Gravity Mage with Level-Up System
368 Part 3: Central Auction
From MC's Perspective:
After leaving the coffee shop, I and Senior Gilbert disguised ourselves completely in order to enter the central auction. We removed our academy robes and dressed as common mercenaries.
A few minutes later,
We reached the central part of the city which is bustling with crowds. All the shops were open on both sides of the roads. A huge building in the middle attracted my attention.
Seeing the people were going inside the building. My eyes gleamed with twinkle. "Auction building," I uttered in surprise.
Senior Gilbert said,"Looks like a few top powerhouses have already entered the building." He slightly felt the hint of powerful mana hiding in the void.
"Powerhouse," I said in my heart. Already I had a bad premonition. His words even unsettled me more.
Then we walked toward the building. After nearing the gate, the guards stopped us. Senior Gilbert showed two entry passes. Seeing that guard let us in.
When we stepped inside. The auction atmosphere amazed me. Almost everyone is seated. Then Senior Gilbert found our seat in the last corner of the right side.
Our appearance didn't attract that much attention, apart from a few eye glances. Ignoring them we sat in our seats.
Before coming here, Senior Gilbert told me what to do and what not to do. My job is to bring the auction item safely back to the academy as per Plan A.
And Senior Gilbert will hold off the enemies. We already assumed that people would snatch and kill after the auction. Especially today, the competition will be severe.
That's why I feel that my bad premonition might come true. If Plan A is successful, I have confidence to return back to the academy safely.
Because I have the Gregor mansion with me. I will hide myself in this manner. Then it will be easier for me to return.
But all of this can be only possible, if Senior can bid the auction item successfully.
If it fails then we have to switch to Plan B. The Plan B is more dangerous than the Plan A. If anyone else bid the auction item, successfully. Then Senior Gilbert will take action to snatch the items.
I knitted my eyebrows in tension. Because the wizards here are mainly level-5 powerhouse. Thanks to the magic cloak on me. No one can pry my wizard level.
Otherwise, my lower level would have attracted attention. Then my gaze fell on the top floor. There are more than 20 private rooms on the top floor. No need to doubt.
That place is for V.I.P wizards. Then I noticed Senior Gilbert's expression. He closed his eyes off. Seeing that I casually glanced around.
Then I spotted a familiar figure at the front. After seeing him for a second. I retracted my gaze.
"He seems to be from the bloodline hall," I said in my heart. I recalled the duel memories with Clifton Cox. At that time, I saw two people standing behind the bloodline wizards.
Then a look of understanding dawned upon me. If people from the bloodline are present here, then the person might be a high level wizard. "Is it another True House Wizard?" A doubt appeared in my heart.
Then I glanced at Senior Gilbert again. Seeing his eyes closed, I sighed inwardly. Looks like he knows that's why he doesn't want to attract attention.
Then I begin to wait for the auction to start. In the meantime I overheard people's conversations. My eyes flickered with a slight glint. "People from the Royal Force and the Weapon Palace are here," I muttered in my heart.
This auction indeed attracted the attention of three giant magic academies. I don't know which famous person came here for the auction. I became quite interested.
Then 10 minutes later,
A small commotion broke out. Everyone erupted in cheer all of a sudden.
"Here we go," Senior Gilbert's words reached my ears.
Seeing his eyes open, I knew the auction had started.
Then I turned toward the auction stage. The big black curtains were lowered. In the middle of the stage, a table set up can be seen. On top of the table, I see the auction items are covered with black cloth.
Right after, from the side door a beautiful figure walks out. Seeing her everyone cheered again. A blonde woman with crystal blue eyes wearing a seductive red formal dress and red lips appeared on the stage.
Seeing her I immediately realized, she is the auction presenter here. Looking at the people's reaction, her popularity doesn't seem to be low here.
In curiosity, I used the system to probe her status. "System, probe target's details," I said to the system.
[Ding! The Host's command is recognised]
[Ding! Level-Up System]
[Status Panel]

But right after seeing the status panel my expression changes drastically. "Fu@k," I cursed in my heart. What a demoness? She is actually a level-6 wizard.
What kind of background does the Central Auction have? They made a level-6 wizard as auction presenter. Back in my home, the level-5 wizards were actual overlords.
To think such a gap exists between the Capital City and backward town. I don't know how to react for a while. No wonder these people are acting crazy.
Part of the reasons were her spells. They seem to affect everyone below level-6 wizards. Thanks to the system, I can maintain my sanity.
What a scary magic power? My back went cold for a moment. Thinking about the bad premonition, my expression turned gloomy. I doubt anyone would take action here.
Otherwise the auction authorities would step up. After closing the status panel, I sat up straight.
Meanwhile,
The beautiful woman Vivian opened her mouth to say,"Hi everyone. I'm Vivian here. Welcome to our central auction."
"Without any delay, I'm announcing this year's 1st auction item."
"The Broken Evil Sword"
"The basic price is 10 million credit points."
Her melody-like voice reached everyone's ears. It immediately stirred everyone's soul. The next moment, everyone starts to bid.
"11 Million"
"11.5 Million"
"12 Million"
People started to increase the price crazily. But I know these people are not making decisions rationally.
It's all because of her spell. These level-5 wizards have fallen under her charm spell. A bitter smile appeared on my face. Shouldn't it be rated as an evil spell?
A doubt appeared in my heart. This auction management is tricking people to bid the items. No wonder low level wizards are not coming here.
If they participate it would be a doom spell for them.
Then shaking my head, I see people continue to increase the price.
When the bidding touched 50 million.
"100 Million," A loud stern voice came from the top floor.
Hearing that everyone quieted down. "The Weapon Palace," Someone recognised the room.
My mouth curved into an arc. I wasn't surprised by the Weapon Palace's bidding. The auction item is a broken evil sword. They must be interested in it.
Seeing that it's the Weapon Palace's wizard. Everyone stayed quiet. No one dared to make a bid again.
Suddenly, someone tried to raise his hand.
"Snort," But next second the weapon palace wizard snorted in disdain.
"Cheap tricks," After saying that he became quiet.
The auction presenter Vivian's face becomes gloomy for a moment before it disappears. The level-5 wizards below suddenly woke up from the bad dream.
They don't remember what had happened seconds ago? Horror and disbelief can be seen on their faces.
Seeing that a look of understanding dawned upon me. The Weapon Palace wizard has broken the charm spell. Which caused everyone to return to reality. Now that won't stupidly raise the bid.
Vivian immediately said,"The Weapon Palace bid for 50 Million points. Is anyone willing to increase the bid?"
Seeing that no one raised the bid. After asking for three more times, the broken evil sword finally sold out for 50 million credit points.
Right after, the next auction item was brought in. Seeing that Vivian said,"The 2nd auction item is Grade-6 Golden Soil."
"The base price is 20 Million credit points."
"Whoever wants to bid they can start bidding."
Her charm spell has worked again. Everyone below starts to increase the price again.
"51 million credit points"
"51.5 million credit points"
"52 million credit points."
Seeing that my face turned ugly, the impression of auction has hit rock bottom. I'm afraid next time I won't come here alone unless I become a level-6 wizard and above.
Gilbert Reese smiled. Vincent's reactions didn't go unnoticed in his eyes. He believes this trip will be a valuable lesson for Vincent. He didn't talk in order not to attract attention.
