Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

By hearing Brain’s voice, his father also set his gaze on the projection screen.

Certainly, the injured person seems to be a beggar. Then what is the kid doing near him? Did he harm him? But the news reporters were only speculating it but there is no evidence for their assumption.

For this only Police Mage officials could answer. And at this point of time, the officials seemed to be talking with Vincent and then suddenly they went away with the old beggar. He couldn’t make any heads or tails for this. But he signed in relief as the Police Mage officials no longer found fault in Vincent.

Which means Vincent didn’t injure the old man. Then Brad suddenly saw his son Vincent walk away from the spot immediately. He understands that Vincent is coming home. And the reporters tried to follow him but Vincent slipped away.

Brian Carey doesn’t know what to make of his younger brother’s actions. Since no reporting is done hereafter, Brian turned off the small projection.

Then he takes a glance at father Brad for some comment. But he seems to be contemplating something. Knowing his son’s gaze, Brad said, “We will have a good talk with him. Once he gets back home.”

Glancing around the surroundings, Brad answered, “Do we have an extra runic disk?” It’s very tiring to watch the news on a small projection screen.

Brian doesn’t know whether to laugh or cry. It’s good that mum is not here. Otherwise he can’t handle two of them at the same time. “Phew!” Shaking his head, he began to adjust the displaced sofa.

After things were arranged back to normal, his father Brad Carey sat on his couch presumably waiting for his son’s arrival.

Brian went away to see whether there is any extra runic desk inside their store room. He can’t wait for Vincent to get back home and explain the matter. The news reporters were talking about some speculation. But they don’t know the truth themselves.

(From MC perspective) 𝗼𝐯𝗹．𝐞𝘁

“Poison Dagger” I muttered while walking down the road. Their calculation is too fast. I’m doing a part time job. If they are targeting me based on this then it’s terrible. I didn’t even offend them in any way.

It’s really terrifying suddenly to be gazed at by rogue mages. Earlier, We didn’t receive any intel regarding my assassination. This sudden attack shows certainly there is some intelligence failure on our side. I hope Captain Tyler will be safe on their side.

Then I raised my head to look forward. In a few meters, I’ll reach my home. So I put these thoughts behind my mind for a while. After taking a few turns, I opened the gate and entered inside.

“Creak” the main door opens,

As I took my first step inside, suddenly my heart palpitates, I raised my head look at the source.

“Dad?” I uttered in a solemn tone.

What’s wrong with him? I can see he is in anger and especially the anger is directed at me. With a puzzled gaze, I went past him towards upstairs.

Brad Carey, who was patient with his son, can’t wait to reach the top of this matter. When he sees his son is entering home unknowingly Brad gets angry. But what was more frustrating for him than his son Vincent, instead of greeting him, he directly headed towards his room.

Before Vincent could reach the stairs, Brad called out to his son, “Vincent, I want to talk with you.”

At this time, hearing his father’s voice. Brian also came out of his room. Upon seeing Vincent, he hurriedly went towards his father and stood beside him.

“Hmmm” I was taken back by my father’s sudden calling.

Then my expression turned unsightly seeing my brother standing beside my father. What’s up with him? Did he tell my father? I halted my footsteps and turned towards them.

I couldn’t help but think about the reason.

I asked , “What is it dad?”

I didn’t make any expression, I maintained a poker face.

“Did you attack the old beggar?” Father Brad Carey questioned with scruitning eyes.

Old beggar? My pupils jumped after hearing his words. How does he know? Then I realized, it must be the work of those local news reporters. But I didn’t fret, no one knew what had happened. I injured the old man before anyone could see.

Having confidence, I looked at their gaze and added, ” When I was coming towards our home, I saw the old beggar was in an injured state. But nobody came to help the old beggar so I called the local police for help. ”

What I said was absolutely a complete lie. But I’m sure even those police officials won’t reveal the news. Because the identity of the old beggar is confidential. Even if the media tries to get some information they will meet with failure in the end.

My sudden answer caught them off guard.

Brad Carey’s wholeself suddenly got relaxed. His son did humanitarian work, but they got worried for nothing. This time his anger fades away and he looked at his son Vincent with a smile.

At this time Brian asked in confusion, “Then who injured the old beggar?”

I sighed and replied, “I don’t know? That’s why I called Police Officials. Only they can see and do something about it.”

Brad Carey nodded in understanding. At the same time, Brian also stopped asking questions further.

Seeing the two of them didn’t have any doubts left, I smiled and said,” Okay, I’m going to my room to get freshened”

“Okay, You did good by calling the officials straight away.” Brad Carey said with a smile and gestured to him to go to his room.

Beside, Brian also didn’t have to say anything. This sudden incident made them forget their initial conversation.

…

Two hours later,

The Police Mages reach their Red City Headquarters with the prisoner. After stepping inside, they didn’t waste any time. The First thing they did was to imprison the old beggar inside the underground cell.

The Prison Cell is literally constructed in the basement.

The old man Marcus is still unconscious. After locking up him in the cell, Mr. Laurenz looks at the surroundings. There is only one person beside him, the Prison Guard Eanbald.

From the beginning to end, the stalwart figure didn’t make any sound. He stood upright and watched the actions of every prisoner in the cell.

This underground prison had only 20 cells. This is not the main cell built for rogue mages. This underground prison cell was built for some emergency cases. And right now the prison cell is used to lock up those rogues kept for interrogation.

Mr. Laurenz looked at the nearby prisoners with a frowning face. He didn’t have much of an idea about the other prisoners. Since every cell is separated by an isolated magic block. It’s impossible to converse or look at each other.

So he is not worried about that. His mind is occupied with Captain Tyler’s mission. Right now Captain Tyler with his team is going to confront the Poison Dagger rogues. So he doesn’t want any of them to know the existence of the old beggar, including some of their police officials.

After taking rounds for a while, He left the underground prison cell with the Prison Guard Eanbald.

The Prison Guard Eanbald is a middle aged man with a stalwart body. He is a Level 3 Defensive Mage. Unlike other physique variants, his magic power forms defensive silver armour around his body. Which increases his defensive capability.

With his power, even level 4 Mage can’t injure him. So there is no possibility of prisoners breaking out from the cell.

After coming out of the underground prison cell, they head towards Mr. Eanbald’s cabin.

Mr. Eanbald’s room is situated at the last end of the first floor.

“Creak” the door opens.

Both of them took their seats. “Mr. Laurenz, You can talk here. No one will eavesdrop on our conversation. The room’s wall is enchanted with multiple spells.” Mr. Eanbald said with a deep voice. There is no hint of emotion he can see on his face.

Mr. Laurenz ‘expression turned solemn. He said, “The identity of the old beggar is confidential. So I don’t want his information to be recorded for a while.”

Mr. Eanbald frowns a little, This is the first time he is facing such a request. But he also knows about Mr. Laurenz. Although Mr. Laurenz is a level 2 Mage. The cases he dealt with in his career so far can’t be looked upon.

Then he looked at him and replied, “If Mr. Laurenz says it’s a confidential matter. Then it must be a serious case. So, Don’t worry, I’ll wait for a while.”

Then he added, ” I will also keep my eye on the old beggar. If he shows any odd behavior, I’ll call you.”

Mr. Laurenz sighed in relief at his words. He had never expected the Prison Guard to be easy going. He thanked him and left the headquarters straightaway.
