Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 598: Part 2: Crown Forest

From MCʼs perspective:

Especially after yesterdayʼs experience. Iʼm more wary of unknown magic. Who knows these people might sense my presence again.

Thatʼs why I decided to wait for some time before appearing.

Now, whatʼs more interesting is that they are carrying many bags with them. Whatʼs their purpose?

Should I follow them or change my route?

But I have a vague feeling in my heart. I would find answers by following them.

Then the next second, I started to follow the same route as well. But Iʼm moving slowly.

After crossing a few miles, I finally saw the crew. Those guys had set up a camp at the front. There are 10 tents in total.

One of them was larger compared to the others. It must belong to the leader of their group. Then I saw someone stepping out of the tent and entering the large tent.

Whatʼs with their uniform? They are not civilians. But I donʼt know which department they belong to. At this moment, I made a firm decision.

I tried to get closer to the camp. As long as I reach the spot, I can hide inside the Gregor Mansion. Then I selected the tent which is located further from the main tent.

Then I started walking closer to the tent. There are leaves, twigs, and broken wood on the path. Any misstep will alarm others. And I canʼt use the flight ability, then it would be sensed by their leader.

A few minutes later,

Somehow, I managed to reach the tent. With one step closer, I can easily enter the tent.

Swoosh~

But I appeared in the Gregor Mansion. Only after, I wiped out the cold sweat dripping from my forehead.

Outside,

A brown curly-haired female wizard stepped out of her tent. Looking around, she saw no way around her tent.

”May?”

”What are you looking at?” A beautiful voice sounded from her behind.

When she turned around she saw her friend Rina walking up to her.

”Itʼs nothing. I just felt someone outside of my tent,” May said with a smile.

Rina is a simple-looking girl with black long hair reaching her shoulders.

Heading what May said. She let out a bell of laughter.

”Ha..Ha...Ha..”

”Who could be here besides our academy students?” Rina added with a smile.

May feels embarrassed. Then she suddenly remembers something.

”Donʼt forget the incident happened some time ago,” May said.

”Oh?”

”Are you talking about those outsiders?”Rina asked.

May nodded her head.

”Youʼre something. Letʼs go inside your tent,” Saying that Rina entered Mayʼs tent.

May quickly followed her to enter inside.

In the Gregor Mansionʼs control room. After eavesdropping on their conversation. My heart set off storms.

”Academy Students?” I muttered in my heart. The infamous meteor academy. There arenʼt many forces in this country.

Most of the organizations are run by the government. In their academy, I heard the wizards who had passed out from this Academy had achieved great names in the wizarding world.

Itʼs almost similar to the 3 big academies in my country. But one of the girls said something about outsiders.

Before I could think further. The girls start talking. The tent was not surrounded by a barrier yet. I could easily listen to their further conversation.

In the tent,

May and Rina sat opposite each other.

”What donʼt you believe the news about outsiders infiltrating into this forest?” May asked.

Even she doesnʼt completely believe the news. When the rumors started to spread in the academy during that time.

Rina replied, ”Well, it doesnʼt hurt to reveal some news to you.”

”Our academy senior brothers had spotted a group of enemy countryʼs wizard students entering the forest.”

”Later they had chased down everyone and killed them successfully,” Rina said.

Gasp~

May sucked a cold breath of air. She thought it was just a rumor. Never expected it to be true.

”Then why didnʼt the Academy say anything about this?” May asked. At that time the rumors spread like wildfire. And never once did the wizard students care about this matter.

”May, the higher-ups had decided to cover up the news. They donʼt want the news to be leaked,” Rina said.

A look of understanding dawned on Mayʼs face. She knows that tense situations exist between them and the neighboring countries.

To change the topic she asked further,” So which country they are from?”

Rina saw through her thoughts but she didnʼt want to embarrass her.

”I think the outsiders are from the Sand Rock Country. I heard their Capital City has 3 big academies similar to our Academy. And the outsiders are found to be from the academy named Yellow River,” Rina added in a solemn tone.

”Yellow River?”

”What a weird name?” May said with a snort.

Hearing that Rina let go of her thoughts and smiled together.

In the Gregor Mansion,

I felt goosebumps all over my body. I didnʼt expect that mission to be over after eavesdropping their conversation.

A revealed a bitter smile on my face. These people have killed my academy students. But there was no hint of worry on their face.

And the killer turned out to be a Senior in their academy. These 2 girls seem to be level-5 wizards.

And the killer must be a level-6 wizard or above. If itʼs a meteor academy, then I donʼt know how the academy will react.

But strangely, I felt no emotion. Even if they slaughter one of the wizard halls. I wonʼt feel anything.

Apart from the Sub-Taboo Hall, I donʼt have any feelings towards the Academy. Even if the conflict broke out, it wouldnʼt affect me.

The girls have changed their conversation again. They are now talking about their academic affairs.

I shook my head in disappointment. Since I have collected the necessary information. I decided to write the mission report.

The mission of mine was an investigation mission. As long as I collect intel, that would be enough. I donʼt have to gather evidence for this mission.

This mission seems interesting to me. In the future, I should collect more intel-gathering missions. A faint smile appeared on my face.
