Chapter 274 John’s Timely Arrival
Little Star Gate High School,
Creak
After opening the door, the medical staff entered inside.
"Chairman, Vincent Carey is missing." The medical staff hurriedly said.
"What?" Benjamin got up from his seat in surprise. He uttered, "What are you babbling about?"
Then the medical staff explained the situation.
Hearing that Benjamin furrowed his eyebrows. "Is it possible for that kid to leave without saying anything?" He said in his heart.
Then he asked, "Where is Eric?" He remembers Eric waiting outside of that wardroom.
"Chairman, they are waiting for you," the medical staff replied.
Then both left the room.
...
(From MC's perspective)
I see three of them were dumbfounded by my absence. I don't know what happened but three of them walked towards the exit. Seeing them going out, I sighed in relief.
When they completely disappear from my sight. I used the system to appear back in the room.
Whoosh
This all happened in a blink of an eye. The next moment, I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep.
A couple of minutes later, I heard footsteps inside the room. No doubt, I guess people from management were back.
On the other hand, Chairman Benjamin walked into the room with a worrisome expression. The other staff followed behind him. Including Class teacher Eric.
But the next second Benjamin's face changes drastically. From worrisome expressions to anger. Looking at Vincent Carey asleep in his bed. He felt people were playing pranks on him.
Right after, other staff entered the room. When they saw Vincent Carey, everyone widened their eyes in disbelief.
"This?" Class teacher Eric was stunned. He couldn't believe his own eyes. Vincent Carey was missing a few minutes ago. So when did he come back?
Chairman Benjamin touched his forehead and turned back to face the staff. "Are you guys daydreaming or what?" He inquired in a stern tone.
The medical staff is speechless. He finally understands everyone overreacted a bit. He believes that the patient went back to take a breath of fresh air.
After realizing his mistake, he apologized to the chairman.
Chairman Benjamin calmed down his heart and turned towards the patients. Seeing Danny Quinn, he furrowed his eyebrows. He knew Danny Quinn's parents would arrive shortly.
Without turning back he instructed, "Shift Danny Quinn to a different room."
Hearing that the medical staff swiftly acted.
Seeing that, Benjamin turned his attention towards Eric.
"Eric, I think you better stay inside the room. And I don't want to hear another commotion," He said in a calm tone.
Class teacher Eric nodded his head in response.
After instructing him, Chairman Benjamin walked back to his office. He wants to go home after dealing with Danny Quinn's family.
On the other hand, the medical staff shifted Danny Quinn to another room.
Seeing that everyone went except the Class teacher Eric, I sighed in relief. For a moment, I thought I would be exposed. Fortunately, they misunderstood my absence as something else.
Now I can rest and relax. But the real threat is not solved and it's probably waiting for me outside. I think it's better to report back to John Meyer.
But before doing that it's better to pretend asleep for a few more minutes. Otherwise, I would be hated by Class teacher Eric.
20 minutes later,
I opened my eyes and sat upright. Seeing me getting up, Class teacher Eric got up from his seat and walked up to me.
On the other hand, Eric thought about asking about the previous disappearance. But suddenly he changed his thoughts and asked, "How are you doing?"
"Hmmm," I raised my eyebrows in surprise. I was expecting something else. But this situation is good. I replied, "Cough, teacher. I'm doing fine."
"Can I leave now?" I asked back.
The class teacher shook his head in denial. He asked, "It's not up to me. The head staff will decide that later. But don't worry, I'll talk to him."
I nodded in response.
Eric Wallace remembered Chairman's instructions. It's about the final match. His expression turned a bit solemn. He doesn't want to scare Vincent.
But Vincent must learn about certain things.
"Vincent, what are your thoughts on the final duel?" Eric inquired.
"Final duel?" I muttered. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. But the next second, I recovered back to normal and replied, "I think it will be extremely difficult to win."
But I sneered in my heart, "If not for my restrictions, I won't bother to kill that "
Outside, I kept my face neutral.
Eric Wallace nodded his head in approval. He felt Vincent is not overconfident. And he understands his opponent's strength correctly. If this is the case then his job will become easier.
"Chairman instructed me to warn you."
"I believe you felt that with your duel against Danny Quinn."
"He went overboard this time. Despite knowing that you are a newcomer. He injured you. If not for your strength, you would have been disabled."
Eric Wallace explained in a calm tone.
Hearing that, a cold glint flashed in my eyes. Danny Quinn? He is more shameless than Frank Lambert.
Earlier, I assumed the top 3 wizards would be different. But I was wrong. Except, for Victoria Shields. The other wizards are pretty much the same.
They won't hesitate to seek revenge for the smallest things.
Seeing Vincent, Eric Wallace sighed inwardly. He said, "Since it's a competition. The injuries were unavoidable. And it's more impossible to hold someone accountable for that."
"In the end, it will be the same case in the final duel. Chairman thinks that Brent Dale will act worse than Danny Quinn. So you need to be careful of him."
I don't know why? But I have a bad feeling about this. They are saying that I might be crippled. And they won't punish Brent Dale for that.
If I hear more, my mood will worsen further. So I replied, "Teacher, I will be careful."
Eric Wallace sighed inwardly. Finally, he said, "If you don't want to participate in the final duel, you can tell me. There is still time."
I frowned. Why are these people overreacting? I looked at him and replied, "Teacher, I understand you guys are worried about my safety. But don't worry. I will act cautiously."
Hearing that Eric Wallace stopped persuading. He also believes that Vincent won't be careless about his safety. After saying that, he walked outside to take a break.
On the other hand, I immediately accessed my communication watch to send messages.
[Vincent: Mr John, I'm staying in our school clinic. But I believe that the enemy is still waiting for me outside. So please do something.]
After sending the message, I looked at other messages in my box. They were all from my parents.
Seeing that, I replied to them. Then I closed my eyes and lay down.
...
30 minutes later,
John Meyers arrived in front of the school. He has already seen the message from Vincent. So he began to search the surroundings.
As a level-5 wizard, it is easy for him to find out the enemy.
On the other hand, the dark league member Carlos is waiting inside the school. He isn't aware of that danger.
John Meyers quickly concluded. He didn't find any level-4 or level-5 wizard. So he made up his mind to enter the school on a whim.
He hid his mana breath and walked inside the school campus. First, he decided to check up on Vincent Carey. Then it won't be too late to find the enemy.
When he heads towards the clinic. Suddenly, he spotted the anomaly. He felt the mana breathe similarly to him. John Meyers knew there was another level-5 wizard near him.
He immediately disappeared from the spot and appeared behind the suspected level-5 wizard.
On the other hand, the dark league member Carlos found something amiss. His entire attention was on the clinic where he failed to sense the intrusion of another wizard.
"Damn that kid."
"I'm waiting here for nothing."
"Should I abduct his parents? But I heard that they were healers working in a certain organization, " Carlos muttered to himself.
His voice is not loud but it's heard by John Meyers. Earlier, he had some doubts about this level-5 wizard.
Now everything became clear after hearing his mumbling. To think there is a level-5 wizard after Vincent's life. John Meyers' heart boiling in anger.
But the next moment, he calmed down his heart. He knows this is not a good place for a fight. Then he carefully took out a black mask from his storage bracelet and wore it.
Then he takes out another material from the storage bracelet. Grade-6 magic material, poisonous herb. When he brought it outside, the poisonous smell immediately attacked his nostrils.
But his mask provides safety for him. On the other hand, the dark league member Carlos is caught off guard.
He felt dizzy for a moment. But the next second his senses woke him up. He knew something was wrong. When he turned around, he saw a massive fist coming down on his face."What?"He exclaimed.
Smash
The next second, he got smashed into the tree.
John brought the poisonous herb to Carlos. He knew it would be a matter of time before the opponent lost consciousness.
