(From MC''s perspective)
Special ss,
Gasp
Seeing meing out of the pod chamber, people eximed in disbelief. But in response, I revealed a small smile on my face.
Because everyone is staring at the disy screen connected to my pod. Which shows Round 4 has been cleared.
Swish!
A burly silhouette appeared in front of me in the blink of an eye.
"Mentor Lion," I said.
Wizard Lion looked at Vincent with an appreciative gaze. He underestimated Vincent''s capability again. He thought Round 3 would be Vincent''s limit. But Vincent miraculously seeded in clearing round 4 as well.
His eyes flickered with aplicated glint.
"Vincent, you did well at your level. But if you want to keep performing well, you need to break through and reach further levels,"Lion said in a calm tone.
Saying that his gaze fell on Lara''s status screen. Where it shows Round 4 has been cleared. But there is no sign of her leaving the pod chamber.
My gaze followed his direction. When I see that Lara has cleared round 4. A look of understanding dawned upon me. She is now fighting against 5th-order monsters.
My mouth twitched. I wasn''t that surprised to see this result. Her breakthrough has raised her leapfrog fighting ability. On top of it, her snowstorm magic is even more powerful now.
A quick glint shed in my eyes. I looked around and saw the dazed expression of a wizard. Right now everyone is waiting for Lara''s result. As a result, my performance has be a little pale in front of her.
In my case, it''s good for me. They don''t suspect me hereafter. When ites to assessment, I can try this assessment after reaching level-3 wizard.
After a couple of seconds, the five level-4 wizards exited the pod chamber one by one. I retracted my nce after taking one nce at them.
A few minutester,
Lara White steps out of the pot chamber.
Cheer!
Seeing her everyone let out a joyful cheer.
"Finally, the Inner House wizard got the first position," Someone from the crowd said
"Ha...Ha...Ha..."
"What a Sub-Taboo wizard?"
"He lost when it came topeting against the inner house wizard."
Some of the wizards started to sneer. It''s a good opportunity to bring down Vincent''s momentum.
For the past several days, Vincent has been in a good spotlight. Which caused quite a displeasure in many halls.
Now using this opportunity, the unkind wizards smeared against Vincent.
Meanwhile,
Lara White''s eyes shone with bright light. But soon her eyes recovered back to normal as clear as water.
Vincent''s performance was within her expectations. But still clearing round 3 without defeat is a huge feat. Which shows that she underestimated the gravity magic.
She remembers the Teacher''s words. Vincent will be left behind if he fails to break through. Mediocre Talent? She sighed inwardly.
Then she walked back to her usual position.
Lion Heart stood in front of the wizards. With Lara White''s exit, the virtual battlefield assessmentes to an end.
The next moment, his gaze swept past everyone. He is satisfied with the overall performance of the wizards. Because everyone''s performance was well within their expectations.
There are some stand-out performances. Like Vincent''s performance. Looking at Lara, a hint of relief shes in Lion''s eyes. At least someone here is capable of fighting against core-level powerhouses.
Such a performance reminds us of the importance of special ss training.
"Lara, you did well. You have cleared round 5 smoothly. Which shows that you can now fight against core house wizards. Keep on practicing well," Lion praised Lara.
Gasp!
Right after that, some wizards gasped. Now they are starting to realize the meaning behind Lion''s words. Some of the 3rd-order monsters can easily kill the average level-3 wizard. Which is the same case with 4th and 5th-order monsters.
Lara''s record now shows that she can defeat the average level-5 wizard now. Which is a terrible thing. Some can''t wait to post their mentor lion''s statement on social media sites.
On the other hand, Lara White simply nodded her head in response to the praise.
Meanwhile,
I looked at the scene happening in front of me with a calm mind. I also heard the smearing from the crowd. Some hopeless b@stards were making use of this opportunity.
Shaking my head, I remained indifferent. There is no point in retaliation. If it was done by someone influential, I can mark him for now and make him disappearter.
Like that one close to the Dale family. A quick glint shes in my eyes. Strangely, this guy didn''t act against me so far. Is it a change of heart? My mouth curved into an arc.
Right after, mentor Lion announced the special ss ranks. This time Lara seeded in getting the 1st position. Where my name is pushed down towards the 2nd position.
With the announcement of thest rank. The special ss came to an end. Right after that, everyone started to leave.
Without wasting any more time, I exited the ss and walked back toward my room. There is still one hour left in my day-to-day practice.
Meanwhile,
Someone immediately posted about the virtual battlefield assessment on the academy''s social media site. The person who posted this highlighted Mentor Lion''sment on Lara White''s leapfrog fighting ability.
Many wizards wanted to know about the special ss. So if there is any news rted to it. It will quickly spread like wildfire. Like today''s post, within a few minutes.
The post took the academy by storm.The reason is, there are many rare and powerful magic users in the academy. And many can fight across ranks.
But the wizards in the special ss are neers. Technically they are school kids under many veteran wizards'' perspectives.
So Lara White''s news is a huge blow to them. She is studying in the academy for less than 3 months. Yet she can disy such a performance. But the Taboobeling on her quickly calmed down the storms.<novelnext></novelnext>
Whereas the news about Vincent Carey died down suddenly. Some unkind people talked about him. But Lara''s momentum is sorge that many paid no attention to Vincent.
Meanwhile,
Sub-Taboo Hall,
"Harumph, once a junior breakthrough to reach level 3. He will shock the academy again," Carolina said with a cold snort in her heart.
But still, she was awed by the fact that Vincent can clear 4th-order monster tide despite being a level-2 wizard.
In her opinion, this feat is no less shocking than Lara White.
She imagines her deadly vine is capable of restraining one or two monsters at the same time. But when ites to the entire monster tide. It''s impossible.
But when ites to fighting against one. She can fight across ranks and kill average level-5 wizards at her current level. She is retrospecting.
The same thing is happening in many halls. Many Veteran wizards are starting to realize that it will be a matter of time before they are left behind. So there is no point in staying idle.
One hourter,
The mission hall is overcrowded with people. The aftermath of the special ss events was quickly reflected in management. Many old veteran wizards were picking up the task again to go outside.
Staying in the academy only torments them further. Nobody wants to see neers overtaking the veteran wizards. But one thing is clear, the potential shown by seed wizards was clear.
Now the doubts about the special ss were quickly swept away in many people''s hearts. The special ss is the only ce where neers can gauge their potential and practice ording to it.
Meanwhile,
"That''s it," Wizards who were staring at Vincent''s information were quite surprised. But soon they realized it was normal. Lara White is from Taboo Hall and Vincent is from Sub-Taboo Hall.
So it is normal for Taboo magic to surpass Sub-Taboo magic. It quickly stopped their questioning heart.
On the other hand, Kate Cohens eases down her eyebrows. Her assumption about Vincent''s mediocre talent turned out to be true. She sees no abnormal behavior. The only thing keeping him up is Vincent''s Gravity Magic.
Meanwhile,
Dorm,
Unaware of the outside noise, I spent my time in meditation.
One hourter,
Feeling the beaming power in my body.
