(From MC’s perspective)
Little Star Gate High School,
Class A1,
The atmosphere inside the class is changed since the previous combat class. Especially, after Frank’s ruthless attack against Cooper. The bottom-ranked wizards didn’t even dare to take a look at Frank Lambert anymore.
Even more, the top-ranked wizards began to wry at him all of a sudden.
Seeing the solemn atmosphere around me, I don’t know what to make of it. Because in the year-end competition there will be more surprised awaiting everyone.
I also decided to reveal my cards at the year-end competition. Before that, I need to maintain my low-key status.
“Brother, that guy is staring at you,” Lucas Brad said in a solemn tone.
Hearing that, I turned towards my left side. Then I saw Frank Lambert staring at me with a face full of smiles. “What happened to him?” I grumbled.
To be honest, there is no grudge between us. Maybe my performance in combat class drew his attention. Because it’s abnormal for a newcomer to defeat mid-ranked wizards.
But I have done that very easily. I sighed inwardly thinking about it. Now, I have no interest in dealing with Frank Lambert yet.
Because my mind is occupied with some other issue. Collin Sanders, I don’t know what else is he planning. And I haven’t received any reply from Mr John Meyers also.
“Brother,” Lucas called out to Vincent, seeing that he is spacing out.
Hearing my name, I retracted my thoughts and looked at fatty. I replied, “Lucas, what about your strength?”
“Don’t forget that the year-end competition is coming. It’s the best opportunity to gain resources,” I added further.
Lucas was stunned hearing the words. Then he quickly realised what is going on inside brother Vincent’s mind. Unlike him, brother Vincent hails from a simple mage family.
So no wonder, he is thinking about the resources all the time. He had previously assumed that brother Vincent is thinking about strategies. The next moment, he revealed a bitter smile on his face.
“Sorry, brother. I thought you are planning something else,” Lucas Brad said in an apologetic tone.
Hearing that, I shook my head. I still don’t feel safe exposing my strength. Then dispelling the thoughts, I put my concentration on the lecture.
On the other hand, a cold glint flashed into Frank’s eyes. Seeing that, the newcomer Vincent Carey ignored him. His heart boiling in anger.
“Looks like my previous attack against Cooper is not enough,” Frank thought to himself.
Last time he attacked Cooper ruthlessly to warn others. Though he has seen the satisfactory result in others’ eyes. But the person he is most looking forward to was not afraid at all.
Frank didn’t like Vincent Carey at all. Especially, after hearing his remarks during the star battle platform. He had already decided to teach him a lesson when the time comes.
But nowadays, his plans were ended up in vain. His face becomes gloomy when he thinks about it. He can’t directly attack the newcomer Vincent Carey.
Because the top-ranked wizards are more powerful compared to the rest of the classmates. Even half of the attack power can severely injure bottom-ranked wizards.
The best example was their classmate cooper. His injuries caused others to woke up from their stupor. No matter, what bottom-ranked wizards can’t win against the top-ranked ones.
Likewise, Frank’s mind was occupied with various thoughts. If Vincent Carey was injured because of his attack, then the consequences will be disastrous. And fight between wizards inside the school camps is also strictly forbidden.
If he breaks the rules, then the punishment will be severe. When he thinks about all those things, his face has become even more distorted.
“Hmph, there is still plenty of time in my hands. I can slowly wait and torture him,” Frank sneered inside.
Frank is also aware that there might be a good organisation behind Vincent Carey. Thinking about the sub-taboo magic, his eyes flashed with envy.
So far he hasn’t thought about going extreme. The idea of killing Vincent Carey hasn’t surfaced in his mind.
It’s just he wants to put Vincent Carey in his place. In his opinion, there is no need for a newcomer to hop around that much.
Then after taking one glance at Vincent, he retracted his thoughts and began to listen to the lecture.
…
Time passed,
Few hours before the end of the class,
The dark-robed man is waiting for his prey. Outside, he may look calm and composed. But inside, his patience is running out of time.
He looked at the clock once more and sneered inside, “Just a few more hours, I’ll peel that brat’s skin alive” Thinking about methods of torture, his eyes flashed with expectation.
The dark league organisation wants him to make the brat disappear. But they didn’t tell him how to do that. Using this opportunity, he decided to do some experiments on that brat.
Thinking about it he let out a creepy laugh, “He…He…He…”
But he still doesn’t aware that he had already become the target of someone else.
John Meyer’s eyes stared at the rat from the dark league. Looking at his behaviour, he was somewhat convinced that the dark-robed man is going to target Vincent Carey.
He made up his mind to arrest this person for interrogation. But he decided to confirm one more time before arresting.
Time passed,
When the classes came to an end. A huge bell rang, indicating that students can leave the school.
The dark-robed man became alert. He set his gaze on the school’s entry and exit gate. Then he saw students exiting the building one by one.
A few minutes later, students began to exit from the A-rank building.
The dark-robed man observed them when they walked out of the school. But so far he hasn’t seen Vincent Carey.
“Where is that brat?” He thought to himself.
He began to scan around the premise. Still, a wave of students came towards the exit. Seeing that, he decided to wait for more. But he knows there is no other exit apart from this one.
Soon, a silhouette attracts his attention. Two students coming towards the exit. One was leaner and another one was fat.
The dark-robed man saw both of them wearing A1 class badges. When he saw the face of the lean kid, he immediately recognised it.
The next second, he burst out into laughter.
“Ha…Ha…Ha…, finally caught you, Vincent Carey,” He said with a laugh.
He thinks he is talking to himself. But he don’t know he was doomed when he uttered that words.
When the dark-robed man decided to act. His expression froze. He felt an unknown powerful sense captured him. The next second, he decided to break out with his full power.
But no matter what, he couldn’t even move his muscles. Realizing that he broke out in cold sweat. A terrible feeling enveloped his heart.
“Who is it?” He thought to himself.
On the other hand, John Meyers sighed in relief. After capturing the dark-robed man, he set his eyes on Vincent Carey.
Seeing that the kid was not aware of anything, he sighed inwardly. Then he looked at the dark-robed man with a cold glint.
The next second, both of them disappeared from the spot.
John Meyers dragged the dark-robed man towards the abandoned residential area.
A few minutes later,
He dropped the body of the dark-robed man on top of the building.
Thud
The dark-robed man from the dark league was genuinely terrified. His scalp went numb after realizing that he was captured. He couldn’t even run his mana. Everything was sealed.
He had never expected a small wizard school to have a powerful wizard to protect them. “I’m going to die,” he muttered to himself in fear. ｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏ𝚖
After dropping him down, John Meyer began to ponder. Now he has to do some changes to his plans. Since the dark league’s intentions were clear.
He needs to inform this shocking news to his higher-ups. Then John Meyer began to type a short encrypted message and sent it to the academy.
He doesn’t know when the dark league started to kill wizard students. If there were other wizard schools, then he believes that the academy will take strict action against the dark league.
Earlier, he wanted to do some solo interrogation. But the more he thinks about the problem, he realised that higher-ups will object to his actions.
The dark league’s actions don’t look that simple. If he takes this person to the academy, higher-ups may implement sophisticated methods to get answers from him.
A quick glint flashed into his eyes.
After pondering for a few moments, he decided to request assistance from the academy. Because he still feels Vincent is not safe here.
He doesn’t want any mishap to happen after he went away from this place. So he made up his mind to protect Vincent from the dark until help arrives.
After gaining some clarity, he took a dark-robed man towards Carey’s residence. He decided to monitor Carey’s house from a nearby building.
