Chapter 178 Easton Brown’s Bold Declaration
(From MC's Perspective)
Time passes,
I avoided meeting Easton Brown the following day because I acted according to plan. Easton Brown tried to confront me after school everytime, but I quickly returned home even before he arrived.
It irritated Liam and his friends. Because I knew their plan, their every attempt to harm me was futile. This situation will last until Thursday.
Friday morning,
After breakfast, I left earlier for school. Aside from avoiding Easton and Liam these days, I've been concentrating on practicing gravity ark mental method.
By next week, my gravity core formation will have increased by 1%. I will formally challenge the top ten wizards at that time. But today, all I need to do is suppress Easton Brown in front of everyone.
My lips curled into a gentle arc. Earlier, I expected it would take some planning to avoid him. But that guy was a moron. To thwart his plan, all of this caused me to leave school before him.
I reflected on the previous day's events as I walked down the street. Fortunately, I've accomplished my goal by successfully avoiding them thus far. However, there is now a combat class. As I considered it, a cold glint flashed in my eyes.
"I also heard our school's new headmaster was appointed," I grumbled. I'm not sure if there will be any changes to the combat class. They took Judy Owens the last time to form a new special class.
This is also a fascinating development. School administration also kept the information about special classes hidden. Even Fatty was unable to gain access to the news.
I then walked forward to the school, dispelling the thoughts. A few minutes later, I arrived at the school gate. I proceed to the waiting area where I usually wait for Lucas after entering.
I took a seat and looked around at the new students and staff. Students wearing Class B badges caught my eye. I haven't thought about my previous class in a long time.
I have no good memories from my previous class to cherish. All I can recall are former classmates' harsh bullying, ridicule, contempt, and disdain filled eyes.
It's a good thing I awakened my magical abilities during my second awakening; otherwise, I wouldn't be able to continue my studies.
I shift my focus away from those students. Fortunately, Dave Wise, a former classteacher, was a good soul in Class B6. He kept everyone in check and didn't let anyone go over the line.
My lips curved into a gentle arc unknowingly. It would be great if I could pay him a visit. But there is one thing that must be considered. Especially the new headmaster's demeanor.
I had nothing good to say about the previous headmaster. So I'm hoping that won't be the case with the new headmaster. I decided to watch his attitude before making any new moves.
When I was deep in thought, I heard footsteps close by. Then I cleared my mind and turned to face the person. It's, unsurprisingly, Lucas Brad.
"Can we go to a nice restaurant after school, Brother?" Lucas Brad inquired eagerly.
Hearing that, I got black lines across my brow. Being a second-generation child has its advantages. You are free to spend your money wherever you want. Not like me, with my pitiful savings.
"You don't have to pay anything, brother." He assured me that he would look after me. In other words, he is going to be my generous sponsor again.
I looked him in the eyes. Fatty, this guy is incredible. He has the same conversation every time when there is a combat class. He didn't say it out loud, but I knew he wanted me to protect him during combat class.
My face lit up with a huge smile. "Don't worry, today I decided to plummet Easton Brown," I said. "It will deter others from making plans against us," I added.
Lucas Brad's eyes widened in surprise when he heard that. He's been keeping a close eye on his brother's attitude toward Liam and his group. Especially with the addition of Easton Brown as a new threat. He has been more attentive. That young man is in 11th rank among wizards.
He understands why Vincent has stayed away from the gun so far. After all, the combat power of 11th rankers and wizards above 20th rank is vastly different.
But he couldn't help but be amazed as he heard his brother's words. He has seen Vincent's development since his awakening. Brother Vincent's gravity magic allows him to easily suppress mid-rankers such as Chrissy Heart, Bruce Hill, and Mark Spears.
As a result, he wasn't surprised. But it was Easton Brown's status as a Physique Wizard that took his breath away. He has no idea how his brother's magic will affect power wizards. Which piqued his interest. He is looking forward to this fight.
On the other hand, seeing fatty spacing out made me cough twice. "Cough" and "Cough"
"Ha...Ha...Ha... Sorry, I was lost in thought, brother "With a laugh, Lucas said.
"Brother, are you sure?" he asked. "That guy is a power type wizard."
Instead of responding, I gave him a small smile. Then we both walked to our classroom.
We sat in our seats leisurely after entering our class. I took a look around at my classmates. I'm not sure why, but I get the impression that everyone is excited about the combat class. Nobody was satisfied with the last Star Battle Platform's situation. Mr. Eric also avoided answering the question about that.
A silhouette entered the class unexpectedly, which drew my attention. Victoria Shields walked into the class with two female classmates. When they appeared, the atmosphere calmed down for a brief moment.
Nobody spoke until she walked back to her seat and sat down.
When I saw that, I thought to myself, "What momentum!" Her popularity skyrocketed after the star battle platform duel.
Seeing this momentum made my heart slightly flutter. She is unlike anyone else; talent, background, and magical power. Her abilities are all exceptional.
The peaceful atmosphere abruptly returned to normal. This time, I noticed Easton Brown walking into class with Liam Baker.
I couldn't help but wrinkle my brows when I saw that. Liam appears to be impatient; aside from Easton, he was the most desperate.
Unknowingly, I burst out laughing. Easton Brown and Liam turned to face me when they heard that. I could see veins starting to form on his brow. Liam's face had completely darkened.
I felt their hot glare, but I didn't turn away. Rather, I returned their stare with a provocative smile. This completely demolished Easton Brown's calm. He's been running around after school like a dog for the past few days, looking for me.
But in every attempt, I made him look foolish.
Other students were drawn to the unusual situation. They immediately focused their attention on us.
Lucas Something didn't feel right. "Brother Vincent," he immediately called out.
When I heard that, I averted my gaze from two of them. There's still time before the combat class, so there's no need to press the button right now.
But something unexpected happened the next second.
Easton Brown completely lost his cool. Liam, too, took a step back, feeling his rage.
"I'm going to cripple newcomer Vincent Carey during our combat class," Easton Brown declared boldly, looking around.
"Gasp!" In the room, there was a loud exclamation.
"Are you serious, 11th ranker vs. newcomer?"
"The newcomer will spend the rest of his life in bed."
"This is not going to happen, Class teacher Eric won't let this happen."
"The newcomer can easily reject the challenge."
Many students expressed their thoughts. Overall, it's a mixed reaction. Many of them believed that newcomers would refuse the challenge.
Because it's nothing but self-destruction. Fighting against power-type wizards will leave you disabled.
Powerful wizards are, indeed, muscle heads. They are ruthless in their use of power. Someone expressed their thoughts.
Easton Brown snorted angrily when he heard that. Power wizards are hulking brutes. This was a popular and widely used nickname.
However, the majority of them thought Easton Brown's move was a little too domineering. Even surpass the nickname "muscle head." Because everyone knows that newly awakened wizards are inexperienced. It will take some time for them to gain strength.
As a result, Easton Brown's new proclamation is clearly an abuse of power.
Victoria Shields, the cold queen, wrinkled her brow in displeasure.
"What's the matter with this muscle head?" She reflected to herself. It's just a blip of discontent.
The next thing she knew, she was lost in her own world. As if the outside world had no bearing on her.
On the other hand, Easton Brown's sudden proclamation stunned me. This guy's fuse has now completely blown.
"This is bad," Fatty muttered beside me. "He's acting like a crazy dog now."
I became aware of Liam's sly smile. When I noticed this, I raised my head to look at him. Liam is the current class monitor. How will he handle this situation? Will he report it to Mr.Eric, or will he let it go?
In my eyes, a cold glint flashes.
Because I guessed incorrectly. If I'm correct, Liam will speak up right now. He's not going to let this momentum pass him by.
My gaze returned to Liam, who was standing behind Easton Brown. "Venomous snake," I muttered.
