Chapter 498 A System Update Object?
From MC's perspective:
Creak~
After stepping inside the room, I closed the room. Then I prepare to take a bath.
Several minutes later,
Laying down in the bed, I couldn't help but ponder the next course of action. Henry Barlow's appearance made it clear that my performance had attracted the attention of the old students.
The Bloodline Hall, the Elemental Hall and now the Weapon Hall's people are troubling me. A cold glint flashes in my eyes.
I don't know whether it's intentional or unintentional. But I'm not going to take it. The world is already cruel enough. If they think I'm naive and good, they are totally wrong.
Right now, I'm not clear about the Sub-Taboo Hall's intention. If they back me up fully, then I'll hit the Bloodline Hall and other hostile factions hard.
But from looking at past things, they won't do anything unless I inherit the knowledge and power of the late gravity ancestor.
And in the meantime, they would turn blind eye to the Bloodline Hall's actions. After figuring it out, I sneered. The Sub-Taboo hall was not at all good.
They don't care about the average wizard. Only genius qualified to attract their attention. I'm also keeping my anger down because of the system.
If I attract too much attention, it might be counter productive. Some of the old monsters in the academy may peep into my talent.
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. My awakening talent was average to begin with. Already people are raising some doubts. Including Senior Gilbert and Sister Carolina.
But so far none of them pointed out directly. Since I'm a sub-taboo grade wizard. They think my perverted strength comes from magic itself.
So it's better to pretend and stay low key for the time being. If I gain absolute authority and control in the future, then I'll tear up the disguise.
Phew~
After taking a deep breath. I decided to sleep. But before that a sudden message brought my thoughts back.
Beep~
Then I read the text message. My eyes flickered. The message was from Senior Gilbert.
What is he calling me for? A doubt appeared in my heart. Is it because of the duel challenge?
My expression turned dark. Then I got up from the bed and began to change my clothes.
After getting ready, I left the room. It's already night time. When I walked out of the dorm building.
Nobody was there to spy on me. Shaking my head, I started walking towards the academy building.
Several minutes later,
I arrived before the Sub-Taboo hall. After verifying my identity, I walked into the room.
Then I saw someone sitting down on the sofa. He was none other than Gilbert Reese.
"Senior Gilbert?" I called out, looking at him.
"Oh, you are here," Gilbert Reese responded with a smile. His attire was an Elder House Uniform. Which was eye catching. Befitting for a level-7 Wizard.
I stood in a daze for a moment. It still feels like yesterday. When Senior Gilbert was True House Wizard.
A smile bitterly in my heart. Senior Gilbert's talent was a grade higher than me. So it makes sense.
Gilbert saw Vincent looking at his clothes.
"Well, it's my new uniform. Don't worry, you will reach that step too," Gilbert said.
"Really?" I blurted out of surprise.
"Ha..Ha..Ha..,I asked you to come here because of this reason. Let's go to my place," Gilbert added further.
A surprise glint flashes in my eyes. Looks like the higher ups of the Sub-Taboo Hall are making some moves.
My mouth curved into an arc. Then Senior Gilbert brought me to his place. It was a mansion with a huge garden. But what was shocking was that this place was located in an isolated space.
Gilbert Reese saw through his thoughts. He chuckled and said,"Looks like you have guessed it right."
"The mansion was located in an isolated space. But well within the space of the Sub-Taboo Hall. The Core House is located at the outer part of the space."
"We are now deep inside," He added with a mysterious smile.
At the same time, my heart is set on storms. I thought that the Battle Tower and Special Class environment was one such place.
But now I have realized even the core house was not a real part of the academy. Shockingly, I'm able to understand. Why is the academy not paying much attention?
Then my expression recovered a bit. I did well by pretending low key.
Gilbert nodded at Vincent. One of the reasons he brought him here is to make him understand the reality.
Vincent has potential but he is still not qualified to make Elders move. The only thing that could change Vincent's fate was inheritance.
"Let's go inside,"Gilbert said.
Hearing that I followed him to enter the mansion.
After walking inside, I suddenly felt the mana was much more purer and dense.
Gasp~
I couldn't help but suck cold breath of air. Without running the Gravity Ark mental method, I'm able to feel the gray mana particles from the surroundings.
"Sit down, this was nothing. In the Training Chamber the mana concentration was even higher than this place," After saying that, Gilbert Reese sat down on the sofa.
My heart was beating faster. It took me some seconds to adjust my emotions. Are you kidding me?
At this plate even average talented wizards can become giants by practicing here. But soon I understood the reality.
The academy can't afford the price. Only qualified wizards are able to enjoy this blessing.
Sigh~
A soft sigh left my mouth.
"Don't be so stressed. I came here to tell you some good news."
"Our dean was back from his trip," Gilbert said with a smile on his face. He was truly happy. Only the dean can make bloodline maniacs shut up.
If the Bloodline Hall was put up in their place, their supporters would follow the same.
"He is back?" My eyes widened in surprise. I felt unknown shackles break up at this moment. I'm feeling my body light all of a sudden.
Gilbert saw Vincent's emotions. He can really feel from him. It's not easy to stay away from the academy for 2 months. Especially in hostile countries.
But Vincent's efforts are not vain. The elders are going to talk to the dean. He believes they are currently in the meeting.
Meanwhile, I wanted to laugh out loud. It was so depressing under the constant threat of the Bloodline Hall.
Now I can safely walk around the academy and the Capital City.
"Senior, is there any news?" I asked.
Gilbert nodded his head before saying,"Wait, I believe the meeting is happening right now. We will get to hear the answers soon."
Hearing that I nodded at him in response.
In the meantime, I decided to close my eyes and wait.
10 minutes later,
Beep~
A notification sound brought my thoughts back. But it was not mine but Senior Gilbert's.
Gilbert Reese read the message. The dean summoned him right now.. Seeing that his expression became solemn.
"Vincent, wait for me here. I'm going to attend the meeting," After saying that, Gilbert disappeared from the spot.
"This speed?" A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes.
But the next moment, an evil grin appeared on my face. I can't wait to vent out my pent up frustration.
But I hope the dean would be neutral on this issue. Then shaking my head, I decided to take a look around the mansion.
The mansion was huge. I began to check one room after another. There are multiple bedrooms and store rooms.
After walking past one of the rooms. Suddenly my footsteps stopped.
[Ding! The object for system update is detected.]
[Host is advised to collect the object.]
A mechanical voice sounded in my mind. But I remained motionless for a moment. But my heart was in turmoil again.
"A system update object but not a talent upgrade one?" I muttered in my heart.
Right, the talent upgrade requires special relics. It's not easy to come across that relic.
But I'm surprised by the system upgrade object. A quick glint flashes in my eyes. Then I began to look for the object.
It was certainly not in the bedrooms. After a few minutes, I stood in front of the row of antique items. "Senior Gilbert has such hobbies," I mumbled under my breath.
The system notification is still ringing in my mind. But a round metal like object attracted my attention. When I walked closer to the object. The notification sound increases all of a sudden.
Then I picked up the white metal ball.
[Ding! The system update object detected]
[Name: Level1 Space Red Stone]
[Whether to upgrade the System or not: Y/N]
My heart rate rose up all of sudden. Looking at the item in my hand, my eyes flickered. This was actually an object from outer space.
I couldn't help but recall my first encounter with the System. Meteor and this Red Stone are objects from outer space.
Looks like I have to look for a similar object in future. Senior Gilbert has brought me not one good news but two.
He may not know but this red stone was more valuable than the result of their meeting. Then I canceled the update and placed the item in a storage bracelet. The mansion might have monitoring items.
It's not safe to consume the item right now.
