Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 1174: Part 2: Other Mage Departments

From MCʼs Perspective:

I noticed that 7 young wizards have gathered so far. I donʼt know who is coming next.

On the other hand, Head Howard felt time was running out. He asked, ”Where are the others?”

Stella replied, ”Two more departments to come.”

”I think Libby is on her way here,” Ruth replied at this moment.

Just as she mentioned her name. Everyone saw a female elder in a colourful dress land on the ground. She is wearing a pointy hat on top of her head.

She has black curly hair and eyes. Her skin tone is fair. She is one of the council elders. She is from the Variant Elements Department.

Behind her, there were two young female wizards, extremely talented. They are Alexa and Maisy. The Two young female wizards are showing the strength of level 7.

The other young wizards, such as Andrei, Teddy, Noel, Owen and Lenny, were surprised looking at these two. Because they are all level-8 Wizards except the Special Mage Departmentʼs Wizard. Which they donʼt know.

Elder Libby slowly walked up to the group of elders and greeted the Head of Howard.

”Libby, you are here. What about Elder Annie?” Howard asked. The Nine young wizards have gathered here. One more is yet to come.

”She will be here in two minutes,” Libby asked.

”Good,” Howard muttered.

”Head, can you talk about the mission right now?” Elder Alfie asked.

”Is this an exploration mission?” He asked again.

Hearing that, Howard smiled and said, ”Iʼm taking this talented young wizard somewhere to train. The ambitions of the Aristocratic Families were increasing day by day. So I want to test these young wizards to see if anyone is worth investing in.”

Everyone here was surprised. They didnʼt expect a direct answer from Head Howard. Even the Elder Alfie was shocked in his heart.

But everyone knows that itʼs kind of some exploration mission. Because Elder Stella has given some hints to others earlier.

But Head Howard lied to them. He is going to make the young wizards explore the new secret land. If he tells them right now, there is quite a chance for the information to leak.

Elder Paul and Elder Walter exchanged looks. They can tell that Head Howard is hiding something. But they arenʼt going to bring up the matter right now.

Stella had some guesses about this, but she remained silent. On the other hand, Elder Ruth and Elder Libby were clueless. Just as they were discussing, they noticed silent footsteps nearing them.

A female elder dressed in a sky blue dress appears. She is Elder Annie from the Water Mage Department. Behind her was the talented young wizard named April. April is a level-7 Water Mage.

But her control over water elements is similar to Teddyʼs.

Among the girls, Maddie is the only one with Level-8 Strength. Alex, Maisy and April have to rely on Maddie to lead the group.

These girls knew each other before. They quickly went to the side of Maddie, who was standing behind Elder Ruth.

”Ha...Ha...Ha..., looks like we already have little groups forming before the mission,” Howard said with a laugh.

”Head, these girls knew each other. They have done some missions together previously,” Annie said with a smile.

”Well, itʼs good to hear that. But I donʼt think itʼs the same case for the boys,” Howard said as he saw how Vincent Carey was standing alone.

The Earth Element Trio were standing together on one side as well. Lastly, the Fire Mages Owen and Lenny are standing not far away from them.

”There is a competition among the boys. Let them handle it on their own,” Elder Alfie said with a smile. His eyes flash with a glint. He knows those two Fire Mages wonʼt remain silent.

But he doesnʼt care about their affairs. He is more interested in the mission.

”Since all of the 10 young wizards have come. Itʼs time to go for the mission. First, letʼs board everyone into the medium-sized black aircraft,” After saying that, he signals everyone to board the aircraft parked closest to us.

The Council Elders guided their students towards the Aircraft. Head Howard Mason leading from the font.

”Vincent, letʼs go,” Paul Lin said. His eyes were full of excitement.

Seeing that I donʼt know whether to laugh or cry. Iʼm the one who is going for the mission, not him. Then I followed him to enter the aircraft.

Inside the aircraft, there is a massive space. The space is enough for everyone to comfortably sit and move around. The council elders were seated as well.

Head Howard set the flight on autopilot and started the flight. The black aircraft rose from the ground gently. After appearing in mid-air, it started moving towards the destination.

”Vincent, do you have any doubts?” Paul Lin asked. He thinks that Vincent Carey is the only one with level-6 Strength among the young wizards.

”I donʼt have any doubts. Iʼm fine,” I replied. Rather, Iʼm looking forward to this mission. Still, Iʼm not sure what kind of exploration mission itʼs going to be.

Paul Lin squinted his eyes. Then he didnʼt say anything. He thinks Vincent must be nervous but he is not showing it. He is aware that the Fire Mage Departmentʼs Wizards are troublesome.

There is a history of conflict between them and the Earth Elemental Wizards. He hopes that Vincent wonʼt get into their crossfire.

On the other hand, Elder Ruth, Elder Libby and Elder Annie found a young, unfamiliar place.

”Stella, whoʼs this new kid?” Ruth asked. She had noticed the young man before. But she hadnʼt got the opposite to ask.

Hearing that Elder Libby and Elder Annie begin to pay attention as well.

Stella raised her eyebrows. She was expecting this question. So she was not surprised.

She replied, ”He is a newcomer who joined the True Elements Society not long ago.”

”Fresher?”

”But why am I not sensing his Magic Level?” Ruth asked.

They are discussing in a low tone. But it was heard by Elder Alfie and Elder Walter as well.

Head Howard Mason raised his eyebrows. He doesnʼt want anyone to trouble this kid.

So he immediately said, ”Everyone, we are getting closer to the place. So pay attention. Iʼm going to give instructions.”

Head Howardʼs sudden voice startled everyone. Hearing that Elder Ruth and others turned towards him. The young wizards also looked towards him.

”The Aircraft is going to reach the location soon. The place Iʼm taking you to place which is located inside the abandoned battlefield,” Howard said.

Hearing that, the council eldersʼ expression changes drastically. They knew it was going to be some kind of exploration mission.

But an abandoned battlefield is one of the dangerous ruins inside the Ancient Redwood Country.

”Head, are you serious?” Alfie asked. His face was pale. He is bringing two of the talented students from the 4th year of the Fire Mage Department.

If anything bad happens to them, then he is going to end up in a big mess.

The other departmentsʼ Council Elders became serious as well.

”Abandoned Battlefield. No one has told me before?” The owner uttered in shock and uneasiness.

His friend sitting next to him felt uneasy as well. The explanation mission has always been difficult. Despite that, they both have been confident in their magic.

Because they both are level-8 Fire Mages, hardly anything can pose a threat to them. But the abandoned battlefield is different. Itʼs kind of a dangerous ruin. Even the best of them wonʼt survive.

The Earth Elemental Wizards Teddy, Andrei and Nicole are in shock and disbelief as well. They are having similar conversations as the Fire Mages.

Everyone has heard about the dangers of such ruins. Even they had only gone to lower-risk ruins before. So they didnʼt have any idea about the Abandoned battlefield right now.

Howard saw how everyone was taken aback by the news. He was not surprised. If he had revealed the location, he doubts whether the talented wizards would agree to come.

”Head, what is the danger level of the abandoned battlefield?” Walter asked.

His happy expression was gone. Now he looks serious as well.

”Head, tell us about the risk level?” Elder Ruth asked.

Then one by one, other council elders raised questions as well.

Elder Stella furrowed her eyebrows. Her suspicion was confirmed. Earlier, the Head didnʼt mention the location to her. She assumed the location might be under the territory of another Wizard Organisation.

But she didnʼt expect the location to be inside the Abandoned battlefield. One of the ruins that even the powerful wizards donʼt dare to enter.

”No wonder he is bringing everyone to the location,” She thought.

On the other hand, Paul Linʼs mouth twitches. Earlier he asked Vincent whether everything was fine. Now he wishes someone had asked him.

The Head Howard tricked everyone here. He then turned towards Vincent and said, ”Vincent, you are new here. You wouldnʼt have heard about the abandoned battlefield. Itʼs one of the dangerous ruins where even powerful wizards have fallen.”

”If not cautious you might end up in danger. So pay more attention to your safety once you are there,”he added.
