Chapter 365 Lara White’s Confidence
From MC's Perspective:
Senior Gilbert's arrival shocked me, and it rekindled the hope of buying that mutated snake blood. Looking toward him, I asked, "Senior, is it possible to get that thing?"
Hearing the words, Carolina perked up her ears to listen. Because she had the same doubts.
Meanwhile, Gilbert reveals a small smile on his face. "If they were any other wizards, it may sound ridiculous. But we are talking about you, a gravity wizard. You may not know it, but there are a lot of things riding on you.
"I'm not entirely relying on the Sub-Taboo Hall. But there are some old monsters in the academy who want to see the appearance of another gravity powerhouse in the academy. Which is good for the entire academy."
"So I'm expecting their help in this auction,"He explained with great detail.
My eyes lit up with surprise, so no wonder I can get to access those gravity wizard books. Because someone behind the scenes eases down the restrictions. After a sudden realization, I feel a huge weight being lifted off from the solder.
If I can get in touch with these old monsters, then, in other words, it's having a strong back behind your back. I begin to develop a vague plan in mind. After getting a breakthrough, I should attract the attention of the old powerhouses again.
"What are you daydreaming about?"
Carolina's words brought my attention back to reality.
Then looking at two of them, I revealed an embarrassing smile before saying, "Ahem, I had never expected to catch the attention of elders."
Senior Gilbert sat on the nearby seat. He was not surprised by Vincent's reaction. Even for him, it's difficult to seek their attention. Because they don't interfere with the academy's affairs.
"Don't think it's too easy. We know the internal situations. But what about outside? I'm quite sure there are many wizards outside whom don't want us to get this thing,"Gilbert said with a straight face.
I couldn't help but look toward Senior. He must have thought about this situation.
Carolina bit her lips. She knows that snake blood will attract a lot of competitions.
Gilbert Reese suddenly smirked and said,"If plan A doesn't work, then we should move to plan B."
"Plan B,"My pupils shrank. This senior is proposing my style. I'm the one who likes to steal things and dump victims' bodies somewhere.
Gilbert saw his reaction, Vincent. He said,"What?"
"Do you think it's ugly and sounds like evil wizards' methods?"
I remained silent. Carolina was shocked to the core. She didn't expect a dignified senior brother to have this plan.
Gilbert was amused by their reactions. He said, "Let me tell you something, that blood is sub-taboo grade. You can't buy such a treasure in shops. Auction is the only way. So a lot of people are involved in the chase and kill every year after the auction ends. So we might have to follow the same method just in case."
I sighed inwardly. Senior Gilbert is saying it's not a sin to loot when it comes to rare treasures. For others, you can use normal means. Only I know how troublesome it is to earn money. Initially, I was thinking about earning money using potion making. But unfortunately, I don't have the energy to spend time on other streams.
"Alright, I'm leaving now. We will meet on the day of the auction,"After saying that, Gilbert left.
Only Sister Carolina and I were staring at each other.
…
Meanwhile, the true house wizards learned about the situation.
The green serpent wizard Ko let go of his hanging heart. He is sure that Gilbert and that gravity kid might be discussing the auction.
"Since the bait is going to work, then how to kill that kid?"He wrecks his brain to come up with an answer.
He doesn't think about the possibility of whether Gilbert is going to bring that kid to the auction or not. Because people will be besieged after the auction. So Gilbert has to make that consume gravity blood. Otherwise, the stalkers won't go away.
He also doesn't think Gilbert will bring other powerhouses to the auction. If he does, then, he will be stared by the other two academies.
Finally, after some contemplation. He made up his mind to bring some people to kill that kid in the midst of chaos on that day.
…
On the other hand, the movements of Gilbert Greese and Vincent Carey are under the eyes of many people. Contact between these two people causes everyone to believe that it's about the upcoming auction.
Other Halls are waiting for the Bloodline Hall's reaction. Because the conflict between the Bloodline Hall and the Sub-Taboo Hall is now public.
Especially the auction involves the interest of a new rising wizard, Vincent Carey. So people are expecting some show to happen. They are waiting for the Bloodline's Hall blockade.
But even several hours after the release of the listed items. There was no reaction from Bloodline Hall. These even caused some commotion to happen on social media.
Students are making conspiracy theories. It's some calm before the storm. Because after seeing the sorry state of Clifton Cox. Bloodline Hall can't remain silent.
So many theory posts were circulating online.
Even John Meyers felt something wrong after reading several articles. He was glad that Senior Gilbert stepped forward to help Vincent.
But the Bloodline Hall is staying silent. Such silence made his worry no less.
...
Today, Kate Cohens met with Lara White again.
"Teacher, are you back?"Lara White smiled bitterly after seeing her.
Kate Cohens sighs, she is just a temporary teacher. The real teacher is someone who is an elder-level powerhouse.
Kate's eyes flickered with complicated emotions.
"Lara, your teacher has been decided,"She said in a solemn tone.
Lara White felt like a thunderclap rang in her ears.
"What are you saying?"She asked back in worry. Because apart from Kate Cohens. She doesn't find warmth in anyone.
Especially in the Taboo Hall. Everyone is indifferent and cold. Most of them didn't even bother to stay in Taboo Hall.
Kate Cohens answered,"Why are you surprised? Didn't I say before that I'm a temporary teacher?"
"To be honest, after staying here for a while. You should have realized something. I'm a core house member."
"My task was finished after recruiting you successfully and making you enter the Special Class Program."
"Not only me, this is the same case with Vincent Carey. The person who brought him also had a similar task like me."
"In this Academy, only the elder level and above are qualified to take official disciples under them."
"Even the True House wizards are not eligible to have students under them unless there is a special case."
Lara White remained silent. She is not stupid. She knows the difference between a core house and a true house.
If she breaks again, then her wizard level equals Kate Cohens. She understands the situation. But she felt the news came so suddenly. It took her some time to adjust her emotions.
Kate Cohens sighed again. She said, "Alright, I'm not qualified to talk about this matter. Soon you will be notified. So don't worry. It's good to have an elder-level powerhouse as a backing, so no one can bully you."
Lara's white hair fluttered in the air. She almost forgot about why she came here. She wants to reach the top level of her magic. A quick glint flashes in her blue pupils.
"Alright, then how should I address you now?"Lara White asked. This time her temperament changed completely. Earlier timidness was completely swept away at this moment.
"You can call me Senior Sister,"Kate replied.
She was confused and disturbed by Curtis' appearance. But right now she also thinks it's good to have a strong backing. At least it can deter Curtis.
Kate Cohens looked at her with an appreciative look. Lara White adjusted her mindset quickly. Which is good for her growth. The solemn atmosphere disappeared at this moment.
Now they can converse casually.
"So are you going to challenge that gravity kid?"Kate Cohens asked.
"Vincent Carey?"Lara White uttered in surprise.
She knitted her eyebrows. Because she thinks it's not easy.
Then she shook her head and replied,"I'm not sure."
Kate Cohens raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"What do you mean?"She asked back.
Lara White completely remembers the duel scenes. She said,"Vincent's gravity magic works as a domain. It's not easy to be near him. If you get caught in the domain, it will be all over."
Kate Cohens was quite shocked inside. She hurriedly said, "Don't ever say something like this in public."
Lara asked, "Why?"
A wry smile appeared on her face. She said, "Don't say. You are a user of taboo magic. The taboo magic is many times more powerful than sub-taboo magic."
"It's just that the kid is quite clever in using his sub-taboo magic. You are on the other hand, yet to tap the potential inside you."
"But I believe you will get complete change over studying under the Elder level teacher."
Lara White is quite pleased to hear such an evaluation. Even she had trouble facing Vincent. Now her confidence strengthens further.
