From MC's Perspective:
The Zero Puppet started to speak. It had already sorted through the information. After removing unnecessary details, it began to brief the important ones.
On the other hand, I am listening to a puppet. Once again, I was astounded by Puppet's abilities. The Star Puppet Inheritance was something different. It was a significant benefit I received upon leaving the academy.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Then I buried the useless thoughts before returning to listen. My eyes grew cold.
After a few minutes,
The Zero Puppet completed its briefing. I then removed the puppet's core before inserting it into the system space. Then I arrived at the Gregor Mansion.
My facial expression was dark. I silently walked to my bed to rest. I did not doubt the puppet's words. The information was gathered through eavesdropping.
These are the Dark League Wizards. I had dealt with them previously. So I am sure they had a casual conversation with each other.
However, the information proved useful. To think that three major forces have banded together to form an impenetrable net. My eyes filled with an unknown anger.
It went beyond basic hostility. It was absolute oppression. The Royal Force Hall Academy is abusing its power. To make use of the Capital City for their strategy. It is simply an abuse of power.
I do not believe I have done anything serious. I am well aware that my gravity magic is rare. However, it is in no way comparable to those who possessed superior magic. Especially the bloodline Wizards, who are stronger than me.
So I could not understand why the other two academies were so aggressively targeting me. I understand internal politics at the Yellow River Academy. I accepted the Late Gravity Ancestor's inheritance.
Some wizard halls do not want the Sub-Taboo Hall to gain popularity. Because it would impact their future resource distribution.
But what is with these two academies? Suddenly, I remembered the words of the Tribe Elders I met at the border. He told me about the Wizard Heart competition.
My face lit up with realization.
Apart from that, I do not have anything to point out. After gaining clarity in my thoughts, I took a deep breath and released.
It is impossible for these academies to ignore the presence of the Magic Lord behind me. They must have a plan to counter him as well.
"I suppose it is time to contact the academy," I said in my heart.
Meanwhile,
The crippled old man was resting in a small stall near the bookstore. He opened his eyes in response to a sudden phone call.
Seeing as it was the Dean of the Academy. His eyes twinkled.
"Why is this brat contacting me?" He muttered before taking the call.
"Elder, this is good news."
"Vincent Carey has arrived at the capital. He is staying in the storeroom behind the Blue Merchant Building," the old man dean exclaimed, excitedly.
"He is back," the crippled old man's eyes light up with relief.
"He is in the Blue Merchant area, just as I expected," he said in his heart.
"Alright, I will fetch him," he said before hanging up the phone.
He then walks out of the stall, appearing in midair the next moment. Standing high above the sky, his gaze swept across the surrounding area.
His gaze paused for a moment when it landed on a single building. A wizard wearing an oversized coat and a pointy hat watches over him from the top of the building. Continue reading on empire
"The weapon Palace has sent their youngest prodigy to face me," the crippled old man said in his heart.
He has been staying in the capital for some time. He learned about the other two academies' nefarious plots. They intended to kill Vincent Carey. Knowing that made him glad he had left the academy earlier.
Now that Vince Carey has returned. He is willing to teach these people a lesson.
The middle-aged man, on the other hand, became aware of the crippled old man's gaze. He has been staying here to keep an eye on him. He is aware that the crippled old man was their target's backer.
If the target appears, everyone knows he will not remain silent. So he plans to follow him.
Swoosh!
The crippled old man vanishes from the scene and reappears outside the Capital. Seeing this, the middle-aged man started following him from behind.
