Chapter 859: Part 2: Shocking the academy
From MC's perspective:
Sub-Taboo Hall,
When I walked in. Unsurprisingly, I spotted 2 people waiting for me.
Elder Galvin, Gilbert Reese, and Carolina Slate are present.
"Vincent, you are fine. That's a relief," Galvin said. At the same time, a complex glint flashes in his eyes. The past few days have been bad for him.
Vincent's return caused his usual self to return.
"Thanks, Elder, for your protection. Otherwise, I could have perished in the ambush," I said in a solemn tone.
Though I'm trying to ease the mood. But still, the words are fact.
"Don't mention it. Just sit down and talk about your experiences," Galvin said.
Hearing that I sat on the chair. Senior Gilbert and Sister Carolina are remaining silent.
"I heard your story from the dean. As well as from these two. It was unbelievable."
"To be honest, I was shocked when I heard your safe return last night. But the information was said by the dean. So I believed it."
"Now that I see you without any injury. It makes me wonder how you returned to the academy," Galvin said in a serious tone.
Gilbert Reese has the same thought in his head. Carolina was fine. She is not thinking too much about it.
On the other hand, I signed inwardly. I knew the made-up story was hard to believe. Other than that I can't justify my disappearance. Unless I want to expose the existence of the Gregor Mansion. It's not going to happen.
"Elder, I was unconscious all these days. I don't know about changes in the Adamant Canyon. When I gained consciousness yesterday. I found myself close to the Capital City."
"Then I covered my identity and reached the Capital Safely," I answered in a solemn tone.
Sigh!
Galvin let out a sigh.
"Let's put an end to this matter. What's your next plan?" Galvin asked.
Hearing that I asked, "What about the competition?"
At this time, Gilbert Reese opened his mouth to say, "Junior brother, as I told you last night. The internal competition was over."
"But the competition between the 3 academies was put on hold. Because of the Adamont Canyon changes," Gilbert added.
Hearing that, a hint of disappointment flashes in my eyes. I was hoping to get rich rewards. Now I don't know what will happen next.
"You guys don't worry. Soon, a meeting will take place between the Vice-dean of each academy. Then the issue will be discussed," Galvin said.
"What?"
"Vice-dean!" Gilbert was stunned.
Only Carolina and I are clueless. This is the first time I heard about the vice dean.
Since his mood returned to normal. He let out a chuckle before saying, "Every academy has a vice dean. It's just our Vice-dean likes to do foreign missions."
"The foreign missions take years or decades to complete. So rarely anyone has seen him inside the Academy," Galvin added.
Then a look of understanding dawned on me. The real strong people roam outside. This is what I'm planning to do. It's easier to collect resources from outside than to expect from the academy.
"Alright, I have a mission to do. I'm leaving, "After saying that Galvin stood up. Then he looks at Vincent and says again, "Vincent, your life is still under threat. Don't go outside of the academy for the time being."
Hearing that I don't know whether to laugh or cry. But still agreed to his words on the surface.
Swoosh!
The next second, Galvin disappeared from the spot.
"Then, I'm going as well. You guys can sit and talk," Gilbert said. Then he disappeared from the spot.
"Everyone is doing a mission apart from us," Carolina said.
"I'm different. I'm not allowed to do the mission," I replied.
"He...He...He..., both are the same," She said with a small laugh.
I shook my head before asking, "What happened in the academy during my absence?" Now the big wigs are gone. I can casually chat with her.
Carolina sighs before saying, "Did you forget about the Top 10 level-5 wizards?"
"Top 10 level-5 wizards," I recalled the ranking in my mind.
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.
"I remember clearly," I replied to her.
"Apart from Mike Curtis, everyone came to ask me about you," Carolina said.
Hearing that my eyes flickered. I wasn't surprised by Mike Curtis' attitude. But what about others? Was it a genuine concern or something else?
Meanwhile,
The news of Vincent's safe return quickly spread like wildfire. From outer wizards to high-ranking wizards everyone was shocked.
Mike Curtis in the Taboo Hall was shocked by the news. "He didn't die,'' he muttered to himself. When he first heard about Vincent's disappearance some time ago.
Everyone concluded that he was dead. Now he has mixed emotions in his heart. He knows about the development of the Adamont Canyon. He can't imagine himself in Vincent Carey's shoes.
That's why it's unbelievable to believe Vincent Carey returned to the academy.
Similarly,
Other 8 Core Wizards in the top 10 rankings have received the news as well. All of them are in shock and disbelief.
"He is a tough b@stard defeat. I wonder what's his strength right now," Pete, the Elemental Wizard left with complex emotions.
Everyone was preparing for the upcoming competition between the academy. But one person among them has gone through a life-and-death situation.
Vincent Carey's magic was second to Mike's. Now others are looking forward to a duel between these 2 in the future.
There is one more mysterious figure who is waiting for the news. The person is none other than Lara White. When she got the news of Vincent. She felt relieved and happy.
Both of them started the same. She always felt that there was only one person in the academy who could keep up with her. That person is no other than Vincent Carey.
Like others, she is also looking forward to seeing Vincent's strength.
