Chapter 485 Part 7: Battle Tower Trial (Core House)
Battle Tower:
In the LeaderBoard Rankings, Vincent Carey's name went up further. Which shows he has cleared the 4th floor successfully.
Gasp~
Right after another commotion broke out. The wizard students are shocked by Vincent Carey's clearance speed.
This time even the core house wizards are showing some interest. Before everyone thought Vincent must have broken through recently.
But the Leader Board Rankings shows much more information. The Battle Trials for Core House Wizards are different. Because from the Core House wizards and above are the real assets of the Academy.
The academy would protect and provide them resources and facilities as long as they perform well. So this time Vincent's actions would gain approval from the academy.
Because of this the wizard halls are alarmed.
Carolina Slate stood dumbstruck. Even though she had expected a great performance from Vincent. But the speed he has been doing it baffled her.
Suddenly, an unknown worry appears in her heart. What if the bloodline hall tries to do something? She has great respect for the academy.
But at the same time, she knows the power of the bloodline hall in the academy. They have a great number of wizards.
She hopes that academy higher ups would be upright.
The Sub-Taboo Hall,
Gilbert Reese revealed a bright smile looking at the newsfeed. He is following the live updates of Vincent's trial.
After knowing that Vincent has cleared the 4th floor. Gilbert thought he underestimated Vincent Carey.
andasnovel.com That kid was not in the academy for almost 2 months. Normally, his progression should have been dropped.
But in contrast he is performing overwhelmingly. It almost looks like he has been practicing hard in the academy the whole time.
But he was glad that Vincent is doing well. In this way, it would be easier for Vincent to get the Gravity Ancestor's resources. If that happens, the Sub-Taboo Hall's power would increase.
And they can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Taboo Hall Wizard. Thinking about it, his eyes flickered.
The Taboo Hall:
Meanwhile, someone in the Taboo Hall can't sit still. Mike Curtis' eyes flickered with a cold glint. Like many, level-5 wizards. He is also following Vincent Carey's Battle Tower Trials.
He didn't expect Vincent Carey to perform this well right after the breakthrough. "I thought he was just a passer by but looks like he is going to cause a disturbance here," He muttered to himself.
Mike Curtis is aware that Vincent's existence might cause a shift in balance between the wizard halls.
Now that he is starting to show good performance, many people's interest will be affected.
But for him, Vincent Carey is posing a greater threat. A beautiful face comes to his mind.
"Lara," Mike mumbled under his breath. Both of them are Taboo Wizards. But he feels she is showing more interest in Vincent Carey.
Is it because both of them are classmates in the Special class? He doesn't think so. When he asked Lara at that time.
He recalled a cold rebuttal of her.
"Harumph"
"It doesn't change the fact that Vincent will be under greater threat from now onwards," Mike said to himself.
He knows the academy will protect Vincent. But when it comes to safety of their interest. The wizard halls won't sit back and watch.
There will be more turmoil in the coming days.
Sooner or later, Vincent Carey will disappear. He doesn't have to do anything. The wizard halls will act on their own interest.
Then he can freely pursue Lara. When he realized, his expression softened a little. Whatever happens in the academy. It doesn't affect the hegemony of a few wizard halls.
Which include the Taboo hall. With such a backing behind the back. Mike Curtis feels a lot more relaxed. He was not affected anymore by the changes of the Leaderboard Rankings.
The Bloodline Hall,
Tony Burnett is laying down on his bed. He appeared to be completely lost. After the meeting with that dangerous woman, he directly came back to his room and shut himself.
He wasn't in the mood for practice. At the same time, he didn't have courage to inform his father. His father is the current head of the Burnett Clan.
And he himself is the current young master of the family. The Clan members are expecting great things from him.
If things go normal, he is likely to become the next head of the family. Now everything comes crashing down.
Tony starts to regret his actions. It all starts from his desire of acquiring the bloodline improvisation potion.
Because of that greed, he was used by the narrow minded higher ups.
If he had shown some patience, he would become the True House Wizard naturally. After reaching level-6 wizard, he would gain extra protection from the academy.
If it happens even the bloodline won't dare to dispose of him easily. Now he is just a Core House Member.
The academy also gives protection to level-5 wizards like him. But for the Bloodline Hall higher ups it's just a matter of bending some rules.
A bitter smile appeared on his face. How foolish he was back then? The bloodline hall tells everybody belongs to one family. But that's not the case when you climb up the ladder.
People will act on self interest. He has gotten clear by now. For self interest the higher ups won't hesitate to sacrifice a few people.
Then shaking his head, he pushed down these thoughts. His attention turned to the Battle Tower Trails. The entire academy is now focusing on this news.
Tony's eyes flickered. He and Vincent Carey share some connection. Both are trying to survive. It's just that he was threatened by his own hall.
Whereas Vincent Carey was protected by his own hall. But Tony's eyes showed a firm determination. He probably won't survive.
But at least nothing bad would happen to the clan. He made up his mind to consume the forbidden potion during the duel.
He didn't plan on running away or telling his family. These actions would be labeled by the bloodline Hall.
Whereas whether the higher ups would honor their promise or not. He doesn't think too much about it. Because he has no other choice.
...
From MC's Perspective:
While refining the energy. I saw monster numbers have increased again. So I stopped refining and cast the spell.
"Repulsive Force," I uttered.
A repelling power released from the body. And it immediately swept away the surrounding monsters.
Their bodies broke down and the parts splattered on the ground in different directions.
Seeing that my eyes flickered. No other monsters would disturb me for a few minutes.
Then I hurriedly started to refine the energy.
10 minutes later,
I opened my eyes, feeling recovered to peak. To confirm it, I decided to look up the status panel.
"Show me the status panel," I said to the system in mind.

The status panel appeared. Then I saw the full attributes status and small increase in core progression. I sighed in relief.
Now this will help me to clear further dangers hiding in this round.
I stood up and started to observe the hot desert again. Then I started walking in the east direction.
Hiss~
Shortly after, a hissing sound broke my thoughts.
When I looked around, I found a human sized snake head looking at the front. Seeing that a look of disbelief appeared on my face.
Because I saw the monster's head popping at the front but the rest of body was hiding under the snake.
I don't know how large the actual size of the monster is?
Hiss~
The snake monster hissed again. The next second, the snake monster dashed forward. It was so fast that any enemy would be caught off guard.
[Ding! Warning]
When the mechanical voice sounded in my mind. In a reflex, I cast the magic spell in a response.
"Repulsive Force," I uttered.
The snake monster was first. It quickly arrived before its prey but that moment repulsive force hit the snake monster.
Boom~
The next moment, a huge body crashed on the nearby sand dunes. A dense dust particle rose up from the ground. At the same time, I felt the ground beneath me was sinking.
