Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 181: Part 1: Vincent vs Mathew

(From MCʼs Perspective)

Little Star Gate High School,

Combat class,

We were both the first to enter the combat class, followed by others. When I entered, I noticed students standing a few meters away from the main stage. Even before the combat teacher arrived, I realized they had left that area for the duel.

Itʼs natural for them to be excited after such long hours of dull classes. Fatty and I chose the left side of the stage to stand on. Top wizards are standing right beside us. So mixing with them is not beneficial for us.

I noticed someone staring at me shortly after we found a place to stand. Itʼs nothing new to me, but Liam and Easton had yet to arrive. So, whoʼs looking at me now?

I turned around to look for them. Unfortunately, the gaze vanished all of a sudden. I noticed Frank Lambert and his friends were standing in that direction. Obviously, I have nothing against them. So Iʼm not sure who is staring at me right now.

Then I had a moment of clarity. It appears that some people did not recover from that minor incident which happened between me and Easton. They are hoping for a good time. My lips formed arcs. I had already decided to take on the challenge first.

Liam Baker and Easton Brown entered as I was lost in thought, followed by Chrissy Heart and others. I could literally feel their rage radiating from their bodies as they walked past me.

Easton Brownʼs reddened eyes reveal how angry he was with me. At that time, the poor guy didnʼt see my counter-attack coming. This is what happens when your plans follow the garbage routine. I donʼt mind Eastonʼs expression, but my attention is drawn to the other snake.

When I approached Liam, he averted his gaze. ”He really thinks I donʼt know whoʼs behind the scenes?” I sneered. If everything goes according to plan, heʼll be the last person I have to deal with.

Finally, this venomous group was quite far away from us. Finally, when Brent Dale, Danny Quinn, and Victoria Shields entered, this venomous group stood quite a distance away from us.

Students form concentric circles around the center stage.

Finally, we positioned ourselves near the edge of the fourth quadrant of the circular combat stage. Similarly, the 6th to 10th rank wizards then stood near the edge of the second quadrant together with their friends. Then 1st to 5th rank wizards then stood near the edge of the first quadrant together with their friends.

Remaining ones, Positioned near the edge of the third quadrant of the circular combat stage.

This is correct, but I noticed that some of the middle-rank wizards chose to stand with their top-rank friends. I retracted my gaze after confirming it. There is no sign of combat teacher yet. Iʼm not sure whatʼs getting in his way. Everyone, however, decided to wait.

Everyone waited another five minutes before two people entered. Freeman, a combat teacher, entered with a stranger. Everyoneʼs gaze was drawn to the person right away. I had a sudden urge to probe him, but I restrained myself.

The combat teacher has invited this person. So Iʼm sure he has a distinct identity. Everyone, including myself, waited for Mr. Freeman to speak. My gaze returned to the stranger.

The stranger was taller than the combat instructor. He had dark hair and black eyes. He wore a tuxedo with a white coat on top. He does not resemble the teacher from head to toe.

Whatʼs the deal with this white coat? My parents will not put on the white coat after work. Is he also a healer like my parents? A number of questions arise. I stared at Freeman.

Surprisingly, he didnʼt even mention it; instead, he looked at us all and asked, ”So, whoʼs up for a challenge this time?”

His unexpected question caught me off guard. I was expecting him to introduce the stranger to us. But even before I could realize it, a silhouette stepped in.

A loud exclamation erupted, ”Gasp!”

Nobody expected this person to enter the arena. Mathew was a well-known bootlicker. So, everyone was taken aback when they saw Mathew Hunk on stage.

Normally, Matthew Hunk is always in Frankʼs shadow. So, what happened this time? Frank Lambert, did he give him any instructions? At this point, everyoneʼs gaze was fixed on Frank Lambert.

Brent Dale and Danny Quinn, among others, cast a brief glance at Frank before averting their gaze.

This is a disaster. I noticed Frank responding to everyone with a wry smile on his face. His gaze was drawn to me for a brief moment before he averted his gaze. Goosebumps covered my entire body. What is this guy planning? I couldnʼt help but twitch my brows.

Why does his gaze seemed to have a deeper meaning to me?

Mr. Freeman was taken aback to see Mathew Hunk. He had known since Mathew had joined Frankʼs camp. Fearing the 4th rank wizard behind him, no one dared to challenge him. But now Mathew appeared out of nowhere. He hopes none of them cause any problems here.

Mr. Freeman looked at the person beside him before returning his gaze to the stage.

”Interesting,” muttered Chester Nixon. Using his inspect magic, he had already gathered some information about Mathew Hunk. It was accomplished in such a way that none of them were aware of it. Even Freeman, who was standing next to him, was unaware of this.

Apart from his Lenin Institute colleagues, he felt he hadnʼt used his magic on anyone in a long time. This new experience heightened his enthusiasm. He had almost forgotten about his previous job.

Chester Nixon suddenly realized that his new job would be full of surprises and would not be as boring as he had anticipated. At the very least, it was better than his previous job.

With a smile on his face, he began to observe everyone. He had previously forbidden Freeman from disclosing his identity to anyone. Because he wishes to learn more about the school.

Chester Nixonʼs focus abruptly returned to the stage. Mathew is about to challenge someone.

”Who are you going to challenge, Matthew?” Mr. Freeman was curious. He was actually quite nervous on the inside. He does not want any drama to be performed by the students here. Otherwise, they will have a bleak future.

Freeman is unaware of the new headmasterʼs temper. Chairman Benjamin, on the other hand, has directed him to guide Mr. Chester Nixon properly. As a result, he, like his students, must exercise restraint.

On the other hand, when he finished speaking, the room fell silent for a brief moment. Many of them are anticipating the duel with bated breath. While wizards with less than 15th rank were terrified, such as Chrissy Heart, Bruce Spill, and Mark Spears,

Because Mathew was ranked 20th place. He was clearly going to take on the wizards above him. In addition, he is Frank Lambertʼs lackey. No one wants to offend him unless they have the backing of the top three wizards.

”Brother Liam, What to do?” Chrissy Heart called out to him, her voice trembling.

Bruce and Mark were also scared. They can easily dispatch this individual, but they donʼt want to offend the fourth-ranked wizard. Even Liam will be powerless to save them.

Liamʼs face had turned completely black. He didnʼt need to be reminded because he had already made the decision not to cross Frankʼs path. Frank always made fun of him, but he never paid him any more attention than that. So because of that Liam has performed admirably as a class monitor and didnʼt offend anyone so far. He wants to continue like that.

”Just admit defeat,” he said to them without turning around.

Easton Brown let out a hearty snort. Liamʼs cowardliness disgusted him. But he canʼt say it out loud. They are both in the process of cooperating right now. Easton does not want to rip his face off yet.

Chrissy Heart and the other two, on the other hand, decided to do the same. If they lose, their ranks will be switched. They can, however, avoid becoming the target of Frank and his friends.

Simultaneously, Mathew sighed and said, ”I challenge Vincent Carey.”

Another exclamation rang out in the room, ”GASP!”

”Are you crazy or what?”

”He is challenging the newcomer.”

”The combat instructor will not allow this.”

”OMG, had he somehow offended Frank?

”How saddening.”

Students began to murmur unexpectedly.

Fatty asked, ”Whatʼs going on?”

When I heard that, I took a deep breath.

Frankʼs gaze was, as I had suspected, malicious. Why is he picking on me?

This is completely unexpected. I thought I was done with Liam and his gang for the time being. But this new problem appeared out of nowhere.

For a brief moment, my mind went blank. I know other students are talking about it, but Iʼm not in a position to hear them. Because there is a chance that I will offend Frank Lambert if I do not handle the situation properly.

Which will be detrimental to my development? What should I do? When Iʼm pondering?

For a brief moment, the atmosphere was deafeningly quiet. Because everyone thought the combat teacherʼs expression was ugly. He was clearly dissatisfied with Mathewʼs words.
