Chapter 237 Part Two: A Week Before The Year-End Competition
Not a single peasant can be seen on the road. Even the lowest-earning labour exhibits a scholarly aura around him. People who know this city, they called it a dream city.
The "dream" name is also derived from the common people living in surrounding areas. For them, it was their dream to send their talented seeds to this city. Such a city has many small, mid-sized and very few large-sized wizard families.
Including the one called, the Lambert family. Which is one of the large-sized families residing in this dream city.
At this moment, inside the huge luxurious villa. The young master of the family is going to come out from his retreat. Right now, in front of the practice room. The butler of the family is patiently waiting outside to receive the young master Frank.
The butler was white-haired and dressed in a black tuxedo. From time to time, he looked at the close door room. Instead of worry, a trace of appreciation flashed in his eyes.
"Before retreating, the young master was hopeful of reaching the peak stage of level 1," the old butler grumbled to himself.
But he was not worried. Because he knows the family lord has given many resources to the young master. Including the resources for level 2.
It's just he hopes master comes out before the start of the year-end competition. There is only one week time before the start of the competition. He doesn't want the young master to miss it.
When he was thinking, he felt some vibration from the door. The old butler turned around and immediately glanced at the door.
Creak
A silhouette walked out after opening the door. He is none other than Frank Lambert.
After seeing his appearance, the old butler immediately walked up to him to greet him.
"Young master"
"Young master," the old butler repeated the title twice.
A quick glint flashed in Frank's eyes. He knows the old butler won't come unless something important.
Looking at the old butler, he asked, "What happened?"
Hearing that old butler immediately told him about the year-end competition.
"It's good that I reached the peak level in time," Frank muttered to himself.
But he immediately thought of his fellow competitors. "Victoria, Danny and Brent"
"I don't know how far these perverts have grown?" His gleamed with a twinkle.
No matter what level of resources he has access to in his family. He was still far behind compared to the three people before him.
Three of them also hail from a good background. He was not sure exact power of them. But after seeing their's development so far. He knows three of them were not in shortage of resources.
In some instances, he had felt that three of them were better than him. Then dispelling the thoughts, he asked the butler, "What about Father and mother?"
"Young master, they went for a business trip. But the Lord has promised to return before the start of the competition," the old butler said in an apologetic tone.
Frank's expression was gloomy for a while. Then he told the old butler to leave. He needs to take some time to adjust his strength. So he didn't mind other issues right now.
The old butler exited without saying anything.
Similarly,
In another different city which is built near the river bank. A white silhouette is spending time at the edge of the river. The place where is she standing is very remote. Not many people visit this place as it is located quite far from the city gate.
Most people tend to spend their leisure time talking with their friends at the edge of the river. For that specific wooden benches and chairs were built.
But all of the infrastructures were built at the edge of the river, quite close to the city.
Now the white silhouette is located quite far opposite the popular place. But this remote location was chosen by her.
Right now, the white silhouette is looking at the calm running water. The next second her temperament changed drastically. Her calm face turned to a frosty one as she pulls out her magic weapon.
Ssshh
Her ice sword started to freeze the running water even before she used her ice magic. She tightly gripped her sword and made a fast slash at the running river.
"Ice slash," a cold word came from her mouth.
This is not a word but her ice attack spell.
When she made the vertical slash, the ice magic instantly released from her sword.
BOOM
The powerful ice attacks collided with the running water, a terrible collision sound resonated throughout the area. Instead of flying debris, the area within the spell range was frozen including the running water.
The white silhouette is Victoria Shields. She wants to calculate how long the frozen water can withstand the power of the current.
The frozen water was almost like a big ice block, blocking the running water flow. The streaming waters then continue to collide with a big ice block.
Victoria's eyes gleamed with a twinkle as she saw no cracks appear in the ice blocks. Seeing that she made an appropriate calculation in his heart.
Then she used her magic to melt the ice block before deciding to return to the city. After dispelling her ice sword, she returned to her usual self. Her expression was no more frosty but there is gentle calmness in her eyes.
While walking along the road, she thought about her future. Unlike Frank, She has broken through level 2 long ago. Now she is carefully planning her plans.
"After this competition, I will graduate along with Brent and Danny."
"And not to forget that idiot Frank," She said to herself.
Surprisingly, the image of Vincent Carey comes to her mind. Realising that her expression froze for a moment. Then next a bright smile spread on her face.
"I almost forget about him. After our graduation, he will most likely become the top-ranked wizard in our class," She thought to herself.
She knows Frank has one more year to graduate. So this competition may be a learning experience for him.
Not only four of them, but many old wizard students in the school will also graduate after the end of the competition. For some, the schooling is officially over.
They can join their big academy officially. But for other mediocre wizards, their time limit was over. Without progression, they can't stay in school anymore.
Lots of thoughts appeared in her mind. But she immediately recovered from it and thought about the competition. So far she wasn't able to win a single duel against Brent and Danny.
This matter frustrates her a lot. So before graduating officially, she wants to do it one more time. She plans to challenge one of them in the competition.
Those two wizards were like mountains pressing on her. Like others, she also has an extraordinary identity. So do the Brent Dale and Danny Quinn. That's why she is not rude in front of them.
But that doesn't mean that she was afraid of offending them. Before joining her organisation she wants to know where is her limit. So who could be the best opponent for her other than the top 2 wizards in her class?
"This time I'll make the opponent reveal his spells," a flash of determination appeared in her eyes.
The next second, she immediately used her speed to move forward at breakneck speed. A couple of seconds later, she appears in front of the huge city.
...
(From MC's perspective)
Back in the house,
Beep!
Looking at the notification, I immediately accessed the messages to read them. My eyes gleamed with twinkle when I saw it was a message from Mr John Meyers.
After our last encounter, I somewhat understood his personality. He won't talk contact me unless there is something important.
After reading the text message, I was even more sure.
[ I have collected one weird meter rock. If you need it urgently, you can reply to this message.]
[Otherwise, I will give it to you later.]
Reading such a straightforward message, I cracked up a smile. Wow! One more weird meteor rock, then I will be invisible in the same rank.
Doesn't matter whether it is a taboo class or others, I can crush anyone on the same level. Realizing that, I let out a small laugh, "ha...ha...ha.."
I know with my gravity magic can crush high-rank wizards. But my vision is limited. There are many wonders in this world. And many more taboo class wizards.
Who knows? There might be wizards who can withstand my gravity pressure. So I'm not going to be overconfident.
But one thing is certain, If I consume one more weird meteor rock, It doesn't matter how many talented seeds going to join in a special class. I can crush them all.
Before that, I need to crush annoying people in the upcoming competition. "Brent Dale and Danny Quinn," a cold glint flashed in my eyes.
