(From MC’s Perspective)
The Brad family restaurant,
We waited for a few minutes before others started coming. As I had expected, Fatty invited the poisonous trio from my class. Palmer and Timothy from class A2.
Thinking about Class A2, a beautiful silhouette comes to my mind. She is a former class teacher of class A2. I don’t know why? I have this vague feeling in my heart that I will meet her soon.
When I was lost in my thoughts, five of them started talking.
“Vincent, is that you?” Palmer asked boldly. Though the other party wore a mask to cover up the face. He still recognized the person.
Otherwise, who else could be standing beside Lucas? Not only him, even others noticed the presence of Vincent.
But still, Vincent didn’t greet them. There was an awkward silence for a moment.
“Cough”
As always Lucas Brad broke the silence after coughing up.
“Alright guys, let’s have dinner,” After saying that Lucas leads everyone to the dining table. The food was already arranged on the table.
Then everyone started to eat. From time to time, everyone talked about school and their future organizations.
At the same time, I eat a piece of mana steak. Fatty’s handwriting is really big this time. It can be seen from the energy contained in this mana food.
For a moment, I couldn’t help but look at him.
Then I sighed inwardly. What a luxury! To think Fatty has been eating this kind of food in his daily life. An envious glint flashed in my eyes.
On the other hand, The leader of the poisonous trio Chrissy Heart’s heart trembled a little. After witnessing Vincent’s strength, the status of Vincent drastically rose in her heart.
Now there is no previous contempt in her eyes.
Recalling her first meeting with Vincent and the following beatings later. She couldn’t help but have a flash in her eyes.
But she felt glad that she had made the right bet later. She left Liam Baker’s side and joined Lucas Brad. At first, she didn’t think much about Lucas Brad and joined only because of Vincent’s connections.
But after a few days of knowing Lucas, she learned a lot and knew the other party is not simple either. It’s much better compared to Liam Baker.
And there is no bossing around inside Lucas’ group. So they naturally avoided the misunderstanding. Right now eating the delicious food she couldn’t help but reminisce.
At the same time, she courageously takes a glance at Vincent. She doesn’t know why Lucas has arranged for this small gathering. But she knows this is not simple.
Especially at this tense time. It’s not safe to walk around the school. She was terrified by the appearance of the rogue wizard during the final duel.
So after that incident, there were very few people who walked around the school late at night.
On other hand, Palmer and Timothy also gave a small talk. They were impressed by Lucas Brad’s generosity. Such expensive meat would cost thousands of alliance points. But here Lucas is spending on them easily.
Even Bruce Hill and Mark Spears are enjoying the meal. They almost forgot about the terrifying existence of Vincent Carey. Two were fully focused on tasting each dish.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
After completing our dinner, we spent one more hour before parting ways. On the other hand, I waited for others to leave.
Seeing that no one was around, I turned towards Fatty and said, “Alright, Lucas. I have something to tell you.”
Lucas Brad revealed a complex expression on his face. He had already expected something like this to happen.
When Vincent defeated the top-ranked wizards in the top competition. He had thought about it.
The top-ranked wizards will be officially graduated after school. Then what about brother Vincent who had defeated those guys?
After realizing this, he sighed inwardly.
My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. Right after I uttered those words, Fatty’s expression changed drastically. My lips curved into a gentle arc.
“Looks like you know something,” I said.
Lucas Brad retracted his thoughts and replied, “Brother Vincent, you had hinted to me before the final duel?”
“Did I?” A quick glint flashed in my eyes. I tried to recall but I shook my head in the end. What does it matter anyway?
Then I looked at Lucas and said, “Yes, I’m leaving. My academy has asked me to join earlier.”
After saying that, I observed Fatty’s reaction. This guy? Fatty’s expression turned ugly.
Seeing that I got black lines on my forehead.
“Alright, don’t worry. We will stay in touch.”
“If you face any troubles, you can contact me,” I said.
Only after those words, I saw some brightness on the fatty’s face.
Lucas Brad recovered himself. Brother Vincent’s assurance gave him some hope. Earlier, he thought about how to survive without any backing.
Fortunately, now he had formed his group of friends. He can manage the troubles somehow. Getting brother Vincent’s assurance is an added advantage.
“Ha…Ha…Ha…,” Fatty Lucas burst into laughter.
Then he said, “Thank you, brother Vincent. I know you won’t leave just like that.”
Earlier his gloomy look completely swept away. Now it’s replaced with a bright face.
Hearing that, I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him. This guy changed his mood in seconds.
Shaking my head, I further added, “You can study the next term in peace.”
“There will be no Frank Lambert or Liam Baker”
“Almost all of the top 10 wizards are graduating after the competition.”
Fatty Lucas nodded his head in response.
Then he thought about something and asked, ” Brother Vincent, are you going to participate in the graduation ceremony?”
“Graduation ceremony uh?” I grumbled.
Then I shook my head and said, “No, I have no time for that.”
After saying that we talked about a few other things before I bid. goodbye to him. There will be a period later. ｂ𝚍𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｎｔ
…
The Dale Palace,
Faraway from Red City, there is a medium-sized castle. Also called the Dale palace.
Right now the palace hall is filled with various dignitaries. The people present here were the blood of the Dale family.
The long traditional mage family’s castle is now shrouded with a gloomy atmosphere. Many of them gathered in the palace hall don’t know what is going on.
But right now the current situation is related to the fate of the Dale family’s young heir. Who is said to have suffered a gruesome injury? Life and death are unknown.
The Ins and out of the issue are only known to a few people.
While people were waiting for the family head to arrive. On the other side of the castle, inside the room of the young master Brent Dale.
The head of the family is looking at his bedridden son. Patrick Dale moved his palm to check his son’s injury.
After a few seconds, he clenched his fist. Nobody can see his expression. Because he wore a metal mask to cover the hideous scar on his face.
But his heart fumes in anger. There is no improvement in the son’s health condition. It’s been a day since the duel was over. They have administered various magical herbs and potions in between.
Yet there is still no improvement. He was completely pissed off. He had never felt this powerless before. His son’s mana core was almost crippled.
Fortunately, it’s not a complete dead end. Otherwise, he would have gone to seek answers from Little Star Gate High School. Thinking about the person who is responsible for his son’s condition.
“Vincent Carey,” a vicious glint flashed in his eyes. After all, there is a strict hierarchy in this mage world. He is just powerless in front of a giant behemoth like the Yellow River Academy.
He knew the family’s level-5 wizard was compromised. Shortly after the family received a strict warning from the Yellow River Academy.
Not only them, many hostile forces knew it was Brent Dale’s guardian who intervened in the duel. On top of it, he also released mana breath in front of the whole public causing severe injuries.
He gritted his teeth in anger. He is cursing at the guardian’s late response. He is not at all worried about public outrage. If that guardian had intervened sooner, his son wouldn’t have ended up in this state.
But that doesn’t mean that he can forget this hatred. He can’t touch that kid directly. But he has plenty of ways to make him suffer at the capital.
After figuring it out, he recalled his connections in the Capital. Unfortunately, he didn’t know anyone related to the Yellow River Academy. But some of his friends’ sons and daughters were studying in that Academy.
He hatched a vicious plan in his mind. Finally, he made up his mind to meet his friends in the capital. On top of that, he has to prepare expensive gifts to make them accept his request.
Thinking about their attitude, he sneered inside. People in the Capital have different views about other cities. Especially the different mage families at Capital have their self-esteem.
They don’t even compare themselves to other mage families in the country. Fortunately, he made one or two connections.
Otherwise, it’s difficult for him to seek revenge
