Chapter 872: Part 1: Arrival (Wizard Heart Competition)
From MC's perspective:
I met Stella Glover's gaze directly. She revealed a cold smile on her face. Seeing that I ignored her before turning towards the council elders.
"I don't know what's with her. But there must be a reason behind her act," I said in my heart.
Shortly after,
When everyone was gathered. One of the council elders spoke.
"Let's get in!"
Hearing that I saw a huge airship ready to depart. There will be 5 council elders coming with us. I have also heard that Vice-dean will be watching secretly.
But I haven't heard about this person before. Then the top 10 wizards in both level-5 and level-6 list started to enter one by one.
Senior Gilbert wished me success. At this time, Carolina has also returned.
"I will be cheering for you," She said with a smile.
"Thanks," I replied.
She wants to watch the live duels from the arena as well. But the elders have denied the permission for some reason.
Soon, it was my turn. Elder Galvin nodded at me at the same time. After thanking him, I walked in. Then I came to the deck to take a look.
A few minutes later,
When everyone was boarded. The airship starts to rise above the ground. After finding the balance in the mid air, the airship starts to fly towards the destination.
"Huh, I don't think you will be this confident later," A sarcastic voice reached my ears.
When I turned around, I saw the person was none other than Mike Curtis. Instead of being pissed off, I smiled at him.
Mike Curtis dropped his idea of revenge long ago. Lately, he has not received any instruction from the teacher as well.
So he didn't bother troubling the Sub-Taboo Hall in the past few weeks.
Suddenly, Mike thought of something before asking,"I heard you have gained something during the Adamont Canyon Trip."
"I hope your strength has improved. Otherwise, it won't be fun challenging you anymore," He uttered with confidence.
On the other hand, only one thing comes to mind was he has improved as well.
The other level-5 wizards saw that scene the top 2 wizards are discussing. It's a rare sight. Because both the Taboo Hall and Sub-Taboo Hall are rivals.
A few steps away from them, elemental wizard Pete's eyes flicker.
"What are 2 people discussing?" He asked himself.
In the past few days, he has been practicing hard. Trying to improve his combat capabilities. At that time, he hadn't forgotten to check on these two.
But all the information he had received was these 2 were doing nothing except staying in their own room.
After that he was disappointed. But looking at them now, he wants to see where their confidence comes from.
"Don't look at them," Rayon, the Mechanical Wizard's voice, sounded from behind.
Hearing that Pete turned towards him.
"What?"
"Both of them are taboo category wizards. Their magic power is bound to be more destructive and powerful."
"We have our own magic path. We can become stronger by taking step by step progress," Rayon said.
Hearing that Pete's expression turned better.
Miranda from the Unique Hall was looking forward to meeting Vincent. Seeing that Mike Curtis was with him and stayed behind.
Similarly, other wizards take a look before minding their own business.
At the same time, the level-6 wizards are within their own circle.
An hour later,
The airship of the Yellow River Academy enters the Capital air space.
When the people down below noticed the airship with Yellow River Academy's sigh. They let out a huge cheer.
Very quickly it was noticed by more and more people. The news starts to spread like a wildfire. Soon, the airship reaches the duel arena.
There was a huge parking lot behind the duel arena. Where more than 5 airships can be parked. There is also parking space available for other flying vehicles including the monster carriages.
When the airship landed softly on the ground. Then the wizards start to exit one by one.
"We are finally here," I said in my heart. Once the completion was over. I can start looking for the gravity magic treasures.
Then I started observing the surroundings. We are the first one to arrive.
Shortly after,
The duel arena's direction and several other managers came to greet us. They met with the council elders before guiding us to the guest room.
The guest rooms are above the spectator seats. The duel arena can accommodate more than 100 guest.
Each room is a studio type room, enough for one person to live comfortably. The whole competition might take a couple of days to end.
Apart from that area also have gallery rooms. Where they can watch the duel in groups. There are 3 entrances and exits available. The path leads to their accommodation as well.
They are carefully built inorder to avoid the interaction between the 3 academies.
The director of the arena is talking to the council elders. While the managers are guiding everyone towards their room.
Soon, I came to my room. Which is labeled as A-Block 15th room. After getting the access code, I registered my palm print.
Then I walked into the room. The room was smaller than the dorm room. But the basic necessities are covered.
After checking the place, l sat on the bed.
Meanwhile,
The news of the arrival of the Yellow River Academy Wizards reaches all corners of the city. Even those malicious groups gathered outside of the City Gate came to know about this news.
The evil groups are divided into 2 camps. One is the killer from the Shadow SKull. And others are the members of the Dark League.
The members of the dark league have been passing information to the higher ups. The current news is so important.
While the Shadow Skull Killers are on their own. Each of them is here for a mission. They are looking for a way to enter the city.
At this point of time, so many wizards are patrolling the city gate. From time to time, the mana of level-6 and level-7 can be felt.
That's why these groups are a little hesitant.
