Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 784: Part 1: Mind games

From MCʼs perspective:

The presence of Research Hall Wizards here surprised me greatly. I guess the Research Hall and the Medicine Hall are the ones who are not afraid of offending anyone.

Everyone is looking at me with bright eyes. Looking at their enthusiasm. I guess they are here to support me. After nodding at them, I arrived in front of the entrance.

Then I showed my I.D. for verification. The Research Hall wizards are standing a few steps away from the Hall. But they didnʼt leave the corridor.

Everyone is waiting to walk together with Vincent Carey.

Creak!

After entering inside, I spotted Senior Gilbert and Carolina. As usual, both of them came earlier than me. This time I guess they are going to accompany me.

Gilbert Reese revealed a bright smile on his face. He was satisfied with Vincent Carey. At least, one of them was able to get into 25 places.

Which is not lower than Taboo Hall. They too have only one member among 25 places. Both the Wizard Halls have the problem of fewer wizard members in their Halls. Itʼs a difficult problem. Itʼs not something to be solved overnight.

Each year very few wizard seeds are spotted who have awakened the rare Taboo and Sub-Taboo magic. Among them, a few of them were snatched by organizations from other countries.

And the remaining ones get into one of the 3 big academies depending on the type of magic they have awakened.

Carolina Slate was in a better mood today. She is looking forward to watching top genius wizard students compete among themselves.

”How do you feel?” Gilbert Reese asked.

Hearing that I replied, ”Iʼm feeling good. Looking forward to duels.”

”How confident are you?”

”Can you get a place in the top 10?” Carolina asked out of curiosity. She has seen the list of 25 people. Among them the Elemental Hall and the Weapon Hall each got 5 places.

Followed by the Bloodline Hall they have got 4 places. The Taboo Hall and Sub-Taboo Hall each got one. The Power Hall got 3. The Unique Hall got one.

The Beast Hall and the Transformation have got 2 places each. And finally, the Mechanical Hall got one.

Gilbert Reese raised his eyebrows as well. He was quite confident in Vincentʼs strength. Vincentʼs records and added with his duels in the internal competition so far.

He can tell that Vincent is hiding his strength.

On the other hand, looking at their expectant eyes. I smiled and said, ”Getting into the top 10 is doable.”

Hearing that Gilbert Reese eases his eyebrows. Then he said, ”You guys can leave. Iʼll be watching the duel together with Elder Galvin. He must be waiting for me right now.”

A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.

If Iʼm right, the old man is going to watch as well. Then we spoke for a few minutes before leaving the Hall.

Carolina And I walked out. Where the Senior brother has left a few seconds before us.

Right after leaving, we came across the Research Hall wizards. They are following us from behind. Seeing that my assumption has turned right.

They are indeed here to support me.

Soon, we reached the duel arena. Many wizard students are going in to watch duels. When I entered the building, I saw new rooms opened for viewing.

But the rooms are for the staff from the administration office and other departments. Seeing that I paused my movement for a second before turning towards Carolina.

She is alone. If she wants to watch a duel sitting among the hostile groups. It wonʼt be nice. So I decided to ask the staff. Whether they can allow Carolina to sit with them to watch the duel.

Carolina was confused a little before she tagged along.

When I walked in. I spotted many female staff. From young to old women.

Gasp!

Upon seeing me a small exclamation rang in the room. Everyone recognized us immediately. One of the middle-aged women came forward to ask.

All of the staff are wizards as well. But their talent and potential are limited. So they have taken up jobs in the academy.

”Vincent Carey and Carolina Slate.”

”What are you two doing here?” The middle-aged woman asked.

Hearing that I started to speak. My voice reached 10 or so women sitting in the room. Everyone was surprised.

Even Carolina didnʼt expect that the request was related to her.

”Why?”

”I can watch sit along with other wizard students,” Carolina Slate said.

Hearing that I shook my head in denial.

”Some might deliberately try to find fault with you. To affect my mind during the challenges,” I replied to her.

A look of understanding dawned on Carolinaʼs face.

Seeing that I added, ”Otherwise, you can watch it from our Hall as well.”

The staff understood my concern.

”We have plenty of places here. We can surely accommodate one person here,” the middle-aged woman said.

The other staff in this room agreed as well. Unlike the wizard students of various wizard Halls. The staff didnʼt show any ill intentions towards us.

Because they donʼt belong to any wizard Halls.

Carolina also agreed as well. She likes the private atmosphere here. Even if she wants to leave mid-way, she can leave easily.

Then she began to talk to other staff. After making this small arrangement, I left the staff room and started walking towards the ground.

This time there are changes made in the ground. Apart from reinforced platforms. There are 25 seats built around the dual platform.

So that wizard students can walk in when the challenges are made.

Soon, I reached the entrance to the ground. As I walked out, I spotted other wizard students walking out from other entrances.

When I turned towards the stand. I saw that wizard students were filling up the seats. After glancing at them, I turned my attention towards the dual platform and newly built seats around it.

A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. The seats are bigger than I thought. It might look even bigger on the screens.
