Chapter 56 Truce?
(From MC Perspective)
"Liam, Are you out of your fu***"g mind?" Mr. Wallace cursed out loud.
Liam and other bottom rankers petrified didn't dare to look at him. Who would have thought the situation would escalate like this? Liam wanted to say something but he closed his mouth.
Liam is really aggrieved, Logically speaking Mr. Wallace as a Class Teacher, He should be on his side. He is confused as to why he is not supporting him.
Looking at their scared expression, Mr. Wallace snorted and looked back at the security guard and asked, "Marcus, What happened here?" He was actually aware of the earlier dispute. But he doesn't know when Marcus arrived here.
Just as he was questioning, there were other footsteps that could be heard from the entrance. But this time it's the sound of heels.
Ms. Rivers came with an annoyed expression on her face. When she spotted everyone her eyes immediately set on Vincent Carey. Walking towards him she asked, "What happened?"
I sighed in relief when I saw her. Hearing her question, I nodded and answered, "Liam and his friends wanted to teach me some lesson. Soon a fight broke out between us. Fortunately, Mr. Marcus interfered in time to stop us hurting each other."
I explained carefully without exaggerating anything. If i start to spew some nonsense it will create a bad impression of me.
Marcus Cole looked at Vincent in an appreciative gaze. Because Vincent didn't play any victim card. He just told it as it is.
Even Mr. Wallace was stunned. He thought Vincent would complain about the situation. But he hadn't expected such an eloquent answer. Suddenly, He thought of something. It's not too late to gain Vincent's favor. He had an idea of gifting some rare treasure to Vincent.
There are some useless treasures in his hands. Due to the low level they weren't useful for him. Initially he planned to give it to his students. But none of them seemed pleasant to his eyes. On top of it, the majority of his students were rich. They might look at his treasure with disgust. So he forgot about the matter until now.
Ms. Rivers' eyes shone with surprise. Initially she was annoyed. But looking at the things here the ball is in their court all long. So they are not on the receiving end. After confirming it with Vincent's words. She went on to an offensive node.
She looked at Mr. Wallace said, " A1 Class Teacher, Looks like you forgot the warning given by our Headmaster. You told your student to group up and attack my student. Luckily, Marcus was present here. If not?"
Before she continues to say, Mr. Wallace interjects, "Ahem, I have never told anyone to target Vincent. This guy here is the friend of those three who were bed ridden. He might have come here on impulse."
Mr. Wallace tries to justify his words. Even though he didn't like Liam's actions. He still has to do his job as their Class Teacher.
"Harumph" Ms. Rivers snorted back immediately.
Liam gritted his teeth in anger. He knows everything now lies in the A2 Class Teacher's hands. He doesn't know what the conversation happened between them and the Headmaster.
Mr. Wallace quickly realised he didn't want things to reach the Head Master's ears. He needs to end this matter here as quickly as possible. He immediately glanced at the important person here. His life saving straw is Vincent. As long as he convinces Vincent everything would be fine.
He quickly walked towards him, "Vincent, Only you can put an end to this matter. I can promise you no one from Class A1 will disturb you here after."
"Wallace, What do you think of us?" Ms. Rivers questioned in a dissatisfied tone. She clearly remembers Wallace was the one who went to the headmaster to complain about Vincent. Now he is sweet talking to save himself.
I'm stunned hearing bickering between these two. But it was nice to hear confirmation from him. If Class A1 students didn't disturb me hereafter, Then it would be really peaceful.
Mr. Wallace feels irritated by her words. He turned around and said, "I'm not asking without offering a gift" after saying that he looked back at Vincent and commented, "I will give you a grade 1 exotic flower in exchange for truce. What do you say?"
Ms. Rivers was stunned hearing that Grade 1 Exotic? It's not much attractive to them. But for rookie like Level 1 Rankers, it's very much helpful to them. But even giving away such a grade 1 treasure is no joke. It will cost lots of money. She hadn't expected from Wallace to give away such a gift to Vincent.
But at this time she saw Vincent was looking at her. He seems to want to know her opinion. She nodded and commented, "If he is really offering such a treasure then we can end this matter here on one condition."
Mr. Wallace turned towards her and asked, "What is it?"
"Like you said earlier, Hereafter no one will come after Vincent. But not only him, I want no one to come after my Class A2 students. " Ms. Rivers said with a smile.
Hearing her saying my students from time to time, Mr. Wallace twitched. But to save his position as A1 Class Teacher he reluctantly agreed. "Okay, Fine." He said. Then looking at Vincent He said, "I will give it to you before the end of today's classes."
After saying that he turned towards Marcus and asked finally, "You won't interfere with it, won't you?" Mr. Wallace knew according to rule, This situation should be handled by the security guard. If it were an admin then this would be a different matter. Since it's Marcus he hopes for him to turn a blind eye.
Marcus Cole smiled and said, "Fortunately, No one is injured. Apart from some damage done to the ground. There is nothing serious here"
Mr. Wallace twitched. "So, you want me to pay for the damages." He said in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry, I'll look into it."
Marcus smiled hearing that and answered, "Then it's fine for me." After saying that he left the place before nodding at both of them.
Mr. Wallace didn't stay at this place any longer. He left with Liam and other students to go back to his class.
Finally, Only Ms. Rivers and Vincent Carey stood alone in this place.
Ms. Rivers smilingly looked at Vincent and said, "You reaped big rewed this time. Normally Grade 1 treasure would cost several hundred alliance points."
I nodded, wondering what variety of exotic flowers he had. Each had different functionality. What I prefer is something to boost my talent. But I can't ask exclusively for this. I have to wait and see myself.
Ms. Rivers didn't mind Vincent's absence. She thought Vincent might be excited about the treasure. She smiled and said, "Let's go back to our class."
...
Head Master's Cabin,
Mr. Collins is looking at a chunk of reports on his desk. Most of them were financial ones. Running such a mage school is no joke. It's only a small scale school but it's consuming his whole energy.
He can't imagine the workload of mage schools at the capital. Capital of our country is the birthplace of elite schools. Even the size of one elite school is comparable to the size of a normal college in our province.
Just as he was sulking about his fate. The small rune on his desk is lit up suddenly. Seeing that his expression condensed. These days people commonly use Virtual systems to communicate. Only in secretive cases, mages will use rune communication.
Before responding to the rune communication. He informed his attendant to not disturb him unless he calls him. After making sure everything was okay, he responded to the rune communication.
The Black color rune is arranged in a circle. In the center of it a dark silhouette can be seen. The person is wearing a mage robe and mask. It's difficult to identify such a person. But Mr. Collins identified in one glance.
Seeing the person his expression turned bright but he asked solemnly, "What happened to you? I have been trying to contact you for a while. Yet there is no response. "
The dark silhouette replied, "It's none of your business. Just tell me what do you want."
Mr. Collins raised his eyebrows, but he didn't continue to poke into his matter. He answered, "I want you to kill someone."
The dark silhouette didn't surprise me when I heard that. He had already guessed it and said, "If it's a level 4 Mage, then you should try someone else." The previous injury he got from level 4 mage has not been recovered so far. So he didn't want to face another one at this time.
Mr. Collins smiled hearing that, it's really embarrassing to say. But he doesn't know how he will react after hearing him.
