Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 297: Part two: Going to the Capital

(From MCʼs Perspective)

Finally after some long talk, mum and dad agreed to relocate. Then I led Elder John back to my room.

Creak

After entering the room, I asked, ”Elder, What about my brother?” Because from the beginning to the end no one talked about him. I feel my elder brother is starting to get restless.

”Your brother?” John Meyers uttered. Then he shook his head and said, ”Your Elder brother has average talent.”

”Itʼs not wise to relocate with your parents. Because at that place, he will be reduced to average labor.”

”What?” My eyes lit up with surprise.

John Meyers nodded his head and added further, ”Your parents are going to work in some other county. Especially because that place is the countryʼs capital.”

”Do you think people with average talent can join the Academy out there?” He asked back.

Hearing that my expression turned solemn. Why do I have this feeling that itʼs the same case with Dragon star city?

Then I looked at Elder John and asked back, ”Elder, what about our countryʼs capital?”

John Meyersʼs eyes lit up with surprise. Then he calmly said, ”Looks like you have finally dug up something.”

His expression turned serious the next second. He said, ”Yes, even in our capital itʼs difficult to survive having average talent.”

”Itʼs not some kind of law. But people with advanced ranking enjoy lofty status.”

”If any of them with weak talent decide to come, they will only end up as someone elseʼs laboratory rat.”

John Meyers added another cruel fact.

Hearing that I sucked a cold breath of air. ”Sure, every place has its evil. Like here I got entangled by a poisonous dagger organization for some time,” I said in my heart.

Now that it has become history. But still, it reminds me of my early days.

John Meyers saw a change in the expression on Vincentʼs face. He knows it must be hard on him. But he feels itʼs better to know the cruel facts than live in an imaginary world.

”Alright, we will leave in one hour and Iʼll share other details on our way. If you want to do something in the meantime, you should do it fast,” John Meyers said.

Hearing that I retracted my thoughts. Then leaving Elder John in my room. I walked downstairs.

Mum, Dad, and Elder brother.

Three of them sit on the sofa with solemn expressions on their faces.

I sat in an empty seat and looked at Brian.

”Elder Brother, If you need anything, you can contact me. But donʼt leak the whereabouts of mine, father and mother.” I said in a stern tone.

Brian Careyʼs face turned dark. He had never expected his brother to talk to him like that.

”Vincent, you are too much,” Mother Lila reprimanded in anger.

Even father Brad Careyʼs expression is not good either.

On the other hand, I didnʼt mind their reactions, rather I stared at my brother. I know the exact character of my elder brother.

One year ago, he didnʼt show any sympathy to me because of my failed awakening. But things changed starting this year. He showed extreme jealousy and his actions were always against me.

But later after witnessing my strength. This guy made a 180-degree turn in his attitude. Which is not reliable in my opinion. If there is no warning, this guy would still suck up blood from mum and dad.

”Brian, Iʼm talking to you. What are you hesitating about?”

”If you need resources, you can tell me. But donʼt ever disturb mum and dad,” I said in a solemn tone.

Brian Careyʼs face changed drastically. He knew his younger brother was serious this time. And he saw right through his own heart. For a moment, he clenched his fist in humiliation.

His heart fumes in anger. But still, he controlled his expression. He knew Vincentʼs real strength. As far as he knows Vincent wonʼt give sh!t to him if he doesnʼt agree.

”Donʼt worry my younger brother. I wonʼt ask for resources from mum and dad,” Brian Carey said in a dejected tone.

On the other hand, Father Brad and Mother Lila were disheartened to see their eldest sonʼs reaction.

”Harumph,” Father Brad gave a cold snort. He had never expected such words from his son.

”Alright, brat. Do you think you have grown up?”

”Just take care of yourself. If Brian needs anything we can still do something about it and support him with our efforts.” Father Brad Carey said.

Mother Lila also echoed the same opinion.

”Son, not only your elder brother. If you need something also, you can tell us in the future,” She said in a pained voice.

”Old fools,”

Brian Carey laughed in his heart. He knew mum and dad wonʼt leave him just like that. He can still ask for resources from them.

But still, he dared not express his happiness before Vincent. A small hatred rose in his heart.

On the other hand, I sighed inwardly. Mum and dad were naive. Elder Brother Brian is a snake in human skin. He doesnʼt care about their well-being at all.

A year ago, I witnessed his rotten character. But mum and dad wonʼt believe me at all.

Shaking my head, I decided to drop this topic and started to talk about other things.

One hour later,

After bidding goodbye to my family, I left home with Elder John.

After moving far away from home, I saw Elder John bringing out something from his storage bracelet.

It looks like a boat. But the next second, I see the boat start to expand in size. In a few seconds, it grows big. Now it appears to be thrice the size of the air cab. But itʼs enough for two of us to board.

John Meyers saw an awestruck expression on Vincent. He let out a small chuckle before bringing Vincent to the small deck.

On the other hand, I uttered in disbelief, ”Artifact,”

For a moment my mind went blank. Next thing, I knew Iʼm already standing on the deck. Turning around, I see Elder John operating an artifact.

It took me a couple of seconds to digest the facts. This is not an ordinary air transport vehicle run on energy. But an advancing ranking artifact.

Apart from the Gregor mansion of mine, this is the first time I have seen another high-level artifact that can expand in size.

I feel amazed. I wonder how expensive this artifact is.

On the other hand, John Meyers started to run artifacts. The next second, the airboat rose high above the clouds and started to move towards the destination.

The whole flying boat is covered by the shield. So there is no problem with safety. At the same time, John Meyers saw the look of longing in Vincentʼs eyes.

Then he put the flying artifact in automatic flying mode. Now he can sit and relax. Then he thought about something. It is time to clear Vincentʼs doubts.

He walked up to him and asked, ”Alright everything is settled. Now you can ask me anything about the capital.”

Saying that he takes out two chairs and he sat in one of them and gestured to Vincent to sit.

Elder Johnʼs words brought me back to reality. Seeing the chairs appear out of nowhere, I sat opposite him.

Then I see him making tea calmly. Seeing that, I twitched. But this also calmed down my nerves. Now I can speak to him.

”Elder, what is the level of wizards participating in the special program?” I asked. This has been bothering me since the end of the final duel.

John Meyersʼs eyes lit up with surprise. Then a hint of approval flashed in his eyes. Itʼs good that Vincent is thinking about the special program instead of other superficial stuff.

”Recently, I heard the updates. A few students broke through and reached level 3,” after saying that he observed his reaction to Vincent.

But apart from slight surprise, there is no panic in Vincentʼs eyes. Then John Meyers recalled the final duel. That brat Brent Dale is said to be close to level 3.

Then looking at Vincent he added further, ”Ahem, Vincent. The level-3 wizards were the lowest in a special program. The highest is said to be in different stages of level 4.”

”What?” I blurted out in surprise. Then I realized a crucial thing. Most of them must have more advanced talent than mine. So itʼs normal for them to reach this level.

But still, it puts me in a tricky situation. I canʼt use my gravitational power casually. If people knew I could fight across ranks, I donʼt know what would happen. And I havenʼt tested my recent gravitational upgrade.

On the other hand, John Meyers was satisfied by Vincentʼs shocked expression. He feels this time itʼs a genuine reaction. Then he began to sip tea and waited for Vincentʼs further questions.

”Elder, what about the weapon palace and beast academy?” I asked. Then I shifted my attention to those academies.

John Meyers realized Vincent has done some work. So he started to explain.

10 minutes later,

My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. As I had expected, the weapon palace is divided into different halls based on different types of weapon users.
