Chapter 253: Part one: The hunchbacked old man

(From MCʼs perspective)

Little Star Gate High School,

Time passed in a blink of an eye,

The division duels for Class A6, A5, A4, A3 and A2 were over. Tomorrow is the duel for my class. A quick glint flashed in my eyes when I saw Judy Owens.

She has managed to defeat her former classmates but unfortunately, she met a roadblock coming against Class A2. If she had a little more power, she could win a few more rounds.

[Tomorrow will be the last day for division duels.]

[Donʼt forget to support and cheer your favorite wizard student.]

When the announcement was made the crowd broke out in loud cheers. After the announcement, people started to exit the arena.

”Sigh,” I got up from the seat and proceeded to walk out. But before that someone, unsightly walked towards me.

”Get good sleep tonight. Because tomorrow will be your final day,” Liam Baker said with a sarcastic smile.

A cold glint flashed in my eyes. Again, I felt something amiss. Earlier, I noticed some of my classmates secretly peeping at me. Itʼs like staring at a lamb for slaughter.

And right now looking at this damn pig. Iʼm more sure that someone is behind the scenes. Who is he?

Then shaking my head, I removed my thoughts. Iʼm a level-2 wizard. If I use my full strength no one can stop me from getting first place.

”Why are you staring at me?”

”If you have something to say, then say it boldly ”You coward,” Liam Baker said with a smug smile on his face.

His voice drew othersʼ attention. Especially the wizard students in my class. Some of them were confused and few of them revealed a knowing smile on their face.

”Alright, see you tomorrow,” after saying that, I walked past him towards the exit.

Liam Baker was stunned after being completely ignored. He felt a burning sensation on his face. ”You damn b@st@rd. No one will save you tomorrow,” he sneered inside.

Before Frank Lambertʼs assurance. He was unsure about facing Vincent Carey.

Liam understands sub-taboo magic is no joke. Like everyone, he believes that Vincent Careyʼs improvement is strongly associated with his sub-taboo magic.

He also strongly believes that Vincent Carey is no match for Frank Lambert. So tomorrow, it will be a matter of time before he gets crippled.

Thinking that his face turned back to normal.

On the other hand, I slowly exited the arena and saw Lucas Brad waiting outside.

”Hey, Lucas,” I called out his name.

Hearing that, he turned around and saw me. The next second, he rushed towards me and asked in a worried tone, ”Brother Vincent, whatʼs your plan tomorrow?”

”This guy,” I got black lines on my forehead. From one glance I saw through his thoughts. He was wondering what Iʼm going to do against Liam Baker.

”This fatty has become close with the poisonous trio,” I held up my chin in realization. Anyway, this is also good. Itʼs difficult to meet each other after graduation.

After my leave, he will have other friends around him. My eyes gleamed with a twinkle as this thought appeared in my heart.

”Alright, donʼt worry. I will do my best tomorrow,” I said with a smile.

Lucas Brad sighed in relief. Then we walked towards the schoolʼs exit. Due to the crowd, we are moving at a snailʼs pace.

”Vincent?”

I heard someone calling me behind my back. ”Hmmm,” I casually turned around and saw a few familiar faces.

Palmer and Timothy hurried towards me. ”Vincent, as our former classmate. You have to do well tomorrow,” Palmer said with some expectation on his face.

”Likely, you will get to match up against our class winner Kenny Sutton.”

Standing beside him, Timothy nodded his head in support.

I sighed inwardly. If my guess is correct, I will face class A2 top wizard Kenny Sutton. But this is my least of worries.

”Okay guys, thank you for your support. Iʼm a little tired right now, so Iʼm going home.” after saying that I left with fatty.

Seeing the disappearing back Vincent. Palmer muttered, ”Do you think he can win against Kenny?”

Timothyʼs eyes lit up and he replied, ”I heard Vincent is among the Top 15 in his class. Iʼm sure he can easily defeat Kenny.”

Hearing that Palmer sighed in relief. ”He...He...He..., the smug smile on Kennyʼs face will be wiped out tomorrow.”

On the other hand, I parted ways with fatty after walking out of school. Then I walked towards my home as usual.

When I walked past other pedestrians. Suddenly, a familiar feeling hit me. Like someone is secretly watching my movements. As I continued to walk forward, this feeling suddenly intensified.

The next second, I changed my direction and picked a different route to walk. My senses are strengthened. I can easily detect anyone with ill intentions near me.

...

A few hours ago,

The hunchbacked old man found the address of Little Star Gate High School and Vincentʼs home.

He immediately left his place to complete the mission. The allure of one rank 6 resource is so huge that it made him restless.

The old manʼs mind is occupied with rank 6 resources. So much so that he didnʼt make any backup plan for his mission.

After accepting the task, he directly receives info about the target. Seeing that there is no high-level wizard in the family, he is 100% sure to complete the mission.

He made up his mind to attack the family first. ”He...He...He... Looks like I picked up an easy target,” he laughed to himself.

But he found there was no one inside Careyʼs residence a few hours later. The hunched-backed old man revealed a gloomy expression. Then he realized this wizard family has working professionals.

Itʼs difficult for him to stay here and murder people. Then he assumed that this might be the reason for headquarters to dispatch strong wizards.

As a rank 5 wizard, the hunchbacked old man is clear that this small mage family might have something which can cause damage to high-rank wizards.

So he decided to kill the target first before massacring the family. Then immediately left for school.

When he saw the sea of the crowd standing outside the school, the hunchbacked old man was stunned for a moment.

”What is going on?” The hunchbacked old man couldnʼt help but glance at the surroundings. He didnʼt stupidly release his senses, because it may alert rank 4 wizards in the vicinity.

After a couple of seconds, he finds out what this fuss is about.

But soon a trace of apprehension appeared in his eyes. He canʼt act hastily in this place. This wizard school may be small but students studying here hail from different backgrounds.

Since the year-end competition is going on. Wizard students can come with their families. ”No wonder, the headquarters is serious about the task,” the hunchbacked old man grumbled.

The timing of the task put him in a difficult spot. Who knows how many rank 4 and rank 5 wizards are secretly hiding here?

Thinking about it, a cold sweat appeared on his face. The hunchbacked old man casually glanced around and hid perfectly among the crowd.

”Letʼs just wait for that brat. It wonʼt be too late for me to complete the mission,” the old man said in his heart.

...

(From MCʼs perspective)

Old street with a less populated area. When Iʼm walking along this street. I found fewer pedestrians. At first, I thought it was normal. But as time went on, there was no one on this street except me.

This immediately made me alarmed. Who could be? Is it the dark league again?

”Ke....Ke.....Ke....”

”Brat, I have to say you are very smart,” the hunched-backed old man said with a creepy laugh.

He appeared behind Vincent Carey out of thin air.

At the same time, I felt goosebumps on my body. ”F@ck,” I cursed myself in my heart when I heard such creepy laughter.

When I turned around, I saw an ordinary-looking old man with old clothes. There is a little difference between him and the beggar on the street.

The hunchbacked old man continued to say, ”Honestly, I planned to kill your family first. But fortunately for you, there is no one at your home.” After saying that he waited for another party to react.

But he found not a tinge of reaction on the bratʼs face. The brat stared back at himself with a stone expression.

At the same time, I sneered inside, ”As expected of rogue criminals. Did he think about blackmailing me?”

”Who are you?” I asked in a trembling voice to fool him.

Hearing that, the hunched-back old manʼs eyes lit up. Ha..Ha...Ha... As I thought, he is just a normal brat. He is fu@king scared right now.

”Brat, Iʼm from the dark league. I donʼt know why the headquarters wants you dead?”

”But I have to do my job. Do you have any last wishes?”

The hunchback old man said with a wide grin.

A cold glint flashed in my eyes when I heard his words.
