Chapter 306 Part Two: Sub-Taboo Hall
(From MC's perspective)
The Yellow River Academy,
"Council elder uh?" I revealed a bitter smile on my face. Those are the existence far away from me. It's better not to think about them right now.
After calming down my heart, I looked at the middle-aged woman Carolina. She is my senior now. It is better to address her like that.
"Ahem, senior. What about other houses?" I asked out of curiosity. I bet other houses too have similar Sub-taboo powerhouses.
Carolina Slate rolled her eyes at him. She felt the newcomer was over-enthusiastic. She decided to tell the harsh reality.
She replied, "Vincent right?"
"First of all, you should understand very few people awaken sub-taboo magic every year. Amongst them, one or two join our academy. The rest of them join some other organizations," She added further.
Then without waiting for her junior to speak. She continued by saying, "So our entire Sub-taboo-Hall has a low number of wizards."
"Adding you, the Outer House slot is filled now. Then our Sub-taboo Hall consists of members such as the Outer House-1, Inner House- 4, Core House-2, True House-3, Elder House-4, and Council House-1."
After saying that she observed her junior.
On the other hand, I don't know how to react for a while. We got a total of 15 members in the whole academy. Why does it sound a lot less?
But my eyes lit up recalling the council house has a Sub-taboo wizard. So he might be a strong backing for us. When I revealed a bright smile on my face.
I see the reaction on her face is not so good-looking. "Senior?" I uttered.
Carolina Shook her head and stood cross-armed. "Alright, there are many things to tell you. But before that let's register your name in our database," After saying that, she strode towards the front desk.
There is no one behind the desk right now. Because rarely people join the Sub-taboo Hall. So whatever work is available. It is usually done by members themselves.
A frown appeared on my face. I see that she wanted to tell me something. But she chooses not to speak at this moment. I raised my eyebrows in confusion.
Then I realized it is still the first day of the academy. There is no need to inquire about these things in a hurry. I can address some issues later.
She led me toward the computer system. I registered my name and the process went smoothly. I don't know how the classes were conducted. Are there any books available on gravity magic?
A lot of questions appeared in my mind.
"Senior sister, what about the classes?" I asked.
Carolina eased her eyebrows before replying, "There are no day-to-day lectures here. Everything depends on self-study. You can get materials from the library to learn."
"And one more thing, to graduate you have to reach the level-5 rank. The academy has given a 10 year period for lower-level wizards. Failure of breakthrough after 10 year period leads to expulsion," She added.
Hearing that I solemnly nodded my head. 10 years' time limit is too much for me. I can get a breakthrough every two years. If my talent was higher, then the time would be even shorter.
Beep!
Carolina received some urgent messages at this time. So she can't accompany her juniors anymore.
"Alright, I have something to do right now. So let's exchange our contacts. If you need something, you can text me," Carolina said.
I nodded my head and then we exchanged our contacts. The middle-aged women didn't talk any further and hurriedly trotted away from the Hall.
When she was completely gone, I let out a long sigh, "Sigh,"
I need someplace to sit down and think. When this thought rose in my heart, I glanced towards the sofa.
Sitting down, I started to collect my thoughts. Sub-too Hall entirely consists of 15 members including me. The numbers were a lot less considering the huge size of the academy.
I bet this is the same situation with Taboo Hall as well. So if there is any dispute, it's not easy to overwhelm other Halls with numbers.
I started to feel a headache. Don't tell me I have to keep acting in a low-key manner again.
Then retracting my thoughts, I started to access the academy site again. This time I can log into the Sub-taboo Hall's page.
Soon I entered my access code and logged into the page. Seeing the information about Sub-taboo wizards, I started to read it. The information here is a lot more than the introductory books.
20 minutes later,
I got a basic understanding of things out here. There is severe competition between the Halls. Recalling the information, I couldn't help but think about my Senior Sister's reaction.
After realizing that I revealed a bitter smile on my face. The competition is all about the Hall rankings.
There are 12 Halls inside the academy. To distribute the academy resources. The academy uses the ranking method. The top Hall gets the maximum benefits while the bottom Hall gets the minimum.
The Hall ranking is separate for each House. And they are determined by the maximum points obtained by wizards at the battle tower.
The information about the battle tower is quite interesting. To provide fairness to every Hall. The academy uses battle tower points to determine Hall rankings.
Seeing the Hall ranking of the Sub-taboo Hall's Outer House, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. The Sub-taboo Hall's current outer house ranking is 12. Which is the bottom. Even those powerless research guys are ranked higher than me.
Taboo Hall, Sub-Taboo Hall, and Unique Hall have fewer members. I think it's probably due to rarity. Before me, no one joined the outer house.
So that's why the outer house ranking is last.
My mind sprang up in action. Right now I must practice and reach level-3 rank as soon as possible. Then I can show my power as level-3 rank before everyone.
Then I will enter the battle tower to improve the outer house ranking. A good plan comes to my mind. Right now the first position is occupied by the Taboo Hall. Which is not a surprise to me.
I know the horror of sub-taboo magic. And the taboo is one grade higher than mine. So it is normal for that person to achieve first place in the outer house ranking.
Who is that person? A curiosity rose in my heart. Because that person will become my rival eventually.
When I accessed the information on the site. My eyes widened in disbelief.
[Hall Ranking Outer House]
[No.1- Lara White, Taboo Hall.]
>> Level-3 Snow Storm wizard.
>> Special program student.
[Temp Mentor- Kate Cohens, Level- 5 Peak illusion wizard. Core House member.]
"," I blurted out in surprise.
For a moment, I froze like a statue. Seed candidate? Don't tell me she is the same as me. Joined recently. What is going on?
Then I also read the next line of the information. Kate Cohens? Soon the image of women comes to mind. She is the one who rescued me from the dark league.
And the other party's words before parting comes to my mind. My gaze landed on the text. So she is her student. At that time, I was dissatisfied with her tone and attitude.
But right now seeing the information firsthand. I believe there is truth to her claim. Lara White is really strong. But I'm not afraid. If it's a do-or-die situation, I can easily kill her using gravitational force.
Which is almost like a cheat to me besides my system of mine. I can use it to fight across ranks and kill wizards. But that option is my trump card. I will use that only in a desperate situation.
But here for the Hall ranking. I don't have to use such extreme methods. She is a level-3 rank, and my expression turned serious for a moment. Snowstorm taboo magic?
From the title alone, I understand the horror of the magic. It doesn't matter whether close range or open field. This magic can cause damage to everyone.
A quick glint flashes in my eyes. Lara White? I can't wait to witness the power of gravity magic against the snowstorm magic. It will be exciting to see such a duel.
When it comes to Elder Kate Cohens. She is not an ordinary powerhouse either. Illusion magic? But at that time, I hadn't seen her using that magic. She simply used the imprisoned artifact to capture the dark league wizard.
She is also a temporary mentor for Lara White. Her magic is not at all similar to Lara White's magic. Illusion is a different category. I believe she is more like a guardian for Lara White
Then I held up my chin in contemplation. In a few days, I will meet Lara White at the Special program class. Let's observe the other party then.
Finally, I retracted my thoughts and closed the communication watch. There is no one here. I believe that it is normal for other members to come here once in a while.
Because the academy pushes the self-study method. So it's quite common for everyone to practice alone.
