Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Little Star Gate High School,

Chairman Benjamin walked into the room. Seeing that Chester Nixon is standing in front of him. He said, ”You came earlier than me.” After saying that he sat in his seat.

Headmaster Chester smiled politely in response. A few minutes later, another silhouette entered the room. He is none other than A1 Class Teacher Eric.

Chairman Benjamin recalled the task he gave him yesterday. ”Eric, what happened to the task? Does he agree?”

Yesterday, he instructed Eric to advise Vincent Carey. Not using magic powers in a duel is not a good thing. Even though Vincent wins in the end. It doesn’t sit well with the mage population.

It will only cause damage to their school’s reputation in the end.

Chester Nixon is already aware of this matter. He perked up his ears to listen.

Eric Wallace sighed inwardly and replied, ”Chairman, I had a good talk with Vincent this morning. He promised to give his best.”

”Good”

”Good”

Benjamin praised twice. With that answer, he sighed in relief. Now he can sit and watch the duel in relaxation.

Chester Nixon’s lips bent into an arc. He doesn’t know why the two of them are worrying unnecessarily. He very well understands that the top 3 were different compared to other geniuses.

Even for Vincent, it’s impossible to win even if he uses his sub-taboo magic against them.

Anyway, everything will be clear once the duel starts.

...

(From MC’s perspective)

Participants area,

The seat starts to fill in. I hear people discussing me. But I closed my eyes instead. In this way, I can avoid their gaze.

Few minutes before the duel,

The top 5 wizards came. Ron Brito was not in good spirits. He sat back in his seat with a gloomy look.

Frank Lambert’s expression is a bit ugly. His face looked distorted. When he arrived at the participants’ area, the first thing he did was look in Vincent Carey’s direction.

At the same time, when I was lost in thoughts. I felt a malicious gaze on me. It was so intense that I immediately opened my eyes to look. Seeing Frank Lambert, I gave a cold snort in my heart.

”Looks like he had arranged some backhand,” My lips curved into a gentle smile.

Frank Lambert’s mood worsens after seeing Vincent’s smile. He then walked back to his seat without glancing back.

”I don’t think he can fight against Victoria,” Frank said to himself.

Soon the other three top wizards arrived back to their seats. Everyone’s eyes focused on Victoria who is calm and composed.

Brent Dale closed his eyes, sitting in relaxation.

Danny Quinn is interested in seeing today’s duel. He wants to see how that newcomer handles the situation.

At the same time, after taking a glance at Frank. I closed my eyes. After a couple of seconds, I felt a cold gaze. This time the cold case was a bit different. There was no ill intention.

Soon the image of a person comes to mind.

But I didn’t open my eyes to look back.

After a few minutes, the announcement was made.

[Vincent Carey vs Victoria Shields]

”Finally, I’m going to fight her on the big stage,” I got up from my seat and walked towards the duel stage.

The crowd let out a roaring cheer.

Victoria Shields rose from her seat to go. The media people focused their attention on the duo.

Outside,

Watching the image on the big screen, Carlos muttered, ”It must be him.” Seeing the name and image on the big screen. He finally confirmed his guess.

Earlier a person wearing a black mask entered the school. At that time he had a hunch. But he failed to confirm properly. Now that he realizes it, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

”You won’t escape the second time,” Carlos said in his heart.

People beside him failed to notice his strange behavior. They were all glued to the big screen.

Inside,

Amidst the burning gazes of the crowd, I entered the duel stage. Victoria Shields entered a couple of seconds later.

She showed a gentle smile before standing opposite me.

”Now it’s the best time to access her before the barrier envelops the stage completely,” I grumbled.

”System, probe Victoria’s status,” I instructed the system.

Seeing multiple instructions appear, my expression changed drastically.

After understanding, I looked at her in solemn gaze, ”Something wrong with her”

”System, probe her status again,”

[Ding! The Host’s command is recognised]

Seeing her brand-new status. I broke out in a cold sweat, ”!”

What is going on? Several doubts appeared in my heart.

”System, what happened?” I called out the system in mind.

[System: The target has a magic artifact to cover her mana breath.]

[System: The host needs to be attentive in future to find the target’s true strength.]

When I heard the answer from the system. A look of realization dawned upon me. Looks like I underestimated her strength. She is scarier than I thought.

So she was playing against Frank Lambert in her last duel. Thinking about it, I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.

Fortunately, I’m not hopeless but rather I’m in a tricky situation. If I defeat her then my true strength will be exposed. She is at level-2 rank.

I don’t know why she is hiding the fact. But she will know that I’m also in level-2 rank. What should I do?

A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes.

On the other hand, Victoria saw through his mood changes. ”What happened to him? He was alright a few seconds ago,” She raised her eyebrows in confusion.

But again when she thinks about the importance of the duel. Then she understood Vincent’s nervousness. ”It was already great for him to reach this level. But unfortunately, he can’t defeat level-2 wizards,” She sighed to herself.

In this competition, her true goal has always been Danny Quinn and Brent Dale.

Outside,

”He seems spacing out,” Chrissy Heart expressed her concern. All of the Vincent supporters were on one side.

Apart from the poisonous trio, Lucas Brad, Palmer and Timothy were together.

Chrissy Heart’s voice was not loud but it was heard by others. .

”True, I have never seen Vincent this serious before,” Palmer made his comment looking at the big screen.

The image of Vincent Carey is clear to everyone. Compared to the calm and composed ice queen, Vincent Carey seems a bit out of space.

While the group were seriously discussing. On the other hand, Victoria’s supporters sneered, ”What spacing out?”

”Vincent is scared.”

”Ha...Ha...Ha....”

”Our queen will make another ice sculpture,” when someone said that the crowd burst into laughter.

The majority of the crowd doesn’t believe in Vincent’s winning chances. Victoria’s ice sculpture had made a massive impact on them.

Vincent Carey is especially a newcomer compared to his senior Frank Lambert.

So the dissatisfied voices are slightly large.

Lucas Brad’s face darkened. Because he wasn’t able to refute those words. Even for him, it’s hard to believe in Vincent’s chances.

But as a friend, you have to support Vincent. So do others. Seeing the gloomy atmosphere, Bruce commented, ”What are you guys worrying about?”

”Vincent almost confirmed his place in the top 3 next year.”

”So this competition is not important for Vincent.”

When he said those words, everyone’s eyes lit up with surprise.

”Oh, yeah.”

”You are right!”

”Why hadn’t I thought of it before?” Lucas Brad said to himself.

The earlier gloomy atmosphere was swept away immediately

...

This time Judy Owens and Eric Marsh joined their classmates to watch the duel.

”Wow, I never thought Vincent Carey would come out as a real dark house.” Knowingly or unknowingly someone uttered such a word.

Eric Marsh twitched, ””

He knew his fame was short-lived compared to Vincent Carey. But still, it hurts when someone says that.

Judy Owens chuckled and said, ”Alright, this duel is important for our school. So, let’s watch it carefully.”

Judy Owens’ words immediately attracted his attention. He asked, ”Oh, why do you say that?”

Judy Owens wasn’t offended by his interruption. But she explained it carefully, ”The top 3 were the real powerhouse of the school. In other words, they were the face of the school. ”

”If they show their talent in front of such a huge crowd. What do you think will happen?”

Judy Ownes asked, looking at Eric Marsh.

Eric Marsh blinked twice before answering, ”There might be a good reward in the end.”

She got black lines on her forehead. She felt it was better to stop explaining.
