Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

(From MC's perspective)

"That's all, your strength is not that impressive," Kate Cohens said straightforwardly. Though her words might sound mean. But she revealed her opinion without hiding it in her heart.

Hearing that a quick glint flashed in my eyes. I don't know how to react to this woman. I feel she will slap me if she finds something rude.

So I kept my expression calm and stood silently.

Kate Cohens shook her head before looking at John Meyers.

"What are you doing?"

"Don't you have a fire crystal to restore your mana?" She asked out of curiosity.

On the other hand, John Meyers opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.

"I'm good. At least, my mana reserve is enough to reach the academy," He said.

Then he suddenly realized something and added further, "The capital is only a few miles away. There is no need to waste any more time."

Kate Cohens gave a cold snort.

Then she takes out her flying artifact for the journey. This time the flying artifact is similar to the boat except it has some special functions.

"Alright, we can leave now," Saying that she started to operate the flying artifact.

At the same time, I glanced at Elder John before boarding the flying artifact.

Elder John and the women entered one by one.

Swish!

The flying artifact rose from the ground and began to move toward the capital at breakneck speed.

Unlike the previous one, this time the flying artifact has stealth mode. As it passes through the cloud, the stealth mode is finally activated.

This operation widened my eyes in disbelief.

When I was lost in my thoughts, I heard a voice from behind.

"Sigh," Kate Cohens let out a small sigh before saying, "Now, no one can trace our tracks."

After saying that she set the artifact in automatic mode. It can now move towards the destinations without having to use any manual operation.

Behind her, Elder John stood silently. Ever since the women appeared. He seems to be nervous.

I looked at him hoping to see whether he would like to make some introduction about her.

The flying artifact is like the previous one. Has a spacious cabin with small rooms and hall inside.

Everyone entered inside and sat on their seats to discuss.

The woman seems more talkative than Elder John. I'm looking forward to hearing more details from her.

But before that, the appearance of the dark league member unsettled my heart. From their actions so far, I believe they won't rest until I die.

I furrowed my eyebrows in tension.

John Meyers noticed the expression of Vincent. He drank a glass of water before asking about his worries.

Kate Cohens started to do something in her communication watch. She is not interested in their conversation.

Feeling the gaze of Elder John, I sighed inwardly. I don't know whether it's appropriate to ask in front of this woman.

I glanced at her. She seems to be working on something. Then I made up my mind to ask anyway, "Elder, What is going to happen next?"

"How come the dark league member was at the capital?" I asked out in a low tone. I know the water at the capital is deep.

But still, the random appearance of a level-6 wizard made me raise my guard.

John Meyers raised his eyebrows. He was too surprised by the appearance of the insect old man. Has anyone revealed their whereabouts? He again fell into contemplation.

Earlier he thought about this issue but due to battle. He had put aside this matter. But right after hearing Vincent's words. He began to collect his thoughts.

Kate Cohens' lips curved into an arc. She may be working but her senses were opened. She also felt the appearance of a level-6 wizard felt weird.

Suddenly, she closed the communication watch and looked at both of them. Then her gaze set on John Meyers who is sitting opposite her.

"Have you spoken to anyone about your visit?" She asked while keeping her arms cross-armed.

​ Usually, it's not easy to tail level-5 wizards in her opinion. Especially the wizard-like John Meyers, it's even more impossible. Because he had done numerous secret missions previously.

So John has a vast sum of experience in this field.

At the same time, John Meyers's eyes lit up with surprise. He had never expected her to speak at this moment. Maybe she has some better intel in her hands.

"I went to the red city secretly. So technically no one should know about my whereabouts," He uttered with utmost confidence.

Even confronting Brent Dale's guardian, he was never exposed. Maybe there is some lingering group existing at the capital.

Kate Cohens knitted her eyebrows. "Well, this kid shouldn't go outside of the academy for some time," She said in a solemn tone.

Having a level-6 wizard on your back, it's not a joke. Even her beautiful little apprentice has faced some assassination attempts. But her apprentice has never faced level 5 or above.

So when it comes to kid Vincent, she is speechless. She has to admit, in this one particular thing her apprentice was left behind.

She doesn't know what the students will think. If this matter got exposed. Then she noticed the outside environment. The flying artifact is moving toward the destination without any hurdles.

John Meyers felt Kate's words had some truth. This incident has exposed some flaws on their side. Until they figure it out. Vincent should act in a low key manner.

On the other hand, I didn't ask any more questions. One thing I understand is that these two won't answer anything considering my age.

So I decided to rest inside one of the rooms until we reach our destination.

...

Dragon City- Capital,

Inside the Royal house restaurant,

"Is it a success?"

"What happened?"

Two green silhouettes discussing in a low tone. They are inner sect members of the dark league. And both are level-5 wizard powerhouses.

Though they are having their lunch inside a private chamber. But still, two of them cast an isolation barrier before speaking in a low tone.

One of the wizard's faces was scarred. And another one has a scholarly face. Both of them are dressed in normal green wizard robes issued by the adventurer union.

But nobody knows both of them have a hidden identity. As inner sect members of the dark league both of them have some responsibility to fulfill.

Like passing some important intelligence back to the organization and carrying out a few secret killings tasks.

Right now both of them have been waiting for the elder's call. Some time ago, the headquarters asked them to verify some information.

Elder Insect has gone to kill the new talented seed of the Yellow River Academy. It's been some hours but so far they have yet to receive any news from him.

The scarred-faced wizard opened his mouth to ask, "Perhaps people from the academy are hiding somewhere."

"It's not easy to escape from our level-6 wizard," He said with a wide grin on his face.

A frown appeared on the scholarly wizard's face. He knows the power of that insect old man. And he also knows that the Elder has a fiery temper. He doesn't put anyone in his eyes.

He may purposely avoid sending the confirmation back. The more he thinks about it the more it seems plausible.

"Why don't we contact our elders?" The scholarly face wizard suggested his opinion. He feels it's better to hand over this headache to elders back in the organization.

They both got dual identity anyway. No one can hold them responsible for the mission.

The scarred-faced wizard felt it was good to contact the elder. But he also thought it's better to wait for a while. The insect old man is not an ordinary wizard.

He might seek some revenge later. Both of them knew how cruel the dark league's wizards were.

Finally, he said, "Let's wait for a while, still if there is no response we can contact our elder."

Then both of them continued to enjoy their food. But nobody would have thought a dignified level-6 wizard is currently held as a prisoner inside the imprisoned artifact.

One hour later, both lost their patience. Especially when the scholarly wizard feels something bad. Without asking for the scarred-faced wizard's opinion. He sent a message to his elder.

The scarred-faced wizard's expression turned dark. He knows that the person in front of him is not a fan of the insect old man.

But he doesn't know what happened at the other end.

"What about the talented seed?"

"I can easily kill that school brat. But this damn old man is making it difficult for us to survive," After sending the message, he grumbled.

Each high-level mission comes with rich rewards. An especially important mission like this will have good significant rewards in return.

But he was displeased by his organization's move. For a level-6 wizard, it's a piece of cake to kill lower-level wizards. And he will get an expensive reward in return. His heart was filled with jealousy and some resentment.

Both of them are risking their lives to complete a high-risk mission. But someone out there is doing simple tasks despite being a level-6 powerhouse.

The scarred-face wizard revealed a bitter smile on his face.
