From MC's perspective:
The Sub-Taboo Hall,
After having breakfast, I quickly arrived here. Yesterday, I didn't step out of my room. So hardly anyone knows of my return.
Then I proceed to scan my I.d. The monitor system quickly scanned my details.
Creak~
The next second, the door opened.
I walked inside. As usual, I found Carolina Slate sitting behind the desk. I don't know why? But she seems to be more interested in office work than outfield.
My presence alerted her. Seeing me, a wide smile grew on her face.
"Vincent, when did you return?" Carolina asked.
She later learned about Vincent's mission. But she wasn't able to establish communication. So she thought Vincent must be busy with his mission.
Now seeing him is alright. She let go of her hanging heart. Considering the recent events related to their Sub-Taboo Hall. She was worried earlier. But her heart is set at ease now.
At the same time, I remember the last day's post. Presumably, the elemental hall is causing quite the noise now.
"Senior sister, are you alright?"
"I heard about the elemental hall," I asked her.
A hint of surprise flashes in Carolina's eyes.
She didn't expect Vincent to know about this. Because he just came back. Looking at his questioning eyes.
Carolina decides to tell what she knows. Besides, she can tell that Vincent is strong now. Maybe she is stronger than her. But she doesn't know at this moment that Vincent is a level-5 Wizard.
Then she started to speak. The situation is because of low mission clearance rates. On top of it, the Sub-Taboo Wizards are low in numbers, to begin with.
Now that the Elemental Hall has surpassed them in ranking. So they started to make some noise against them.
Meanwhile, I sat on the sofa, while listening. Her words are similar to those of online posts. It's all because of low mission clearance rates.
After pushing down these thoughts, I decided to change the topic.
"Senior Sister, what about Senior Gilbert?"
"Is he back?" I asked.
It's been some time since I last saw him. I want to ask about the wizardry path after level-6. It's not as simple as mastering gravity power knowledge. So I'm hoping to get some insights from him.
Carolina shook her head in response.
"Don't forget that he is a level-6 wizard."
"True wizards are often busy doing secret missions in other countries. So it's not easy to contact him," Carolina said while rolling her eyes.
She doesn't know why? Vincent is interested in True House Wizards. Talking about the True House Wizards. A sudden realization struck her mind.
"Vincent, do you know Lara White?" She asked.
When her words reached my ears. I looked at her.
"Lara White?"
"What about her?"
I squinted my eyes.
Carolina recalls that Lara is Vincent's classmate. So Vincent might know the news already.
She said, "I heard she broke through and became the level-5 wizard."
When her words reached my ears. My heart set off storms. I was wondering what happened to her. Now this news only legitimizes her talent.
On one hand, She is a natural-born genius. On the other hand, I'm having the System as my support.
It took some seconds to digest the information. But I'm happy for her.
Carolina watched their expression of Vincent. She understands that this news is quite shocking. Because Lara White is a teenager but she has already become a level-5 wizard and hereby joining the Core House formally.
She knows Vincent and Lara are the same age. So this might hurt Vincent Carey a little bit. A hint of complex glint flashes in her eyes.
"Vincent, don't take it too hard. I know your talent is inferior compared to Lara's. But as long as you master the mystery of awakened magic. You will surely find breakthrough opportunities," Carolina tried to comfort her with words.
Vincent's medium-grade talent is not unknown to people. His initial breakthrough surprised many people.
Not all seed candidates can step into the inner house from the outer house in a short period. Even it gave the illusion that Vincent is more talented than Lara.
But that's it. Since Lara White made a breakthrough. Vincent's earlier feats will fade away slowly. Vincent's Inner & Outer House battle tower ranking may remain at the top for a long time.
Meanwhile, I shut my eyes and fell into deep contemplation.
I wasn't offended by Carolina's words. But it made me face reality. Last night, I was in a constant state of struggle. I didn't know whether to reveal my breakthrough or not.
But before going to sleep last night. I decided to hide the fact for the time being. And right now, I'm hearing from my older sister.
My assumption became true. People will not sit tight if they know about my breakthrough.
Anyway, it's good news for me. On one hand, Lara White will gain the attention of the academy. She will become the spotlight.
On the other hand, I can stay low-key and wait for the hostile faction to make a mistake.
"Vincent, are you alright?"
A female voice brought me back to reality.
Seeing her concern. I smiled in response. But I found something else bothering her as well.
Wait a second!
I almost forgot that she is a level-4 wizard as well. But she is older than us. Normally, she should have taken the step by this time. But what's stopping her?
Then I probed her details by using the system.
"Probe the target's details," I said to the system.

A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. Seeing her status after a long time. My eyes lit up with surprise. Despite spending most of my time here. She still managed to touch the limit.
But her core progress is delaying her breakthrough.
Suddenly, something struck my mind like a lightning bolt.
I remember one of my collections has a plant type of treasure. But those collections are inside the Gregor Mansion. I can't take it before her eyes.
Then suddenly my eyes turned towards the washroom.
I stood up and entered the washroom.
Meanwhile,
As Vincent said, she has been thinking about her progress. Nowadays, youngsters are making great progress. Including Lara White and Vincent Carey.
She can understand Lara White's situation. But what's with Vincent Carey? She feels Vincent Carey is becoming strong day by day.
For a moment she even thought Vincent may have accepted the late gravity ancestor inheritance.
She bit her lips in anxiety.
At the same time, I locked the door and appeared inside the Gregor Mansion.
I walked to the monitor room and arrived in front of the wooden table. I opened the drawer and found so many storage bracelets in it.
Except for a few storage bracelets, the others are free without any restrictions. Some time ago, I spotted a plant-type treasure in it.
I began to search the storage bracelets one by one. Starting from seeping my consciousness into it.
After searching four storage bracelets, I found the treasure in the 5th one.
Through my perception, I saw a liquid bottle. It was not an ordinary liquid bottle.
"Plant Sap Essence - Grade 5"
The liquid inside the bottle is deep green with a hint of golden trace in it. Which shows the quality of the sap essence.
I believe this will help her core progression.
After picking up the bottle, I appeared outside back in the washroom. I placed the treasure bottle in my storage bracelet.
Creak~
Then I exited the room and walked back to the sofa to sit. My Senior Sister is still working behind the desk. Seeing that I sighed in relief.
After sitting on the sofa, I ponder. How to bring up the conversation? Then a good idea comes to mind.
"Senior Sister, do you have treasures related to my magic?" I asked.
"Uh?"
Carolina raised her head and looked into Vincent's eyes.
"Things related to your gravity magic," She asked.
I nodded in response.
Carolina knows about the ancient snake's blood drop. But treasures like that it's not easy to come across. It depends upon chance.
Not only Vincent. She is even looking for treasures that are helpful to her. Her core is not improving.
Sigh~
"Sorry, Vincent. I don't have such treasures. But I will tell you if I come across one," She said with a sigh.
She thought her earlier words hit him hard. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked about the treasures.
