From MC's perspective:
The Capital City, the night before the competition,
Apart from ordinary wizards from other parts of the country, unknown and suspicious people are lurking outside of the Capital.
They are none other than the lower members of said league. They are here to collect the information and share it back with the higher-ups.
Among the suspicious people, there is also another group. Unlike low-key Dark League members. They look like normal citizens and are having conversations with other people.
But each of them has come with one purpose. Which is to take the head of Vincent Carey. These people are evil wizards from the Shadow Skull.
When the Shadow Skull released the mission. Many of the members had been rejected. But still, there was no lack of abnormal evil wizards. Their mind works differently despite the danger ahead.
So the mission was taken by such people. Now they have gathered outside of the City Gate. It's the biggest challenge for citizens outside of the Capital to enter the city this time.
It's even more impossible for the Shadow Skull Killers to enter the city openly. So they are waiting for a good opportunity.
Dark League HQ:
Inside the black tower, the old man shrouded in shadows is looking at the messenger scroll.
[Waiting for the good news!]
The old man's eyes flash with a glint. The message was from the Supreme Wizard of the Meteor Country. It's not a nice feeling to hold the tail of the tiger.
He knows if this attempt fails, then this person will retaliate severely.
"Harumph"
"I don't think anyone can survive the attack of the Dark Lord. Especially that kid. He will die for sure," He said with a snort. He is very confident of the dark lord's magic power.
If any Magic Lord or Dark Lord releases their full magic power, it is enough to destroy a huge city like a Capital City.
So he doesn't think there will be any chances for that kid to escape. The things that happened at the Adamont Canyon might be abnormal. But it won't happen again.
The old man's eyes turned cold.
"That kid escaped because of a ruin and the gravity treasure. This time there will be no ruin inside the Capital for him to disappear," The old man said in his heart.
...
The following day,
Hearing that Senior Gilbert and Sister Carolina decided to come as well.
After leaving the Sub-Taboo Hall, we walked towards the entrance.
When we got there I saw other wizards on the top 10 list are there including the level-6 wizards. My eyes swept across other level-5 wizards.
Top-10 [Level-5 Wizards]
1. Mike Curtis -Taboo Hall.
2. Vincent Carey- Sub-Taboo Hall.
3. Pete - Elemental Hall.
4. Rayon - Mechanical Hall.
5. Jennie - Transformation Hall.
6. Kurtz - Power Hall
7. Aaron - Bloodline Hall.
8. Luxor - Weapon Hall.
9. Miranda -Unique Hall.
10. Lin - Elemental Hall
When I'm looking at others. They are also looking at me. My gaze collided with Mike Curtis. He revealed a cold smile on his face.
Ignoring him, I met other's gazes directly.
At the same time, Elder Galvin is talking to other council elders. Senior Gilbert found level-7 wizards from another hall.
They are also here to send off the hall members.
Carolina Slate found her friends as well.
Suddenly, I found a fierce gaze on me.
When I turned around, I saw someone from level 6 looking at me. She is none other than Stella Glover.
"Why is she looking at me?" I asked myself.
