Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

(From MC’s Perspective)

Little Star Gate High School,

The following day,

“We will watch your duel after work,” Mother Lila Carey said. Shaking my head, I left the house for school. I’m sure both of them will ask permission from their head to watch my duel live. At the same time, the image of the elder brother comes to mind. He was strangely quiet. He doesn’t bother me these days. Which was also unusual.

Maybe he had realized something about my strength. I remembered the last time we had a small duel in the backyard of our house. He was defeated very quickly. Perhaps his silence was also related to this incident. Then I removed these thoughts from my mind. Whatever happens with my brother, I can deal with it later.

But first, I should focus on today’s duel. While walking along the street, I also recalled yesterday’s event. I don’t know whether the disappearance of the hunchbacked old man is known by their organization, I should also keep an eye out regarding this incident.

20 minutes later,

I arrived before the school gate. As usual, the crowd gathered in numbers outside the gate. Today’s duel will be more interesting than previous duels. After walking past the crowd, I walked into the campus.

I see a lot of people. Even the wizard students from other divisions were excited about the match.

Beep!

Suddenly, I received a text message from fatty. I guess he has been waiting for me. After reading the text, I learned that this guy is waiting outside the battle arena along with Timothy and Palmer.

“Palmer?” I got black lines on my forehead. This guy should be supporting his class. I don’t know what kind of issue he had with Kenny Sutton. Looks like he hates him more. Then shaking my head, I walked towards the arena.

Along the way, I saw familiar faces from my previous class. After nodding at them, I made my way to the meeting point.

A few minutes later,

“Brother?” I heard a voice from ahead. No doubt, it’s none other than fatty. I see that his face is bright. Seeing that, a quick glint flashed in my eyes.

“Lucas, is there any good news?” I asked, looking into his eyes. By that time, Palmer and Timothy also arrived.

Seeing them, I asked, “You guys, what are you doing here?”

Palmer and Timothy looked at each other. Timothy turned towards me and said, “Brother Vincent, in our class chat group last night, Kenny made a bold statement.”

My lips curved slightly, and after my exit, class A2 has become a little more interesting.

Palmer added further, “Vincent, everyone knew that you are a former student of our class. So Kenny wants to make a statement by beating you up in front of the whole crowd.”

Hearing that I let out a small chuckle. I replied, “Fine, I will be careful.”

Three of them sighed in relief. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Even if I say some strong words they won’t believe me. They should see for themselves.

Then I turned towards the fatty and asked, “What about you?” From his look, I can see he wants to say something to me.

“Brother Vincent, Chrissy Heart, and others woke up,” Lucas Brad replied.

“Oh”

“No wonder,” After uttering that, I didn’t ask anything.

I can tell the friendship between us has changed. It’s not as usual as before. Fatty’s strength has failed to keep up with me. Perhaps this has become a wedge between us. But it can’t be helped. I have to get stronger to face my future opponents.

“Alright, I’m going to the participant area,” after saying that I left. There is also one more reason that I want to have less contact with Lucas. The dark league can attack those people who are close to me.

It will be a matter of time before I leave this place. So I don’t want any mishap to happen to others.

When I walked into the arena, I saw cameras flickering at me at a fast speed. Then my image is shown on the big display screen with details.

A small crowd of people broke out in loud cheers. I can see it was due to my identity as a Class A1 student.

It’s normal for media houses to know my identity. Then without minding everyone’s gaze, I walked towards the participants’ area.

This time I saw my classmates arrive before me. Everyone is seated apart from the top five. Seeing me coming, some nodded at me. While others looked at me with cold gazes.

My expression turned solemn. I know something is wrong with a few people. But I don’t know what it is. I recalled yesterday’s reactions to these people. The next moment, I recovered myself. Because I know nothing can change today’s outcome.

When I walked past them, a familiar face stood before me.

Seeing him, a cold glint flashed in my eyes. He has been annoying me lately.

“Liam Baker,” I muttered.

On the other hand, Liam Baker burst into laughter.

“Ha…Ha…Ha…”

“Vincent, I thought you were scared to come,” he added further.

“This clown,” Shaking my head, I walked past him and sat in my seat.

Liam’s face darkened instantly. “You…,” he pointed his finger at me in anger.

The next second, he retreated to his seat. Liam knows it will be a matter of time before Vincent gets crippled. When that happens he can laugh at him. He took one glance at Vincent before sitting quietly.

…

At the same time, Vincent’s elder brother walked into the school. Brian Carey didn’t inform anyone about his visit. He wants to see his brother’s duel live. He wants to know whether the strength shown by his younger brother is real or not.

Then he silently made his way toward the arena.

Inside the viewing block,

Chairman Benjamin instructed his assistant to invite the class teacher of Class A1.

The headmaster Chester Nixon was also okay with the development. Today’s duel is going to be important. As a headmaster, he would like to interact with Eric Wallace.

Eric Wallace arrived a few minutes later. He immediately greeted the chairman and the headmaster.

Chairman Benjamin cracked a wide grin upon seeing Eric.

Chairman Benjamin asked, “So Eric, whom do you think is going to win the competition?”

Chester Nixon also perked up his ears to listen.

Eric Wallace answered, “The winner will be Brent Dale.”

Chairman Benjamin thought it was given and wasn’t surprised by the answer. Brent Dale’s combat strength is higher than Danny Quinn according to the records.

Chester Nixon wasn’t surprised by the answer as well. Because he had already tried the inspect magic on them. So he knew two of the elite students were on a different scale.

Chairman Benjamin then thought about something and asked, “Then what about next year?”

Hearing that Eric Wallace answered immediately, “It will be Vincent Carey.”

“Oh that one,” Chairman Benjamin had black lines on his forehead. How can he forget that name? He will never forget that day when he got lectured by two giant organizations.

Thinking about it, he gulped his saliva.

“Sub-taboo gravity magic,” Chester Nixon said in his heart. He remembered the face of that unique kid. Usually, people with sub-taboo power normally act arrogantly. But that kid is different. He had never acted out of his place. He even rarely participated in combat class.

He recalled the profile of Vincent Carey. It’s been one year since his awakening. But that kid’s combat strength can rival mid-rank wizards. He is also aware that Vincent has given his name to this competition. So he is slightly looking forward to his match.

…

Participants’ area,

The top 5 finally came. Everyone is seated in their seat. All the spotlights on them. Because the final winner of the competition is among them. ．

Seeing the limelight few people got jealous. Eric Marsh is one of them. He was discharged from the clinic last night. But when he heard the result of his classmate Judy. He got dumbfounded.

Her performance shadowed him. She not only defeated her former classmates but also set a new record for herself. Before the start of the competition, Eric Marsh thought of subduing her. But the current results have shown the harsh reality. He is weak and he still has a long way to go before clashing against the A-rank wizards.

But he couldn’t hide his envy when he looked at all those spotlights on the top 5 wizards in Class A1. Seeing that, he clenched his fists. “I will find a better meditation method to improve my strength,” he said to himself.

He is also aware that having a better rank meditation method is also good for his strength.

When he was lost in thoughts, Judy Owens had already seen through his moods. She sighed to herself. It will take some time for Eric to understand the reality. The top 5 wizards are extremely strong. They were on a different level. Like other wizard students, she is also looking forward to their duel. She wants to see what sets them apart.
