Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

(From MC’s perspective)

Star Battle Arena,

After arriving at the participants’ area, I realized there was no one here apart from me. Looks like everyone went to the spectator section. Looking at the empty seats, a quick glint flashed in my eyes.

Seeing me standing alone. Now, everyone will recognise my identity.

Shaking my head, I walked up to my seat. At the same time, the media reporters quickly spotted the changes. Someone is sitting in the participants’ area. Every camera turned toward the participants’ area.

The next second, the big screen showed the image of a student wearing a mask. For a second there is no sound. But a moment later, the crowd let out a roaring cheer.

Cheer!

No need to tell, everyone realized the wizard student is none other than Vincent Carey. The image soon attracted the attention of others including the school management, Frank Lambert and Brent Dale. 𝒃𝙚𝙤𝙫𝒆𝒍．𝙘𝒐𝙢

Somewhere inside the school campus, Brent Dale is communicating with his protector. His protector is a level-5 wizard. Right now he is at Vincent Carey’s home location.

“What happened?”

“Are there any changes?” Brent Dale asked. He knitted his eyebrows in confusion.

“Young master, there is no sign of a level-4 wizard staying in that kid’s home,” from the other end of the call his protector said.

“What, no one?” A deep frown appeared on Brent Dale’s face. He already made up his mind to cripple Vincent Carey. To deal with later consequences.

He sent his protector to check the number of strong wizards on Vincent Carey’s side. But right now, after hearing confirmation from his protector, his eyes gleamed with surprise.

If there was no one then what about Quinn’s family’s inaction? He knows that Quinn’s family is afraid of the strong. Otherwise, they can’t stay silent after their young master’s thrashing.

On the other hand, the protector asked back in hurry, “Young master, what next?”

“Shall I come back?”

Brent Dale’s expression recovered back to normal. Now that he had arranged some tricks before the duel. There is no need for his protector to waste time at Vincent’s home side.

Then he replied in a calm tone, “Alright, you can leave that place and come here.”

After saying that he ended the call. But right after he heard the sound of commotion. It’s like cheering.

“What happened?” Brent Dale grumbled. He then immediately dashes towards the arena.

Shortly after, he realized that Vincent Carey had arrived. Now it’s time for him to make an appearance. At the same time, he couldn’t help but think of Frank Lambert.

He has given some tasks to Frank earlier. Don’t know? Whether Frank has done it or not. If it’s done, then it will be impossible for Vincent to leave alive. At least, he would be crippled. And the future of the sub-taboo wizard will come to an end once and for all.

Thinking about it, a cruel glint flashed in his eyes. In that way, he can make himself popular before joining his mysterious organization. No organization wants the growth of sub-taboo wizards from rival forces.

That’s why Brent Dale decided to end Vincent Carey. He is already impressed by the attention created by the competition. His fame sure to skyrocket after the duel.

Participants area,

The big screen continues to show my image on the screen. Seeing that, I shifted my attention back to the exit.

Coincidently, I spotted a familiar person. My lips curved into a gentle arc. The person is none other than Frank Lambert.

A few minutes ago, I received a message from fatty saying that Frank was asking about me. Which further made my assumption strong that Frank is up to something fishy.

Noticing that he is walking in my direction. I shifted my attention back to the big screen. But my mind is occupied with something else. Right now every other student was seated in the spectator’s area.

Then why is he coming in this direction? My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. When Frank got closer, I observed his facial reaction. Frank’s expression is a bit solemn. This shows he is not interested in this duel.

On the other hand, Frank Lambert gently touched the small vial in his pocket. Then he spotted Vincent in his seat. Earlier, he wasted so much time waiting outside.

Thanks to the announcement now. He came inside quickly. Otherwise, he would have foolishly waited outside.

“Vincent, your time is coming to an end,” Frank Lambert sneered inwardly. He knows Brent Dale won’t stay silent like Danny Quinn. Brent Dale was daring enough to make some schemes before the duel.

Which shows the horror of that person. Where he and Danny Quinn mostly rely on their family’s decisions. Then he couldn’t help but slow down his movements when he reached closer to Vincent Carey.

His heart rate starts to beat faster. Now that no one is here. His actions will be seen by everyone. He doesn’t want to get caught in the end. He has to use the small vial very secretly.

Before coming here he had already thought of a solution.

His confidence rose after recalling it, and then without waiting further he walked hurriedly towards Vincent.

At the same time, Brent Dale entered the arena. He then immediately looked towards the participants’ area.

Seeing that Frank is approaching Vincent Carey, he laughed in his heart. Then he realized something, the media reporters were paying attention to those two.

Which is not good if the small vial got exposed. So he slowly walked forward and gently waved his hands at the crowds. Which instantly got the attention of others.

Unlike Vincent, he didn’t wear any mask on his face. So his face is recognised by everyone immediately. The big screen changes the next moment.

The image of Brent Dale showed on the screen.

On the other hand, Frank Lambert approached faster at the last moment.

[Ding! Warning! Warning! Warning]

Looking at the status panel that appeared in front of my eyes, I got up from my seat unconsciously and my expression changed drastically looking at Frank.

I understand there is something wrong with this guy. Otherwise, the system won’t take initiative to warn me. Then I decided to move away from him to make some distance.

This all happened in a blink of an eye. On the other hand, the crowd is focused on Brent Dale. Apart from a few majorities, they didn’t notice any strangeness in the participants’ area.

Frank Lambert burst into laughter, “Ha…Ha…Ha…”

“Vincent, I got a present for you.”

After saying that, he takes out the small vial from his pocket and opens it.

On the other hand, the system continues to warm me. Especially after seeing the strange veil in his hands. I immediately released my mana breath to move from this place.

When the vial was opened. I felt imminent danger.

The use of magic is strictly forbidden in public. But right now, I feel it’s the utmost right decision.

At the same time, the colorless powder quickly envelops the seating area. The smell quickly attacked Frank’s nostrils. He felt dizzy for a moment.

Swish!

On the other hand, I disappeared from the spot and appeared on the other side. But I feel something catching up.

Gasp!

The crowd finally realized something was wrong.

“What is going on there?”

“Look, someone is causing trouble to Vincent Carey.”

“Frank Lambert?”

At the same time, the big screen showed the image of Frank Lambert’s strange behavior.

Frank Lambert quickly placed the small vial back in his pocket. But he noticed the disappearance of Vincent at this moment.

“Where is he?” He started to look around. But he didn’t notice the colorless powder started to hurt his mind.

I stopped my movement and looked at Frank. I knew something deadly was released from the vial. This guy? Is he brain-dead or what?

Openly attacking me in front of the crowd.

Swish! Swish!

Two level-3 security guards appeared all of sudden. One appeared behind me and the other one appeared behind Frank. Both of them looked at each other for a moment.

Then the security guard checked me for any injury before the guards disappeared along with Frank. For a moment, I’m stunned. “That’s all?” I grumbled.

Why did they appear here in the first place? Then what about the small vial? The appearance of security guards caught me off guard.

Before I could think of anything else, the dangerous feeling came back once more. Then I moved towards the duel arena.

On the other hand, the level-3 security guards appeared outside of the arena. Frank Lambert revealed a triumphant smile on his face. He then quickly told them to leave.

Before executing his plan, he already bribed two of the guards.

Swish!

The two level-3 guards nodded their heads before leaving. They already got their benefits. So there is nothing more to do.

Right after they left, the Lambert family butler arrived at the spot.

He is completely worried. “Young master, what are you doing?”

He realized that the young master before him did something despite the family head’s strict refusal. He couldn’t help but feel alarmed. If the school authority were to come to know, then they will contact the family head for sure.
