Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 772 Part 1: Unreliable brother

From MC's perspective:

The following day,

The top 50 will be decided today. Instead of going to the Sub-Taboo Hall. I have decided to stay here and spend time in my room.

There are not many famous people in the match ups today. So instead of wasting time, I decided to continue the reading of basic studies on gravity mana particles.

Time passed,

After 10 am in the morning, the duel took place. There are not many crowds in the spectator area. As everyone speculated that today's duel is going to be boring.

Meanwhile,

I'm quietly reading the book in my room. I got disturbed by a sudden call. When I saw the caller's name.

A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. The person who is calling me is none other than John Meyers. Seeing those pictures of my parents flashes in my mind.

I had a bad premonition last day. After realizing this, I immediately attended the call. The next second, John Meyers' voice reached my ears.

He wanted me to visit him at the Capital City. I agree without saying anything. We had a similar meeting before.

At that time, the topic of discussion was related to my parents' safety. I wonder what happened this time.

After ending the call, I got up from my bed. Last time, I didn't inform others. I don't know whether it's good to inform Senior Gilbert or not.

The movement of the Sub-Taboo Hall wizard is being monitored by many forces. I don't want to involve them in my business.

After weighing pros and cons, I have still decided not to inform anyone about this issue. Then I went to take a bath.

20 minutes later,

I changed to academy clothes. After getting ready, I left the dorm room. Now, people are focusing on the final day of the top 100 duel.

But here I'm thinking about secretly leaving the Academy. After leaving the dorm, I'm striding towards the transit facility.

On the way, I came across the wizard students. But they are going about their own business. No one paid attention to me.

After arriving at the transit facility, as usual I booked a medium sized aircraft. The aircraft will drop me at the city and then wait for me to complete my business before taking me back to the academy.

Shortly after, the pilot came. He led me towards the medium sized aircraft. After entering inside, the pilot started the aircraft.

The next second, the aircraft rose from the ground. After rising above, the aircraft turned around and left the academy space.

I'm looking through the window to see if anyone is following me from behind. Last time, many people followed the aircraft to the capital city.

Now seeing that there was no aircraft behind. I sighed inwardly. Looks like the internal competition has taken away all the attention.

On the other hand, literally no one cared about Vincent Carey leaving the academy. Even the staff behind the registration didn't think too much about it.

Everyone is busy with their own business. On top of it, no Wizard Hall has demanded the intel this time. Otherwise, the staff can make money by selling the information.

2 hours later,

The aircraft lands at the outside of the city walls. This was an usual place where the aircraft and monster carriages from the academy parked here.

When the aircraft came to a halt. I stepped out. Then I spoke to the pilot for a few minutes before leaving the plane.

I told him not to reveal my identity to others. Otherwise, unnecessary trouble would follow. Then I started walking to the entrance.

There are people lining up in the queue. Most of them are caravan members. Compared to the last time, I see more city guards.

They are doing extensive inspection. It would probably take time. Seeing that I silently stood behind the queue.

Usually, there are spies from different factions roam around the entrance area to gather intel. But now the time is different. For the past couple of days, there have been no major events.

So Capital City is rather calm.

10 minutes later,

My turn came. I gave my student I.d to the city guard. The City Guard was calm at first. But when he verified the I.D.

He was stunned for a moment. He gave my I.D back with some hesitation. I can see his eyes are filled with surprise and worry.

My mouth twitches. I can guess what he is worried about. He fears that I might bring trouble to the city.

Fortunately, the guard didn't make any fuss. He acted like a normal person.

After nodding at him gracefully, I stepped inside the city. John Meyers is currently staying in a cafe. I remember the last time we met in a cafe as well.

Then I searched the place in my communication watch. The name of the cafe is a good will cafe. It's a walkable distance from here.

John Meyers has carefully picked the place close to the City Wall.

Then I started walking towards the place. There are active shops on both sides of the streets. People are coming and going out of the shops.

The place is not deserted. After walking through the crowd, I finally came to the cafeteria. Which is a newly opened one.

Seeing that I didn't immediately step in. Rather, I started observing the streets for a few minutes.

Seeing that there were no hostile groups here. I decided to enter.

After walking inside, I spoke to the staff. Then she led me towards the privacy room which was booked by someone already.

When I entered inside. I saw John Meyers sitting on the chair. A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. His face seems to be bruised. Like he got attacked recently.

Seeing that I sat opposite him. The staff left the place.

John Meyers sighed in relief after seeing Vincent. He thought Vincent won't come because of the internal competition.

"Senior, what happened?" I asked straightforwardly.

I knew this was not in a normal meeting. It's better to go straight into the discussion.
