Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 1243: Part 1: Magic Lord Howard and Callen

The Perry Hotel,

The former head, Callen, is observing the place. He had even used rare artifacts to find the smallest clue possible. But nonetheless, all of them had failed.

”I donʼt believe my grandson could disappear just like that,” Callen thought to himself. No one saw Charon Perry leaving.

Either someone must have kidnapped him, or Charon himself left without alerting others. He believes in the first case, because Charonʼs digital device tracker showed the last location as the Perry Hotel.

Callen frowned. There are many strange magics in the world. No one has a record of all of them except the Mage Union.

As time passes, the time for sunrise is getting closer. From time to time, he gets lost in thought while standing there, trying to figure out clue.

He then seemed to think of something.

”What was that kidʼs name?”

”Yes, Vincent Carey. I must capture that kid. I donʼt think the entire True Elements Society establishment is ready to offend me just because of a level-6 Wizard,” Callen thought to himself.

At this time, he doesnʼt know much about Vincent Careyʼs background, especially the involvement of the Mage Union in Vincentʼs life.

Callen decides to visit the True Elements Society in the morning. But before that, he has to appear in his residence. His son will definitely send someone to check on him.

Swoosh!

After making the decision, he left the spot.

...

From MCʼs Perspective:

In the morning, I appeared in class to attend the lectures as usual. These days my classmates didnʼt bother me, especially after knowing I was close to Elder Paul Lin. Their attitude has changed.

Even the lecturer who came to teach doesnʼt mind my absence at all. Because of this, my studies are going smoothly.

Shortly afterward,

The lecturer arrived and began his class as usual. The lecture was about ancient ruins. I listened attentively while seated in the last row.

Time passed.

The other departmentʼs classes were going as usual. No one found anything suspicious. Except one faction, the Aristocratic Factionsʼ people, who were discussing the Perry Family.

They mistakenly believe that the Perry Family has been creating an image as if they were up to something; many of them tried to gather information.

This included the families close to the Perry Family, but none of them were able to find anything. This made them strongly suspect that something was going on.

The matter is so significant that the Perry Family is not ready to share with them. This made them frustrated. If it was related to the interests of the Aristocratic Faction in the True Elements Society, then they believe itʼs their right to know the truth.

They donʼt want to be caught off guard if the Perry Family does something detrimental to their interests. Some people have decided to reach out to the Head of the Perry Family later in person.

At this time, the former Head Callen arrives at the True Elements Society. He has concealed his presence using the Magic Lord power. Only other Magic Lords can sense him.

He came here to test the defenses of the True Elements Society. If theyʼre weak, he wonʼt mind barging in to capture that kid.

Just as Callen appears in the sky and tries to step inside the campus territory,

A powerful magic artifact installed by Head Howard Mason reacts. The magical power detects the mana of every level, from lower level to level-10.

The level-10 Wizards are supreme wizards. They work in the True Elements Society as Palace Masters. Even their existence was detected by the artifact.

But this time, the magic artifact fails to detect mana in one particular place. If something like this happens, it alerts the artifact owner.

The artifact owner is the Head of the True Elements Society, Howard Mason.

In the deepest area of the True Elements Society, Howard senses the signal from the artifact. He knows itʼs a rare, powerful detection-type artifact. It can alert him if there is an undetectable signal.

The undetectable signal only appears if someone above its level enters the place. He knows the only existence who could do that is a Magic Lord.

Howardʼs eyes turned cold. He thinks the uninvited Magic Lord is rude.

Swoosh!

He vanished from the spot and appeared in the sky. He took a few steps forward. In the blink of an eye, he appeared at the entrance.

Then he saw an old man inspecting the defenses of their campus silently. From the clothing and family insignia, he knew who the old man was.

”Magic Lord Callen, what are you doing here?” he asked.

Callen felt Howardʼs presence when he appeared, so he was not surprised.

”Sorry, I came uninvited. I was just checking out the place,” Callen said with a smile.

”Old man, I know you were testing the defenses. Tell me what youʼre up to; otherwise, Iʼll ask your son directly,” Howard said.

He has dealt with the current Head of the Perry Family as well, so he knew the character of these two people.

Callenʼs eyes turned cold. Since Howard is also a Magic Lord, he controlled his anger.

”Listen, I need to speak with one of your wizards. I will leave after that,” Callen requested.

Howard smiled but felt something was off in his heart. He had also heard about the unusual movements of the Perry Family over the past few days.

He knew something had happened there, but he hadnʼt paid any attention to the Aristocratic Families. It was the same case right now.

But the request intrigued him, so he wanted to hear who the old man wanted to talk to.

”Itʼs not going to be easy,” Howard replied.

”Itʼs going to be a small talk. I want to confirm something, then Iʼll leave by myself,” Callen requested again.

Howard frowned. Why did he think it was not simple?

”Alright, tell me his name first. Whether to allow it or not, itʼs up to me,” Howard said in a calm tone.

”His name is Vincent Carey. A new kid studying in your Special Mage Department,” Callen replied.
