Chapter 172 Back To School

Chapter 172 Back To School

(From MC's Perspective)

I collapsed onto the bed due to exhaustion after retracting my thoughts from an online store. I immediately fell asleep as a wave of comfort washed over me.

The following morning,

I left for school early after eating breakfast. This time, I'm feeling a surge of confidence in my heart. I believe I am capable of handling any situation.

As I walked down the street, I remembered Mason Terrell's storage bracelet. I haven't looked into other metallic boxes yet. Several ideas come to mind. Finally, I resolved to check those items during my next visit to Claudia's gym.

Then I went online to check the availability of train tickets. If everything goes well, I'll be able to visit Claudia's gym and then return home in no time. I went to the ticket booking website's page.

My eyes widened in surprise as I noticed the availability of seats. It's not filled as I imagined. Then I didn't waste any time in reserving my seat. For wizards, the ticket price is actually quite low.

Because the currency for wizards and regular humans differs. The currency system for wizards is known as alliance points, while the currency system for the general human population is known as credit points.

One Alliance point is equivalent to 1000 credit points. So, in terms of normal human life, I actually feel richer. But the school fees are no laughing matter. To save money, both of my parents worked day and night.

I'd already decided to take care of my own expenses, including school fees. And, if I receive the scholarship, it will alleviate some of the financial burden.

Brian's image flashes before my eyes. I'm not sure what my older brother is up to these days. My curiosity about his magical academy grew. His magic academy is nothing like the usual big wigs. However, it remains a local tyrant for neighboring provinces.

I'm curious about what's going on inside his academy. Putting aside our differences, I need to talk to him. I'm looking for a channel where I can find magical items at a low cost.

I didn't realize I'd arrived at school until I was lost in my thoughts. I then walked towards the school gate, retracting my thoughts.

I went up to the waiting area as usual after walking inside. Earlier, I didn't pick up Lucas' calls because of a wilderness trip. Numerous thoughts come to mind.

"Did the school make any decisions about the new headmaster?" I grunted.

I sat in the chair after entering the waiting area. I have a hunch that something significant has occurred in these two days based on recent events.

I believe fatty will start blabbing about these things once he arrives. I closed my eyes and decided to wait. My thoughts wandered to the mana core region as I closed my eyes. I probed my own gravity mana core with mental strength.

Gray colored clouds can currently be seen occupying my mana core space. These clouds will materialize to form the mana core only after a series of breakthroughs in wizard level.

I can feel gray clouds gathering together to form one massive cloud right now. These large clouds will eventually condense to form a core. I retracted my mental strength after inspecting the current state of the mana core.

I felt a sense of accomplishment in my heart as I watched my progress. Orange-level talent is no laughing matter. It is truly working wonders. I'm looking forward to seeing my faster progress later.

After 5 minutes,

Fat Lucas was running towards me when I noticed him. When he saw me, he broke out in a wide grin.

"What happened to you these days, Brother Vincent? "He inquired.

When I heard that, I politely lied and said, "I went to my relative's house."

After that, I got up from my seat, and we both walked towards the A Rank building.

Fatty Lucas gave Vincent a smirk. He didn't even believe what he was hearing. But he can't make Vincent say anything if he doesn't want to.

When I noticed Fatty's strange stare, I chuckled and said, "Let's go."

We were both stopped by a few annoying people as we approached the lift after arriving at the A-rank building.

"Wait!" A voice called out from behind me.

Fatty and I turn around to face the crowd. As I looked at Chrissy Heart, Bruce Hill, and Mark Spears, my lips curved into arcs. We were all dressed in our school uniforms with blue mage robes on top.

Chrissy Heart's face appeared expressionless when I saw her. But I get the impression from her eyes that she intends to murder me. Only Bruce and Mark appear to be angry.

Bruce Hill was the one who yelled at me. "I really don't want to send you to the infirmary," I said with a smile.

Three of their faces twisted when they heard that. I gently reminded them of their past anguish. I had hoped that they would change their ways.

But, after the star battle platform, I realized something. These people will bother me like bugs unless I demonstrate complete dominance.

Especially since they received backing from Liam Barker. First, I need to thrash him. My eyes have a slight glint as I made up my mind to do that.

I'm already planning on taking on Liam in combat class. The issue is that combat classes were not held on a regular basis. The majority of them took place on weekends.

As a result, it will not be possible today. I'll have to wait a few more days before I can teach them proper lessons.

At the same time, Lucas said, "I heard our school infirmary has been vacant recently. Why don't you go there?" He said it sarcastically.

Mark Spears' face hardened as he heard Fatty's words. Because Vincent is strong, he can put up with Vincent's insults. But he's not going to put up with this fat guy. He felt an overwhelming desire to severely beat him down.

Bruce's fist was clenched. He recalls the first conflict between the two groups. He was the one who had suffered the majority of them.

Chrissy Heart bit her pink lips in rage. She can't stand it when Lucas curse her. She recalls the last time she was beaten. Her bones were completely crushed. It took a long time for me to recover from that trauma.

But she didn't act stupidly in front of Vincent. They aren't even accompanied by Liam. At the moment, none of them have the courage to face Vincent alone. If the fight breaks out, three of them will suffer as they did the last time.

She gave Bruce a stern look and said, "Don't make any hasty decisions. Wait for them to go."

When Bruce heard this, he nodded but said nothing. Vincent's magic was also known to him. It always made him feel dreadful.

"At the very least, we can do something about fat @rd," Mark commented from nearby.

Chrissy replied, "Not now," shaking her head in disapproval.

Fatty Lucas laughed, "Ha... Ha... Ha..." "Turtles."

I got black lines in my brow after hearing Fatty's contagious laughter. This individual! Don't expect me to come to your aid every time. Fatty's words only enrage them.

I dragged him to the lift right away. "I can handle them," I said as the lift's door closed. "So, how about you? Don't come to me crying if you get ganged up on later," I added.

"He. He... He... Brother.I got excited all of a sudden," Fatty said, smiling.

SIGH

After hearing that, I let out a small sigh. I suddenly realized something when the lift began to move.

"Did anything interesting happen recently, by the way?" I inquired.

I know Lucas is intelligent enough to understand without me explicitly stating it.

Then, with a wide grin on his face, Lucas said, "So, I heard some strange things. But I'm not convinced."

"Hmmm," I said, raising my brows in surprise, "what is it?"

They arrived on our floor before Lucas could respond.

The door creaks open.

We walked back to our class after exiting.

Fatty felt it was inappropriate to speak in front of the students. This information is particularly pertinent to the school administration.

"We'll talk about it at lunch," Lucas said.

I nodded in agreement, but my curiosity was piqued. When he's talking to me, he usually doesn't mind the people around us. "Interesting," I muttered.

Then we went into class. I discovered that half of the students had arrived. We both sat in our seats quickly. Chrissy soon joined the other two students in class. The trio didn't even look our way; instead, they sat in their seats.

In my eyes, a curious glint appears.

Liam Baker was obviously up to something the last time when I saw him. However, because of new developments at the time, His plans must have failed. I'm curious whether he'll resume his plans.

It's important to keep an eye on him. Especially the people with whom he converses. Then I turned my attention to the students. Students entered the classroom one by one. Except for the top wizards, the majority of the class was filled within a few minutes.
