Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

From MC's Perspective:

Time passed,

The 1st duel came to an end very quickly. It was between the Weapon Palace Academy and the Royal Force Hall Wizard.

The Weapon Palace Wizard took 5 minutes to win the duel. After the announcer declared the winner. Then it was a 5 minute break.

Inside the A Block Gallery Room:

The atmosphere here is different. No one is worried about the 1st duel. Rather everyone is waiting for Vincent Carey to return.

The council elders had informed Galvin. So they are waiting for him to come.

Outside,

The Crippled old man who is staying near the City Wall gate received the news from the dean.

After reading it, the crippled old man disappeared from the spot. He then started rushing towards the duel arena.

The old man dean has mentioned Vincent's room no in the message. So the crippled old man doesn't have to disturb others.

If he appears in front of everyone, then the competition might come to a halt.

While moving towards the duel arena. The crippled old man didn't release his mana. But if anyone sees this they can only see something flashes past them.

The other hand, Galvin Martin left the academy and was on his way to the Capital City. The crippled old man will reach the place before Galvin Martin.

15th room,

The dark lord old man was still inside the room. He doesn't know someone is coming for him. He is just taking a nap.

A few minutes went by,

The crippled old man arrives at the arena. He saw there were guards patrolling the front entrance. But it's easy to decide.

The next second, his body moved fast. It's even impossible for the high ranking wizards to spot him. The patrolling guards are standing there like nothing happened.

After deceiving them, the crippled old man walked into the lobby. The administration staff behind the desk was shocked and surprised..

Because he received no information from the higher ups that someone is coming.

"Where are the Yellow River Academy Wizards staying?" The crippled old man asked.

The staff felt unknown pressure from the stranger. So much that he answered immediately. He told me where the A block rooms are.

Swoosh!

The Crippled old man vanishes from the spot. Seeing that staff was petrified.

"What was that?" He asked himself. He doesn't have the guts to stay there anymore. So he fled from the place.

The other hand, 5 minutes were over. The announcer came to the Platform to announce the next match up.

On the big screen the names are randomly selected. This time the duel was between the Royal Force Hall and the Weapon Palace Academy again.

While everyone is looking forward to the duel. The council elders in the A Block received instructions from the dean.

In the message, the dean has mentioned that he has sent people to find Vincent Carey. So there is no need for them to be involved.

Vincent got a free pass to the next duel. So they face no problem in this 2nd stage of the competition. Therefore, the dean asked them to pay attention to the duels of the rest of them.

Shortly after,

The crippled old man arrives in front of the 15th room.

He knows that the door was locked. So he didn't knock on the door. Instead, he directly spread his mental power to check.

His mental power appeared like a wave and went past the room. It started to cover the room one by one in the blink of an eye..

The dark lord old man who is sitting near the open window. He suddenly opened his eyes.

Swoosh!

The next second, he jumped out of the window and started fleeing towards the City Gate.

The old man's eyes flashes with a murderous glint. He spotted someone in that mental image. The culprit's speed was so fast that he was almost caught off guard.

Fortunately, he caught the small trace.

Swoosh!

The next second, he rushed out of the nearby open window as well. He then appeared in the mid air and started flying towards the city gate.

Meanwhile,

Inside the Gregor Mansion, I sat up straight.

"Is it over?" I said to myself.

I'm looking at the control mirror. There was no sign of the weak looking old man. There was only a flash in my eyes before he disappeared.

Which further strengthens my assumption that the old man is strong. When I think about leaving. I hesitated.

I still don't know whether the old man will come back or not. But If I don't go outside, then it's impossible to know what's happening outside.

Swoosh!

I made the decision before appearing outside. The next second, I started scanning the place by using the system.

Seeing that there was no threat. I heaved a sigh of relief. Then I changed into new clothes before walking out of the room.

Walking, I'm using the system to check the surroundings.

Soon, I reached the A Block Gallery room.

Seeing the opened door, a hint of relief flashes in my eyes. Then I took a deep breath before walking inside.

Tud!

Seeing that someone was coming , everyone's eyes turned towards the entrance.

Gasp!

The next second, a loud exclamation sounded. It was more shocking and surprising than the ongoing duel on the platform.

"Vincent Carey!"

"Where have you been all this time?"

The council elders shouted at me. Hearing that I furrowed my eyes and saw that everyone was looking at me with a surprised gaze.

Stella Glover showed a relieved smile on her face. She knew Vincent would be alright.

Mike Curtis's eyes flickered. He then observes the reaction of Pete who was even more shocked and dumbfounded by seeing the appearance of Vincent Carey.

"So the old man didn't do anything to him," Pete said in his heart. He was worried for nothing.

Aaron, Jennie, Miranda and others are also looking at Vincent. Vincent's disappearance has caused some panic.

"Tell me,"A female council elder asked.

Hearing that my thoughts returned to reality.

I looked at her before looking at other council elders.

Then I said,"I apologize for any inconveniences. I overslept today."

Gasp!

A small exclamation sounded inside the room.

The council elders looked at each other's faces. Though they are angry. But Vincent's answer was consistent with Stella Glover's words earlier.

She told earlier that the door was locked from inside. So Vincent must have overslept.

"Alright, don't be late next time," a council elder said.

Hearing that I nodded at him before returning to my seat. I saw my team members looking at me with complex and jealous eyes.

Seeing that I was surprised in my heart. But I acted normal and sat on my seat.

"You are quickly lucky today.'

"You have overslept today. At the same time, you got the free pass to the next stage," Mike Curtis whispered into my ears.

"Free pass,"A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.

I turned toward Mike Curtis and asked,"What happened?"

Hearing that Mike Curtis' mouth twitches. He doesn't know what to say for a moment.

After calming down his heart, he started to tell what happened during this absence.

The other hand, Pete was envious in his heart. Everyone is here worried and nervous about their duel.

But I don't know what kind of dog Vincent got. Not only that guy has overslept but also got the free pass to the next stage.

He wished that the old man who appeared last night should have done something to Vincent Carey.

A few minutes later,

"Stella came to check on me," I muttered to myself.

"You are lucky not only Lara White is there. Now you've got yourself another admirer," Mike Curtis commented.

"That too. Both of them are level-6 wizards," He added.

"What are you talking about?"

"They are my seniors," I replied to him.

Mike Curtis looked at Vincent once again before returning to normal.

"When did I become this talkative and close to my enemy?" He asked his heart.

Mike Curtis has realized that he had little contact with other wizards outside of the Taboo Hall. Because they have all got weaker magic in his eyes.

But only the appearance of Vincent Carey threatened him. So he didn't forget that he once made a plan to kill Vincent Carey.

Even today the higher ups are looking for a way to eliminate Vincent Carey. After realizing this, he decided not to talk anymore.

The other hand, I noticed Mike became silent all of a sudden. A hint of doubt appeared in my eyes.

At the same time, the Royal Force Hall Wizard won the duel. The announcer declared the winner.

Outside,

The dark lord old man went outside of the Capital. When he felt the threat from the mental power scanning. He knew instinctively that the intruder was a magic lord like him.

Similarly, the Crippled old man found something wrong with the traces. So both of them appeared outside of the Capital City and a little far away from the City Gate.
