Mr. Wace left the Head Master''s Cabin after getting his answer. Since he confirmed the Head Master''s attitude, his students won''t raise any further objections. But he doesn''t know that a storm is yet toe. The teacher of other A rank sses has some tactic understanding on this matter.


    They have been trying for years to bring some changes in curriculum. Especially in real lifebat sses. Monster Hunting Trip is one of the most valuable lessons for students.


    Since most of the time, school rewards such a Trip to ss A1. But in the teacher''s opinion the Mages from ss A1 don''tck resources. Even their future is secured. Only people without background and enough resources should utilize most opportunities.


    But this type of good initiative wasn''t supported by the School Management. For them ss A1 is cash cow. The Mages passed out from ss A1 had significant influential in the society. That''s why the School Management gives much importance to thess A1.


    So far no one knows this little incident happened in ss A1, Mr. Wace''s subsequent conversation with the Headmaster.


    ...


    (From MC Perspective)


    At lunch break,


    This time I didn''t n on having lunch at ss A''s turf. Thest sh with Liam taught me something. My attributes were nowhere near him. My current strength isparable to Top 15th of their ss.


    From Top 10 to Top 1, there is a horrible difference in theirbat power. That Liam guy ranks only in the Top 10. I don''t know about others. Especially thinking aboutbat power Top 5 really gives me chills.


    But soon I begin to think practically, these people were two years older than me. It''s natural for them tohave such strength. Until, My attributes reach near 70 points in all aspects, it''s wise to avoid confronting them.


    After taking a peek at the A1 area, I walk towards the Central Canteel with Fatty. "Vincent, I think Ms. Rivers haven''te to school today." Fatty Lucas hushed while tapping my shoulder.


    "Are you sure?" I replied.


    It''s true that we didn''t heard of Ms. River since this morning. But I feel since such a rumor is spreading around. It''s impossible for ss Teacher to be absent.


    Maybe I''m thinking too much. She really didn''te today. Well, it doesn''t matter. We can ask her tomorrow. There is no need to jump on the conclusions too early. It will be nice to have such a Monster Hunting Trip, yet upon knowing School''s history my hope is a little dim.


    Hearing Vincent''s question, Fatty didn''t think about it too much. He just simply nodded. Right now his entire focus on food. Soon both of them arrived at the counter.


    Seeing there is plenty of food, I carefully selected and picked some mana herbs and ced it on the te. I didn''t have to look at Fatty, I knew his options.


    Soon, Fatty Lucas hurriedly walked towards him. "Hey, BrotherVincent. Look here, Such juicy and tender meat."


    I twitched. Then we both sat at a nearby table to enjoy our lunch. Unlikest time, The atmosphere is peaceful around here. Everyone is minding their own business. But most of their gossiping topic is about the rumored Monster Hunting Trip.


    Fatty Chuckled and said, "Brother Vincent, Everyone is frenzied about the Monster Hunting Trip. I would be too disappointed if it''s not true."


    I sighed and continued to munch down the food. My mind is thinking about Captain Tyler. Though I didn''t much like the rest of the people. But Captain Tyler is a nice guy though he had a greedy nature in him.


    I tapped mymunication watch. The notification section is empty. There is no reply from Captain Tyler so far. Should I contact other officials at the Headquarter? No, Since I''m a rookie they don''t want to tell me some secrets. Adding together the tag of Part timer, there is no need to tell details about the mission to me.


    Sometimester, both of them finished food on the te and walked back to their ss.


    On the way, the duo encountered theiracquaintances.


    As both of us were chatting and walking towards the lift, I noticed someone blocking the road.<novelnext></novelnext>


    But after noticing the appearance of these people, I cracked a smile. Fatty Lucas slightly rmed, noticing their badge.


    They were none other than fourckeys of Liam. Since one of their friends is missing, their first suspicion was Liam and then Vicent Carey. Other Than these two no one could possibly harm their friend Patrick from School.


    "Brother Vincent?" Fatty takes a nce at these people and turns back to Vincent. He realizes that these people came here for Vincent.


    As for reason he didn''t even doubt, since they are from ss A1 it must be for revenge.


    Seeing the anxious looks of Fatty, I patted his shoulder and said, "Let me tell you something, the strength of these people was worse than Palmer."


    Fatty Lucas''s eyes lit up with surprise and his worries immediately fades away. Then he immediately sneered, "I thought it must be some big boss. But What these Cannon fodders were doing here."


    Four Mages, though they are bottom rankers in their ss, at least they are having some sense of pride regarding their identity as ss A1 Mages. But right now hearing ridicule from an unknown person they want to tear down his face directly.


    Then again seeing Vincent standing beside him, they forgot this idea and turned to the main topic now, "Vincent, Where is Patrick?" One of the four Mage took a lead to raise this question.


    I had already guessed what these people were upto. But now hearing from their mouth. I feel a little disappointed. I came this morning hoping for a big movement. Yet only that poor guy''s friends were searching for him. Looks like that Liam guy didn''t even care about them.


    Shaking my head, I asked back,"Who is Patrick?" Then I added, "It''s not been a month over since my transfer to ss A2. I don''t even know my ssmates'' names. And here you are inquiring about someone."


    Hearing my mocking tone, four of them got speechless. But they couldn''t dare to reveal the matter about their confrontation. Mr. Wace had strictly warned them not to leak about this matter. Otherwise it will ruin the reputation of their ss.


    Even Liam is obediently following his words, they couldn''t help but think about current rumors regarding the Monster Hunting Trip. If people came to know about such a confrontation, it would surely ruin their opportunity.


    At this time, they couldn''t help but look at Vincent again, "Too much cunning!" One of them gnashed his teeth in anger. "Forget it, We can''t win against him." The person beside him advised.


    Four of them looked at each other. Since it''s impossible to know from Vincent. It''s better to leave the ce. With frustration, they turned back and decided to walk away.


    Seeing their decision, I smiled. "Power is low. But not bad in thinking."


    I tapped Fatty''s shoulder and said, "Lucas, I haven''t been able to see your power so far. Why don''t you try?" I smiled after uttering the words.


    Fatty Lucas is stunned to hear that but soon he isembarrassed. It''s not the no one beside them. They were students watching the situation from distance. But upon seeing a batch of ss A1 and A2 none of them dare to get closer.


    Obviously, Fatty Lucas is aware of their nces. That''s why he is a little bit hesitant. He hasn''t tried his power in public. Seeing his hesitancy, I chuckled,mented, "It''s okay, they are just weak. Next time, I will choose better target for you "


    Fatty Lucas'' heart skips a beat. But upon seeing the smiling face of Vincent he calmed down. Then both of them used the lift to reach their ss, on the way they didn''t encounter any ss A1 students.


    Right after entering the ss they were caught in surprise. It''s Ms. Rivers, she came to the ss a little bit earlier.


    Perceiving two gazes, Ms. Rivers raised her head to see. Upon noticing it''s two geniuses she gestures to them to go back to their seat.


    We obediently went back to our seats after seeing her. "Finally, we can ask her." I mumbled. Not only me, the rest of the people in the ss also got the same idea.


    Ms.Rivers is smart, before opening the lecture. She notices an odd atmosphere in the ss. The conversations by the students haven''t escaped her ears. Her lips bent slightly and her mouth raised an arc, "Looks like everyone is looking forward to such a trip." She thought to herself.


    Like every year, this year is also not different. With the joint efforts of other teachers she submitted proposals to the school management, including the Head Master. But unfortunately no one reacted so far. She ponders, It''s better to go with other teachers to meet the HeadMaster Collins. She knows his character, but they have strong reasons to convince him.
