From MC’s perspective:
The following day,
I woke up quite early to meditate. After doing the morning routine. I sat cross-legged on the ground and started to run the gravity ark mental method.
Right after I begin to attract the gravity mana particles from the surroundings. When the mana particles entered my body, I guided the energy according to the mental method.
After circulation, the refined mana settles down inside the mana core. Then I continued to repeat the process.
There hours later,
I opened my eyes after ending the meditation. I revealed a smile when I felt the beaming energy inside my body. The daily progression gives me a sense of satisfaction.
Then I thought about looking up the status panel.
“System, show me the status panel,” I said to the system. 𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

A wide status panel appears before my eyes. Seeing that, I immediately started to go through the details. After seeing no problem in daily progression, I sighed in relief inwardly.
Then my gaze fell on the spells. I have six more slots to fill in. But I need to find a suitable gravity spell for it. I’m sure the inheritance of the late gravity ancestor must have collected many spells.
I don’t know how long it is going to be before they allow me to accept the inheritance. Currently, I have 6 different gravity spells. All of them are extremely important and useful to me.
If not for these spells, I would have been trapped inside the deep crack of the collapsed mine for a long time. Talking about mine? I raised my eyebrows in confusion.
Yesterday, after coming back from the collapsed mine. I shut myself off from communicating outside.
I’m curious to know about the response team’s situation. Whether they had solved the problem or not.
And also there is one more person. The bloodline wizard was severely poisoned yesterday. Don’t know whether he got cured or not?
Lots of doubts appeared in my heart. Suddenly a good idea struck my mind. The academy’s social media site is a good way to check the updates.
Then I opened the site on my communication watch. A wide holographic screen appears above the watch. I began to search for the name.
After some seconds, a trace of disappointment flashes in my eyes. Then I began to browse some other posts. But nowhere did I see a little news about the special mission debacle.
All the posts that were trending were about the auction stories. It’s like none of them knew about yesterday’s incident. I think my assumption is wrong. So I decided to spend a few more minutes doing a thorough search.
Several minutes later,
My heart turned cold. There is no news or post about the collapsed mine incident. It is like someone blocked the information from getting out.
“Bloodline Hall,” I said to myself. The bloodline hall is shameless. They are the ones who were at fault here. But none of their actions were revealed to the academy.
What a control? My eyes flickered with a cold glint. If not for the current circumstances, I would have killed that level-6 bloodline wizard.
I feel like I’m under the scanner and hostile parties can’t wait for me to get into their trap. When thinking about it, my blood boils. I hope the situation changes in the future.
Then I got up and went to take a bath.
Several minutes later,
I walked out of the bath and changed into new clothes. Then I wore a mage robe on top of my shirt. I decided to skip the meals this morning.
Because I feel like I wanted to talk to Senior Gilbert first. Only he can tell me what’s happening behind the scenes. Then after checking myself in the mirror, I left the room.
After walking out of the dorm building, I walked toward the academy building. On the way, I see many people going in and coming out of the building.
My appearance didn’t attract that much attention. I immediately thought about social media. There were no recent topics about me that were trending.
Maybe because of it people started to forget me slowly. If it’s true then, it’s also good for me. Then I walked inside the building and headed toward the Sub-Taboo Hall.
On the way, I overheard some interesting conversation. Especially the news about the battle tower. Someone from the beast hall made a great progression in the Inner House rankings.
Walking, my eyes lit up with surprise. There are 12 wizard halls in the academy. But I have only encountered people from one or two wizard halls so far. Maybe it is because of a lack of networking that I’m not familiar with other halls.
By that time, I had already arrived at the Sub-Taboo Hall. Then I confirmed my identity before walking inside the room.
I saw no one here when I looked around. Senior Sister Carolina used to come here early. What happened now?
I quickly texted her to come here. Then I also sent a message to Senior Gilbert for updates. He wanted me to stay low-key for a few days. But that is not easy for me.
I sat down leisurely on the nearby couch.
A few minutes later,
Carolina Slate entered the room with a tired look on her face. She then spotted Vincent sitting down leisurely.
A hint of surprise flashes in her eyes. Because she feels a different vibe from him. She subconsciously felt the mana around Vincent is stronger which is similar to her.
She felt absurd at first. “Ancient snake blood?” Then a horrible realization struck her mind. She walked up to him and asked, “Vincent, what happened to your strength?”
“My strength?” I blurted out in surprise. “Did she find out?” I said in my heart. I almost forgot that she is a level-4 wizard.
My expression turned solemn before I returned to a calm expression. I don’t know how she will take it. I think I shouldn’t reveal the breakthrough.
“After consuming the blood, I received a small boost in attributes,” I answered with a sigh.
Carolina blinked her beautiful eyes before nodding her head. She guessed it right; it’s the effect of the ancient blood.
“You are improving greatly,” She said with a distressed face.
Hearing that I raised my eyebrows in confusion. At first, she walked into the room with a bad face and now she is showing negative emotions.
I asked,” Sister, what is going on?”
Carolina revealed a deep sigh before finding a seat to sit down. Then she started to explain her worries.
After a few minutes, both of us remained silent. I was so occupied with the things that I didn’t know about my Senior Sister’s troubles.
Then I recollected my thoughts., She offended someone during her mission. And that person happens to be an arrogant wizard from the Elemental Hall.
“Seriously, how come the dignified Sub-Taboo Hall has been reduced to such a state?”
“Nowadays, we are getting bullied by other wizard halls,” I said in a cold tone.
Carolina’s eyes filled with surprise. She feels Vincent’s expression is not right. Then she thought about the central auction.
Carolina then revealed a bitter smile on her face. How come she was not aware of Bloodline Hall’s schemes? Her junior brother was also troubled by the bloodline hall’s behavior.
“Okay, let’s put this matter aside. No matter what other wizard hall knows their boundaries. So let’s hope everything will be alright soon,” She answered with a smile on her face.
I shook my head in denial. Sister believes in the rules of the academy. But there are wizards from certain Halls who won’t care about anything.
“Sister, tell me the name of that elemental wizard,” I asked.
“No,” She refuted immediately.
“Don’t offend them. You are already on the bad side of the bloodline hall. So it is not wise to make another wizard hall your enemy,” She said.
My eyes flickered with a slight glint. Why is she hesitating? I know she is a strong character. Her deadly vine magic is not ordinary either.
Then I collected my thoughts and asked, “At least, you should tell me something about your enemy.”
Carolina smiled bitterly and replied, “He is the son of a Level-7 wizard.”
My heart set off storms. “Here we go again, another arrogant young master,” I said to myself.
