Outside,
Luke Wallace's challenge against Vincent quickly reached everyone's ears.
Sub-Taboo Hall:
Carolina's eyes flickered with complicated emotions. She didn't expect that the bloodline hall had already started their malicious work.
"Luke Wallace"
She heard the name of this person before. He comes from the top ranks of the bloodline hall.
Even though his bloodline was not that of rarity. But the purity of his bloodline is higher. Because of this many say that he has a higher chance of getting into the True House.
Carolina accesses her communication watch to look for more details. Then she read the report that Luke is currently present at the cafeteria.
He and his friends are having some food there.
Carolina bit her lips. Normally in this situation. One should help out their members. But she was unable to do so. Already, Senior Gilbert had cautioned her.
She made a mistake earlier by going out alone. Who knows? The bloodline hall might send another wizard after her.
Tud~
Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps. "Someone is visiting the hall this time," She turned towards the entrance.
Then she saw a man wearing a black trench coat walk into the room.
"Senior Mark?" A hint of disbelief appeared in her eyes.
"How long has it been?" She asked. Then she stood up from her seat to greet him.
Mark Talley removed his hat before making eye contact with her.
"Senior?"
"Now, we are in the same house. You can call me by my name," He said with a small chuckle.
Then he found a place to sit down.
Hearing that, Carolina eases down her eyebrows. She is feeling all alone in the hall. Finally, one of the dependables came back from the mission.
Then she walked forward and sat opposite him to chat.
On the other hand, Mark Talley started observing the room. It took him a long time to accomplish the mission. Since the mission location was outside of the country.
He wasn't able to visit the academy. Then he saw Carolina looking at him.
"What happened?"
"Something is on your mind," Mark asked.
He had gone for the mission outside. But that doesn't mean that he didn't know about the affairs of the academy.
Carolina nodded her head. Before her and Vincent. There are only 2 people in the Core House. One of them is sitting in front of her. And the other one hasn't come back from the mission.
Then she collected her thoughts before starting to speak. She started with the events that happened during his absence.
Mark picked up a teapot and started making tea.
20 minutes later,
Carolina finished her explanation. Mark is sipping tea. But his heart was not calm at all.
"Senior Brother has become an elder-level powerhouse," He said to himself. He has been following him as a role model.
He thought he would enter the True House first. But my Senior Brother has taken steps to reach further.
Sigh~
A sigh escaped from his mouth.
"So many things have happened during my absence," Mark Talley muttered, looking at her.
Then he thought about something and asked, "But what's with Vincent Carey."
"I heard he had awakened magic with mediocre talent. With his talent, it should have taken him at least 2 years before reaching the Core House," Mark Tally commented.
On the other hand, Carolina's heart skips. This was something she didn't even know about. Vincent's talent information was confusing from the beginning.
She even thinks that someone tampered with the information for Vincent's safety. On top of it, everyone has secrets. She too got one recently.
So she quickly changed the topic by asking, "Senior, what about you?"
'Is there any breakthrough?" She asked.
Mark Talley has been staying in the level-5 stage for a long time. Because of his breakthrough condition, he had to take many foreign missions, looking for a breakthrough opportunity.
Mark Talley smiled in response.
"Well, this time. I got some opportunities. My plague magic was further improved. But the opportunity was not enough to understand the Rule."
"It's a pity," He replied in a calm tone.
Carolina's heart rate beats faster for a moment. She didn't expect Senior's plague magic to improve as well.
People are already keeping their distance from him. If the news of his returns spreads back, then no one would bother them anymore.
Mark Talley saw her expression. From the conversation, he can tell that Sub-Taboo Hall is standing totally against the Bloodline Hall.
Several undercurrents are surging in the academy. If he can break through fast, it would be better.
Then he started accessing the Battle Tower page.
Meanwhile,
Carolina sends a message to Senior Gilbert. She doesn't know why. But she thinks Senior Gilbert is staying in his room. nOvεlusb.cOm
Not long after,
Gilbert Reese appeared in the hall. Seeing that Carolina and Mark Talley both stood up from their seats.
"You are back?" Gilbert asked.
But there is a hint of worry in his eyes. Mark Talley's situation is different. He can't be said to be a full member of the Sub-Taboo Hall.
Because the Taboo Hall is planning to rope him into their hall. "The plague magic is not distinguished clearly yet," He said in his heart.
"Yes, I just came back. Senior brother, what about you?" Mark Talley asked.
Then he saw worry on his face. Seeing that he quickly realized.
"Senior brother, don't worry. I won't accept the offer from the Taboo Hall," Mark answered.
A hint of relief flashes in Gilbert's eyes. Already, the Sub-Taboo Hall is suffering from the lack of wizard students.
If Mark accepts the offer from the Taboo Hall, then it would be troublesome.
"Alright"
"Do you know our situation?" Gilbert asked.
"Yup, I just heard from my junior sister," Mark answered.
"Good"
"Don't go outside of the academy. Until Vincent finishes his trial," Gilbert said.
Mark Talley frowned. He still has some plans in his mind. But he nodded his head in the end.
Seeing that Senior Gilbert smiled. Then he turned towards Carolina and said, "Looks like the bloodline hall is causing problems again."
"If Vincent comes to see you. Ask him to concentrate on the Trial first," He added further.
Then after speaking with them for a few more minutes, he left the place.
