Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 269 Brent Dale's True Face



Little Star Gate High School,

The atmosphere inside the arena is strangely quiet. After the announcement, the crowd didn't make any fuss. Everyone waited for an hour to finish.

At the same time, the news was circulating online. The one-hour free time has given people the opportunity to make a lot of comments about the duel. And some of the news channels even started a debate.

They want to keep engaging the viewers. Danny Quinn's earlier refusal was considered to be a strategic defeat by many wizards. In that way, both Brent Dale and Danny Quinn can keep their cards.

Vincent Carey's magic is already terrifying. Since the previous duel of his ended in seconds. Many people think that Vincent is hiding deep. Nobody knows the true extent of his strength.

Clinic,

For this competition, some medical mages were hired from outside. They were responsible for giving first aid treatment.

Victoria Shields is lying down in her bed inside one of the treatment wards. Currently, she is awake but she was not allowed to make any movements.

Many of her bones were broken. But fortunately, she got the treatment in time. Now she has to be hospitalized for a few weeks. She can go back to her normal life after the discharge.

Victoria recalled the last attack from Vincent Carey. She was completely caught off guard. Even though she wasn't able to escape unscathed. Feeling her current state, she feels distressed.

"I thought he was just an interesting newcomer. To think he can injure a level-2 wizard like me," She feels terrified in her heart.

Till now, she wasn't able to digest the fact that a newcomer might be a level-2 wizard like her. On top of it, he is a sub-taboo magic user.

So her loss was something to be expected. "What a terrific rate of progression?" She sighed inwardly.

She simply underestimated other wizards. Especially, her vision was always focused on the top 2 wizards. She didn't consider others as her rivals.

Maybe this attitude of hers led to defeat. She convinced herself. But again normally she should have stopped Vincent's attack. Because both of them are at level-2 rank.

Instead, she was completely powerless against the sub-taboo gravity magic. Is this some ability of sub-too magic? The more she thinks about it, the more she feels Vincent is unfathomable.

Then suddenly the image of Brent Dale and Danny Quinn comes to her mind. "Maybe Vincent has a chance to defeat those two," She grumbled.

If it was earlier, she would have considered it a joke. But right now after feeling her condition. She feels Vincent might defeat the other two wizards.

Thinking about it a hint of expectation rose in her heart.

Creak

This time, a nurse walked into the room. Seeing Victoria awake, She immediately asked, "How are you feeling?"

Hearing that Victoria twitched. But she calmly replied, "I'm fine. But I want to know what happened after my duel?"

The nurse's eyes lit up with surprise. Then she carefully explained the following incidents.

A few minutes later, a quick glint flashed in Victoria's eyes. "Danny Quinn, what a calculation?" She said in her heart.

She is surprised. Even at this time, Danny Quinn is acting in a supporting role for Brent Dale. She doesn't know what to say. She knew both Brent Dale and Danny Quinn were buddies.

But there should be some kind of competition between them. Danny Quinn's behaviour is suspicious. Victoria is worried. If there is no competition between them then there is a ghost.

Perhaps the two of them made some kind of deal between themselves. Thinking about it, her expression changes a little.

Her nurse noticed this, and she asked worriedly, "What happened?"

"Do you need something?"

Hearing that, Victoria feels troubled to ask.

"Well, I want to watch the next duel"

"Is there any way?"

Finally, Victoria expressed her wishes.

The nurse wasn't surprised by the request. Then she agreed to set up the projection screen in the ward.

...

Outside of school,

The dark league member Carlos loses his patience slowly. As time went on, he felt something bad was going to happen. Because apart from locating the target, he failed to collect the details about the old man's killer.

The enemy's power is already recognised by the branch head as level 5. But so far he hasn't seen anyone near that level. Apart from many level-3 and a few level-4 auras, he wasn't able to find the level-5 wizard.

Which is bothering him greatly. His inner thoughts were urging him to barge inside and slay the target. But due to the presence of the media, he can't do that.

Even a slight leakage of Information will cause great damage to the dark league organization. So he has no other choice but to wait for the target to leave the school.

...

Similarly,

John Meyers already boarded the train to reach the school. Simultaneously he arranged a few people to guard Vincent's family.

Inside the train,

John Meyers is watching a duel between Vincent and Victoria. A few seconds later, a quick glint flashed in his eyes. "Vincent has shown great progress lately." He said in his heart.

He knew it was not an illusion but Vincent's real strength. John is glad in his heart. Because the environment inside the special program is going to be tough.

Only by progressing steadily, you can handle the pressure. Then suddenly he thought of something. Some time ago he gifted a meteor rock to Vincent.

Coincidentally, he gained another rock in the meantime. He believes it has something to do with Vincent's improvement. So he decided to give this rock again.

He knows that the mage world is filled with secrets. Especially for mages like them, it is normal for them to have one or two secrets. And when it comes to sub-tabo wizards the secrets might be no less than them.

Thinking about the mage world, John sighed inwardly. People think talent is enough to reach the peak of the wizard path.

But it's completely wrong. After advanced rank, you need many opportunities to grow. Apart from talent, meditation methods and other resources. Wizards need to uncover the secrets of their own awakened magic power.

Only in this way can they reach the supreme rank and become the pillar of our wizardry world. Only the top 1% knows that outside of our wizard planet is not calm at all.

He doesn't know what is happening outside. But he had heard bits and pieces from the academy elders. Our planet needs more strong wizards to face the threat.

Thinking about it a look of yearning appeared in his eyes. It has been many years since he had progressed. His only opportunity now lies in the hands of Vincent Carey.

If Vincent can perform well in the special program division. Then he might be awarded needed resources. So considering the future, the meteor rock looks tasteless to him.

He hopes Vincent only gets strong hereafter. Because his future also lies with Vincent's progression.

...

(From MC's perspective)

Time passed in a blink of an eye,

The time for the next duel came. The crowd let out a roaring cheer after the announcement. Hearing that I slowly opened my eyes.

Feeling the atmosphere, I sighed inwardly. Then I glanced in the direction of Victoria's seat. A quick glint flashed in my eyes. "I hope she is alright," I grumbled.

Then retracting my gaze, I got up from my seat. It's not that I like her. But I don't want unnecessary trouble. Already I forged enmity with Frank Lambert.

And also I feel the stalker might be the backhand left by him. So before clearing out the ongoing troubles, I feel it's unwise to add a new one to the plate.

Especially the top 3 wizards must have a strong background behind them. So before joining the academy officially it's not good to tear off the face.

Then slowly I head towards the duel stage.

On the other hand, Danny Quinn rose from his seat. He feels everyone's gazes on him. Suddenly he heard a faint voice. It's none other than the voice of Brent Dale.

"CRIPPLE HIM"

Apart from him, no one was able to hear the voice. Danny Quinn sighed inwardly. A hint of pity rose in his heart in favour of Vincent Carey.

It's not good to be stared at by Brent Dale. If anyone could interest him then it only means a dead end.

With this instruction, Danny Quinn realized that Vincent had piqued Brent's interest. Then after nodding at Brent Dale, he walked towards the duel stage.

Seeing the back of Danny Quinn, Brent Dale laughed in his heart, "It's good to have someone under your command."

Then looking at Vincent Carey, he sneered inside, "Newcomers like him should know their place. Instead, he is challenging my place."

At first, he thought of observing the newcomer a little more. But after seeing their condition of Victoria, he feels it's better to avoid some variables.

If Vincent is crippled in this duel, then his victory in the final round is secured. After winning the competition, he can think of the next big plans.

When it comes to the ability of Danny Quinn. He didn't doubt him at all.
