Chapter 74 Part 2: Confrontation
Seeing the kid moving backwards, the old man disappeared from his spot. His speed was so fast that in a blink of an eye he appeared in front of Vincent Carey.
"Heart Kill"
He extended the knife from his sleeves and made a stab at his heart location. When the tip of the knife nears Vincent's heart.
Suddenly, Vincent casts a spell.
"Gravity Push"
When the spell was cast, the surrounding atmosphere tightened around him. A terrific gravitation force released from Vincent's body. In that instant the old man Marcus took the direct brunt of the attack.
As the old man was so close to him, the pale grey color gravitational force released from Vincent slammed with a full force of 500kgs.
""What?" The old Man spurted blood from his mouth in disbelief. As he flew backward like a broken kite, due to fierce impact, the multiple bones in his body began to crack.
Feeling the pain, the old man was even more horrified, "No, It's impossible." While murmuring he crashed on the ground.
The old man is sure of himself that he can exert 600kgs of pressure with his strength at his level. So facing the rookie mage like Vincent, he doesn't have any scruples left.
He stabbed at Vincent's heart with full force. Yet the result was horrifying, the old man felt that he was hit by force of more than 300 kgs.
As he was lying on the ground, the old man felt dizzy. He clutched his head in pain and tried to get hold of himself. But unfortunately before he could get on his feet.
Another horrible force applied on him from above.
"Gravitational Field"
As the terrible pressure of 500Kgs applied on his body, he directly planted on the ground. His cracked bones were crushed under further pressure.
"Ahhhhh" He screamed back in agonizing pain, as a result he directly fainted on the spot.
(From Mc Pov)
"So his strength is not able to withstand my gravitational pressure." I muttered while checking his crushed body.
"What to do?" I muttered while looking at the surroundings.
I'm not worried about exposing myself. Since I'm part of the Police Department. So it's natural for me to hand him over to the officials. Seeing that old man fainted, there is no need for me to beat him further.
It's a pity not to kill him right now. I won't gain much by killing him. But If I hand him over to the department, Captain Tyler will reward me for sure. This guy is especially from Poison Dagger. So his intel must be valuable.
Before making a call to the police officials, I took his storage ring from his finger. And checked his belongings to see whether there is valuable material or not left in his body.
I was dumbfounded by looking at his body. This old man really took his job seriously. If not for the system, I wouldn't have suspected him as a killer. The old man was perfect in the beggar role. Even his natural face suits the homeless appearance.
Earlier, two gravitational spells attracted some commotion. People from two shops stepped outside to check. But after seeing the old beggar on the ground, there is only one thought in their mind that he is dead.
They also recognise the appearance of Vincent near the old beggar. But after seeing his Magic School Jersey, they become even more hesitant. Since they are humans, no one wants to find trouble with Mage. Even if it's a rookie Mage.
But some of the pedestrians were courageous. They directly reported to the officials about the incident.
I saw people begin to gather around the street. But they are afraid to come closer towards me.
I remain indifferent to their gazes. I called the control room and reported the matter to them. I hid my identity, Instead of telling them my status as a School Student, I told them my part timer ID. It will be easier for them to identify me.
After reporting them, I didn't wait for them and decided to contact Captain Tyler. I know it will take some time for nearby officials to reach here. I specifically asked for Level 2 Mage. Even If the old man tries to rebel, he can't stand against the level 2 Mage.
When the call was connected to Captain Tyler instantly, I was surprised. "Vincent, What is it ? I hope you didn't call me for doubt." From the other side of the call, Captain Tyler thought Vincent had some doubts about the work.
Hearing his words, I smiled wryly and replied, "Captain Tyler, I got attacked by a Poison Dagger Killer."
"What?" Captain Tyler exclaimed in disbelief. For a moment, He got speechless. Right now, they are planning to ride the BlueWing hotel. Yet on the other hand Vincent Carey was attacked by rogues from the same faction.
As a veteran Mage he quickly collected his thoughts and asked back, "Are you alright?" If anything happens to Vincent, then implications would be severe. He got a cold chill back on his spine by thinking about it.
"Ahem, I'm fine Captain. I just got lucky." I said.
Captain Tyler sighed in relief. "Then Brief me about the situation." He hurriedly asked back. Beside him the rest of the teammates were in confusion. They don't know what's going on, but seeing his flustered expression. A bad premonition rose in their heart.
Seeing that he wants to know about the situation. I understand that it must be hard for him to believe that I'm alive. Then shaking my head, I begin to explain the situation slowly.
At first Captain Tyler's expression was solemn. He is troubled that there might be some intelligence failure. How come they target Vincent all of a sudden? He is just a school student. Is it because of his Part time job? While listening to Vincent's explanation, multiple questions pop into his mind.
But when Vincent told him about the old man's ending, Captain Tyler twitched. He replied, "Looks like your sub taboo magic saved your life. Even at the infant stage, your magic can contend against lvl.1 veterans. It's really horrible." Captain Tyler felt a hint of envy by hearing Vincent.
After hearing the full explanation, He commented, "You did good by not killing him. We need as much as intel from him. I'll make a call to transfer him to our Headquarters cell." He is happy that there is going to be a breakthrough in the Poison Dagger mission.
Then he suddenly thought of something and added, "Don't worry, You will get a huge reward for your performance."
"Thank you, Captain," I said.
Captain Tyler ended the call with that.
Then I glanced at the old man's body for verification. He is so old that his body couldn't sustain the injury. But fortunately, it's just a few broken bones. There is no danger to his life.
I glanced around and found few people were taking pictures of me. I frowned but didn't confront them. Helding my chin up, I pondered. If the matter were known to school management. What will they do?
I grinned, "It will be some sight to see." There is a high possibility that they will transfer me to Class A1 right away. And I don't have to seek help from Mr. John Meyers. But I shake my head, Two plans are better than one. Let's see which one's going to work.
Time progresses,
20 Minutes later,
Team of 7 reaches the spot immediately. They were Police Mages dispatched by the department. Laurenz Glazer, Level 2 Fire Mage approached Vincent immediately. Beside him, Emilio Reidl, Level 2 Healing Mage also follows him.
I saw a group of people coming towards me. By looking at their green color mage robe. I realised they are from the Police Department.
Laurenz Glazer, the middle-aged official, first looks at the body of a fainted old man. After checking his vitality, he gestures his assistant Emilio to pick up the old man Marcus Egger.
Mr. Emilio looks at Vincent in disbelief. "When did School Students become so terrifying?" He thought to himself. Then after listening to Boss Laurenz words, he moved to carry old man Marcus. Old man is just a level 1 Mage. His body can be easily lifted by level 2 Mage.
Before moving him, he puts magic handcuffs on his hands then casts a lvl.2 healing spell on the old man.
Then Mr. Laurenz turned towards Vincent, "You must be Vincent Carey. Am I right?"
Hearing his words I nodded in reply.
Mr. Laurenz observes Vincent from top to bottom and said, "Though, it's really shocking to see but you have done great job. We had already received a call from Captain Tyler. So we are planning to move him to the Head Quarter's cell. "
I smiled back and replied, "It's my duty to stop the menace(rogues) of the society."
His words stunned both of them. "Isn't he just a part timer?" Mr. Laurenz said to himself. Then why doesn't he talk like a typical School Student. Mr. Laurenz smiled wryly thinking about Vincent's words.
Then Mr. Laurenz bid goodbye to Vincent and went away with captured old man Marcus.
