Chapter 375 Returning To The Academy
From MC's perspective:
Seeing the passive working of gravity power around me. My eyes gleamed with twinkle. Fortunately, the movements was not so big. Otherwise, it can easily attract others' attention.
After calming down my heart, I slowly walked out.
Seeing me coming, Senior Gilbert turned toward me.
He immediately felt the change in temperament and asked,"Did you get a breakthrough?"
I nodded my head and replied,"I'm a level-4 wizard now."
For a moment, Gilbert stood in daze. He is aware of Vincent's background. Especially he knows about Vincent's talent which is not particularly great.
But at this moment, he doesn't know how to describe this situation?
At the same, I realized Senior Gilbert is running his thoughts. It's the right time to put the credit on the ancient snake's blood.
"I don't know what happened exactly. But the gravity magic hidden inside the ancient blood absorbed my body. Right after I feel some changes in my talent."
"It feels like it has gone a step further," After saying that I expressed joy on my face. At least my statement should be believable.
Right at this moment, Gilbert saw the rich expression of Vincent. He pushed down unnecessary thoughts in his mind and asked about the ancient snake blood.
Then I slowly described what I have witnessed in these broken pictures.
At first, Gilbert's expression was calm. But when he heard pitch black snakes swimming in the infinite starry sky. His pupils shrank.
"That snake's characteristics were similar to those described in written records," He said in his heart.
At this moment, he didn't doubt Vincent's words at all. Apart from the elders no one knows about the Starry Sky Snake. So he believes Vincent's words were true.
Not only that he also thinks Vincent's talent must have gone mutation under the effect of ancient snake blood.
His eyes shone with bright light. Gilbert turned toward Vincent and said,"You are lucky. In most cases wizards would get some kind of powers from the ancient blood. But you on the other hand got the talent improvement."
"Do you want to check your talent?" Gilbert asked.
I replied,"No." To tackle this situation I have already thought of something. I said,"If I show higher talent, then I will face even more trouble."
"Senior, there were two assassination attempts on me. Not from the academy but from the dark league," I added further.
Hearing that a look of understanding dawned upon Gilbert Reese. "Dark League, it's a trouble faction. Alright, there is no need to reveal your talent. I'll answer higher ups if there are some doubts."
I sighed inwardly. My plan worked perfectly. Not only I broke though because of the ancient blood. I even managed to come up with the reason for my higher talent.
Then Senior Gilbert grabbed my shoulder and rushed towards the academy. After several minutes, we entered the Academy's space and he dropped on the ground.
Gilbert said,"Don't come outside for the next two days. Just use this time to stabilize your new limit."
After saying that he disappeared from the spot. Then I turned around and walked towards the dorm room.
A few minutes later,
I returned back to my room. The first thing I did was to get some shower and clean the impurities.
After several minutes, I walked out from my bath and changed to casual clothes.
Senior Sister Carolina has sent me numerous messages. I guess she might have worried because of Plan B. .
The Central Auction was a live event. She must have watched the entire event. A black line appeared on my forehead.
Then I opened the messages and sent a reply back to her. Obviously, I can't walk outside and go to the Sub-Taboo Hall.
People might be waiting outside of the Sub-Taboo Hall. Using this opportunity, I began to read the gravity wizard books.
I want to take control of the passive working of gravity power. Fortunately, the things inside my room are much sturdier than ordinary pebble rocks.
...
Meanwhile, the green haired wizard in the bloodline hall is waiting for his friend to appear. He didn't know whether Ko had managed to get the blood back.
Because everyone saw that ancient snake blood was bought by the Royal Force Hall. And it's quite difficult to handle them.
Some higher ups of the Bloodline Hall thought that the ancient blood might be bought by the Sub-Taboo Hall's person. But the end result made them a joke.
Not only the Sub-Taboo didn't buy the ancient blood. The whereabouts of Gilbert Reese and Vincent Carey is unknown.
Shortly after, a core house wizard comes to him with urgent news. "They are back,' The green haired wizard blurted out in surprise.
The core house wizard got the news from the dorm's eyeliner that Vincent Carey has returned to his room.
On the other hand, they have arranged many people outside of the Sub-Taboo Hall.
At the same time, the green haired wizard was totally pissed off. If Vincent Carey is back then Gilbert might have also returned from the trip.
After sending the core house wizard back, the green haired wizard waited for the bloodline wizard Ko to appear.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
After one hour, the bloodline wizard Ko reached the academy. He immediately went to his bloodline Hall. His appearance immediately made a lot of waves.
When the green haired wizard saw Ko, he got up from the seat and asked,"You are back. What about the blood?"
Ko, who was in a bad mood, already looked toward him with a cold gaze. He asked,"Did you read my message?"
The green haired wizard nodded his head and replied,"Vincent Carey had returned an hour ago."
The bloodline wizard Ko sighed in relief and said,"Good, monitor his movements. If he comes outside, inform me immediately."
After saying that Ko immediately went to see the higher ups.
The green haired wizard wants to inquire more. But seeing him in a hurry, he avoided the urge to ask the questions.
Many wizards joined the Elder House from the bloodline hall. Because of it, they got a strong voice inside the academy.
One of the wizards in the Elder House gave him the task. At first, Ko was not sure about the identity.
But when he connected all of the recent happenings and Vincent's performance. He guessed that some don't want to see the rise of the Sub-Taboo Hall.
Inside the bloodline hall, every True House wizard has a separate space where they can meditate and practice all time.
But right now, Ko has something in his mind. When he entered his own space, he felt secured. He immediately used his communication watch to contact the person.
The connection was established in seconds. Instead of a holographic image, a pitch black screen appeared.
Seeing that Ko became nervous in an instant. He knew the power level of this person. It might be level-7 or level-8.
A second later, a modified voice reached his ears which was neither male nor female,"What happened?"
Ko knew this was done to hide the identity.So he didn't dare to be rude.
Ko gulped his saliva before reporting the events.
After explaining the things he waited in silence. The black screen didn't change for a moment.
"So you have failed? What's the use of you in our bloodline hall?"
"Dignified Serpent Clan has produced such trash. I think it's better to send you to explore the collapsed ruins."
The weird voice reached him again. The blood line wizard Ko's expression becomes pale with fright. He knew it's not easy to get away without punishment.
But he hadn't expected to see the collapsed ruins. That place is worse than prison. The space of the collapsed ruins was unstable.
No one actually goes there to explore. For a moment, he doesn't know how to explain this calamity.
Suddenly he thought of his previous plan and said hurriedly,"Elder, there is still some hope left. It's not easy to consume ancient blood. It needs some preparation."
? When he finished his words. The black screen shook for a moment. Before the words reached his ears,"You talk?"
Hearing that he found the last straw of life and began to explain his plans.
After a few seconds, the black screen moved again.
"So you are saying as long as that kid doesn't consume some potions it's impossible to consume the blood directly."
The voice reached his ears again. The bloodline wizard Ko immediately nodded his head.
He replied,"Yes elder, we just have to lure this kid outside to snatch the blood from him."
After saying that the hope rekindled in his heart. If he can make this plan successful, he might get the blood enhancement potion again.
He wants to get another opportunity from the elders. But he knows it's not easy to come up with a plan in a short time. If the elder gives a nod, then he will surely make things difficult for that kid.
"I'll give you one more chance. Do something before that kid consumes the ancient blood."
The voice reaches his ears again. He immediately said,"Yes elder. I will make sure things are right this time."
