Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique

Chapter 480: Chapter 129 God’s Rod!_2

Jasmine walked over to Link, packing up the “off-road motorcycle” while she asked curiously.

Link scanned the area, based on the falling position of the light pillars, along with the two maps he made note of earlier, he judged, “The points where the light pillars fell are all around the direction of the Mesopotamia University team, they probably collectively withdrew from the team race.”

“Collective withdrawal? Why? How did they do that?”

Jasmine became even more puzzled.

Being in the wasteland’s task area was like being in the Dark Forest, teams from the same organization had no contact with each other.

So are set the rules of the competition area.

Long-distance magic tools lose their use unless there are special close-to-mid-range methods like the one between Link and Christina, making cross-team communication possible.

“I can’t guess why either. As for how?”

Link spoke, lifting his head to look again at the three “suns” stretching across the Wasteland, “In the competition, there must be spectators, referees, and judges. The team leaders of the Wizard Organizations, having the right to withdraw from the competition, is quite normal.”

“Is that so?”

Jasmine pondered thoughtfully.

According to Link’s inference, could it be that the Mesopotamia University’s team leader, seeing how formidable Link was, was worried about not getting good rankings, not only losing more educational resources but also losing too many potential talents of their own?

No one from the ten-member team of Flame and Metal Trading Company survived.

Such performance is indeed brutal.

“Never mind that, let’s go.”

Link waved his hand and led the team “Do Whatever We Want” to set off again on a silent march.

Vehicles leave traces and make noise, making it difficult to avoid the Reconnaissance Magic Tool’s scanning.

Walking on foot is more suited for stealth marching.

On the other hand.

Hawk Lucia glared at a cousin in anger, “I do not agree with this!”

It was not until then that he found out that his family had not only made preparations to deal with Link Grande themselves but also colluded with a team from Shadow City.

A traitor!

Is it that they think the school’s high-level view of the Lucia family is not bad enough?

Are they trying to force the school to impose harsh measures, punishing or even exterminating the Lucia family?

What are the clan leaders and elders thinking?

“It’s too late now, you have to go along with it even if you disagree.”

This cousin ignored Hawk’s anger, directly ordering the other three Lucias to restrain Hawk and bring him into a cave.

Inside were two people who were also firmly restrained.

These were people who didn’t obey the Lucia family’s orders from among these team’s other five members.

Keeping in mind that the family hasn’t made up its mind and also considering the state of mind of the three non-direct line members, the few members of the Lucia family didn’t go for the kill.

The two controlled people tactfully didn’t curse or threaten with “The school won’t let you go” and the like.

Instead, they sat quietly on the ground, allowing a few members of the Lucia family to lock their spiritual power and magic power.

They even took the initiative to extend their hands and feet, very cooperatively wearing handcuffs and shackles.

“Stay here. Do not scream or shout, and we ensure you’ll live.”

The cousin stuffed a gag into Hawk’s mouth and didn’t go to gag the other two’s mouths. “What we’re going to do has nothing to do with you, understand?”

“Understand.”

Both people stated together.

After doing all this, the four members of the Lucia family and three peripheral members disguised each other and left the cave.

Before leaving, the cousin came over to Hawk, looked at Hawk deeply for a long time, then leaned down and whispered in Hawk’s ear, “Remember, without the family, there would be no us. For the sake of the family’s interest, all sacrifices are necessary!”

After saying this, the cousin rejoined the team.

They pretended to meet a strong enemy, were defeated and seriously injured, and “scampered off” towards the direction of the task area’s center according to the way they negotiated with the bought-off Shadow City team.

In the cave.

Hawk calmed down, but still didn’t quite understand the meaning of the sentence his cousin said before leaving.

He twisted his body trying to break free, struggled hard to spit out the gag.

“Why aren’t you resisting?”

Hawk knew that shouting was useless, and he was unable to untie his bindings alone. So he eyed the two bound teammates and started talking.

“Why should we resist?”

One person questioned back.

“What’s the benefit of resisting?”

Another person followed up with another question.

“What they’re doing is wrong, we should stop them.”

Hawk said earnestly, “At this critical juncture, we can’t do anything detrimental to the school’s interests.”

Upon hearing this, the two people looked at Hawk as if looking at an idiot, silent for a long time.

After a long while, one of them leisurely said, “Finally, a member of the Lucia family who sees the situation clearly, knows that what we’re doing is not good, but still not clear enough.”

“Yeah, still not clear enough.”

The other one picked up his bowl, joining in. “You didn’t guess, or you don’t dare to guess that way?”

Then, the two said in unison, “Isn’t it obvious that the Lucia family is planning to defect?”

Hawk Lucia was struck by lightning.

Could it be, the clan leader and elders are so foolish?

Even these two ordinary First Level wizards, unknowns, had seen the family’s intentions.

Why insist on walking the path to perdition?

And to the point of opposing the school’s high-level officials.

Isn’t this suicide?

Hawk couldn’t figure it out, yet at the same time, he felt that something was wrong.

By now, the silhouettes of the “scampering” four members of the Lucia family and three peripheral members had already appeared in the scouting images of several teams.
