(From MC''s perspective)


    Little Star Gate High School,


    Time passed in a blink of an eye,


    The division duels for ss A6, A5, A4, A3 and A2 were over. Tomorrow is the duel for my ss. A quick glint shed in my eyes when I saw Judy Owens.


    She has managed to defeat her former ssmates but unfortunately, she met a roadblocking against ss A2. If she had a little more power, she could win a few more rounds.


    [Tomorrow will be thest day for division duels.]


    [Don''t forget to support and cheer your favorite wizard student.]


    When the announcement was made the crowd broke out in loud cheers. After the announcement, people started to exit the arena.


    "Sigh," I got up from the seat and proceeded to walk out. But before that someone, unsightly walked towards me.


    "Get good sleep tonight. Because tomorrow will be your final day," Liam Baker said with a sarcastic smile.


    A cold glint shed in my eyes. Again, I felt something amiss. Earlier, I noticed some of my ssmates secretly peeping at me. It''s like staring at amb for ughter.


    And right now looking at this damn pig. I''m more sure that someone is behind the scenes. Who is he?


    Then shaking my head, I removed my thoughts. I''m a level-2 wizard. If I use my full strength no one can stop me from getting first ce.


    "Why are you staring at me?"


    "If you have something to say, then say it boldly "You coward," Liam Baker said with a smug smile on his face.


    His voice drew others'' attention. Especially the wizard students in my ss. Some of them were confused and few of them revealed a knowing smile on their face.


    "Alright, see you tomorrow," after saying that, I walked past him towards the exit.


    Liam Baker was stunned after beingpletely ignored. He felt a burning sensation on his face. "You damn b@st@rd. No one will save you tomorrow," he sneered inside.


    Before Frank Lambert''s assurance. He was unsure about facing Vincent Carey.


    Liam understands sub-taboo magic is no joke. Like everyone, he believes that Vincent Carey''s improvement is strongly associated with his sub-taboo magic.


    He also strongly believes that Vincent Carey is no match for Frank Lambert. So tomorrow, it will be a matter of time before he gets crippled.


    Thinking that his face turned back to normal.


    On the other hand, I slowly exited the arena and saw Lucas Brad waiting outside.


    "Hey, Lucas," I called out his name.


    Hearing that, he turned around and saw me. The next second, he rushed towards me and asked in a worried tone, "Brother Vincent, what''s your n tomorrow?"


    "This guy," I got ck lines on my forehead. From one nce I saw through his thoughts. He was wondering what I''m going to do against Liam Baker.


    "This fatty has be close with the poisonous trio," I held up my chin in realization. Anyway, this is also good. It''s difficult to meet each other after graduation.


    After my leave, he will have other friends around him. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle as this thought appeared in my heart.


    "Alright, don''t worry. I will do my best tomorrow," I said with a smile.


    Lucas Brad sighed in relief. Then we walked towards the school''s exit. Due to the crowd, we are moving at a snail''s pace.


    "Vincent?"


    I heard someone calling me behind my back. "Hmmm," I casually turned around and saw a few familiar faces.


    Palmer and Timothy hurried towards me. "Vincent, as our former ssmate. You have to do well tomorrow," Palmer said with some expectation on his face.


    "Likely, you will get to match up against our ss winner Kenny Sutton."


    Standing beside him, Timothy nodded his head in support.


    I sighed inwardly. If my guess is correct, I will face ss A2 top wizard Kenny Sutton. But this is my least of worries.


    "Okay guys, thank you for your support. I''m a little tired right now, so I''m going home." after saying that I left with fatty.


    Seeing the disappearing back Vincent. Palmer muttered, "Do you think he can win against Kenny?"


    Timothy''s eyes lit up and he replied, "I heard Vincent is among the Top 15 in his ss. I''m sure he can easily defeat Kenny."


    Hearing that Palmer sighed in relief. "He...He...He..., the smug smile on Kenny''s face will be wiped out tomorrow."


    On the other hand, I parted ways with fatty after walking out of school. Then I walked towards my home as usual.<novelnext></novelnext>


    When I walked past other pedestrians. Suddenly, a familiar feeling hit me. Like someone is secretly watching my movements. As I continued to walk forward, this feeling suddenly intensified.


    The next second, I changed my direction and picked a different route to walk. My senses are strengthened. I can easily detect anyone with ill intentions near me.


    ...


    A few hours ago,


    The hunchbacked old man found the address of Little Star Gate High School and Vincent''s home.


    He immediately left his ce toplete the mission. The allure of one rank 6 resource is so huge that it made him restless.


    The old man''s mind is upied with rank 6 resources. So much so that he didn''t make any backup n for his mission.


    After epting the task, he directly receives info about the target. Seeing that there is no high-level wizard in the family, he is 100% sure toplete the mission.


    He made up his mind to attack the family first. "He...He...He... Looks like I picked up an easy target," heughed to himself.


    But he found there was no one inside Carey''s residence a few hourster. The hunched-backed old man revealed a gloomy expression. Then he realized this wizard family has working professionals.


    It''s difficult for him to stay here and murder people. Then he assumed that this might be the reason for headquarters to dispatch strong wizards.


    As a rank 5 wizard, the hunchbacked old man is clear that this small mage family might have something which can cause damage to high-rank wizards.


    So he decided to kill the target first before massacring the family. Then immediately left for school.


    When he saw the sea of the crowd standing outside the school, the hunchbacked old man was stunned for a moment.


    "What is going on?" The hunchbacked old man couldn''t help but nce at the surroundings. He didn''t stupidly release his senses, because it may alert rank 4 wizards in the vicinity.


    After a couple of seconds, he finds out what this fuss is about.


    But soon a trace of apprehension appeared in his eyes. He can''t act hastily in this ce. This wizard school may be small but students studying here hail from different backgrounds.


    Since the year-endpetition is going on. Wizard students cane with their families. "No wonder, the headquarters is serious about the task," the hunchbacked old man grumbled.


    The timing of the task put him in a difficult spot. Who knows how many rank 4 and rank 5 wizards are secretly hiding here?


    Thinking about it, a cold sweat appeared on his face. The hunchbacked old man casually nced around and hid perfectly among the crowd.


    "Let''s just wait for that brat. It won''t be toote for me toplete the mission," the old man said in his heart.


    ...


    (From MC''s perspective)


    Old street with a less popted area. When I''m walking along this street. I found fewer pedestrians. At first, I thought it was normal. But as time went on, there was no one on this street except me.


    This immediately made me rmed. Who could be? Is it the dark league again?


    "Ke....Ke.....Ke...."


    "Brat, I have to say you are very smart," the hunched-backed old man said with a creepyugh.


    He appeared behind Vincent Carey out of thin air.


    At the same time, I felt goosebumps on my body. "F@ck," I cursed myself in my heart when I heard such creepyughter.


    When I turned around, I saw an ordinary-looking old man with old clothes. There is a little difference between him and the beggar on the street.


    The hunchbacked old man continued to say, "Honestly, I nned to kill your family first. But fortunately for you, there is no one at your home." After saying that he waited for another party to react.


    But he found not a tinge of reaction on the brat''s face. The brat stared back at himself with a stone expression.


    At the same time, I sneered inside, "As expected of rogue criminals. Did he think about ckmailing me?"


    "Who are you?" I asked in a trembling voice to fool him.


    Hearing that, the hunched-back old man''s eyes lit up. Ha..Ha...Ha... As I thought, he is just a normal brat. He is fu@king scared right now.


    "Brat, I''m from the dark league. I don''t know why the headquarters wants you dead?"


    "But I have to do my job. Do you have anyst wishes?"


    The hunchback old man said with a wide grin.


    A cold glint shed in my eyes when I heard his words.
