From MC's perspective:
The following day,
After completing the morning routine. I sat cross-legged on the ground for meditation. Yesterday, I asked John Meyers to help me find the identity of the lunatic old man.
But it would take some time for him. Until then, I can't wait for him. I already made up my mind to go to the no man's land. It will be quite an interesting journey. Since it would take quite a few counties to cross.
Then I closed my eyes and started to run the Gravity Ark Method. Then slowly I began to absorb the gray energy particles from the surrounding.
As these energies entered my body. I guided these energies according to the mental method. After complete circulation, the energy settles down in the mana core space.
And the mana core quickly absorbs the refined energy. Seeing that, I continued to repeat the process.
Time went on,
I opened my eyes three hours later. I have felt daily limiting its waste to continue meditating. Feeling the beaming energy inside the mana core as well as my body.
My mouth curves into arcs. Then I decided to check my progress.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

A translucent screen appeared before my eyes. Then I began to go through the details. Seeing that there was no change in daily progress. I closed the status panel.
20 minutes later,
I changed into fresh academy clothes and began to get ready. Then I left the room a few minutes later.
After walking out of the dorm building, I head to the dining hall. When I walked inside the hall. I spotted wizards from other Halls as well.
But my appearance caused a small commotion. But this time it's not about me. As I overheard the conversation while walking to the food counter.
A quick glint flashes in my eyes.
"Lara is going to challenge the battle tower today?" I said in my heart.
If she does that the whole academy will know about her breakthrough.
She is a level-5 wizard. Only after becoming a Core member can she challenge the battle tower.
My assumption was right. Hereafter, she will become the center of the attraction.
Then I received the food plate from the counter and sat on the empty seat nearby. I became No.1 in both Outer House & Inner House. Now Lara is going to top the rank in Core House.
Gudung~
I drank the fruit juice and started to concentrate on my food.
From time to time, I overheard the wizards' mentioning my name. But I didn't take it to heart. If they knew my real strength, then their response would be different.
15 minutes later,
I walked out of the dining hall and walked toward the Sub-Taboo Hall. Suddenly, the image of Carolina Slate comes to mind.
Yesterday, I gave her the grade 5 potion. I wonder what happened to her mana core. I'm curious about the efficiency.
Shortly after, I arrived in front of the Sub-Taboo Hall. I spent a few seconds verifying my identity before entering inside.
After stepping inside, I immediately turned toward my right. I saw Carolina smiling at me from ear to ear.
"Looks like happy news," My eyes gleamed with a twinkle. My system is ready to probe.
"Probe the target's details," I said to the system.

A translucent screen appeared in front of my eyes. 20% growth? My mouth curves into arcs. She made progress in her core development.
After closing the status panel, I walked up to her casually.
"Senior Sister, is there any good news?" I asked.
Carolina Slate revealed a triumphant smile on her face.
"Your sap essence worked out well for me. I'm just a few steps closer to the limit," She said with a smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Good"
"Good," I uttered twice.
Then I remembered the no man's land. It's time to visit the mission hall. I came here to check on her.
Since she is doing well. It's time to implement the plan. After speaking to her a few words, I walked out of the hall.
But right after, I found someone else was hindering my path.
"Who are you?" I asked.
The Wizard in front of me is intentionally blocking my path. My gaze immediately fell on his badge.
"Bloodline Hall," My eyes grew cold.
The last words of a lunatic old man come to mind.
The person is none other than Tony Burnett. After knowing Vincent's return, he knew the assassination had failed.
He couldn't help but want to see Vincent in person. He wants to see what is so special about him. But when he tries to probe his strength.
He couldn't find any clues. "Interesting," He muttered.
"My name is Tony Burnett. One of the elite bloodline wizards in Core House," He said.
"Core House?" My heart skips a beat.
The next second, a look of understanding dawned upon me.
The Inner House bloodline Wizards are no match for me. So they are sending Core members to bully me.
I sneered inside. But I kept my outward expression neutral.
"What do you want?" I asked.
Tony smiled and replied, "Nothing, I just can't wait for you to become a core house member. Then we would have a lot of opportunities to meet."
After saying that, Tony walks away from the Sub-Taboo area.
But my eyes grew even more cold.
"Such a provocation? Indeed something is wrong in their head. The Bloodline wizards believe they are invisible."
"It's the same with the Core House members. And I believe the higher-ups have the same attitude as well," I said in my heart.
But what's with him? He came here all the way to introduce himself. My instinct tells me to be wary of this person.
There is a possibility that he might know about the lunatic old man. But I can't confirm it now. I have to wait until John Meyers returns with some evidence.
After pushing down these thoughts, I started walking toward the mission hall. There are different types of missions. But I want to select one with no time limit.
Shortly after, I walked into the room. As usual, the mission hall is busy with the wizards. Then I walked up to the mission screen and started to go through each one.
Suddenly, I feel a lot of gazes on my back. I knew some of them recognized me. It will be a matter of time before it reaches hostile wizards' ears.
After pushing down these thoughts, I continue to scroll down.
[Mission 09c: Give protection to the academy's branch office in Tolu Country. Time Limit: 3 months. Rewards: Based on performance]
[Mission 09d: Kill listed heretics in Tolu Country. Time Limit: None. Rewards: Evaluated later.]
My eyes stopped on these 2 strange missions. Because the mission area is Tolu Country. The Tolu Country is one of the transit points to no man's land.
I can use the Tolu Country mission to hide my whereabouts. Then I can easily go into no man's land to start my adventure.
But there is a catch here. In the description, everything seems fine. But I know very little about the Tolu Country.
In ours, the government is made up of alliances. And the Royal Force Hall is the core of the government. But the real powerhouse is 3 big academies and a few business organizations.
Before accepting the mission, I decided to go to the library. It's better to know more about Tolu Country.
