(From MC’s perspective)
Next day,
After waking up, I followed my routine. I meditated for one hour before getting ready and freshened up completely.
9 A.M
When it’s time for breakfast. A frown appeared on my face. I’m sure that at this point many would expect my presence in the dining hall.
Beep!
A sudden notification sound brought me back to my attention.
I looked at the communication watch. Seeing the contact name, I opened the notification to read the message.
A few seconds later, my eyebrows ease down a little. The message is from a senior. She is waiting for me in the Hall. I think she has collected the mana stones from the Treasury.
After gaining some clarity, I hurriedly wore my red mage robe and walked out. Right now, there are no other students in this corridor.
Which gives me a huge surprise. I assumed people would stare at my dorm room. Thank goodness, there is no such thing that has happened.
But I don’t know that my surprises were temporary. When I stepped out of the dorm building. I see many wizards outside. Some of them were chatting in groups. While a few of them were waiting for someone.
But one thing is common, everyone seems to be the outer house students from different Halls. My appearance didn’t bring that much attention.
Then I slowly walk towards the Sub-Taboo Hall.
Dorm,
Right after that, some of the wizards waiting outside of the dorm have to change the expressions on their faces. Their targeted person has already left the building.
Within seconds, the group was reduced by half.
Sub-Taboo Hall,
I walked into the hall a few minutes later. Then I see the senior is already waiting for me as usual.
I asked, “Senior, have you got the mana stones for me?”
Carolina Slate blinked her big eyes and observed her junior for a moment.
She sees that Vincent is fine and his eyes were clear as water without any worries. Then she nodded her head before taking out a metal box from her storage bracelet.
“This silver metal box has 10 mid-grade mana stones in it,” Saying that she handed the box over.
“Mid-grade stones uh?” My eyes lit up with surprise. Because I know that mid-grade stones were usually in high demand.
1 mid-grade mana stone can be exchanged for 100 low-grade mana stones.
And this box has 10 ten in it. Which saved me from weeks of meditation. Then I carefully placed it in my storage bracelet.
Carolina asked, “Are you ready for a special program?”
A quick glint flashed in my eyes. Why is she asking that? Then I realized she might know some insider news. I’m even confused why there is no notification so far.
“Senior, do you know something?” I asked back.
“Sigh”
Carolina let out a small sigh. The special program class is really strange in my opinion. Because the selection criteria for enrollment are even stricter than our academy enrollment.
I’m not surprised by her words. Before coming to her someone filled me in with details. Only top-notch seed wizards are going to join the special program.
Seeing no reaction from Vincent. Carolina finds it strange. But she quickly continued further,” As I said, It’s very hard. Not every Hall has students who are going to participate in a Special program.”
“So there are many contradicting voices in the academy. Many influential people wanted their descendants to get enrolled in it. But it’s a pity, our academy is very clear with selection criteria,” She added further.
Hearing that, a trace of confusion appeared on my face. Where is she going with this? .
“I heard one of your old classmates had a meeting with such descendants,” Carolina Slate revealed shocking news like dropping a big rock in calm water.
My eyes burst out with a cold glint. Old classmate? Who could be?
As far as I know apart from me no one got enrolled for the Yellow River Academy. Then who is making trouble here?
The next second, I looked at the senior again.
“Senior, who is it?” I asked.
Carolina Slate doesn’t want to hide it either. She broke out the news by saying, “The wizard is from the Dale family.”
“Dale family in dragon city?” I blurted out in surprise. The red city is a small barren town. How Dale’s family could know people from the Capital?
I feel things were not that easy. Something is going on. But I quickly recovered. It doesn’t matter anyway. Eventually, things would come to light at one point.
Then I also realized something.
“Senior, has any such descendant enrolled in a special program?” I quickly saw through her thoughts and asked.
Otherwise, there is no need for her to tell me about the Dale family.
Carolina Slate looked at Vincent with an appreciative look.
“Yes, you are right. Not all descendants of powerful wizards are weak and useless. The one who had contact with Dale’s family might be strong. ”
“But unfortunately, I don’t know further details, Especially the identity of the person. But it may be another seed candidate from the special class.” She said with a sigh.
My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. That’s right, the appearance of the Dale family is not a good sign. If they want to create trouble for me, then it is possible only in a special program class.
Next second, I recovered myself and replied, “Thank you, senior, I’ll be more careful from now on.”
Hearing that Carolina sighed in relief.
Then we both head towards the dining hell. After a couple of seconds, the familiar scene repeated. Many gazes swept past me.
Thanks to the presence of the senior. No one dares to block our way. Then we smoothly reached the food counter to receive our food.
We found a good spot to sit a few minutes later.
From time to time, Carolina releases mana breath slightly to unsettled many.
“You did well by not responding to the battle post,” Carolina said in a low voice.
Right now, two of them were alone. No one sat beside them. Which gave her privacy to talk about something.
“Hmmm,” I nodded my head in response. Because my entire focus is on eating. The energy stored inside the man’s meat is something.
I feel energized after taking one small bite.
Seeing that her junior is fully engrossed in consuming the food. Carolina stopped talking and continued to eat her food as well.
Several minutes later,
I started reading the books back in my room. I made up my mind to finish the gravity book first.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
Two hours later, I find it hard to digest further. So I stopped reading and decided to use mana stones for practice.
I practiced for only one hour in the early morning. So I have yet to reach my limit. I placed the mat on the ground and sat cross-legged on it.
Then I took out the metal box from the storage bracelet and opened it. Seeing 10 milky bright mana stones my eyes gleamed with a twinkle.
I picked one of them and tried to absorb it.
Soon, I began running the gravity ark method. I don’t know how much gravity mana particles are contained in it compared to the outside environment.
At first, there was no visual happening. Then deep gray energy began to appear a couple of seconds later.
I immediately absorbed it in my body and started to circulate according to the mental method. After one circulation, I immediately felt the changes.
When the final energy settles down in the mana core. I felt changes in my physique. I immediately thought about the sacred gravity physique which is in a state of awakening.
I realized it must be some kind of improvement. So I continued the meditation.
Two hours later,
I opened my eyes and looked at the mid-grade mana stone. The stone lost its previous luster and it looked slightly dim. But still, energy is abundant in it.
These mana stones have mixed energy. Any elemental wizards can use them for their practice. But it is impossible with other elemental energies.
If someone tries to do it, then it will eventually lead to pollution of their mana core. So I’m not going to do such a stupid thing.
But I believe there are still some gravity mana particles left in it. I will test it tomorrow.
After gaining some clarity, I decided to check my status panel.
“System, show my status panel,” Then I said to the system.
