From MC’s Perspective:
The Sub-Taboo Hall,
Senior Sister’s enemy’s background is very strong. At our current level, it’s foolish to offend him.
Then shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts.
Carlina reveals a helpless smile on her face as she watches Vincent’s silence. She knew Vincent would be silent after hearing the enemy’s background.
Finally, she decided to stay away from the Elemental Hall. As long as she stays in her lane, no trouble will get to her.
The Sub-Taboo Hall is not without any background. So she pins her hopes on Seniors in case any trouble comes knocking the door.
Beep!
When I was lost in thoughts. My watch lit up with notification. Seeing that the message is from the Mentor Lion. I sat upright and began to read the message.
A few minutes later,
My eyes flickered with cold glint. What in the world is happening around me? First, it was a compulsory special mission. And now the Special Class comes up with another outdoor activity.
Carolina Slate finds change in expression of Vincent. She asked,”What happened now?”
“Mentor Lion from our Special Class has arranged an outdoor trial for us,” I replied in a solemn tone.
“Another test?” She asked.
“It must be. I have to go to the special class right now. I’ll brief you after the class,” After saying that I got up from the seat and walked toward the exit.
Carolina’s eyes lit up with surprise. She is absolutely sure that the Special Class’ intentions were clear. Because if there is a trial, it’s going to be for everyone.
Then she got up from her seat to start her work.
Meanwhile, I walked out and headed to the nearest phone booth to enter. After entering inside, I selected the destination on the interface system.
A few minutes later,
I stepped out and appeared in the special class environment. Looking at the familiar environment, I realized. I’m the first one to come here again.
Then I walked up to the massive iron gate and stood in front of it. The spot is the usual area for everyone to gather.
Swish!
A few seconds later, another person came. He was surprised by my presence. Ignoring his gaze I shut my eyes off and continue to wait.
As the time goes on, the wizards start to come in. After several minutes, almost everyone arrived at the spot.
Swish!
Lara White made a sudden appearance.
Gasp!
Seeing her everyone exclaimed in surprise.
Meanwhile, “Hmm,” I knitted my eyebrows. Because I feel a sudden drop in temperatures around me.
When I opened my eyes. I see Lara White standing next to me. A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. Her mana seems to be a lot stronger compared to last time.
But I’m sure she has not reached the peak yet. Which gives me a sense of relief. Because I made up my mind to reach level-5 as soon as possible.
Because I found being an Inner House Wizard is not very useful. Only when you climb up the ladder, the powerful wizards would notice you.
Meanwhile, Lara White also noticed Vincent’s presence. A hint of fighting intent rose in her heart. She also heard about this outdoor trial. Which is more suitable for her compared to the simulation trials.
Now she has the opportunity to achieve the 1st spot in the Special Class rankings.
Swish!
Mentor Lion appeared before everyone. His gaze immediately scanned the people. “It’s good. 25 Inner House Wizards are here,” He muttered to himself.
For outer house wizards there is a different schedule.
Right now he wants to talk about the outdoor trial. Before opening his mouth, his gaze went past Vincent Carey and Lara White.
“The next trial place was arranged. But instead of a simulation trial it’s going to happen in a real place,” He said.
“Mystic ruins of the old era,” He added further. 𝒷𝒹ℴ𝓿𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Lara White’s heart set off storms. She knows only a little bit of that place. That was one of the dangerous ruins in the country. No one dares to go there anymore including the wizards from the giant forces.
Meanwhile, “Mystic ruins?” I raised my eyebrows in confusion. I tried to recall the stuff that I have read from the library. That place was quite mystic because not anyone can enter that place freely.
The place is under the control of the government. My face sank. Why do I smell trouble again? I don’t think it is going to be as simple as trials.
I looked into Mentor Lion’s eyes and expected him to spill more news. Certainly, he is hiding something.
On one hand the wizard students are guessing and shocked by the news. On the other hand, Mentor Lion observed everyone’s expressions.
He knew some of them were aware of the mystic ruins. So he was not surprised by their shocking expressions.
I said,”I know some of you are not strangers to that place. But I’m going to tell you something. Something happened in the ruins.”
“Here we go,” My mouth curved into an arc. I knew something had happened. Then I perked up my ears to listen further.
Lion said,”Strangely, level-5 wizards and above couldn’t enter the place. Some kind of barrier was activated in the ruins.”
“Right now, only low level wizards can enter the ruins. So the academy wants to send the special class students there to find some opportunities,” He added further.
Gasp!
Everyone gasped in surprise right after his words. Some don’t even want to go there. At this moment, everyone realizes it’s not a simple trial.
Lara White frowned. She didn’t expect such a change to happen inside the mystic ruins. Like everyone else, she became hesitant to participate in this trial.
In normal times, even higher level wizards find it difficult to survive inside the mystic ruins. She finally decides to ask her new teacher later.
Wizard Lion said,”Alright, if you want to leave, you can but then you will also be kicked out of the Special Class.”
Gasp!
Everyone sucked a cold breath of air. The academy’s move is aggressive. They are hell bent on sending wizards there.
Meanwhile, I’m also thinking about consulting with Senior Gilbert. If it was an ordinary ruin, it wouldn’t attract that much attention. But right now changes there made everyone reevaluate their decision.
“So those who are willing to participate gather here at 10 in the morning tomorrow. I will tell you about trial rules then. Now you guys can leave,” After saying that Wizard Lion disappeared.
Shortly after, everyone started to leave. Seeing that I turned around to leave. But a beautiful figure blocked my path.
“Lara,” I said.
Lara White didn’t plan on talking too much. She simply said to Vincent,”Beware of Mike Curtis from the Taboo Hall.”
After saying that she walked away without turning back.
“Mike Curtis?” I mumbled under my breath. Why is she warning me? A strange glint flashes in my eyes.
But I recorded the name in the memory before leaving. First, I decided to go to the library to learn more about the mystic ruins. Because my inner instincts want me to visit the mystic ruins so badly.
A few minutes later,
I appeared in the library area. After logging my details, I searched for books. Then I came across a few name lists. After finding the book, I choose an empty section to sit down and read.
Right now, there aren’t many people in the library. So my appearance didn’t attract that much attention.
Time passed,
I don’t know how long it has been. But I closed the book after getting information from it. Right now, my heart is not calm.
The mystic ruin is indeed not any ordinary ruin. It’s suspected to be a city from the age of the old magic era. The entire city was destroyed due to unknown reasons.
Since the place used to be a city. Some high level wizards such as level-7 and above went to that place in search of relics.
But only a few managed to escape alive in the end. It’s because certain old restrictions were active till this day. Which eventually attracted the attention of the big forces.
Because too many forces want the piece of pie. And the government is not willing to allow everyone. So as the decades go by, people eventually forget about this ruin.
Until the recent changes. After gaining some clarity in thought. I have realized why the academy wants to send the special class wizards there.
The special class wizards are young elite level wizards. So their chances of obtaining opportunities were high compared to older low level wizards.
If my guess is correct, then the other two academies will do the same. So in this mystic ruin trial, I’m going to finally meet the wizards from other places.
A huge expectation rose in my heart. But at the same time, I have to be wary of others. The Bloodline Hall had lost the opportunity to do anything to me.
So this mystic trial may give them some hope. Then I got up from the seat and decided to leave. I want to meet sister Carolina and talk to her about this. Maybe she can give me a hint or two.
