Chapter 479 Part 1: Battle Tower Trial (Core House)
The news about 2 people entering the Sub-Taboo Hall reached the ears of interested people. Including the bloodline hall and the elemental hall. They ordered their eyeliners to continue their monitoring.
But nobody suspected the unknown people could be Gilbert and Vincent Carey. They turned a blind eye to this sudden news. No one was ready to look into this deeply.
...
(From MC's perspective)
The following day,
After getting out of bed, I started my morning routine. Several minutes later, I sat cross-legged to meditate. All of my attributes are full.
The only thing keeping me down is the slowcore progression. At the same time, I don't know how to break through to reach level-6.
My eyes flickered. Today I'm going to find out the breakthrough method. After pushing down these unnecessary thoughts. I started to focus on meditating.
Three hours went by,
I stopped meditating after feeling the limit. Then I turned to the status panel.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

After looking at the rise in core progression and gravity physique. My eyebrows ease down. Everything else remained the same.
Then I closed the panel and started to observe my physique. Yesterday, I spent time understanding passive ability. My physique is transforming into something else.
But I don't know the name of the end product. All I can tell is that with the increase in gravity physique. My control over gravity magic spells is improved.
Instant casting of magic spells has almost become my instinct these days. I'm looking forward to seeing further changes.
Then I stood up and started walking to the bath.
Several minutes later,
I wore academy clothes and started to get ready. Then I left the room a few minutes later.
On my way to the academy building. I came across several students. But none of them recognized me.
After walking past, I entered the academy building. Instead of walking to the Sub-Taboo Hall, I came to the phone booth set up.
Creak~
After opening the door, I entered inside. The door closed behind me automatically.
Then my gaze fell on the control panels. On the monitor, I selected the Battle Tower.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. When the selection was made. The booth starts to vibrate. Right after, I felt like descending.
But I know I'm heading toward isolated space. Where the Battle Tower is located.
A few seconds later,
The booth came to a halt. Seeing that I stepped out slowly. When my feet touched the ground. The phone booth behind me disappeared.
Then I raised my head to look at the Battle Tower in front of me. Last time, I came to compete for the Inner House Leader Board Ranking.
Now it's time for setting the record for the Core House. Then my gaze shifted to the LeaderBoard Rankings.
Where I saw Lara White's name was shown in bold letters. A quick glint flashes in my eyes.
I wonder how strong she has become. Did she break through before me? I'm sure she is perhaps close to becoming a Level-6 wizard.
This kind of progress is frightening. But fortunately, I got a system to assist me. After removing the messy thought, I turned my gaze to the Battle Tower.
Many of the wizard students are coming and going. While some of them are gathered in groups to watch the change in rankings.
The competition is not only happening between the peers. But also between the respective wizard halls.
The next second, my mouth curves into an arc. "I can't wait to see the reaction of my enemies," I mumbled under my breath.
Then I started walking to the Battle Tower. The wizard groups are gossiping among themselves.
But when I got closer to the Battle Tower. I felt many gazes on me. Ignoring them, I stepped into the Battle Tower.
Swoosh~
The next second, I disappeared from the spot and appeared in a separate space.
Meanwhile,
A small commotion broke outside.
"Hey, did you see the face of that person?"
"Why does it feel familiar?"
"Is he Senior?"
A few wizard groups found something strange was happening. But they were a step behind to recognize the person's face.
In the Battle Tower,
I'm standing in the middle of nowhere. Everything is dark around me. Last time, I fought against Evil Corpse Soldiers. I wonder what the challenge is for level-5 wizards.
[Identity is confirmed.]
[Name: Vincent Carey]
[Wizard: Level-4 Gravity Mage]
[Hall: Sub-Taboo Hall]
[House: Inner]
[Battle Tower Ranking: 1]
Suddenly, I found a row of characters that appeared before me. Seeing that, I wasn't surprised. But the System is covering the breath of my true strength. I wonder whether there are going to be any changes later?
[Inner House Trail is complete]
[Do you wish to start the Core House Trial?]
[Select: Y/N]
Right after, another set of instructions came. Seeing that my worry was gone. Then I selected "Y" without thinking.
[Floor No: 1]
[The Challenge starts in 5 seconds!]
After hearing the familiar announcements. I became ready.
5 seconds later,
The environment changes. I found myself standing in the green color poison miasma. I also found water beneath my feet.
"This?" My eyes flickered with a slight glint.
I started to observe the surroundings. Is there any poisonous monster coming?
But as the seconds went by, I didn't come across any monsters or other creatures. Rather, I found the mists around me were deepening in green color.
I felt a sense of crisis from it.
[Ding! Warning]
[Host is getting affected by the real harmful environment.]
Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded in my mind.
The next moment, I felt goosebumps all over my body.
"What?" I blurted out in surprise. So far I have faced only phantom powers locked in this Battle Tower.
A look of understanding dawned on me. The phantom challenges were for the Outer House and Inner House Wizards.
And for the Core House and above, the Battle Tower Trials are going to be difficult.
"Why didn't Senior Gilbert alert me?" I muttered.
Then shaking my head, I turned my focus back to the environment. There is a way to test whether the environment here is real or not.
"Show me the status panel," I said to the system.
[Ding! The Host's command is recognized.]
[Ding! Level-Up System, 1.1 is ready.]

The status panel screen appeared. But looking at the negative points. My expression turned grave.
"It's affecting me," I said to myself.
After closing the panel, I looked at the green mists around me.
"Repulsive Force," I said.
The next second, a repulsive force was released from my body. Which drove the surrounding poisonous mists away from me.
Right after, the area around me became more clear. I also saw where the poisonous mists are coming from.
In front of me, there are green, ominous flower plants grown all over the ground. It's like I'm standing in the middle of the garden.
Then I saw the ground beneath me. It's water covering my feet. When I turned around to observe the area. I finally got the clue.
"It's a semi-wetland," I muttered.
