Chapter 366 Part 1: Central Auction
From MC's Perspective:
On the auction day, Dorm Room,
After waking up, I completed my morning routine before sitting cross-legged for meditation.
When I started to run the Gravity Ark method. Slowly the grey energy particles entered my body. Then I guided the energy according to the mental method.
After circulation, the energy settled down in the mana core. I felt the increase in mana, I repeated the process.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
I opened my eyes three hours later. But I felt the barrier again. It will take some days to weaken the barrier. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. If today's auction plan was successful, then I can perhaps break the barrier today itself.
Then I decided to check the status.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. My eyes scanned all the details. Seeing there was no change in attributes, I sighed inwardly. I know it's not easy to get a breakthrough in one sitting.
Then after closing the status panel, I got up from the ground. Senior Gilbert will be coming soon. I left the dorm and walked toward the dining hall.
I texted Sister Carolina on the way. She must be waiting near the entrance. After a few minutes, I joined Sister Carolina.
"Are you ready for today's auction?" Carolina asked.
"Yes," I replied without showing many expressions on my face.
Carolina nodded her head but as the time is getting near for the auction. She is getting more worried. Senior Gilbert's Plan B haunts her in her dreams.
Because she knows the possibility of getting success for Plan A is very low. And Plan B is more likely to happen.
I noticed her complex expression. I know she is worried about the auction. So I didn't ask. Then we entered the dining hall and walked toward the food counter.
My appearance as usual was noticed by some people. But I ignored their gazes and received the food plate. Then we sat in quite a private place. Yet I could hear people's conversation.
Carolina furrowed her eyebrows and said, "Looks like everyone is looking forward to the auction. I heard the auction event would be broadcast live. We can even watch it from here."
I raised my eyebrows in surprise. The auction attracted so much more attention than expected.
Then we began to eat.
Time went on,
After having breakfast, both of us entered the Sub-Taboo Hall. Shortly after our arrival, Senior Gilbert came.
Seeing him, we stood up from our seats to greet him. I don't know whether he got enough funds to buy that blood. I looked at him with expectations.
Gilbert looked at Carolina Slate and Vincent Carey. He laughed and said, "Ha... Ha... Ha.., junior brother, don't worry. Someone provided me with enough funds."
Hearing that, a wave of ecstasy rose in my heart. I finally exhaled in relief. Even Carolina revealed a bright smile on her face. As long as Plan A is successful, she will be happy.
Gilbert noticed their expression. Then he brought something out from his storage bracelet.
"Face mask," I uttered in surprise. This thing is an amazing magical product. Then a look of understanding dawned upon me. This mask will hide my identity.
Gilbert revealed a smile before saying, "This face mask product is very popular. It needs no reduction."
"But this one is high grade, we don't have to worry about the level-7 wizard spying on us," After saying that, Gilbert handed the product to Vincent.
I received the face mask and placed it inside the storage bracelet.
Gilbert remained silent for a moment before saying, "Let's come to the main topic. It's not wise to leave the academy together."
When he said that, Carolina and I looked at each other.
Gilbert added, "I'll be leaving first. Then you can leave after one hour. Here, we will meet at this address outside of the academy."
"Bloodline Hall is already staring at us. If they see us leaving together, then they will make some plans."
"Alright," I said and stored the address in my contacts.
After a few minutes, Senior Gilbert left.
"Vincent, after leaving the academy, doesn't go anywhere else. Just meet the senior as soon as possible at the meeting point," Carolina said with a worrisome look on her face.
"Hmmm," I simply nodded my head in response.
Meanwhile,
Multiple flying vehicles left the air space of the Academy in a quick session. Because someone was watching every movement of Gilbert Reese and Vincent Carey.
Seeing that someone left the academy, they quickly thought of Gilbert Reese. As he was driving the unidentified vehicle.
At the same time, the green-haired wizard contacted the snake wizard. These two True House wizards were planning to kill Vincent.
As one of them was suspected of leaving for the auction, the green-haired wizard decided to share the news.
Ko: What happened?
Ko: Did they leave?
Green-haired wizard: A new aircraft left the academy. I guess it might be Gilbert. Because when he left the Sub-Taboo Hall. We couldn't find his trace anymore.
Ko: Then it must be him.
Ko: What about that gravity kid? Our target is him. If he doesn't leave then, our plan will be a failure.
Green-haired Wizard: He is still inside the Sub-Taboo Hall. Once he walks out, I'll call you again.
Ko: Alright.
The Bloodline Hall unofficially dispatched some wizards to help the True House Wizards. Their job is to monitor the movements of the Sub-Taboo Hall.
2 hours later,
I slowly walked out of the hall. Ignoring the prying gazes, I walk toward the exit. A frown appears on my face. I see a lot of wizards on the way.
It's impossible in normal circumstances. But now they are roaming near the Sub-Taboo Hall. I know it's something fishy. Then I hurriedly headed toward the exit.
After walking out, I head directly towards the transport area.
A few minutes later,
I registered for the flying cart. The flying monster is as fast as a flying aircraft. Suddenly, I heard a few people coming in my direction.
"This, "Someone is tailing me from behind.
Then without wasting time, I hopped inside the cabin and told the driver to move.
A couple of seconds later,
A flying monster left the academy space. This all happened in a few minutes.
The green-haired wizard immediately contacted Ko again to share the news.
Ko: What now?
Green-haired wizard: Ko, that kid left the Sub-Taboo Hall. Then a flying monster cart left the academy space shortly.
Ko: Okay, I will be handling things from now on.
Inside the cabin,
I furrowed my eyebrows in uneasiness. These people didn't stop following me. I see many aircraft through the window. They rose shortly after departure.
"Trouble," I mumbled under my breath.
Then I remember the face mask. Fortunately, Senior Gilbert had already foreseen these events. The Bloodline Hall is making trouble.
Several minutes later,
The flying monster finally reached the dragon city. Right after that, I wore a face mask to cover my identity. Then I changed the magic robe again.
When the monster landed on the platform, I immediately stepped out and rushed away from this place without looking back.
Shortly after, many aircraft landed one by one near the flying monster. Everyone is here after Vincent Carey. But they came one step later.
Meanwhile, I see Senior Gilbert waiting for me inside the coffee shop. A strange glint flashes in my eyes.
Senior Gilbert has a calm and small, knowing smile on his face. He must have known about my situation. But he still keeps his calm.
"How is the trip?" Gilbert asked.
"Cough," I coughed up suddenly.
I sat opposite him and replied, "Senior, this is no joke. The bloodline hall wizards are boldly following my trails from the academy."
Gilbert Reese nodded and said, "I know. That's why I decided to split. It's impossible to hide from them, especially as the time for the auction is getting near. Now there is half an hour left before the auction.
"So let's leave now," After saying that, he got up from the seat and walked out. Seeing that, I followed him from behind.
