(From MC’s perspective)
Battle Tower,
[Floor 100: Cleared]
[Congratulations on reaching the No.1 position in the Outer House ranking!]
A row of information appeared in front of me. Seeing that my lips curved into a gentle arc.
Swish!
Next, I disappeared from the spot and appeared outside. Suddenly, I felt multiple gazes on me.
“Hmmm,” I raised my head and looked at the scene in front of me.
In front of me, wizard groups from other Halls looked at me with fierce gazes.
“Vincent?” Before I could figure it out, I heard a voice from a distance.
A beautiful figure rushed towards me. She is one other than my senior.
“Senior, what are you doing here?” I asked.
It’s surprising to see her here.
Carolina Slate blinked her big eyes and replied, “You gave me a big surprise. Take a look at the leaderboard ranking.”
Hearing that, I turned towards the huge digital screen. Where rankings were displayed.
[Outer House Ranking]
1. Taboo- Hall, 1. Sub-Taboo Hall
2. Bloodline Hall
3. Elemental Hall
4. Weapon Hall
5. Power Hall
6. Unique Hall
7. Beast Hall
8. Transformation Hall
9. Mechanical Hall
10. Research Hall
11. Medical Hall
The first place is shared by Two Halls. Seeing that, I wasn’t surprised. I knew it before entering the tower. The Snowstorm wizard from Taboo Hall has set a benchmark.
Even she created a record in the Inner House ranking. I glanced at other Hall rankings before retracting my gaze.
“Let’s go, your actions have created a storm in our campus,” Carolina said with a chuckle.
A trace of confusion appeared in my eyes. Then we left the battle tower without minding the gazes of everyone. I have anticipated the wizard’s reactions before. So I’m not shocked that much.
Several minutes later,
We reached our Hall. After entering inside, I immediately asked her, “Senior, what about rewards?”
I’m hoping to receive some mana stones.
On the other hand, Carolina Slate rolled her eyes at him. Vincent’s identity is getting popular on the academy’s social media site.
But this guy is hell-bent on receiving rewards. “Ha…Ha…Ha..,” She let out a bell-like laughter before saying, “First, check out our social media site. Then I’ll talk about the rewards.”
After saying that she sat on the sofa.
Hearing that, a quick glint flashed in my eyes.
What is she talking about? Then I proceed to check the social media site. I quickly logged in to my student account to access the page.
A couple of seconds later,
My eyes stared at the news feed. Then I scrolled down the page to read further. Soon a wry smile appeared on my face.
“Is gravity magic so popular?” I asked out in surprise.
The voice was not so loud. It’s heard by Carolina.
“Hmm, more popular than you think. It’s all because of the late ancestor of the academy,” Carolina said with a sigh.
Then without waiting for Vincent to reply. She opened her mouth to say, “Now, everyone has the privilege to witness the gravity magic. So all the eyes will be staring at you hereafter.”
Her words reached my ears. But I didn’t look at her, rather my gaze fell on the battle post. Someone wants to challenge me. When I read the wizard’s name, my lips curved into an arc.
“Stuart from Mechanical Hall,” I said in my heart. Is this guy nuts or what?
Then I looked at Carolina and said, “Senior, someone issued a battle post.”
“Oh! yeah, that guy is from Mechanical Hall.”
“He is known for doing such crazy things. Don’t mind him. Just focus on digesting your rewards,” She added further.
“Rewards?” I asked back.
Carolina smiled and replied, “Yeah, apart from our Hall. There will be a separate reward from the Battle Tower.”
Hearing that a bright smile blossomed on my face.
Carolina observed Vincent’s reaction with an amusing smile on her face.
Then she asked, “Alright, let’s talk about rewards. Right now, the seniors from our Hall were busy with their work. So if you need something, you can tell me.”
“I want mana stones,” I replied without thinking further.
Carolina wasn’t surprised by the request. “Mana stone is fine. I’ll text you after collecting it from the Treasury,” After saying that she decided to leave.
But suddenly her footsteps paused.
“Vincent, one more thing. Since your information is open to the public right now. No one will cause you trouble face-to-face. But that doesn’t stop people from scheming. So be careful,” After saying that she left the hall.
I stood in the same spot and pondered deeply. I’m not a pushover either. If people want to challenge me, they have to think twice before doing it.
It’s not that I haven’t killed anyone before. But here without anyone’s backing my killing intention would lead me to self-seeking death. I have no other choice other than to act normal.
But Senior’s words have some truth in them. I’m yet to understand the politics and factions in the academy. I don’t even know whether everyone is united in Sub-Taboo Hall.
It’s better to not roam until the start of the special program.
After gaining some clarity, I left the Hall and walked toward my dorm.
On the way, I realized something was off. When I walked out, I felt someone peeping at me. Is this my imagination? No! I sneered inside.
The Senior is spot on completely. People are spying on our Hall. I sneered inside. Looks like some people can’t wait for me to show up.
I understand people want to see my reaction to the battle post. Then without showing many expressions on my face. I continued walking towards the dorm. ．𝗻𝐞𝘁
Swish! Swish!
On the other hand, a three-red silhouette appeared in front of the Sub-Taboo Hall. They were none other than wizards from the Mechanical Hall.
“Hey, is he the one?” one of the wizards pointed his finger at the disappearing silhouette.
Hearing that, two other wizards nodded their heads. Then one of them looked at the footage where Vincent can be seen talking to Carolina.
After confirming their identity, three of them disappeared from the place. Right after they left, a few wizards from other Halls swept past their gaze at the Sub-Taboo Hall.
Everyone is curious to know whether the fresher is inside the Hall.
Dorm,
After a few minutes, I walked into my room. I closed the door and went to take a long bath. Though the trails in a battle tower are not real. But my mental and mana exhaustion is the real deal.
20 minutes later,
I changed into my comfortable clothes and lay down on my bed. There were quite a lot of people who kept an eye on me when I walked out of the Sub-Taboo Hall.
Then they will eventually know about my dorm room. I sighed inwardly.
Beep!
Suddenly my communication watch lit up with a notification.
Seeing that, I opened the notification to read it.
[Battle Tower Rewards]
[Name: Vincent Carey, Level-2 Gravity Wizard]
[Hall: Sub-Taboo Hall]
[House: Outer House]
>> Rank: 1st
>> Floor: 100
[Rewards: 10000 Battle Points. Access to any two intermediate wizard knowledge books.]
When my gaze swept past the following rewards. I couldn’t help but gasp. Intermediate Wizard Books?
A burning desire rose in my heart. It’s not easy to access that many basic books. But the tower rewarded me with intermediate books. And there is no mention of specific books.
I can use it to access intermediate gravity magic books. The ranking is worth it. Right now, I feel satisfied. And the earlier gloom in my heart was completely swept away.
But the intermediate knowledge books were too early for me to read them. It’s better to complete the basic knowledge first.
Then I started to read the book called “Introduction to Gravity Power” by Mitchell Park.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
I continued to understand the power of gravity. Right now, I also wanted to know about my sacred gravity physique.
The basic book doesn’t have the information about sacred gravity physique. Maybe the intermediate book might have something.
A vague curiosity rose in my heart. So far I have yet to understand the power of sacred gravity physique.
Then retracting my thoughts, I continued my reading. As time went on, my understanding has gotten deeper.
After some time, I closed the book and started to read another book named Basic of mana particles.
Mechanical Hall,
On the other hand, Stuart got the details from his Hall mates. The new gravity wizard seems to not care about the battle post issued by him.
Stuart’s expression turned dark. If it was any other newcomer, he would have gone to his place right now.
But Gravity Wizard is different. Somewhere in his heart, he felt good. At this moment, Stuart doesn’t want to face the Gravity Wizard so soon.
The new gravity wizard ranked 1st in Outer House rankings along with Lara White from Taboo Hall. Which shows that Vincent Carey is strong.
Since the newcomer is avoiding the battle post then no one can point a finger at him. Which also saves him some face.
Then he searched the recent topics on social media sites. As he expected, the news began to circulate right now.
