Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 53: Part Two: A Harsh lesson

(From MC Perspective)

Palmer, after driving away everyone, plans to follow Vincent before the teacher comes back to the class. Just as he takes a step forward, he remembers that there is another guy beside him. ”Ahem, What are you going to do?” Palmer said to Timothy.

Timothy hesitated a little bit, He didnʼt want to get scolded by the teacher and the headmaster. Upon seeing Timothyʼs reaction Palmer thought it didnʼt cost him anything. If he let Timothy accompany him, it would be better. ”Anyway, if I get caught at least I have some company in this way.”

”Let us go together,” Palmer said. Then both of them hurriedly walk towards the common podium. They donʼt want to miss out a96.-ny fun. Especially, Palmer feels suspicious after witnessing Vincentʼs confident smile. Yesterday, when he had a conversation with Vincent. He found out that Vincent didnʼt even out Liam in his eyes.

Since yesterday he has been in a dilemma by donʼt know what is true and false.

Alternatively,

These buffoons were carrying smug smiles on their faces. I want to see what their reaction will be after knowing the difference of strength between us. With a smile in my heart, I walked along with them towards the common podium.

A five minutes later, we reached the podium. Which is under renovation but there is no sign of workers right now. ”Off day?” I muttered. No wonder, Liam picks up this spot.

I believe itʼs been a year since I saw the podium fully operational. While Iʼm feeling nostalgic I took this time to look around the surrounding area. But at this I was interrupted by these bottom rank morons, ”What are you looking at? Just get going.”

How did I know? That these people were bottom rankers. Well, while along the way they were constantly boasting about how miserable Iʼm going to end. Then they revealed something about Top 20 Mages in their class. So, I used the systemʼs probing function to look at their details. And with that I know these people were comparable to Palmer.

But the only difference between them and Palmer is luck. They had better mental methods than Palmer. So their practice time is a lot faster. As a result their strength is higher than Palmer. Sighing, I decided to put an end to this play. If it werenʼt for writing notes, I wouldnʼt have come here.

I rather choose to finish things with them outside the school premise rather than inside.

After making up my mind, I took the lead and hurried my pace towards the entrance gate. Seeing that the rest of the fellows followed me from behind.

Inside the common podium,

”What happened? Why it is taking so long for them?” Liam said to himself. Earlier this morning after revealing the news to the class. He thought it was over, thereafter Vincent Carey was done and dust. But who would that Mr. Wallace would drop bomb shell by saying ”Vincent combat power is strong. And its magical power is comparable to top 10 mages in our class.

When Mr. Wallace said that he couldnʼt believe his ears. He thought his friends must have been sneak attacked. He couldnʼt come up with a scenario where 1vs 3 fighting situation. And the three werenʼt able to fight against one guy, instead they got beaten and bedridden.

So, he didnʼt believe Mr. Wallaceʼs words at all. Then he decided to wait for his friend to wake up first and later he would make up a plan with them. But unfortunately, his friends were still bed ridden. It is well past 8 hours yet there is no sign of waking up.

His mood gets worse seeing them in a bed ridden state. At that time, He decided to do something against Vincent Carey. It all happened an hour ago. He went to check up on his friend during lunch time. He returned back with great disappointment and anger.

Coming back, he expected someone to take action against Vincent Carey. Especially the bottom and some middle rankers. He knows the attitude of the top 20: they wonʼt test the waters as first persons. And the Top10 wonʼt even bother. Top 5 Mages are in their own zone, they wonʼt act unless someone threatens their position. Even he himself wonʼt bother about it, if it werenʼt for his friendʼs state.

But he hadnʼt expected bottom rankers to be cowardly. After knowing Chrissy, Bruce and Mark were bed ridden they become afraid as their strength is nothing compared to his friends. How come they stand against Vincent who is responsible for such a deed? So none of the bottom rankers moved after realizing the truth.

He felt frustrated seeing that, if none of them moved itʼs impossible to know about Vincent Carey. Whether his strength is real or fake. Then how is he going to seek revenge for his friends? Frustration and anger took over his heart. Finally, He decided to go for himself. He told bottom rankers that his friends were sneak attacked, otherwise Vincent Carey would be bed ridden instead of their place.

But some bottom rankers had brains so they didnʼt believe his words. For them Liam threatened with using his power and status as a class leader. So, that they can only shut up in the end. Finally after grouping six bottom rankers, Liam plans to beat up Vincent inside the common podium during break hours.

Right now, just as he is recalling the previous things. He heard footsteps. As he looked ahead he saw a new person walking up to him along with the bottom rankers. The person with black hair and eyes, he knew it must be Vincent Carey.

Looking at Vincent, Liam sneered and said, ”Itʼs really surprising I thought you wonʼt come”

”So he is Liam Baker. What a strange guy?” I muttered while observing him. I hadnʼt expected him to send someone to escort me.

I answered, ”Well, I donʼt know why someone from Class A1 is looking for me?”

Liam raised his eyebrows hearing that, ”You really donʼt know? Palmer didnʼt fill you in with details.”

”Who is Palmer by the way? I said.

Anger rose up in Liamʼs heart by listening to Vincentʼs words. Instead of talking he wants to beat him up directly.

At this time, I called out the system in mind, ”System Probe, Liam Bakerʼs details.”

Seeing Liamʼs Status Panel, Iʼm clear about one thing. It would be foolish to head on with close combat. I maintained an expressionless face outside. But on the inside Iʼm clearly considering the possibility of retreating without having any clash against him right now.

His attributes are nearly double that of mine. Then my eyes set on his core status, which is already in double digits. Liam has the same talent as mine. For me it will take 3 years to level up formally due to earth grade mental method combined with talent. But for Liam it will take more than 3 years, probably 5.

Since he had started practicing using advanced grade methods it will slow down his progress.

One good thing though Mages have a huge life span, as long as they get breakthroughs in the end itʼs fine. They wonʼt be bound by such constraints. Even though they have only advanced grade mental methods to practice they still have some hope left for breakthrough.

It all happened in a couple of seconds, while he was observing me. What to do? My mind races up to find some solution. Liam awakened his magic a year ago, for me not even a month has passed. The level of difference can be seen clearly.

But Iʼm not even flustered, I have utmost confidence in my Gravity Power. Seeing his magic weapon. It is clear that he is a close combat mage. Instead of fighting him head on, Iʼm going to use a gravity field to deter him.

Yet seeing his boastful face I doubt he will sprung up in action first.

At this time, ”You guys go and completely thrash him up for me. I want to see his bleeding face” Liam said with an arrogant smile on his face.

After hearing his words, the bottom rankers began to surround Vincent Carey. Each of them have their own magic powers they want to try it on Vincent Carey.

When this was happening, Palmer and Timothy were sneakily watching this entire situation. They had already arrived at the entrance when Liam started to talk to Vincent Carey. As they were keenly eavesdropping, Palmerʼs heart jumped up in fright when Liam mentioned his name.
