Chapter 415 Making The Arrangements
From MC's perspective:
"It was Taboo Hall," He uttered while adjusting his spectacles.
When the word "Taboo Hall" reached my ears. My heart turned cold. Apart from the bloodline hall, a certain person from the Taboo Hall is hostile to me.
"Mike Curtis," I said in my heart.
"Who is behind this?"
"Who sent you to collect my information?" I asked.
The person became hesitant.
Seeing that, I responded with a smile.
"You know I can hand you True House Wizas right now?"
"Anything that happens after that will not be my responsibility," I added further.
The person's expression becomes pale with fear.
"His name is Mike Curtis," The person said slowly.
After confirming the name, I released his hand and walked away from this place.
After going outside, I have to be careful of these Two Halls. My instinct tells me to leave as soon as possible for the mission. I don't want to give time for others to hatch an evil plan against me.
Several minutes later,
I returned to my room. Lying down in bed, I began to arrange my thoughts. There is a high possibility that someone will attack me on this journey.
So if I choose flying beast cart or aircraft, I will become a direct target for others. I had personally experienced it during the central auction time.
This time I should try out a new approach. I opened my communication watch. A hologram screen appears above the watch. I logged into the internet and searched for rail transport.
Soon I saw the information. There is a direct train available between the Dragon City and the Weden City.
Weden City is the new capital of the Denfield state. But when I searched for a train to the former capital, Aten City. There was no option.
Not only rail transport. There were no other services available. After finding out, my expression turned solemn. The former Capital is not a walkable distance from the new capital.
It might take 2 or 3 days to reach the Aten by foot. No wonder there was a 10 days time limit for this mission. It is a tight schedule.
Sigh!
After letting out a sigh, I booked online tickets for my journey from the Capital to Weden City and the return ticket as well.
After closing down the hologram. I shifted my attention to the Sub-Taboo Hall. I'm sure my older sister won't allow me to go outside.
My lips are bent slightly. She thinks I'm innocent and someone who needs help. But if she knows my true ability. She won't be talking casually to me anymore.
I already reached the limit. Only a few of the attributes were lacking. Last time, Senior Gilbert helped me by giving me the red potion.
I can't ask him for help every time. I have to make my network. Suddenly, the images of my parents, brother, and fatty come to mind.
I rarely talk to them these days. But I'm sure John Meyers had made a good arrangement. I don't want them to be used by the hostile faction.
I bet lots of people are doing background checks on me. I held up my chin in contemplation. Initially, I thought about making new friends and developing reliable connections.
But the academy politics ruined all of this. People are already divided even before joining the academy. It would be better if I got a sponsor friend like Fatty.
After becoming the core wizard, I should better focus on finding new people. I'm aware that a few higher-level wizards favor me because of the late gravity ancestor.
But I'm sure I'm not going to meet them any time soon.
After pushing down these thoughts, I shifted my attention back to safety.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

[Title: Lord of the Gregor Mansion.]

The status panel appeared right before my eyes. My gaze immediately fell on the earth golem puppet, pendant, and Magic Cloak.
I have yet to fully control the earth golem puppet. I can't make it fight for me for the time being. But the magic cloak gives me an extra layer of safety.
But what do with the face? I don't want to be recognized by the academy wizards. And also I don't want to expose my identity as an Academy student.
Then I decided to look for a mask to cover up my face.
Meanwhile,
Mike Curtis can find mission information by using his connection as usual. But unlike Tony Burnett, he didn't plan on making any moves first.
The following day,
I woke up an hour earlier. I want to leave the academy early in the morning. So I decided to not have breakfast in the dining hall today.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground. I closed my eyes and began to meditate.
Three hours later,
I opened my eyes after reaching the limit. Suddenly I felt my physique improve further. But suddenly I realized something and smirked.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

The status panel popped up. My gaze was set on the physique. Seeing that attributes reached 50, my assumption turned right. I don't know what exactly changed.
I certainly feel stronger than before. The feeling comes from the physique. Usually, wizards have weak physiques except for some exceptional awakened wizards like the power-type wizard.
After closing the status panel, I got up to take a shower.
Several minutes later,
I changed into fresh new clothes. I wore a black suit with a magic cloak on top of it.
It's 8 A.M. No one would expect me to see this time outside. After arranging everything, I walked out of the dorm building and headed to the transport section.
Using flying aircraft would attach attention. So I decided to go with a beast cart. After arriving at the section area, I booked the beast cart for the journey.
The staff behind the counter didn't recognize me. He made the registration and sent the details to my contact.
After getting the information on the cart, I walked toward the place. Last time, it was an old man who dropped at the abandoned battlefield site.
It's been some time but I never visited him again. When I reached the beast cart. I see the bird-type monster sleeping leisurely on the ground.
But where was the cart driver? I turned around to look for him. Suddenly, I spotted someone coming in my direction. The person appears to be a middle-aged man with a scar on the left side of his face.
But he is wearing a staff uniform. So I thought he might be the cart driver.
"Hello, student. Are you the one who made the registration?" The middle-aged man asked.
Hearing that I nodded my head and showed him the message in response. After confirming the details, I stepped inside the cart and sat in the window seat.
The middle-aged driver awoke the sleeping monster. The bird monster without making a fuss obeyed the command.
The middle-aged man then sat in his seat and started to fly the cart.
