Chapter 864: Lucas Brad's situation
From MC's perspective:
A few hours later,
I completed the mission. I have destroyed all the lairs of the monsters. Hereafter, the medicine garden will be safe. Then I walked back to the teleportation circle.
Then I opened the pouch and placed mana stones around the circle. Then I chanted according to the instructions.
Swoosh!
The next second, the magic circle lit. In that same town, I disappeared from the spot.
When I opened my eyes. I found myself at the back of the mission hall. The turbulence was less this time. So the return journey was smooth.
Then I started walking towards the mission hall. After arriving at the hall, under the surprised gaze of everyone. I submitted the mission.
The staff told me the reward will be given later. After getting confirmation from the Medicine Hall. Then I nodded my head in understanding before leaving the place.
On the way, I hear the murmurs of the wizard students. A quick gleam flashed in my eyes.
"So others have taken similar missions," I said in my heart. But it's a pity, I was hoping to find a suitable training place.
But some of the important places are not allowed for the level-5 Wizards. Even if I go to the permitted places, it won't be of much use to me. I'm a level-6 Wizard. So the current mission levels are easy for me.
Soon, I returned to the dorm. After entering the room, I sat on the sofa to relax.
"Should I waste the next 7 days?" I asked myself. The Training Hall seems to be of no use to me. Only by going outside can you find real challenges.
But I don't think that the dean will allow me to go outside. Because of the Adamont Canyon incident, he will be more strict. I think he won't let me go until the competition is over.
Then I pushed down these thoughts before deciding to read the books.
[1. Basic studies on Gravity Mana Particles with Rule understanding. 2. Basic studies on Human and monster anatomy. 3. Plant and Potions studies basics.
4. Basic understanding of meditation methods.]
I have not completely read all these books. So I started with plants and potion studies basics. Though I'm not going to concoct a potion. Still, it will be useful to identify plants, especially when going outside for a foreign mission.
Meanwhile,
John Meyers doing his mission in one of the major provinces of the country. He was aware of all the news surrounding Vincent Carey.
Since Vincent has returned safely to the academy. He has put his mind on an intelligence collection mission. But unfortunately, the trouble comes all of a sudden.
Lucas Brad, a school friend of Vincent Carey comes with a bad message.
Inside one of the roadside tea shops. John met with Lucas Brad.
"What happened?"
"You have asked me to come here," John Meyers asked. He has a bad feeling about this. The only thing that connects him and the person opposite him is his existence known as Vincent Carey.
Lucas Brad showed some hesitation before replying, "Some unknown people are following me these days. From their methods, they don't seem to be ordinary wizards."
Hearing that John's expression turned serious.
"Does anyone know about your connection with Vincent Carey?" He asked.
Lucas shook his head before saying, "Apart from my parents no one knows about it. My organization is aware that we did go to the same school. But they don't know about the friendship."
His mood was sullen. He doesn't know why these unknown people are stalking him.
John Meyers knows more about the world. He thinks that Lucas Brad was exposed. It requires further planning to stay away from these people.
"Alright, for the time being. Don't go outside. You know that the Wizard Heart competition is going to start in 7 days."
"It's impossible for Vincent to take a step outside of the academy. We will discuss something once the competition is over," John advised him. He doesn't want to tell him that he could have been exposed.
So he is going to verify the news himself.
Lucas Brad heaves a sigh of relief. After some talk, Lucas left the tea shop. John Meyers took this opportunity to follow him.
He wants to identify those unknown people.
Lucas is going to the Marianne Food Chain HQ. He has been staying near HQ for the past few months. Even some people want to harm him.
They dare not do it near the HQ. Both of them are used to traveling inside the large city. So John Meyers was a little skeptical.
He doesn't know whether those people will go after Lucas Brad or not. Fortunately, he is a level-6 wizard. Even if someone appears, he can capture that person for interrogation.
Not long after, John Meyers found a few more air cabs following the tail of Lucas Brad.
Seeing that he was genuinely surprised this time. Then he wants to know what they are up to. So he ordered their cab driver to follow them.
Soon, Lucas Brad reached the entrance. After stepping out, he enters the place.
Seeing that those air cabs behind stopped their movements. Then they changed their direction to go somewhere.
John Meyers wasn't surprised by this. He wants to catch at least one of them.
20 minutes later,
The air cabs dropped the people close to the city wall. Seeing the John Meyers stepped out and started following them.
As a level-6 Wizard, his speed was high. So he can follow them without alerting them. Now he is sure that these people have hideouts.
Most of the hideouts are basements built under shabby-looking houses. The group reached a similar run-down building in broad daylight.
There is no movement of people here. The place is quietly isolated. John Meyers doesn't want to startle the snake. He plans to capture one of them to know what's happening.
Soon, he found one of them separated from the group. He is going on an errand somewhere.
John Meyers knocked him out unconscious. Because all these people are level-4 wizards. After some interrogation, he finds out that these people are bottom-level members of the dark league.
They are keeping an eye on Lucas Brad as per higher-ups' orders.
John Meyers sighed in relief. He thinks there is no threat at this moment. So there is no need to alarm Vincent Carey regarding this situation.
