Chapter 649 Part 1: Going back to the academy
From MC's perspective:
In the Gregor Mansion,
I don't know what's happening outside. But I decided to wait until the night before getting out.
Time flies,
When it was over 9 o'clock at night. I began to get ready. I wore a mask to cover my face.
The system will block any attempts of prying.
Swish~
After making sure everything was good. I appeared outside. I looked around the store room. Which was completely ransacked.
Creak~
Then I opened the door to walk out. Outside, the platform was empty. No one was here. It's a contrast to the situation a few hours ago.
The atmosphere here is pin-drop silent without any noise. I started heading towards the exit. When I got closer to the exit.
I see a lot more movement of the people. Some are inspecting the surroundings as the front terrace was destroyed.
I also see people from the media and patrol guards. Seeing that a hint of relief flashes in my eyes.
Which means the aftermath has ended and the people are gone. Slowly, I walked out of the exit. People here didn't suspect me.
They let me leave. When I left the area of the train station. I got a good understanding of the destruction.
I hope no civilian casualties happened. Most of the high-rise buildings turned to rubble.
Then I started to look for an air cab. But there was no mode of transport to be seen. Because of the tension, no one dares to operate.
Without having any other choice, I started moving towards the City Wall. I told Senior Gilbert to maintain the traffic. I'm hoping to hop into one of the academy's transport vehicles.
After a few minutes, I found an air cab and asked the driver to drop me at the City Wall's platform.
"Sir, I thought no one would come outside today because of the tension. Fortunately, you are my first customer today," the car driver said.
"Hmm," I replied. n()o)/v()ε/(l(/b.(1/)n
"No wonder, he was standing alone at the corner shop," I said in my heart.
Several minutes later,
The air cab reaches the city wall and slowly descends on the ground.
There are patrol guards strictly monitoring those who are leaving. I don't think I will face trouble here.
After stepping out, I paid the amount to the van driver and then started walking towards the gate.
...
Meanwhile,
A few hours ago,
Gilbert Reese completely captured the bloodthirsty wizard by using the prism artifact. When he returns to the gathering area.
He saw no one was there. A quick glint flashes in his eyes. The airship of both the academies is left here except for the wizards.
Which means something must have happened.
Then he tries to contact the power-type wizard Jordan.
When the call was connected.
Jordan's tensed voice reached my ears.
"Gilbert, what's going on?"
"These people asking the whereabouts of your junior brother"
Gilbert stood still in mid-air. But a deep chill can be seen in his eyes. He now confirms the evil intention of both academy wizards.
"Jordan, threaten them by saying we have the level-8 wizards coming here," Gilbert replied.
"If everything is over, we can return to the academy," He added.
Then both of them ended their call.
Time flies,
The Weapon Palace Wizards have caught one of the Transformation wizards. But a fierce fight broke out in the middle of the city.
Looking at the fierce fight in the sky. The residents hurriedly left the area. Early this morning, everyone heard the news about the Capital Station attack.
Not long after, they hear another fight between the high-level wizards. The residents are terrified.
On the other hand, Andrew and the Royal Force Leading wizard are having a discussion. At this point, both of the times cleared that each got a special task from their academy.
So sudden competitiveness broke out between the two.
"How about letting this one go?"
"I owe you a favor," The Royal Force Wizard said.
Hearing that Andrew sneered inside. Both of them are not far away from their team. They are waiting for their team to inform them.
If they know then an even more fierce fight will break out. That's why they don't want to leave one another right now.
Andrew's eyes flickered. Looking at the Royal Force Wizard, Andrew wore a sly smile.
He said, "I heard you don't have a real name. People call you by some codename. What is it? Number 2."
After saying that he let out a small chuckle.
The face of the Royal Face wizard turned ugly. The words hit his sore spot.
"Harumph," He gave a cold snort before remaining silent.
Not long after, Andrew receives the call.
He asked, "What happened?"
When his teammates replied. His pupil shrinks.
"Level-8 wizards coming," He said with a hint of fear. The worst has happened.
"We don't have much time. Ask everyone to come back. So we can leave right away," Andrew ordered in the call.
The Royal Force Wizard who was listening to Andrew was shocked.
"Level-8 wizards," he said in his heart. If it's true, then they will be captured.
Then the Yellow River Academy might ask for compensation from both the academy. He doesn't want that to happen.
His life is more important than his task. So he gave a similar instruction to his teammates.
Both of them don't know that. Someone has already damaged their Giant Airship. The person is none other than Gilbert Reese.
Since he knew others were being chased by the Weapon Palace and the Royal Force Wizards. He formed a quick plan.
If he is right, then they might fear the support of level-8 wizards.
So Gilbert damages their airship so they can pay some price.
After doing that he started rushing out towards the academy. He has to hand over the criminal.
When it comes to others. He knows they will be fine. No one dares to kill an academy's level-7 wizard. Even he has to think twice before attacking them.
Otherwise, a huge conflict could break out between the Academies. So others will surely return to the academy after some time.
