Chapter 341 Guard Mission

From MC’s Perspective:

After having breakfast, I walked to the mission hall. Carolina was also on a mission. After passing many rooms, I reached the hall and saw mission tasks displayed on the screen.

There was a third trial in a couple of days, so I decided to pick a task close to the academy.

One task caught my attention: Task: Guard the Treasure Pavilion for one night. Reward: 500 Battle Tower Points, 10 Mid-grade mana stones. Location: The Dragon City.

The Dragon City was close to the academy, and the mission would take only one night. It was perfect for my current situation. But when I saw the reward, I paused.

The Battle Tower points were expected, but the mid-grade mana stones were unexpected. I guessed the mission would be challenging.

I decided to accept the task and headed to the desk. After registering my name, I left the hall and went back to my room. The mission description was now clearer.

The Treasure Pavilion would be active tonight, and the goods would arrive during the night as well. That’s why they needed the protection of a Level-3 wizard. The Dragon City was generally safe, but the Treasure Pavilion wanted extra security.

I made arrangements and left for the mission. On the way, I encountered the usual prying gazes. I frowned and quickened my pace to reach the transportation area. I chose a flying car instead of a flying beast carriage.

After entering the office, I requested the flying vehicle, and a car appeared. I told the driver my destination, and the car quickly left the academy’s airspace.

I sighed in relief as the annoying people saw me getting in. But I didn’t know which hall they were from.

My eyes glimmered with a cold gleam as I jotted down the faces of the hostile wizards from both the Elemental Hall and the Bloodline Hall. I record these new hostile wizards to memory as well.

In the blink of an eye, the flying car arrived at Dragon City an hour later. I instructed the driver to land at the nearest platform.

Swishing sounds, the driver guided the flying car toward the destination. Through the window, I observed various flying vehicles of varying shapes and sizes entering the city.

My gaze then shifted to the many towering glass buildings. I wondered what purpose these structures served.

The flying car smoothly landed on the platform, and I stepped out of the car. I quickly located the treasure pavilion on my map, which was located a short distance down the street.

I was relieved to be wearing a magic cloak over my shirt, which would conceal me from prying eyes. After taking a quick look around, I hastened away from the area. 𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗹.𝐨𝗿𝗴

I have a nagging feeling that completing the mission will be challenging. To calm myself, I set off to the location.

On the way, I see a lot of people on the street. Shops on both sides are busy with shoppers.

If it weren’t for their wizard robes, I would have thought they were all normal humans. I can’t help but think of my hometown.

An image of my parents flashes in my mind. I don’t know if it’s safe to contact them or not. Elder John may have some information.

Furthermore, I’m uncertain about the dark league. After the level-6 wizard’s attack, I doubt they have given up on their mission to kill me.

They are probably waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Sighing, I pick up my pace a bit. The academy events almost made me forget about the real threat outside.

Compared to the dark league, the antics of the wizard halls seem insignificant. I must stay alert to the dark league’s movements. I have a feeling I will soon encounter another member.

As I walked, I detected the mana of many powerful individuals on the street, which prompted me to exercise caution when passing by the pedestrians.

One wizard, wearing a golden mage robe, caught my attention. I quickly recognized the background of the wizard as the academy attire of the Royal Force Hall, meaning this person was a student there.

To avoid attracting the attention of the unknown wizard, I looked away. However, it troubled me that he is headed in the same direction as I was.

To ensure that he went ahead of me, I slowed down my pace intentionally.

“System, show me the target’s status panel,” I said to the system.

A status panel appeared in front of me. I frowned as I looked at it. The person had just broken through recently.

Relieved to find out he is a weapon wizard, I sighed and closed the panel. I continued my walk.

As I approached the Treasure Pavilion building, I saw the Royal Force wizard ahead of me, entering the building casually.

Surprised, I wondered if he was going to purchase something. I followed him into the building, full of doubt.

When I entered the building, I saw the Royal Force Wizard speaking to the staff. I walked up to the desk, and as I got closer, I overheard some surprising words. The wizard was here for a guard mission too.

My presence caught the attention of the staff and the wizard. The staff asked me about my purpose for the visit. Ignoring the Royal Force Wizard’s gaze, I explained my mission.

The wizard was taken aback. I couldn’t help but laugh inwardly at his expression. However, when I revealed my wizard level to the staff, I received a disdainful look from the Royal Force Wizard.

The staff arranged a separate room for us to spend our time until the night guard mission.

The wizard was assigned the room next to mine. I couldn’t help but shake my head at his behavior and sneered at the lack of humility from the Royal Force Wizard.

I entered the access code to open my room, and the door creaked open as I leisurely walked inside.

Meanwhile, wizards from various halls left the transportation area and conveyed messages back to their respective halls. Unlike Vincent’s guess, the group was not from one hall, but a collaboration of two or more.

They quickly shared the information about Vincent that they had gathered, and soon the news spread rapidly. Those who were after Vincent was especially elated to hear the news.

At the Bloodline Hall, Clifton Cox was chatting with friends when one of his lackeys appeared with a haggard expression. Clifton immediately stopped talking and inquired about the details.

Upon learning that Vincent had left the academy for a mission, Clifton got up from his seat, his eyes shining with excitement.

He looked forward to officially issuing a challenge, but there was some hesitation in his heart as he didn’t know much about Vincent, other than that he was a Sub-Taboo gravity wizard.

However, the next moment, Clifton’s expression became serious. He looked at the lackey and asked, “Who else knows?”

Upon hearing that the Beast Hall and Transformation Hall were aware of the news, Clifton’s eyes flickered with a cold glint. He was well aware of the motives of these two halls.

Clifton is satisfied with the wizards who appear to be unhappy with Vincent’s presence, as it could damage their interests.

However, he doesn’t want Vincent to stay inside the academy for a long time, as fights between wizards inside the academy are strictly forbidden. So, he decides to leave and test Vincent’s strength during an official challenge.

When Clifton arrives at the mission hall, he is surprised to see many top figures from different halls, including Eugene Beard from Beast Hall and Roberto Noel from Transformation Hall.

Clifton, being an elite wizard with many followers, recognizes these figures and walks toward the front desk. As he approaches, he overhears the wizards from Beast Hall inquiring about Vincent.

The next moment, Clifton’s face turned dark as the worst thing had happened: the people were after Vincent’s information. Clifton didn’t know that Eugene Beard and Roberto Noel were already aware of his presence.

Clifton quickly obtained the information from the front desk staff and learned that Vincent had gone to the dragon city, causing a hint of relief to flash in his eyes. Not wanting to waste any more time, he promptly left the Hall.

Right after Clifton’s departure, the wizards from the Beast Hall and Transformation Hall also left the mission hall. Everyone now knows about Vincent’s task, and it will only be a matter of time before the news reaches other halls.
