Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

(From MC's perspective)

When he finished his words, my instincts told me to use the magic right away.

Seeing the hunchbacked old man, I smirked.

"Gravity Field," I said.

A tremendous pressure appeared out of nowhere. It immediately applied to the hunchbacked old man.

The hunchbacked old man was caught off guard. Feeling terrible pressure, he felt this power is no less than a level-5 wizard. Before he could realize it, the gravitational pressure injured him.

Pfff

He coughed up blood. His body begins to crumble down as seconds go by. Feeling the horror, his gaze set on the brat who was smiling at him.

Seeing that his chest got tightened further. "Who are you?" These were his last words before he collapsed on the ground. And fell completely dead.

At the same time, I cancelled my spell and quickly walked towards the hunchbacked old man. I need to hurry before the magic attracts anyone else.

The hunchbacked old man's body has several cracks. But it didn't turn into meat paste. I have to say that this old man's body is strong.

I used my thoughts to collect the old man's body into system space. There is plenty of time ahead to check what is going on.

But right now I'm leaving this old street.

A few minutes later,

I arrived at my home. But I saw no one inside the house. "It's shift time again," I muttered to myself. But they are lucky, otherwise, it would have been impossible to escape from the hunchbacked old man.

Then I walked upstairs to get into my room.

Creak

After closing the door, I disappeared from the spot and appeared inside the Gregor Mansion.

Having such a huge mansion for myself. It's really useful. Then standing in the middle of the hallway. I summoned the corpse of a hunchbacked old man.

The next second, the corpse appeared.

I bent down and began to search his body. Fortunately, the storage bracelet is intact. I removed the storage bracelet from his body.

Then my gaze fell on his communication watch. Which is still active. It's a good thing that I didn't summon his corpse outside.

Otherwise, it will be easier for an enemy to know my location. Because of the system, their tracking will be hindered. They can only end up locating the old street.

A quick glint flashed in my eyes. I used my system to probe him. After looking at his details, I sucked a cold breath. Level-5 wizard. Earlier, I assumed this might be the case.

That's why I used gravity magic immediately. But right after confirming the details, I sucked a cold breath of air.

Last time, it was a level-4 wizard. But thanks to Mr John. The assassin was apprehended by him successfully. For some time, I thought there would be no further problems.

But looking at the old man's cold corpse. I feel otherwise, I can only assume people were waiting for an opportunity to kill me. If not for my level-2 rank coupled with the power of gravity pressure. I would have planted today.

Thinking about it, a cold sweat appeared on my face. For the first time, I felt fortunate in my decision. I decided to be low-key. Which helped me greatly and this time my low-key manner saved me from the threat.

To think the dark league has sent a level-5 wizard to kill me. Now that he is removed, they will assume that he was killed by someone else.

"Dark League," I remember. I couldn't remember when I offended them. As far as I know, the only enemy mine was poison dagger. Thankfully, they were uprooted by the local police force.

Does the poison dagger have anything to do with the dark league? Then shaking my head, I denied that thought.

Mr John had already spoken to me about this. The dark league is killing young talented seeds everywhere. Especially those who are related to the yellow river academy.

It is such a feud, I wonder what happened between them. Then retracting those thoughts, I looked at the corpse. I should dump it somewhere else.

But I don't have time for this. Tomorrow is the division duels for my class. If my assumption is correct, then I will fight first.

Then I made up my mind to dump the corpse inside the wilderness. The wilderness is the best place to dispose of the body. Likely an old man's corpse will be eaten by monsters.

After figuring out everything, I decided to check the communication watch. Fortunately, the watch is active and he didn't seem to be putting any restrictions on it.

The old man probably would have thought he wouldn't die. So he didn't like the cumbersome process. But thanks to him, I'm going to see who is behind this attack.

I tapped the communication watch and accessed the message icon.

[Unknown]

Seeing that my eyes gleamed with a twinkle, and then I began to read the conversation between the unknown and the hunchbacked old man.

After five minutes, a cold glint flashed in my eyes. I had never expected my existence to attract the attention of the dark league's headquarters.

For a moment, my mind went blank. I felt all numb. From the day of awakening to this day, I thought everything was under my control. But after reading those messages, I understand something else going on behind the walls.

After a few minutes, I took a deep breath to calm myself. The dark league headquarters is probably run by advanced-rank wizards. They offered the old man one rank 6 resources for my head.

They are distributing rank 6 resources. So the person behind the attack is likely a level-6 wizard and above.

Even thinking about it, my heart starts to beat faster.

If I stay here, then my mood will worsen. So much so that I decided to check the storage bracelet later.

Then I disappeared from the spot and appeared inside my room. I saw the communication watch and the time remains the same.

Regarding the Gregor mansion, I started to notice a few things. Especially, I feel the magic of time is playing here. But I'm not at a level to explore such profound magic.

So I put these topics behind me for future purposes. Then I went to the bath to take a cold shower. I changed into comfortable clothes a few minutes later.

For tomorrow's duels, there is no need to practice. At my current level, I can easily defeat rank 5 wizards and forget about my classmates. The image of an old man's corpse comes to mind.

Laying on the bed, I pondered. The old man's body didn't turn into a paste. So that's my current limit. Right now at my level-2 power, I can skip ranks and fight against a level-5 wizard.

Which are 3 levels higher than me. What if the dark league sends the rank 6 wizard next? As this thought rose a cold chill went down my spine.

There is a reason for my win against the level-5 wizard. Because I took initiative to put him down first. Then shaking my head, I began to go through the online articles.

My gloomy mood begins to disappear after seeing several posts. This time the name of Judy Owens was covered in every news article. And in very few posts, I can see the news about Eric Marsh.

After reading a couple of them, I saw articles regarding tomorrow's duel. People already started debating about this and some even declared Brent Dale as a final winner.

I let out a small chuckle before continuing the reading. Tomorrow will be an eye-opener for everyone.

A few minutes later, I closed my communication watch.

Should I report to Mr John? The appearance of a level-5 wizard is not a good sign. Though I survived thanks to the foolishness of the old man. But I can't tell whether I will be luckier next time.

My expression darkened. If I tell him, there is a high chance for the situation to be blown out of proportion. Mr John probably will ask school management for some answers. Which I don't want to see.

Then I made up my mind to hide this issue. I will join the academy shortly anyway. So there is no need to make a fuss before going to the academy.

Finally, I decided to check my status before going to sleep.

"System, show my status panel," I said to the system.
