Chapter 411 Impending Danger
The Taboo Hall,
A person with a gloomy mood is staying inside one of the private rooms.
"So they are back?" He said to himself, looking at the news on the screen.
He is staring at the image of Lara White. The news about the special class team's return from the mystic ruin has already spread.
But he was not happy at all. The one he wanted to get close to had already got a powerful teacher behind her. Any kind of move hereafter would offend her.
And unlike last time, he believes Lara White won't sit around doing anything. Thinking about it, he feels frustrated. The taboo hall is the strongest in the entire academy.
He can do whatever he wants and yet he needs to be wary of the taboo hall seniors. For the time being, he can't approach Lara casually and talk to her.
A quick glint flashes in his eyes. The whole commission was not entirely about their safe return. It also had something to do with Bloodline Hall.
Earlier he had struck a deal with one of the prominent wizards from the bloodline hall. But now looking at the bloodline hall failures. He doubts whether they are going to give him the blood of shadow-type monsters.
He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. He doesn't care about the bloodline hall's activities. He knows about the confidential news for which their entire Hall is being tight-lipped.
He doesn't want to blackmail them. Instead, he wants their experimental sample blood.
He had helped the bloodline hall by changing the special mission some time ago. And yet the person from the Sub-Taboo managed to survive in the end.
He made up his mind not to provide further help until they satisfied him with the sample blood. So Vincent Carey's safe return allows him to rip off money from the bloodline hall.
And it doesn't mean that he forgot the old episodes. He knows that Lara sees Vincent Carey differently. Considering that person holds the record in the battle tower.
Vincent Carey is more of a nuisance to him. Until the bloodline hall upheld their bargain he won't make a move against Vincent Carey.
....
(From MC's perspective)
One day later,
The giant black fleet reaches the capital city. Instead of taking a break, it continues to fly across the capital city.
In a few hours, the fleet will reach the academy.
Inside one of the cabins,
I woke up from my sleep and looked outside through the window. I instantly recognized the marvelous dragon city, the capital.
Last time I came for the central auction. That was a life-changing experience. I had consumed the ancient snake blood. Which gave me passive gravity ability in return.
So we will reach the Academy before the morning breakfast. After calculating time, I decided to complete my morning routine before sitting for meditation.
Swooosh~
I disappeared in front of the bed and appeared inside the Gregor mansion.
Time went by,
After completing the morning routine, I sat down cross-legged in the middle of the mana stones.
Feeling the abundant purified mana surrounding me. I closed my eyes and started to run the mental method.
Time passed, and I slowly immersed myself in meditation.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
Before I knew it, I had touched my daily limit. Feeling the barrier, I opened my eyes. The beaming energy inside the mana core space is proof of an increase in mana progression.
Then my attention turned towards the system.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

The status is penal appeared. My eyes immediately fell on the details. Seeing that I'm just one step away from reaching the limit.
A hint of satisfaction flashes in my eyes. I know after reaching the academy there will be more struggles.
I can gain more assurance after reaching the level-5 stage. Becoming a core wizard will gain me more attention and protection from the academy.
Well, it also doesn't mean that all my problems of mine would go away. Certainly, the hostile people would do anything to stop me from getting the inheritance of the late gravity ancestor.
Thinking about it, my eyes flickered with a cold glint. After pushing down these thoughts, I got up and rushed to take a shower.
After several minutes, I appeared back in my room in fresh clothes. When I looked through the window, I saw we had already reached the premises of the campus.
I think it's time to go outside. After walking out of the room, I head to the main cabin where everyone must be waiting.
When I reached the main cabin. I see the teammates standing along with the mentor and other staff. Including the healer Molly Wilkins.
After walking up to them, I gave a slight nod to my teammates who greeted me. As usual, I sensed the overwhelming ice-cold mana from the Lara White.
She has improved compared to the days back in the mystic ruin. I don't know how her magic works. I got a system where I can keep track of my progress.
But I guess the development path is different for each wizard.
Suddenly, I feel two people's gazes on me. When I turned around, I saw the Mentor and the healer looking at me for a moment.
"What happened?" I said in my heart. Maybe they are confused because I had spent most of my hours in my room compared to anyone here.
Without thinking about it too much. I shifted my attention to the landing. The black fleet lands at a huge platform near the transport area.
Tud~
When the fleet landed safely. Mentor Lion gave instructions to leave. Don Cline and Eva Casey are the first two to walk out. Followed by Lara White.
Seeing that I decided to follow as well. But I heard someone's voice behind me.
"Vincent Carey, could you give us a moment?" Wizard Lion asked.
I wasn't surprised at all. From their gaze earlier, I knew something was going on.
I turned around and looked toward the Mentor Lion and the healer Molly Wilkins.
"Mentor, what is it?" I asked.
Wizard Lion said, "I know you are confused. But we want to give you some piece of advice."
"Hmm," I raised my eyebrows in confusion.
Molly Wilkins stepped forward and added with her beautiful voice, "Don't go anywhere near the bloodline hall for a week."
"Bloodline hall," I uttered in surprise. At the same time, I felt some bad premonition. Don't tell me they are cooking up another conspiracy.
My heart turned cold. As I had previously guessed in ruin, these people haven't given up. Right now, I want to find the bloodline wizards and beat them to a pulp.
Too much bullying is going on.
Wizard Lion saw the frustration in Vincent's eyes. He sighed after realizing the situation of Vincent Carey. Some people don't want this kid to study in peace.
And most of the problem comes from his very own bloodline hall. What were they thinking? If they are really scared of gravity magic, then they should train someone equally so that they can rival Vincent in the future.
It's not like bloodline hall didn't have geniuses. There are many wizards with amazing bloodlines in their bodies. If they are properly nurtured, they can even rival the taboo wizards.
Shaking his head, he allowed Vincent to leave.
When Vincent completely disappeared in front of their sight and walked out of the fleet. He turned toward Molly and asked, "Do you think they dared to move against him?"
"After all those failures."
He didn't understand the minds of the higher-ups.
"You are avoiding the other face of the bloodline wizards completely," Molly said with a giggle.
In her opinion, Wizard Lion is quite different. But the rest of the bloodline wizards are maniacs. They would do anything to achieve their purpose. Since they had offended the Sub-Taboo Hall.
The conflict won't end just like that. Unless the Supreme Dean chooses to intervene in this matter.
