Chapter 506 Part 1: Dean’s Help
From MC's perspective:
When I walked outside. My gaze was immediately set on the leaderboard rankings. Seeing that the 30th floor was cleared today, my mouth curved into an arc.
Somehow I overcame the challenges today. Tomorrow is going to be even harder. I squinted my eyes before turning to the other side.
Uproar~
As usual small commotion breaks out after seeing the appearance of Vincent Carey. Some are surpassed while others show envy. The 30th-floor clearance was not a small feat.
Even some of the old students were stuck between the 25th floor and the 30th floor. Rarely, the core house wizard students were able to cross the 30th floor.
And undoubtedly all of them are genius students. So Vincent Carey right now can be rated as a genius student.
On the other hand, I swept my gaze. I don't know why so many people are gathered here. If it was yesterday, then it's understandable. People are surprised by my ability. So what now?
After taking a glance at the crowd, I started walking forward. Thankfully, no one stepped out to issue a challenge this time.
Then shaking my head, I slowly walked away from this place.
Meanwhile,
The eyes of the weapon wizard students are reddened. They thought that their Senior would come. But unfortunately, there was no sign of Henry Barlow.
More than them, the bloodline wizard groups are disappointed. They had expected to see some drama. But nothing sort of happened.
Then one by one the wizard students start to vacate the place. Soon the result of the leaderboard rankings was posted online. The ranks of Vincent Carey were especially eye-catching.
The news instantly became a hot topic. Not many can clear the 30th floor. After the 30th floor, the challenges would be an uphill battle. Many of the old students knew about this.
So they are most surprised by Vincent Carey's achievement.
...
Taboo Hall:
Mike Curtis looked gloomier than before. Unsurprisingly, the leaderboard ranking affected his mood as well.
He just came back from the family banquet. Vincent Carey's news reached his ears quickly then.
"I underestimated him," Mike said to himself. While adjusting his tie. He feared Vincent would break his record earlier.
Now his fear was justified. It means that Vincent has the strength to repeat the record of Lara White.
Who is she? She is the talented genius of the Taboo Hall. But Vincent Carey was just a Sub-Taboo Hall person. He is stealing the limelight from everyone.
Mike is getting agitated. He was also aware that Vincent Carey didn't accept the duel challenge issued by Henry Barlow.
Nothing is going in his way. When he felt slightly down and decided to take some rest.
Beep~
A sudden message attracted his attention. Right after, reading the message. His expression changes drastically for a good reason.
"Teacher is back," Mike uttered in surprise. Like Lara White, he too has a teacher. But he was away for some time.
Mike never thought that his teacher would return this time. His mood becomes brighter instantly.
He immediately left the Hall to meet him.
...
Tower:
Like everyone else, the news also reached the dean's ears. But the old man was not happy. He recalled the threat issued by the bloodline powerhouse.
"That kid will be in danger soon," The old man muttered to himself. His eyes slightly dimmed. The powerhouses are clear with their thoughts.
They are going to support their wizard hall no matter what. Even if the bloodline Hall breaks the rules and commits a crime, the bloodline powerhouse won't say anything.
The old man's eye is set on the leaderboard rankings. The gravity kid's performance was not enough to attract the attention of the Supreme Elders.
He knows that the powerhouses are aware of Vincent Carey's presence. But because of the Supreme Elder and academy rules. They won't act blatantly.
But through their wizard hall, they can cause damage to Sub-Taboo Hall. The old man feels helpless. Even though he is the dean and the supreme wizard.
But in front of the powerhouses, he couldn't do anything.
"If the gravity kid can clear the remaining floors, then the supreme elders might listen to us," The old man said to himself.
There is always a way. But it depends on the performance of the gravity kid. But the old man doesn't know whether Vincent has the strength to clear the rest of the floor.
Which is not easy. And everyone knows why Lara White was able to accomplish such a feat. Her Taboo magic was powerful. Especially her power output turns manifold during the domain spells.
But not that many are clear about Vincent Carey's gravity magic. The old generation has read the records about the late gravity ancestor. Where the late ancestor had himself created some of his spells during his period.
So not many are optimistic about Vincent Carry. The dean feels guilty because of his inaction. But that doesn't mean that they can't provide other support to Vincent Carey.
The old man then summoned the Sub-Taboo Hall elder from the council. The person he called was none other than the white-bearded elder.
The white-bearded elder has connections with Gilbert Reese. Through him, they can monitor the activities of Vincent Carey.
Soon a person entered the majestic tower.
"Galvin, you are here," The dean said.
The white-bearded elder walked into the room with a solemn expression on his face. To the dean's greeting, he responded with a smile.
The dean told him to take a seat. Elder Galvin touches his white beard before taking the seat. He was clueless about this sudden summoning.
"Dean, is there any news?" Elder Galvin. The most he could think of was the recent high-level meeting. But no conclusion was reached in that meeting.
He thought maybe the dean had found some answers.
The old man revealed a bitter smile on his face. He can't reveal the threat issued by the bloodline powerhouse.
Otherwise, Galvin would contact his Sub-Taboo Hall powerhouse. Then the problem would become something else.
