From MC's Perspective:
The following day,
After getting ready, I entered the room. Then I decided to leave the room and go to the Sub-Taboo Hall. I am curious how everyone else has been.
I took a few steps forward after leaving the dorm. Old Man Dean appeared in front of me and grabbed my shoulder.
The next thing I knew, I was in midair, heading deep into the academy.
Shortly afterward,
We arrived at a familiar spot. I noticed the inheritance place in front of me. A look of understanding dawned on me.
"I am in Sub-Taboo Hall's Subspace," I said in my heart. Discover exclusive tales on empire
Tud!
Then I heard footsteps coming from behind us. I turned around to have a look. The individual is none other than the Crippled Old Man.
I can see that both of their expressions were serious. I was in the same situation as well.
"Kid, you have got a lot to explain. Could you please tell us what you have been through? The crippled old man asked.
The dean casually pulls out a table and chairs to sit down.
I assumed that conversation would take place in the dean tower. But he brought me here directly.
The crippled old man and the dean sat in the chair. I sat in the opposite seat from them.
I have come prepared. So I am not afraid of them. Then I started speaking. Starting with my experiences in the Lizzen State.
As time passed, I told them about my adventures in the Silent Forest before settling into the Tribal Nation. I will not tell them about the lawless country. The story was already bizarre enough for them to believe.
Since someone had noticed me in the tribal nation. I do not think I needed to explain much about them. Then I lied about working odd jobs in the tribal nation.
Finally, I informed them about the return trip. But I skipped the part involving Arken City's airship. Instead, I lied to them by returning alone.
After finishing my explanation, I looked at their expressions.
From beginning to end, the crippled old man and the dean remained emotionless. However, they were equally amazed in their hearts.
The dean was shocked to his core. It is difficult for him to accept Vincent Carey's story. He began to consider whether it was true or not. Because he is familiar with the Lizzen Country and other neighboring countries.
It is difficult for level-5 Wizards to survive there. In some cases, lower-level wizards face harsher situations in foreign countries than in their own.
So he has a hard time believing. At the same time, the Silent Forest Story confused him. Traveling to a foreign country with a Strength level of 5 is already dangerous.
But traveling to the forbidden zone is something else. There had never been a case in which a level-5 Wizard successfully exited the Silent Forest.
Not only Vincent had crossed the silent forest to stay with the Tribal Nation. He had made it back alive. The old man dean furrowed his brow.
The crippled old man had a sudden realization. He then tries to determine Vincent Carey's strength. But he saw nothing but mists. He assumes that it was because of Vincent's inheritance.
"What level are you at?" he asked.
Hearing that, the dean became interested as well. He had forgotten to access Vincent's current strength. Some of Vincent's peers have already achieved level 6.
When he attempted to see through. He was surprised. The dean was in the same situation. He was unable to determine Vincent Carey's strength.
On the other hand, my heart skips a beat. If I tell them about level-6 Strength, they will have questions about the Gravity rule.
I think it is better to tell them I am at level 5. If they can locate the source of gravity rule, it will make my life easier.
"I have reached the level 5 limit. But I am not sure where to find the Gravity Rule," I said.
The dean was not surprised. He knows how difficult it was to advance to level 6. The Gravity Rule is difficult to find.
The crippled old man remained silent. He had assumed that the inheritance would provide answers for Vincent.
"Do you not get any information from your inheritance?" the crippled old man inquired.
Hearing that, an idea occurred to me.
"When I attempted to access additional information in my head. I found out the name of the country. But I am not sure where it is,' I replied.
Hearing that, the old man dean and the crippled old man became interested. Even the old man dean is becoming aware of Vincent Carey's inheritance.
He believes the inheritance includes information about the Gravity Rule as well.
The crippled old man's eyes flash with a gleam. He has decided to assist Vincent in finding the Gravity Rule.
"What is the name of the country?" He asked.
"Ancient Redwood," I said in a calm voice.
The dean's and the crippled old man's expressions change slightly.
"Alright, we can discuss it later. You can go back now. One more thing: do not tell anyone about your experiences. Simply say you were assigned a special mission by the academy." The crippled old man explained.
I nodded my head. The old man Dean stood up and grabbed my shoulders.
Shortly afterward,
He dropped me off before the dorm.
"Consider your situation. I have already canceled your previous mission. So do not go looking for the mission. Your account is currently locked. Except for the library, you are unable to access other facilities."
"Take it as a small punishment. Your disappearance has resulted in a significant waste of resources and manpower in order to gather intelligence. I hope you do not do the stupid thing next time." He disappeared after saying that.
Sigh!
I sighed internally. He seemed to be upset. Because of the crippled old man's presence, he has limited ability to punish me. But I can understand their situation.
The three forces have devised a sinister plot to assassinate me. They did, however, fail again.
