(From MC''s perspective)


    Sub-Taboo Hall,


    Carolina te''s eyes lit up with surprise. She turned toward Vincent and said, "In a few days, other inner members of our hall will arrive here. It''s great news."


    Hearing her words my mouth twitched. She has been saying this for a while. But apart from Senior Gilbert, I haven''t seen other members yet.


    When my gaze fell on hermunication watch. I think the news might be true. I don''t know what their magic powers are. An expectation rose in my heart.


    Then we spent a few minutes in discussion before I left the hall. On the way, I didn''t stop anywhere and quickly reached my room.


    Creak


    After walking into my room, I quickly took a long shower before lying down in bed. I know there may be chaos happening outside right now.


    But now I need to take some rest.


    Time passed,


    I woke up a few hourster. Just right before dinner time. I sat and immediately checked my mental power status through the system.


    Seeing that my mental power is the same as yesterday, I sighed in relief. So whatever changes happened inside the battle tower are not permanent.


    After figuring it out, my thoughts became clear. Then I noticed many notifications on mymunication watch. I quickly essed it to read it. When I realized it was a notification from the academy.


    I knew it must be rewarded for clearing the battle tower challenge. After reading the message, I feel it''s worth it to achieve the 1st rank position.


    As a part of the rewards, I can now ess intermediate wizard books freely in the library.


    This reward came as a surprise. Now I can learn more about our world. If other wizards learn about my rewards, their eyes would bleed with envy.


    Others are spending battle tower points to ess library information. And here I got free ess to intermediate knowledge in the library. I feel the reward is given exclusively to me.


    And I don''t think it''s the same case with Lara White. I revealed a small smirk on my face. Then my gaze swept past other rewards. There is nothing new except battle tower points and mana stones.


    After taking a nce at them, I read further messages. Tomorrow, I have a special ss. I''m looking forward to Mentor Lion''s next n.


    Then I thought about the simtion battle. Maria currently holds 1st ce in special ss ranks. She defeated me in thest simtion battle. So if there is another simtion battle, I will get back my 1st ce for sure.


    Shaking my head, I read other messages before closing themunication watch.


    The following day,


    I woke up early and decided to meditate after getting freshened up. A few minutester, I sat cross-legged on the mat. Then I slowly started to run the gravity ark mental method in mind.


    Grey color mana particles entered my body as time went on. And I circted these mana particles ording to the Gravity Ark mental method.


    After cirction, the purified mana settled down in the mana core finally. I repeated the process.


    Time passed in a blink of an eye,


    I opened my eyes three hourster.


    Feeling the slight increase in strength, my mouth curved into an arc. I feel the overwhelming power brewing in my mana core.


    It was a sensation before it returned to normal. Then I decided to check the system.


    "System, show my status panel," I said to the system.

    [Title: Lord of the Gregor Mansion.]

    A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. My gaze immediately swept past the attributes. Seeing the mana core and physique get some progression, I smiled in relief.


    It''s because I''m yet to uncover the mystery of my physique. My only hope is that intermediate wizard books would provide me with some information.


    I made up my mind to visit the library after the special ss.


    Time passed,


    After having breakfast, I immediately head toward the special ss. Strangely, no one recognized me on the way.


    Using the opportunity, I quickly essed the phone booth to go to the special ss environment and walked out of the booth a few minutester.


    Special ss,


    I see a lot of familiar faces walking towards the huge gate. When I got closer, my appearance caused a smallmotion.


    "Look, it''s him. Vincent Carey," One of the students said to his friend.


    "Damn, looks like he got stronger after the breakthrough," Another seed wizard muttered to himself.


    "Do you think he can beat Lara White?"


    "No way, she is a level-4 wizard." Students started to gossip among themselves. A few secondster, a beautiful silhouette appeared.


    Seeing her the students quieted downpletely. Because she is none other than Lara White. Now Vincent is here. They can''t wait to see the drama going to unfold before their eyes.


    Meanwhile,


    Lara White noticed the presence of Vincent. She frowned. The news about Vincent''s record yesterday was already known by many.


    Like others, she was also in a state of disbelief. It took her some time to digest the news. Now, the fighting instinct rose in her heart.


    Instead of specting on Vincent''s strength. She felt it was better to challenge him right away.


    On the other hand, my lips bent slightly. Looking at her pondering, I don''t know why but I feel it has something to do with me.


    Swish!


    The next moment, a majestic pressure appeared out of nowhere. Under the pressure, everyone bent their knees. "This?" I raised my eyebrows in confusion.


    Because the person who caused this is none other than Wizard Lion. He is our mentor then why is he doing this out of nowhere? Is he testing our will?


    A look of understanding dawned upon me. Then I tried to withstand the pressure. But unfortunately, my attributes were simr to others. It will be a matter of time before I bend my knee.


    From the corner of my eyes, I noticed Lara White''s expression. She is doing better than mine. It must be due to her level-4 strength.


    The attributes of level-4 wizards were stronger than lower-level wizards. So it''s normal for her to withstand the pressure without breaking a sweat.


    Meanwhile,


    The Wizard Lion observed everyone''s facial expressions. He sees some weak-willed wizard already gave up fighting. Seeing that, a hint of disappointment shes in his eyes.


    He immediately took the pressure back from them. And focuses his gaze on others. From thest two simtion battles, he thought he understood everyone''s pros and cons.


    But seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn''t help but decide to reevaluate some of the things. He had previously collected intel from various Halls about Special ss students.


    Andbined with the results of the simtion battle. He had evaluated seed wizards. But right now he feels it''s not enough. Soon his assumption turns true.


    More than half of seed wizards gave up resistance. When the pressure was canceled, they were gasping for breath. The Wizard Lion''s face turned dark.


    The results were worse than he had expected. His gaze fell on Vincent Carey. "Hmmm" A hint of surprise shes in his eyes.


    He knows that kid got a breakthrough recently. But he is doing far better than other level-3 wizards. Now he got another crucial piece of information.


    Apart from powerful magic, Vincent got a good physique as well. Wizard Lion notes down some of the valuable information in his heart.


    Next, he turned to Lara White. She is not even breaking a sweat. Undoubtedly, the level-4 wizards can withstand his pressure easily. So he wasn''t surprised that much.


    After one minute, apart from six level-4 wizards including Lara White, and a few level-3 wizards. Every other seed wizard gave up resistance.


    Wizard Lion looked at the remaining seed wizards with an appreciative look. More than a Level-4 wizard, he looked at the level-3 wizard with a hint of approval.


    A few secondster, everyone lies down on the ground including Vincent Carey. Now only level-4 wizards were gritting their teeth. Seeing that, Wizard Lion slightly increased the pressure.


    Unlike other level-4 wizards, Lara White started to feel some difficulties. Like Vincent, she too had a recent breakthrough. So her attributes were nowhere near other level-4 wizards in the ss.


    But she didn''t want to give up just like that. She is a Taboo Wizard. She wants to hold on for a few more seconds.
