(From MC’s Perspective)
As the time passed, the top wizards began to arrive. I raised my brows when Liam Baker stepped in. I noticed him walking towards his seat without much expression. His weekend appears to have gone well for him.
Then I began to notice other high-ranking wizards. “Hmm,” I said a burly silhouette as he entered the classroom. Curiosity made me squint my eyes.
I mumbled, “Easton Brown, 11th ranker.”
Easton Brown, instead of going to his seat, approached Liam Baker and greeted him.
This single action surprised me greatly. When did he join Liam’s inner circle? My brow furrowed in perplexity. Easton Brown is the 11th rank holder, and Liam is the 10th rank holder.
Under normal circumstances, they should be standing opposite each other. What is going on now? Several ideas come to mind. I was previously aware of Easton Brown’s actions toward me.
Two days ago, nothing was said. However, I noticed a fighting spirit in his eyes. I thought he was excited about the Star battle platform at that time. But, right now after observing their interaction, I believe it is something else.
Easton Brown might point his gun at me. Besides, I have to say that I’m excited to put my current abilities to the test after the talent upgrade. And he’s the perfect sand bag for me.
My eyes have a slight glint.
Fatty Lucas, who was sitting next to Vincent, on the other hand, couldn’t help but notice Vincent’s change in expression. He knows when Vincent sits up straight, it means he’s ready for a new challenge.
These are his observations only. When the event occurs, he wants to see for himself whether his observations were correct or not. He paid close attention to Vincent’s actions.
…
Alternatively,
Easton Brown while ruffling his hair, said, “Liam, thanks for sending some herbs. ”
Liam, on the other hand, was taken aback by his unexpected greeting. He was concerned Vincent would notice something. So he quickly suppressed his emotions and looked Easton in the eyes.
“It’s just herbs,” Liam replied. “Don’t bring it up. I’d like to speak with you about something. So I’ll see you after break,” he added.
Easton’s eyes light up with a quick glint. He understood what was going on. So he politely nodded before returning to his own seat.
The small interaction between the 10th and 11th grade students bothers none of the students. It’s not unusual. Some strike deals in order to change the rankings. Few of them believed Liam was abusing his wealth.
Easton Brown sat comfortably in his seat. There are only a few minutes until the teacher arrives. Easton’s mind is racing with ideas at this point. He wasn’t able to challenge Vincent the last time because of a change in circumstances.
Nonetheless, Liam had sent him some potion ingredients, such as herbs. Any denial will no longer be possible. He must comply with Liam’s request. As Vincent’s image flashed before his eyes, Easton cast a slight glance to the right, where Vincent was sitting.
After a few seconds, he retracted his gaze. Offending sub-taboo powers is bad. “But no one can say anything during friendly sparring,” Easton thought to himself, his small brain already making plans to fight Vincent.
…
Alternatively,
“What is this sensation?” As I felt a sudden gaze on my back, I muttered. It’s not something new to me. I occasionally feel the gazes of students on my back. But the majority of them were just passing glances.
But this time I’m feeling differently.
As a result, I craned my neck to follow the line of sight. Easton Brown unexpectedly appeared in my vision. After confirming something, my lips curved into gentle arcs.
Then I went back to my original spot. After all, it was just an assumption. I’m now 40% certain that Easton will take action against me. Let’s see what new tricks Liam and his team devise.
At this point, the remaining top-ranked wizards, including Danny Quinn and Brent Dale, have joined the class. Eric Wallace, the class teacher, must now arrive to begin the class.
I cast a sidelong glance at Liam and his group. And I overheard Chrissy Heart bemoaning Liam Baker. “This poisonous b!tch has good acting skills,” I grumbled, shaking my head in disgust. “It’s no surprise they can keep Liam in their midst.”
My mind has become much calmer now that I have a better idea of who I will be dealing with. Eric Waller entered the classroom as I was lost in thought.
“Harrumph,” he said, which surprised me. What happened this time? The teacher was in a bad mood. Then I turned to the fatty and asked, “Do you know anything?”
Lucas Brad had black lines across his brow when he heard that. “How am I supposed to know, Brother?” He responded.
“But don’t worry, he’ll start confessing his sins to us soon, ha…ha…ha…” Lucas added. He let out a hearty laugh after saying that.
When I heard that, I cracked a small smile. Because Fatty’s words contain some truth. Eric, the teacher, is a terrible secret keeper. If the students here apply enough pressure on him, he will reveal everything to us.
I’m also interested in the changes that have occurred after Star Battle Platform. I remembered Judy Owens, the girl who stole all the attention. I’m curious what happened to her.
Then I lifted my head to look at Teacher Eric.
Eric Wallace, on the other hand, is in a bad mood. But he was professional enough to keep his emotions hidden from the students. He began taking the class after quickly taking attendance.
But, as I had predicted, some people couldn’t help but be curious. Frank Lambert raised his hand to ask a question, which I noticed.
Pfff
When everyone saw this, some of the students burst out laughing. The contagious laughter made the rest of them laugh as well.
“Ha…Ha…Ha…”
“Brother, as I mentioned just now, “Fatty Lucas spoke up next to me.
“How?” I said something. I’m not sure if Frank has genuine doubts or is purposefully making things difficult for Eric.
Lucas Brad overheard Vincent mutter. So he responded, “Everyone wants to know what happened after Star Battle Platform, brother. Because any changes will have a direct impact on top wizards.”
“As a result, among the top Wizards, Frank is the most impatient. As a result, everyone knows he’ll ask the questions sooner or later,” Lucas added.
When I heard that, I nodded to him. I almost underestimated the seriousness of the situation. Perhaps because I’m a newcomer, it didn’t hit me as hard. It’s a different story for senior students.
I noticed Frank was ecstatic about it. Brent, Danny, and Victoria sitting there silently watching everything.
…
SIGH
Eric Wallace realizes that continuing the class without disclosing some information to them is impossible. He needs to tell them something as a teacher. Because it will increase students’ liking for him
He then straightened his back and stood up straight. As he crossed the street, he looked around.
“Cough,” he said, breaking the awkward silence. 𝒃𝒆𝒐𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝙘𝙤𝒎
“I’m not sure what happened after that event,” he added. “Because everyone immediately returned to their homes.”
“Boohoo!”
Some students start booing. They were dissatisfied with the teacher’s responses. Frank was also wearing an unflattering expression.
He immediately inquired, “Teacher, Come on, I’m sure you’ve heard a couple of things. It’s fine if it’s gossip.”
Some of the students began to mimic his words as well. Particularly Frank’s friends
When Eric Wallace heard that, he immediately wanted to smash Frank. But he quickly regained control.
He then said, “Silence.”
Which immediately brought everyone to a halt. When Eric notices that the weather has returned to normal, he says, “I believe we will have a new headmaster by this weekend.”
“Gasp!” In this room, there was a loud exclamation.
Frank sat back in his seat, satisfied with the news. He was actually curious about the Star Battle Platform. However, he is smart enough to not to cross the bottom-line.
Eric, the great teacher, decided to reveal the news to them ahead of time. So he didn’t want to bother him any longer.
This news surprised top wizards at the same time. The new headmaster’s appointment means a lot of things.
For example, getting approval for a monster hunting trip and allowing resources on time both require the permission of the headmaster. No one would have cared if it had happened earlier, but chairman Benjamin’s recent actions had everyone perplexed. As a result, some of the top wizards are baffled.
…
Alternatively,
“Is this news correct?” I moved my gaze to Fatty. But I discovered that he was as surprised as I was.
Lucas shakes his head in disapproval. Actually, I’m not sure about this.
In perplexity, I raised my brows. “So, you got any other information?” I inquired.
Fatty quickly nodded his head in my direction. When I saw that, a small smile appeared on my face. I’m excited to ask him during the break. Our conversation was not heard because of the ongoing commotion.
