as showy as these people.
Images of Mr. Laurenz flash before my eyes. That person is really gold. He gave up his own artifacts to me.
And look at these people? I believe their actions must be related to their organisation. Apparently, Top 10 has already signed contracts with some big wigs, including Liam Baker.
So this gives them capital to show off in front of their classmates.
Next, two more silhouettes walked into the combat room. Danny Quinn, the second-ranked Wizard in our class, came next, the strongest in our class and school, Brent Dale, 1st rank wizard in our class.
After stepping inside, both of them chose their own spot to stand. None of them took a glance at their fellow classmates.
I’m really itching to try the system’s probe function on them. Yet I calmed my nerves quickly. Since I have decided to act low-key, I won’t expose myself unnecessarily. It’s never too late to challenge them after gaining strength.
Suddenly, a burly figure entered the class.
Combat teacher Freeman laughed out loud and said, “Ha… Ha… Ha… You guys must be wondering, why am I late?”
Hearing that, I twitched. Why do I have this feeling? Mr. Freeman waited for the proper moment to enter. In particular, he entered right after Brent Dale walked inside.
On the other hand, while everyone is looking at Mr. Freeman, Liam glanced at Easton Brown, who was standing and conversing with his own circle.
Upon noticing Liam’s gaze, he gave a slight nod. Seeing that, Liam smiled. He can’t wait to hear Mr. Freeman says, “Let’s do the ranking duel.”
But the next moment, everyone’s expression changed drastically.
“The reason I’m late is because a certain esteemed individual from school management wants to witness the prowess of our elite class”
After saying that, he continues to say, “So this time the combat class will be held at Start Battle Platform.”
“Okay, let’s not waste anymore time. Follow me towards the star battle platform”
“Gasp!”
His sudden statement caused quite a commotion among the students.
What is the star battle platform? They won’t go unless there is a duel between the top 10 wizards. But now they are hearing that someone from school management wants to see their magic duel.
Some students were excited, and a few others were worried.
Even top 10 wizards were moved by Mr. Freeman’s statement. For them, all they care about is resources. If they can successfully attract the attention of the school management, it will be immensely helpful for them.
Frank Lambert clenched his fist in frustration, “Damn it, why did he (Jake House) have to take a day off today?” He said to himself.
Frank knows that if Jake were to be present now, he would have definitely challenged his 4th position.
Using that opportunity, he will show his magic prowess in front of everyone, especially the school administration on the Star Battle platform.
But the reality is harsh. He couldn’t help but hate Jake House right now.
At the same time, Liam’s expression turned ugly. After so much calculation, his plan has met with a sudden twist.
Seeing his unnatural face, Chrissy Heart felt something bad. She realised Liam’s plan had run into a snag. But she didn’t dare ask right now.
Bruce Hill and Mark Spears’ faces also turned a bit solemn.
At the same time, Easton Brown is dumbfounded by Mr. Freeman’s words. He already had some calculations in mind to buy other ingredients for the limit-breaking potion. But it looks like everything is going to crumble down.
Simultaneously,
“Brother, this is huge. We are just talking about the Star battle platform. And now we are going to that place. It’s really unbelievable. ” Fatty Lucas exclaimed excitedly.
But my eyes gleamed with surprise. 𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥．𝐜𝐨𝗺
Respected member of the school administration? Did they already select the next headmaster? My gut feeling tells me that this event is related to the appointment of the new headmaster.
Soon, followed by Mr. Freeman, the students exited class. Both of us also walked along with others.
The lift space is not enough for students. So some take stairs to walk down.
And I’m not in the mood to talk to others. So I patted Fatty’s shoulders to follow me. We walked downstairs.
When we reached the 5th floor, students from Class A2 also exited the class. I spotted a few familiar faces from Class A2. I immediately realised the duel was going to happen in front of everyone.
So everyone in A-Block is making their way to the Star Battle Platform.
“It’s going to be crazy,” I muttered.
Soon, some students recognised Vincent and Lucas’s faces. A small commotion broke out, but none of them walked forward to greet Vincent and Lucas.
