Chapter 871: Competition day (Wizard Heart)
From MC’s perspective:
The Capital City, the night before the competition,
Apart from ordinary wizards from other parts of the country, unknown and suspicious people are lurking outside of the Capital.
They are none other than the lower members of said league. They are here to collect the information and share it back with the higher-ups.
Among the suspicious people, there is also another group. Unlike low-key Dark League members. They look like normal citizens and are having conversations with other people.
But each of them has come with one purpose. Which is to take the head of Vincent Carey. These people are evil wizards from the Shadow Skull.
When the Shadow Skull released the mission. Many of the members had been rejected. But still, there was no lack of abnormal evil wizards. Their mind works differently despite the danger ahead.
So the mission was taken by such people. Now they have gathered outside of the City Gate. It’s the biggest challenge for citizens outside of the Capital to enter the city this time.
It’s even more impossible for the Shadow Skull Killers to enter the city openly. So they are waiting for a good opportunity.
Dark League HQ:
Inside the black tower, the old man shrouded in shadows is looking at the messenger scroll.
[Waiting for the good news!]
The old man’s eyes flash with a glint. The message was from the Supreme Wizard of the Meteor Country. It’s not a nice feeling to hold the tail of the tiger.
He knows if this attempt fails, then this person will retaliate severely.
“Harumph”
“I don’t think anyone can survive the attack of the Dark Lord. Especially that kid. He will die for sure,” He said with a snort. He is very confident of the dark lord’s magic power.
If any Magic Lord or Dark Lord releases their full magic power, it is enough to destroy a huge city like a Capital City.
So he doesn’t think there will be any chances for that kid to escape. The things that happened at the Adamont Canyon might be abnormal. But it won’t happen again.
The old man’s eyes turned cold.
“That kid escaped because of a ruin and the gravity treasure. This time there will be no ruin inside the Capital for him to disappear,” The old man said in his heart.
…
The following day,
I woke up early. After doing the morning routine. I started doing meditation.
After a few hours, I walked out of the bath. Then I changed to the academy uniform. I stood in front of the mirror and started combing my hair.
There was no excitement on his face. I don’t know why I have this feeling that something is going to happen.
I had this same feeling before going to the Adamont Canyon. At that time, I brushed it off slightly. But then the events that followed have shocked the whole country. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
But the chances of courting similar events in the Capital are minimal. Yet my senses are telling me otherwise.
Especially after consuming a hundred heart fruits. The feelings have become more real.
Sigh!
I let out a long sigh. After combing my hair, I sat on the sofa. I’m not afraid of the trouble. It’s just that I use the Gregor Mansion to hide during every major attack.
Then people will be suspicious. The Adamont Canyon incident has already brought too much attention to me.
People on campus mention Adamont Canyon whenever they see me. Some even suspect I have amassed a fortune in that secret ruin.
Since it’s a secret ruin related to the Gravity Magic. It was of no use to others. So no one bothered me. Otherwise, people would have made it difficult to survive in the academy.
“I hope I won’t be forced to use the Gregor Mansion,” I said to myself.
After gaining some clarity in my thoughts, I left the room.
Soon, I reached the Sub-Taboo Hall. When I walked in. I saw Carolina, Senior Gilbert were there.
“Are you ready to leave?” Gilbert asked.
Hearing that I nodded my head before asking, “What about Elder Galvin?”
Swoosh!
Another figure appeared in the room all of a sudden. The person is none other than Elder Galvin. My eyes spotted him even before he could reveal his figure.
At the same time, Galvin’s eyes flash with a surprise.
He saw the reaction of Vincent. The response was faster than before. He immediately understood that Vincent had consumed the Hundred Heart Fruits.
“Vincent, do your best. You have already raised the reputation of the Sub-Taboo Hall. If you do well in the competition, the reputation of our academy will soar,” Galvin said.
Hearing that, I smiled and said, “I will do my best.”
“Alright, let’s go and send you off. Other council elders are waiting at the entrance,” Galvin said.
Hearing that Senior Gilbert and Sister Carolina decided to come as well.
After leaving the Sub-Taboo Hall, we walked towards the entrance.
When we got there I saw other wizards on the top 10 list are there including the level-6 wizards. My eyes swept across other level-5 wizards.
Top-10 [Level-5 Wizards]
1. Mike Curtis -Taboo Hall.
2. Vincent Carey- Sub-Taboo Hall.
3. Pete – Elemental Hall.
4. Rayon – Mechanical Hall.
5. Jennie – Transformation Hall.
6. Kurtz – Power Hall
7. Aaron – Bloodline Hall.
8. Luxor – Weapon Hall.
9. Miranda -Unique Hall.
10. Lin – Elemental Hall
When I’m looking at others. They are also looking at me. My gaze collided with Mike Curtis. He revealed a cold smile on his face.
Ignoring him, I met other’s gazes directly.
At the same time, Elder Galvin is talking to other council elders. Senior Gilbert found level-7 wizards from another hall.
They are also here to send off the hall members.
Carolina Slate found her friends as well.
Suddenly, I found a fierce gaze on me.
When I turned around, I saw someone from level 6 looking at me. She is none other than Stella Glover.
“Why is she looking at me?” I asked myself.
