“Mr. John, can I get a similar weird meteor rock?” Looking at him, I asked expectantly. Because the weird meteor can narrow down the gap between me and those talented seeds from powerful backgrounds.
A surprise glint flashed in John’s eyes. But it quickly went away. “Since Vincent feels that weird meteor rock can help him. Then I should look into this matter more,” He thought to himself.
Then looking at Vincent he replied, “Alright, If I can find more such meteor rocks, then I will collect them and give them to you.”
He is not bragging. He is quite sure that the mad research group in meteor rock country have this meteor rock under them for research purposes.
But as far as he knows they failed to find the use of the material. Thinking about it, he revealed a bright smile on his face. Then looking at Vincent, he feels that Vincent will find the uses before those mad researchers.
Hearing assurance from Mr. John. I sighed in relief. Then I remembered the most important thing.
I asked, “What about those unknown wizards, who were stalking me recently?”
John wasn’t surprised by the question. He said with some assurance, “They are gone. No one will pose any threat to you again. As I said before, just focus on how to improve your strength in the coming months.
Hearing that, I nodded my head in response.
Then after talking about a few other things, he dropped me back at my house.
Looking at his disappeared back, I sighed inwardly. “Everything is going to change from now onwards,” I muttered to myself.
After getting into my room, I recalled our earlier conversation. Mr. John’s advice continues to ring in my ears. Unless I reach level 2 the uneasiness in my heart won’t go away.
Then a flash of determination appeared in my eyes. I made up my mind to visit the Claudia gym frequently.
…
The venen city,
The disappearance of the sword guild’s hunters finally got noticed by some big wigs. But due to other strong guild’s interference. None of them made any move.
Instead, they again send a batch of hunters with level-3 wizards as their head. The sword guild wants to determine the exact area of ruin before anyone could find it.
A few days later, the special area on the vast plains was crowded with hunters. Not only the hunter group from the sword guild. There were several uninvited guests were present at that place also.
As usual in the end, a fierce clash breaks out. The level-3 wizards from the sword guild began to oppress others. As a result, the hunters from other guilds were defeated in the end.
The big wigs from the sword guild have given some deadly artifacts to their hunters for this trip. They don’t want to see a similar situation happen again.
Fortunately, this helped the sword guild’s hunters to gain victory. The sword guild wizards then began to explore the special area.
Time passed,
The exploration went for several days. But none of them had thought about checking out the calm and clear lake. The sword guild’s hunters had searched the nook and corners of the special place except the lake.
Finally, the leader of the group concluded that the existence of the ruin was just a rumour. With that everyone returned empty-handed.
When they returned, the other strong guilds in the nearby areas were aware of the news. Somehow the information was leaked. Everyone ridiculed the sword guild for their misadventure.
Some guilds felt lucky that they didn’t send their hunters blindly to the vast plains. Slowly, the issue about the ruins is settled down between guilds.
Even the government remained silent after hearing the news. They just watched everything happen on the sidelines. The competition between the guilds is something monitored by the adventurer union.
So they felt it was unnecessary to intervene.
When everything settled down, peace returned to the venen city. The hunters from various guilds continued their old lifestyle.
At the same time, the turmoil at police headquarters was also settled down.
The news about the sudden demise of Leon Willy inside the prison cell caused a lot of dissatisfaction. Level-5 wizard Billy Woods was called back to the capital for questioning.
Apart from that, the operation of the police force remained as usual. Someone had taken the in-charge of the investigation department for the time being.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
Everyone back in Little Star Gate High School had put aside their differences and focussed on the year-end competition.
On the other hand, a new building for the unique magic users was inaugurated by the headmaster. And the first batch of unique magic users was personally taught by the headmaster himself.
Rumor is that the new batch of unique magic users are also going to participate in the year-end competition.
But the rumours were discussed by bottom-ranked wizards. The remaining top and mid-ranked wizards in the entire school were preparing for the competition
Wizard students from Class A division (A1 to A6) to Class D division(D1 to D6). Including the newly formed unique user class that is signed up for the competition.
…
(From MC’s perspective)
One week before the year-end competition.
The vast plains- wilderness,
Under the shade of a huge mountain cave, sitting calmly, I began to sort out my collections.
Liver of 3rd order salamander, the roots of a blood-sucking flower, the tooth of 3rd order croc monster, the petals of a blind rose and other miscellaneous herbs. 𝘦.𝘰𝘳𝑔
My eyes gleamed with twinkle when I counted the valuable magic materials inside my storage bracelet. Then I placed the storage bracelet inside my system’s storage space.
I have to say, these vast plains are paradise compared to the outer areas. There are a lot of magic materials that can be found here. Thinking about my collection, a wide smile spread on my face.
If I sell this material for a good amount, then I don’t have to worry about my weekend practice. Then I thought about the year-end competition. I can’t wait for this week to end.
“System, show my status panel,” I said to the system.

A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. As my gaze fell on the statistics, I cracked up a smile. It’s been a few weeks since I had a breakthrough.
Compared to my former weak self, now my strength has risen many folds. At that time, after the breakthrough, I observed a drastic change in my core area.
Instead of cloudy grey mists, now there is a small palm size circular grey core. Looking at the status panel, I guess this was stage 2 development. If I continue to break through in future, I believe the size of the core will increase.
Though it was palm -sized, I felt an endless amount of gravity power from it. I know this is my magic core. If anything happens to it, then I will be crippled.
Fortunately, I haven’t met any opponent so far who can threaten my life. The wisp of the gravity power remained the same. It can kill the 3rd order monster in a blink of an eye.
But sadly, I had never used it against the 4th-order monster. The 4th-order monster was similar to the level-4 wizards.
If I fight that 4th order monster, then it will alarm certain bigwigs. From the adventurer union, I heard that level-5 wizards are monitoring the movements of 4th-order monsters.
Word is that some 4th-order monsters are on verge of a breakthrough. If that happens, then that monster will become a 5th order monster. The 5th-order monsters can easily command other monsters.
Which is a serious threat to the surrounding cities. So the adventurer union and other guilds were keeping an eye on the 4th-order monsters.
So if I do some rash things, then it will expose my strength in front of others. Then dispelling the thoughts I looked at the other details. My strength and other three attributes crossed the hundred mark. While other attributes reached level 2.
My eyes condensed when my gaze fell on the Constitution. The progression of the sacred gravity physique has been slow. But I’m fine with it, I want an equal rate of progression in all my attributes.
Otherwise, it will become difficult to balance each other. Then retracting my thoughts, I decided to head back home.
