The team returned from the mystic ruin but none of the participants appeared before the students or they roamed around the campus.
It's like they have chosen to shut themselves in their room. The wizard students who were waiting to see their faces returned with disappointment.
Vincent Carey, Lara White, Don Cline & Eva Casey were staying in their dorm room. Only the staff made a report back to the academy.
The two special class students have lost their lives. Which is not a trivial matter. So Wizard Lion didn't mind the participant's behavior right now.
When it comes to Vincent's situation. He thought it was best for Vincent to stay low for a while.
The Bloodline Hall
So far people behind the scenes have not made themselves known yet. Especially those who are against the successor of the late gravity ancestor.
Earlier, the green serpent clan's wizard Ko and the green-haired wizard had tried to stop Vincent. But they had turned out to be incompetent in the end.
Right now, one of the famous geniuses receives instructions from the higher-ups.
Instead of using schemes against Vincent Carey, they decided to use the direct method.
Which is to nub the bud before it grows monstrous. Little did they know they were too late. But they believe time is on their side.
They plan to end Vincent's life either through assassination during the mission or through a direct magic duel. Either way, the bloodline hall's higher-ups have made up their minds to offend the Sub-Taboo Hall.
Tony Burnett is a level-5 bloodline wizard who carries the bloodline of a red-eyed wolf. Which is considered to be one of the bloodthirsty beasts.
Such a powerful bloodline makes him a genius and one of the powerful level-5 wizards in the bloodline hall.
Tony Burnett appears to be a regular guy with black hair and eyes. He has a leaner physique with pale skin color. He stands 5'9ft tall in height.
His attire was a plain white shirt and black pants with an academy mage robe on top of his shirt.
Looking at the higher-up's message, a quick gleam flashes in his eyes. "Looks like his dance has come to an end," He said to himself.
He is thinking about Vincent Carey, the gravity wizard who is making some noise recently. He got up from his seat and walked up to the front window and looked at the outside view.
There are two troublesome things in his mind which were related to the content of the message.
First, the higher-ups instructed him to end Vincent's life somehow. They won't be moving against Vincent because the opposite factions have eyes on them.
And they also don't want the dean to know about their scheme. Perhaps if the scheme leaks out, it would be disastrous for the bloodline hall.
But if they manage to kill Vincent. Then the academy won't cause damage to them just because of the dead genius.
Tony Burnett squinted his eyes. He is not a crooked person, to begin with. He is just purely supporting his faction. He feels it's too bad that such a talented sub-taboo wizard joined the academy.
Already there are huge ongoing conflicts between the wizard's halls. Vincent Carey's presence only makes it worse.
Since it was a higher-ups order, he made up his mind not to shy away from it. His eyes flickered with a cold glint, as he firms his resolve looking at the scenery.
The 2nd troublesome thing bothering his mind it's about the deal made with Mike Curtis from the Taboo Hall. The higher-ups had decided not to honor the deal. The Bloodline experiments were being carried out in secrecy.
If the origin of the shadow monster's blood was leaked, then it would be dangerous for both the Taboo Hall and the Bloodline Hall. Earlier, the deal was made in blind faith. The credibility of Mike Curtis was not good, to begin with.
Tony finds it more difficult to confront Mike Curtis about this than to make a killing plan against Vincent Carey.
After standing still for quite a while. He decided to avoid contacting Mike Curtis for the time being. Because if the intelligence report was right, it will be a matter of time before Mike Curtis becomes level-6, True Wizard.
Then the conversation would be different. Somewhere in his heart, he is thinking about waiting until Mike Curtis reaches level-6. So that he can ask the higher-ups to deal with it. A cool breeze suddenly brushes past his face. With that, he stopped thinking about it.

(From MC's Perspective)
The following day,
I got up from the bed as per my daily schedule. Thinking about yesterday's routines, I furrowed my eyebrows. I spent an entire day in my room reading wizard books and following the updates on social media sites.
After reading all those posts about the bloodline hall and combining them with mentor Lion's warning I'm having this bad foreboding that they are up to another scheme again. "Annoying [email protected]," I cursed under my breath, thinking about upcoming obstacles.
Then shaking my head, I pushed down these negative thoughts. After completing the morning routine a few minutes later. I sat down for meditation. The only thing that cools down my mind is daily practice.
I closed my eyes and started to run the gravity ark mental method. Slowly, I began to absorb the gray mana particles from the surroundings. I guided those mana energies according to the mental method through veins.
After complete circulation, the refined mana energies settle down in my mana core space. The pebble size gravity core absorbed the newly refined mana energy. Feeling the energy inside the mana core. I continued to repeat the process.
Three hours later,
I opened my eyes after feeling a barrier again. The limit won't break for the time being. I need to use some precious relics to break the limit sooner.
But I know that excessive energy improved my other attributes right now. So I don't have to worry about waste of time.
