Chapter 120 How To Kill Jake?
(From MC's POV)
Little Star Gate High School-Red City,
Combat Class,
Looking around the group near me, I found no new faces in the group. These guys were standing here from the beginning, just like me.
"What is it then?" I grunted.
The next second, I felt like a thunderbolt hit my brain. A couple of minutes ago, I realised something. Someone went past us while we were having a conversation.
"Who is that guy?" I mumbled under my breath.
I just noticed the silhouette, but I didn't recognise the guy.
Yup, fatty Lucas might have seen this guy. Realizing this, I turned towards Lucas and asked, "Lucas, do you remember the guy who went past us a couple of minutes ago?"
Seeing Vincent's serious expression, Lucas understands his sudden change of actions. "So he is looking for that guy?" "In his heart," Lucas said.
In reply to his question, Lucas Brad nodded and answered, "Yeah, I know him." He is ranked 5th in our class. Level-1 Soil Wizard Jake House. "
"Jake House?" I uttered.
Seeing Vincent's reaction, Lucas thought of a possibility. "Could he be going to challenge the rank of 5th wizard?" Fatty Lucas muttered to himself.
"No way!" Fatty Lucas shakes his head in denial.
He knows Vincent's character. Vincent won't act unless he is 100% sure about his strength.
While Lucas Brad was lost in his thoughts,
on the other hand, Vincent
So he is that guy, Jake House. I finally found him. Why is he ranked among the top 5groups?
I looked at his pale expression. From neither angle, this Jake guy doesn't look like a powerhouse at all.
In order to confirm, he is the one who has 5 elemental gems on him. I must move closer towards him.
I walked towards Jake's house, and I decided to stand beside him.
Fatty Lucas was dumbfounded, looking at Vincent. "Why is he walking towards him?" Lucas said to himself.
His heart skips a beat thinking about his earlier assumption. As a result, he closes in on him.
Jake House was standing in relief after moving away from Frank Lambert.
On the other hand, the combat teacher convinced other wizards. In order to not waste further time, the two wizards entered a combat platform for a duel.
They were ranked 26th and 27th, respectively.
But other classmates were not interested in this duel. They were simply killing time by waiting for the classes to be over.
I halted my footsteps after walking a little bit closer towards him. At the same time, confirmation rang in my mind.
"Ding!" Host, 5 elemental gem-a super relic is detected]
["Ding!" The host can use this super relic to improve the talent by one whole grade.]
I heard a similar voice of the system in my mind. In the next second, I revealed a happy smile on my face. So, right now, the super relic is in Jake House's hands.
While I was pondering, Fatty also walked towards me.
Seeing his dumbfounded expression, I gestured for him to stand beside me.
Obviously, I'm not going to say anything to Fatty. It's best to tell him some lies later.
Next, my eyebrows raised in tension. I need to figure out how to get the super relics from his hands.
"Does this guy know about the super relic?" A question comes to my mind.
There were lots of questions, but it's impossible to ask Jake House directly about it.
I guess I'll have to do it the same way I did before, by looting?
Even looting won't be easy when it comes to this guy. He is ranked 5th in this class.
I need to know his details. "System, probe Jake House's details," I told the system.
["Ding!" The host's voice is recognised]
["Ding" The command is 100% executed]

1. The Land Slide 2. The Soil Bubble [Mental Method—Soil Manipulation Method (Earth Grade)]
My pupils constrict, seeing his powerful attributes. This guy, is this what looks like pretending?
His timid nature simply fools everyone.
Jake's talent also shows double, which is one rank higher than mine. He has an earth-grade mental method for practice.
His spells were also powerful. I can understand his first spell landing slide, which is a formidable attacking spell. The second one is the soil bubble, which is similar to a water bubble.
Same spell technique, but it can be used for different elements.
This guy fools everyone with his outer appearance. People will blow their minds if they come to know about his real strength.
His attributes show that Jake is close to getting a breakthrough. I bet in one year all of his main four attributes will reach 100.
Once he has completed another condition, which is to have his mana core reach 100%. Jake House will get a smooth breakthrough to reach level 2.
After seeing his powerful attributes, I dropped my plan of fighting against him. It's impossible to confront Jake in a direct way. He can smash me with his physique's strength alone.
If he is ranked 5th, then what about the other four? Terrible! With my current talent, it's impossible to reach their status in a few years.
Seeing Jake's talent, I think the top 4 must also have similar or higher talent.
I have never felt this powerless before. Even in Class A2 I was okay. This revelation reminds me of my old couch potato days.
After calming down my nerves, I made a firm decision in my heart. If not by direct means, then I will use shady means.
I'm bound to get a super relic in my hands. A ruthless glint flashes in my eyes after gaining some clarity.
Next, I didn't stand here anymore. I patted Fatty to follow me towards the other end. I don't want to get recognised by Jake House yet.
If he finds something suspicious, then it will hinder my later plans.
No one noticed Vincent's strange behaviour as everyone was busy watching the boring duel.
As I came to my previous spot, I heard Fatty's question, "Brother Vincent, What are you doing? "
I made up a lie and answered, "I was checking whether anyone was monitoring us or not."
A sudden realisation dawned upon Lucas Brad. He understands why his brother acted like that. Both of them had finished their duel.
Later, they will surely attract a lot of talk.
Realizing this, he gave a thumbs up to Vincent and commented, "Good Brother, you are smart as always."
To that, I shake my head & set my eyes on the duel. But internally, I'm making plans.
I have old man Marcus Egger's storage bracelet in my hands. Among some relics, I previously found some unknown items.
If there is some poison amongst the stuff, then it will help my plans. I had already decided it was impossible to get the super relic from Jake without killing him.
If there is no poison amongst the old man's stuff, then it's going to be difficult to kill him.
Right now, I do not have any other connection except the police organisation. I sighed, thinking of Captain Tyler's situation.
For the first time, I'm feeling sorry for him. If he is alive and good, I can use him to get some poison for me.
What to do? My only contact doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. Apart from him, Alan Pitts has already made things clear. He fired me on behalf of his captain.
"Damn it! I never thought Alan Pitts' actions would hinder my plan now. " I cursed him in my heart.
I rubbed my forehead in tension. What are other ways?
Suddenly, images of old man Marcus getting arrested flash before my eyes. I also remembered the wizard named Laurenz.
The next moment,
I grinned evilly, thinking about a good plan in my mind. Someone from Poison Dagger tried to assassinate me. How come these police wizards didn't update me on anything?
He... he... he
I will use my life-threatening situation as an opportunity to visit Police Headquarters. Then I must meet with Mr. Laurenz and ask him for some type of compensation.
For compensation, I will request some recorded mental attacks of level 2 or level 3 wizards, or I will ask them for some powerful poison for personal use.
After thinking about my plan, I let go of my worries. This plan of mine seems feasible. No one will question my visit to Police Headquarters, including Alan Pitts.
Until then, I hope the super relic remains in the same place. If this Jake guy moves it somewhere or consumes it for personal use, then it's going to be even more difficult to get my hands on it.
So it's better to visit Police Headquarters tomorrow morning as soon as possible.
While I was in deep thought, the combat class came to an end. Yet the duel is still going on. Seeing that, the combat teacher stopped the match and asked them to continue the duel in the next combat class.
In a few minutes, we left the class along with everyone.
