Celestial Era: The Rise of the Full-Time Enhancer

It seems that the two were prepared to kill him if he disobeyed them.

It was quite shocking as everything is happening too quickly. He was even thinking of apologizing for arriving late at first when they immediately bombarded him with their discontent.

It was extremely rude and Vincent couldn't help but tighten his grip on his cane.

Although he wanted to smash their faces right now, he need to know who was he dealing with in the first place.

He doesn't recognize their voices or even their mana fluctuations.

The one on the right appears really big and his attire reminds him of Yasin who was an adventurer or a Hunter. The other one, on the other hand, appears like a magician with his robe and has a total of four Magic Tools with him right now.

"Who are you working for? You're not telling me that your master, or whoever sent you, was afraid of me and didn't want to face me in the competition, are you?"

Vincent asked. Behind him was Tara who was already wearing her cloak that hides her appearance and weakens her presence or existence.

She seemed displeased by the two's arrogant attitude but she remained silent while glaring at them. She would probably kill them first before Vincent could act.

"Hmph… The competition will be attended by the most prestigious magicians in the Black Tower. Do you understand that? It means that the Lord of the Black Tower is interested in this competition! They're obviously there to watch Young Master Magnus perform. It will tarnish this year's batch if a blind man will be competing on the same stage as him!"

'What an absurd and stupid reason…' Vincent couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this reason.

He couldn't believe that they would do this kind of thing at all. Nevertheless, these two here were probably just ordered to stop him from participating. It's either an idea of Magnus himself or someone in the Black Tower that is thinking for his sake.

"I can't do that… I need to join the competition. Tell that to Magnus." Vincent replied with a hint of annoyance in his voice.

"What?! You're not listening to us?" The man who seemed like a member of the Hunter Organization was about to pull out his sword when the magician stopped him with his hands.

He then looked at Vincent who was just staring ahead of him.

"First of all, we're not that person's messenger. We're here as your senior. We have both attended the academy earlier than you and although we're no longer studying there, we really care about the current situation of the First Tower… How about this, I will give you this Epic Rank Talisman. In exchange don't attend this batch's Emblem Assessment… We won't mind if you attended on a different date… How is it?"

The magician said while bringing out a talisman filled with scratch and dirt.

Just by looking at its state, it's definitely not in a good condition.

"I won't accept that. Leave now. You're not welcome here." Vincent said with a harsh tone.

He was already tired. Although he consumed some potions to recover, he still felt mental fatigue after his battle against the Xonid creature.

Furthermore, he spent about half of his Pseudo-Celestial Energy so he's not in his peak condition. If possible, he just wanted to return to his room and take some rest.

However, these two don't seem to have plans of leaving just yet.

They hatefully glared and taunted him.

"Then, I guess we'll have to help you get a reason not to attend the competition… We'll try to make it less painful." The magician coldly said as he signaled for the other man to act…

"The lady over there… Get out of this room or you'll suffer as well." The large man said as he walked over to Vincent. It seems that they really plan to injure or wound him so he can't attend the competition.

It was vicious and Vincent couldn't but be confused about their actions.

'Did they really think they'll get away from this? Aren't I being too underestimated by these guys?' He felt incredulous with the situation he was in.

Anyway, Tara didn't move as she just glanced at Vincent. If he orders her to move, she'll definitely end the life of these two.

However, before Vincent could even act.

The two uninvited visitors found themselves flying!

They were thrown out by Rem from the window! It happened so quickly!

"Hey, Vincent. I think you shouldn't care for the well-being of these people." Rem said as she probably thought that Vincent was hesitating to act.

"No… I'm just worried that the carpet will get dirty. Miss Yulia likes this ivory wool carpet after all." Vincent replied with a sheepish smile.

It wasn't really his real reason and just recalled it now after the two dropped their weapons on the clean carpet.

"You did not kill them, right?" Vincent asked.

"I did not… I only broke a few of their bones. That's what they plan on doing to you anyway."

"Oh? You're sure they're not planning to kill me?" Vincent asked curiously.

"Yes… They do not have any killing intent… Anyway, I smell something different from you this time. Did you meet another Celestial Being?"

Vincent was stunned.

He didn't know that Celestial Beings have this 'feature'… Can they actually smell other Celestials or Rem is just built differently?

"It's a long story… I will be telling it you as well. In the meantime…" Vincent glanced in the direction of the two groaning people.

They seemed to have regained consciousness.

At this time, Caesus and the others didn't need to ask what happened as they sent the two outside.

The two were still unwilling to leave but recalling how they were unable to react just now made them shiver. It was so swift that an arm and a leg were broken while they are in mid-air.

That's right, their broken bones weren't from landing terribly to the ground but from a couple of untraceable strikes from that woman!

'What a blunder! A Grand Knight! A female Grand Knight is protecting Vincent!'
