(From MC’s Perspective)
“The winner is Vincent Carey and now he ranked 20th in the class,” looking at everyone, combat teacher Freeman said. Which brought another wave of applause from the students.
Hearing that I smiled in relied. Next, I shifted my gaze towards another clown. I spotted Easton Brown standing along with Liam and his minions.
Perceiving me that guy quickly averted his gaze. I sneered, “What happened to his arrogance now?” But I seriously considered whether to fight him or not.
The duel will be difficult as I think about his physique attributes. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. On the other hand, the combat teacher recalled something.
Freeman asked, “Vincent, are you going to challenge someone?” His words were loud enough to reach everyone’s ears. The atmosphere quieted down sudden and everyone’s gaze fell on me next second.
Perceiving that, I remained silent for a moment. Because, I realized I have exposed already enough cards. It’s hard to guess the implications of my duel with Mathew Hunk.
So there is nothing wrong in being patient for a while. In particular, my attributes will increase further in a few days.
Combination of orange grade talent with earth grade mental method will benefit me greatly. So I can challenge Easton Brown next time in peace. And at that time I can be sure of defeating him successfully.
After gaining this clarity, I replied, “Combat teacher, I’m tired. I can’t continue anymore.” After saying that, I turned around and walked towards Lucas Brad. My words didn’t met with any surprised gaze.
Combat teacher Freeman commented, “Alright, you can leave.” Then he looked at others before saying, “Next, challengers can step up on the stage.” Hearing that, someone from 28th rank walked onto the stage to challenge someone.
By this time, I have already at the side of Lucas Brad. Shock and confusion can be seen on his face. I can understand his thoughts. Sadly, I can’t tell him about my secrets.
“Brother Vincent, how did you do this?” Lucas Brad inquired in a surprised filled tone. His words made everyone perked up their ears. Especially the students around us.
Usually, they don’t mind my existence. But right now they are staring at me, like I’m the star of the show. Without minding their gaze, I looked at Lucas and said, “It’s all about calculation. Mathew misfired. I used that opportunity to succeed.” I didn’t say anymore non-sense.
People with good judgement can already perceive some details after watching my duel. I believe Mathew’s error will make many people think that I won by fluke. Which is exactly, what I want? All I need one or two peaceful weeks for now.
“Oh,” Lucas Brad said. it’s clear from his frowning face that he didn’t believe it completely. I watched the faces of a few other people turned ugly who overheard our conversations.
Shaking my head in disapproval, I shifted my attention back to the duel. While I was watching this duel, I felt someone watching me. This kind of feeling irritated me lot recently. Then I turned my head and followed the direction of gaze.
My eyes gleam with surprise as I saw the stranger with white coat. Noticing my gaze, he responded with a small smile. Seriously, who is this guy? I wrinkled my eyebrows in confusion.
I don’t think he came here for sight seeing. Considering, level-4 wizard like our combat teacher to act humbly in front of him. It seriously raises some doubts.
Then suddenly images of system’s previous alert flashes before my eyes. “Spyware?” I mumbled under my breath.
“System, Did you find out who was responsible for infiltration?” I asked in mind to system.
[Ding! Host, unable to detect the third party.]
[Ding! Current update of system has limited functions.]
[Ding! Wait for next update to access more functions.]
Hearing the familiar sound in my mind, I calmed down my heart. I know I’m expecting a little too much from the system.
Talent upgrading capability alone defies logic. Plus there is auxiliary help like probe function. With these two alone, I can sail through smoothly on a wizardry path. So, I’m not disappointed with the system’s words.
Anyways, coming back to the topic. Apart from the stranger there is no new one beside here. So I feel this infiltration attempt has something to do with him. I’ll ask the combat teacher about the stranger after this class.
Then I retracted my gaze from him. At the combat stage, I saw the duel end without much surprise. The combat teacher then asked other interested students to step up.
The duel between bottom ranked wizards was not up to the mark. I can see why these people were enthusiastic about the top 10 wizards. Only their duel can make everyone amazed.
…
On the other hand, Mathew was healed after consuming healing potions. Then he walked up to his friend’s circle. FranK Lambert looked at Mathew in fiery gaze. He was obviously pissed off by the result.
Mathew gulped his saliva. He don’t know how to describe what had happened? Earlier, he was aiming for a good shot.
But after his misfire, the situation changed drastically. he couldn’t be able to fathom how the new comer has the strength like power wizards? Vincent’s speed and strength made his cognizant overturned.
Feeling the blazing glare of Frank, he lowered his head. He knows if not for combat class, this guy would have taken his spear to attack him.
Seeing the intense reaction between the two, the rest of the friends took a little step backward. They don’t want Frank to explode in anger out of nowhere. This is the first time they have seen Frank’s plan to fail.
Frank Lambert controlled his anger and said to Mathew, “I want a full explanation after the class.” After saying that he returned to his usual self. 𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
There is no more anger can be seen on his face. But Mathew knows it is not true, he is just hiding it. After hearing his words, Mathew remained silent. He decided to tell him about Vincent’s strength later.
…
Liam Baker’s face was discolored. He still can’t bring himself out of that duel. “Now way!” “Is that his real strength?” Liam thought to himself.
Recalling his previous confrontation with Vincent. When Vincent was still studying at Class A2. Liam couldn’t help but suck cold breath.
He always felt something weird about Vincent’s undefeated streak. Even he thought Chrissy Heart and the other two exaggerated their claims. later, when he visited them in clinic. He finally believed Chrissy’s words.
He felt Vincent’s was strong due to his sub-taboo gravity magic. As long as they can neutralize it, they can defeat Vincent easily.
With Chrissy Heart’s defeat, he knew bottom ranked wizards can’t stick against Vincent.
That’s why he thought of using Easton Brown. A power type wizard. He believes Vincent’s magic can’t restrain Easton Brown.
But when he seriously recalled the events of past confrontation. He realized he misjudged Vincent’s combat power.
Apart from Gravity magic, Vincent can use his speed and strength to defeat his opponent. Now this revelation made him to rethink his plan.
He doesn’t know how Easton Brown can deal against current Vincent Carey. Lots of questions come to his mind. Liam noticed Easton’s expression, which is not good either.
Few steps behind, Liam and Easton. Chrissy Heart, Bruce Hill and Mark Spears were conversing with each other. “Chrissy, we should never come across Vincent again,” Bruce Hill said with fright. Not only him, Mark also tried to stop his trembling hands.
Because, Vincent’s duel made them reminded about their past defeat. At that time, Vincent made three of them bed-ridden. It took quite a while for them to recover from bone injury.
At the same time, Chrissy Heart was panicking side, “Damn it! Why is he so strong?” She felt Vincent was stronger than their leader Liam. If this goes on, Vincent will eventually surpass other strong wizards in time.
She doesn’t know whether Vincent still has a grudge against them or not. But if three of them didn’t solve this little hatred soon, then their ending would be worse than death.
Suddenly, she looked at Liam with a hateful gaze. If Liam had believed their words from the beginning, he wouldn’t have ended up making stupid plans.
She then turned towards Bruce and Mark. She said in a hushed tone, “We will find Vincent later to ask for forgiveness.” Bruce and Mark looked into each other’s eyes.
They were totally surprised. This is the same woman who wanted revenge previously.
Now she has turned back her decision. None of them said it loudly. Bruce was happy that at least the enmity can solved now. Mark also has the same opinion. Then both nodded at her.
Time passes,
DING DONG
Finally, the bell rang reminding everyone that class was over. The ongoing duel at stage was postponed to next class by combat teacher.
My gaze shifted back to the stranger. I’m hoping for a small gap to inquire combat teacher. But seeing that these two were conversing with each other. I don’t know what to do?
“Brother, Let’s go,” Lucas Brad said beside me. Hearing that, I decided to inquire about it later. Then we walked out of the class and proceeded to head towards the exit.
