Chapter 175 Part 2: Vincent Vs Easton
(From MC's Perspective)
Instead of Liam Baker, Easton Brown approached me. There's no need to guess; he's clearly coming to challenge me. My lips curved into a gentle arc as I considered how to make a fool of him.
"Are you Vincent Carey?" Easton Brown was curious. he realizes he's asking a stupid question. But this is the first time he is speaking with Vincent. so he doesn't know how to strike a conversation first.
"No," I said as I turned to face them.
Easton Brown was surprised, then embarrassed. He realizes Vincent is making fun of him on purpose.
"I know you were Vincent Carey. And I've heard you're tough. So I'd like to test my abilities against yours," Easton said with a smile.
Despite this, he secretly wishes Vincent would lose his cool.
When I heard that, I looked over at the fatty beside me. We both burst out laughing. The sight of Easton Brown's smile faded. He had a glum expression on his face as he looked at us.
This is exactly what I desired. This guy truly believes I will respond to his challenge. I knew he'd be a good opponent after seeing his status. But I don't want to fight him right now because of my future plans.
Easton had finally come to believe that he was being looked down upon. His blood boils with rage. Veins began to appear on his brow. He now understands why Liam desired to harm Vincent Carey.
He is a newcomer, but he did not even acknowledge the senior students.
Liam Baker, on the other hand, was keeping a close eye on the entire situation. When he noticed Vincent and Lucas making fun of Easton, he realized his plan had failed.
But then his face changes to a sly smile. Because Vincent Carey has now offended someone else. Easton will cause them more trouble in the coming days, he knows.
"How come you're laughing?" Easton Brown was furious. He takes a slow step towards Vincent Carey.
Hearing his words, I suppressed my laughter and said, "I've been in class A1 for a week. And you're expecting me to fight you? Are you insane or what?"
I used a firm tone this time. I'm hoping he gets it and leaves this place. I'm not sure what Liam did to persuade him. But if he crosses the line, I'll have to devise a strategy to make him understand.
"You." Easton yelled angrily as he pointed his finger at me. The issue was that he couldn't refute the newcomer's claims. If Combat Teacher Freeman hears it, he will lose his face.
As a result, he is unable to continue the conversation. He realizes that he came here to provoke this person now he has been schooled instead. He clenched his teeth in rage.
A few students returning from break noticed these two. They immediately gathered to watch the fun.
Easton Brown's expression darkened as he realized his classmates were watching. He didn't want this issue to spread. So he made the decision to deal with Vincent outside.
He snorted and said, "Harrumph." He immediately left the location. He didn't forget to look at Vincent before leaving.
I laughed as I noticed Easton getting his nose cut and walking back.
"Ha...Ha...Ha...Brother, you solved it very easily," Lucas laughed quietly.
I nodded when I heard that. But, given Easton Brown's disappearance, I believe he will return.
"Let's go to class," I uttered. After saying that, I returned to class with Lucas.
…
Liam, on the other hand, had already returned to class, after seeing that it wasn't going anywhere. He hoped for an immediate clash but like always he met with disappointment. He then went back to his seat.
Liam was startled to notice an intense stare from behind him.
Chrissy Heart and others were looking at him with a puzzled expression. He suddenly realized that these three people had to have witnessed that minor incident.
When he realized this, he was very disappointed. They are not required to be involved in this matter. Because Liam is already aware that these three had a falling out with Vincent Carey.
If the class teacher notices them arguing with Vincent, he will be the one to be reprimanded. As a result, he was unaffected by their curious stare.
Seeing as Chrissy Heart and others are at a loss for words they can't make Liam say anything if he doesn't want to.
At the same time, Easton Brown entered the classroom, his face solemn. Liam smiled on the inside when he saw his appearance. Outside, however, he wore an unflattering expression.
He rose from his seat and approached Easton. "I thought the newcomer only didn't respect me, but it looks like he didn't even consider you much of an opponent." Liam said this with a blank expression on his face.
Easton Brown's face darkened when he heard that. He looked Liam in the eyes and said, "I'll take care of him later. So you don't have to be concerned."
Hearing that, Liam laughed in his heart, but remained calm on the outside and replied, "I know you will take care of him; fighting against power-type wizards is not easy even for top rankers."
"But remember not to get caught by the school's security guard," Liam added. They will not be merciful."
Easton's eyes light up with a quick glint.
"Why do I get the impression he's had a previous experience?" Easton Brown thought to himself, then nodded at him. Easton Brown needs some alone time right now, so he went to his seat.
He needed to think about how he was going to take care of Vincent Carey now, so he sat back in his seat and looked towards the entrance.
Vincent and Lucas entered a few seconds later. Easton's eyes became enraged when he saw this. He knows Liam is using him against Vincent deep down.
Nonetheless, Vincent's demeanor irritated him greatly. Unless he thrashes Vincent, his heart will not be at ease.
Following that, various thoughts arise. Easton Brown realized what Liam reminded him of: thrashing Vincent on the school grounds is bad. If school officials find out, he could be expelled.
Vincent, as a sub-taboo magic user, is also likely to have joined a good organization. It is not wise for his future if they are aware of a matter.
Finally, he decided to confront Vincent outside of the school grounds. At the same time, Easton decided to keep distance from Liam Baker. He is extremely uneasy speaking with him.
Easton made the decision not to tell Liam until he had completed his plan.
…
The day before,
Headquarters of the police wizards,
After a long time, Leon Willy opened his eyes. He was struck hard before going unconscious. His heart was boiling with rage as he slowly remembered what had happened.
Since he was imprisoned here. He occasionally noticed the movements of a level-5 wizard outside his prison cell.
He assumed one of them had heard his scream the previous time. He muttered under his breath, "Hateful."
His mana circulation is now restricted. Previously, he could only use a small portion of his mental power. However, greeting a hard hit made him suffer even more. If it hadn't been for this level-5 artifact, which had frozen his wrists. He will not hesitate to blow himself up.
That alone has the potential to kill any wizards who are present in this building. A small smile appeared on his face as he reflected on that grand spectacle. But it's a shame. These old sly foxes will not allow him to do so.
Leon is well aware that everyone is suspicious of him. It's already a miracle that they are keeping him in this prison cell rather than killing him right away. Leon sneered from within. He would not respond to the police wizards no matter what.
He was lost in his thoughts when he heard footsteps approaching his prison cell. Leon Willy assumed it was another level-5 wizard. They make the rounds now and then. "@rd," he muttered as he closed his eyes.
He decided to put on a show. So that he can avoid another random attack.
The sound of footsteps grew louder as the seconds passed. He heard several footsteps at the same time. He noticed that there were more people this time. "Could it be someone else?" He reflected to himself.
The three individuals soon arrived in front of the heavily fortified prison cell. Billy Woods, Dale Berg, and Eva Rich were among them.
Two level-5 wizards and one level-3 wizard decided to question convict Leon Willy right away.
Dale Berg acted quickly to open the prison gate.
However, Leon sensed the presence of two level-5 wizards. Leon Willy shivered on the inside. He has a sudden feeling that something bad is going to happen to him.
Outside, when Dale Berg acted, a magical circle in the shape of a runic pentagram lit up immediately from the prison door.
Dale Berg saw this and used his mental strength to deactivate the runic pentagrams. With his mental sense, he immediately touched one of the runic signs. As a result, the magic circle was deactivated.
You can easily understand the grade 5 magic circle if you have a medium level of expertise in the subject of runes.
A slight glint flashes in wizard Billy Wood's eyes as he observes Dale Berg's quick operation. In his opinion, there has been some progress. Normally, Dale Berg would take his time analyzing. But he's quick this time.
Every day, the magic circle is arranged in a different pattern for security reasons. Wizard Billy looked at him with a different gaze this time.
