Little Star Gate High School,
The old butler persuaded Frank Lambert by saying, “Young master, this is not the right time to do it. We can discuss it with the family first.”
Frank Lambert remained silent for a moment. From the news, he learnt that it will take some time for Vincent to get discharged. In the meantime, he feels it’s better to get permission from his family.
“Alright, let’s go home,” He said.
The old butler sighed in relief. The situation is solved right now. Whether the family head will allow the young master’s wishes or not. Only time can tell. .
Then two of them left the school campus.
Inside the school campus,
The dark league member Carlos succeeds in getting inside the school. No one has an idea that a level-5 wizard is lurking inside the school.
After scanning a few buildings, he finally spotted the clinic signboard. Seeing that he quickly walked in that direction.
Right now there is no high-level wizard around the clinic. If Carlos wants to massacre, it will be an easy task for him. But he has other ideas.
“What would happen? If that kid dies inside the clinic,” Carlos said to himself.
Carlos thought about dragging the school into this matter. If that kid(Vincent) dies, then everyone will suspect school management. Especially the student named Danny Quinn.
If that happens it will be much better for his organization’s plans. After figuring it out, he decided to implement this plan.
Then retracting his thoughts, he slowly approached the clinic. Right now, there were not many people around this vicinity. So he didn’t bump into school staff.
Soon a small building came into his view. Seeing that he stopped his movements, he looked around the surroundings carefully. He doesn’t want to get recorded by those annoying gadgets.
For a moment a trace of apprehension appeared in his eyes. He wants to spread his mana breath to scan the clinic. But it’s too risky to do that.
So he decided to wait and see. He carefully hid behind the tree and concealed his breath.
…
(From MC’s perspective)
Wardroom,
[Ding! Level-Up System, 1.1 is ready.]
[Ding! The host can use herbs to cure the mental injury.]
A mechanical voice sounded in my mind.
Fortunately, the splitting headache has lowered somehow. Then from the words of the system. I remember placing herbs inside the Gregor mansion.
That was during my wilderness trip. I had never expected this would save my life. Then next comes the hardest part. How am I supposed to concoct a potion?
I have only attended the basic potion classes so far. Looks like I need to find a way after reaching home.
[Ding! An enemy was detected around the vicinity.]
When I was lost in thought, I heard another alarming instruction. “What?” My heart set off storms.
I opened my eyes and looked around my room. I saw two mage healers treating Danny Quinn. Seeing that, I twitched. “Don’t tell me the enemy is related to him,” I said in my heart.
Now is not the right time to hide in the Gregor mansion. There are people here. At the same, I have this nagging feeling in my heart. Which got multiplied after the system’s warning.
Then I closed my eyes and pondered deeply. If it’s a level-5 wizard, then I can kill him. But the problem lies in the location. I don’t want to confront the enemy in this place.
My best option is to hide inside the Gregor mansion. So I decided to wait for those two medical staff to leave.
A few minutes later,
Two mage healers left the room. Then I opened my eyes and grumbled, “Looks like they have exhausted their mental strength.” I’m too familiar with the situation.
My parents are also mage healers. I knew it would take some time for them to recover their mental power. So I think it’s a good opportunity now.
Then I observed bedridden Danny Quinn. After confirming he is not awake, I used my system to enter the Gregor mansion.
The next second, I disappeared from the bed and appeared inside the Gregor mansion.
“Phew,” I exhaled in relief.
Then I looked around. The Gregor mansion is changed completely. I made some renovations here for emergency use.
Suddenly I realized something. I need to adjust the mansion’s time flow rate. I have to set it to normal. Otherwise, the outside time will be the same.
After figuring it out, I walked towards my room.
Creak
I walked inside and lay in my bed comfortably. Then I instructed the system, “System, set the time flow rate normal.”
[Ding! The host command is recognised.]
[Ding! The command is executed.]
[Time flow rate: Normal]
“It’s done,” I smirked.
Now I’m completely safe. Then suddenly an idea struck my mind. “Wait!” I grumbled.
“System, show me the screen of the wardroom,” I instructed the system.
The next second, a small projection screen appeared in front of my eyes. It is the wardroom.
I see my empty bed and Danny Quinn. Seeing that no one was around, I sighed in relief. “I don’t know who the enemy is?” I mumbled under my breath.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
After half an hour, the medical staff entered the room. Seeing their image on the screen, a surprising glint flashed in my eyes.
“Did they use any recovery potion?” Doubt appeared in my heart.
But the next moment, I saw the shocked expression on their faces.
“Where is he?” One of the medical staff exclaimed in surprise.
“He might have gone back home?” Another staff member commented.
Then one of them immediately went to check the restroom. Seeing that no one is inside. The medical staff decided to inform their head.
At the same time, I wanted them to report back as soon as possible. Otherwise, there could be a possibility of encountering the enemy.
Right after the two of them left, another silhouette entered the room. Seeing the stranger, I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
[Ding! The enemy is detected.]
After hearing the system’s voice, I observed the person’s image closely. I engraved his image in my mind. If there is an opportunity, I should report this to John Meyer.
But I don’t know who sent him to assassinate me. Frank Lambert’s side or Danny Quinn’s side.
Confusion appeared in my eyes but I’m not scared. All of this effort is because I don’t want to expose my strength in front of others. Then I see that stranger walking towards the restroom.
Seeing that, my lips bent into an arc. How come his actions were so predictable? I see that the stranger is confused and enraged. He must be surprised by the situation.
Then I see him walking towards Danny Quinn’s bed. I knitted my eyebrows in surprise. Seeing his distorted expression, I realized that he is not related to Danny Quinn as well.
If it’s someone related to Danny Quinn, then they would have checked on him first. Instead of searching my whereabouts. Which leaves me with one option. “Frank Lambert”
“System, what is the level of the enemy?” I inquired my mind.
[System: Level-5 Butcher Wizard]
My pupil constricts. Level-5? Why do I have this feeling that I’m missing something? Could this guy be related to that dark-league old man?
The more I think about it, the more it sounds logical.
“Dark league, huh?” I said to myself. I received no message from John Meyer. I wonder what is up to now?
Then I see that stranger exit the room. A few seconds later, a couple of people entered the room.
I see Class teacher Eric and those two medical staff from earlier. There is also one more person beside them. The middle-aged man must be from the administration.
…
Outside,
The dark league member Carlos didn’t leave the school. But waited patiently near the clinic. “He is not in the room. So where is he?” Carlos grumbled.
Instead of finding the target, he saw another kid named Danny Quinn. Right now, he can think of only one possibility. That kid Vincent Carey must have left the clinic secretly.
Because he has searched the entire clinic twice. But he didn’t find Vincent Carey. Which only makes his assumption correct. But still in order to confirm the situation. He decided to wait and see.
…
The administration office,
Chairman Benjamin didn’t leave the school. But rather stayed in his office. Because he knows Danny Quinn’s family will arrive shortly. And they will confront him first.
When it comes to Vincent Carey, he is not worried. Because the school administration already informed Vincent’s parents. Unlike others, Vincent’s parents were healers, they immediately understood the situation.
On top of it, it’s a small mental injury. It can be cured in a short time. But it’s not the same case with Danny Quinn. The healers were exhausted completely. They feel it’s better to transfer the patient to green leaf hospital.
Thinking about it, Benjamin sighed inwardly.
Beep!
When he was lost in thoughts, he received a notification. Seeing that, he proceeded to read. Then he came to know that the medical staff were wanting to meet him urgently.
