Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

From MC's perspective:

After observing the metal fragment, I used the system space to store it inside. I made contact for a moment. But it's enough for the system to act.

Without other metal fragments, it's hard to guess the name of the artifact. But still, the lingering mental power left in it shows its preciousness. 

Then I turned my attention towards the pit. Instead of wandering elsewhere, I decided to investigate this place as much as possible.

As for the accommodation, I have the Gregor mansion with me. After gaining some clarity, I started continuing the digging.

2 days later,

After carefully digging up a few important places. I have failed to come across anything useful. The only thing regrettable was that my mana reserve is low. 

I can only use the remaining mana for emergency purposes. Seeing that a trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. Before coming here, I thought No Man's Land was easy to survive. 

But I underestimated the environment here. Though there were no monsters and wicked wizards here. But the gloomy atmosphere gives off a bad vibe.

Certainly, the environment will disturb my mind. If I continued to stay here. What to do now? Then I turned around and looked toward the dark forest's direction.

I miss the act of looting and killing. If I had done that, it would have been useful for me now. So why not go back and see?

A question appeared in my heart. Either, I can spend 30 days in the Gregor Mansion or look for resources. 

But the appearance of the unknown wizards back then was not clear yet. I was fortunate to not come across the level-7 wizard so far.

But it can't be said for the future. 

After gaining some clarity, I decided to stay low-key in the Gregor Mansion. After 30 days, I will make the return journey. 

Since my attributes have almost reached the limit. Once I return to the academy, I'll join the core house department. 

Then I would try to gain knowledge about the level-6 breakthrough. After setting up a clear road map ahead, the uneasiness in my heart was completely gone.

Days passed in a blink of an eye,

The Yellow River Academy was not worried about the investigation team. Since the team was led by a level-7 wizard. They have the luxury to report back whenever possible.

But the real activities of the investigation team were only known to the Bloodline Hall and the Elemental Hall.

The team led by Julius Lobb was finding it hard to look for Vincent Carey. It's like looking for the needle in a haystack. 

The attitude shown by the Silver House is turning bad lately. The investigation team had promised to leave Tolu Country in a few days.

But even after weeks, the investigation team didn't leave. The Silver House was dissatisfied with their actions.

Unless Julius receives further direction from the bloodline hall. He doesn't want to give up. If he fails to capture that kid, it will only tarnish his image.

Days passed,

So after deliberate consideration, the investigation team decided to camp at Rust City on their side of the border.

When they left the Tolu Country, it was quickly known by major forces. Especially the forces of the Tolu country sighed in relief.

But the team's actions don't sit well with the Elder House in the Yellow River Academy. Especially the elders who are responsible for academy affairs. 

After knowing that the investigation team was acting strangely. They quickly found out the reason behind this. The Bloodline Hall and the Elemental Hall broke the rules of the Academy.

Don't know who started the fire. But the matter of the investigation team staying in Rust City began to spread like wildfire. It doesn't matter whether it's an inner house or a core house.

The incident became a talking point. Even the clueless low-level wizards in the outer house are discussing this. While some of them are confused.

But the big wigs in each hall are aware of the reason. A month ago, the sub-taboo wizard of their academy was reported missing from that place.

Unknowingly, people started to connect the dots. The Bloodline Hall and the Elemental Hall became the target of indirect criticism. Instead of finding the culprit responsible for killing their level-6 wizard.

The investigation team was busy on something else.

The Sub-Taboo Hall (Elder House):

After secretly promoting to level-7 rank. Gilbert Reese had entered the Elder House without alarming anyone. As the wizard halls are busy with something else.

Nobody had time to monitor Gilbert Reese's tracks.

Like the True House, the Elder House has various facilities. He has his mansion in the Sub-Taboo Hall. But compared to before, the grade was higher. 

The Sub-Taboo Hall was located in its own private space. But each house was separated by a barrier. After becoming a level-6 wizard and above, the wizard can gain further access.

Gilbert, who was practicing in his home, suddenly thought of something. Then he accessed the barrier to reach the inner house.

Swoosh~

After a few seconds, he appeared in the living room. There was only one person who was doing the office work. 

She is none other than the Carolina Slate. When Gilbert was her. His eyes lit up with surprise. 

"You broke through?" He asked.

Alarmed by his voice, she noticed his presence.

"Senior, when did you come back?" Carolina asked.

These days she has been worrying greatly. Vincent Carey's disappearance hit her hard. Such a talented junior was being targeted by many people. She was helpless.

Gilbert noticed her state of mind. For a wizard to have such a weak mental state. This shows that she has not been practicing seriously.

Gilbert Reese sighed inwardly.

He said, "I came a few days ago. But what about you? You should enter the Core House."

Carolina wasn't surprised by Senior's answer. Thanks to Vincent's sap treasure and her resources. She managed to break through.

But she was not in a hurry to enter the Core House. Considering so many things happening lately. She feels it's not the right time.

"Senior, I'll enter later. But can you tell me about Vincent? Is there any news?" She asked.

There was a bad rumor spreading outside lately. The rumor was that Vincent Carey was dead. And the investigation team has been busy looking for his corpse.

Gilbert's eyes flickered with a slight glint. It's not like he doesn't know. His movements are low-key lately. 

After killing that Burnett clan elder. He thought the Burnett clan people would retaliate. Strangely, nothing short of that happened. 

Then he came back to the academy after that incident. But he didn't expect the shamelessness of the bloodline hall and the elemental hall.

They are openly looking for Vincent Carey. 

"Vincent Carey is doing fine. He will return after month end. Meanwhile, you should prepare yourself to enter the Core House," After saying that he disappeared from the spot and appeared back in his mansion.

He went there on a whim. But that girl's breakthrough brought him a surprise. When it comes to the investigation team. He sneered inside.

No matter how shameless they can be. He believes they won't find Vincent Carey. Because in Rust City, he had tried to find him.

But he wasn't able to find any clue. But from Vincent's words at that time, he can tell that he was staying somewhere safely. 

Suddenly the image of the investigation team leader comes to his mind. 

"Julius Lobb," Gilbert said to himself. He knew that guy was not good. The terror of a level-7 wizard is something else. He had already informed the higher-ups of the Sub-Taboo hall.

They may not be able to stop the bloodline hall and the elemental hall's actions. But he at least hopes the academy may call back Julius Lobb.

The level-7 wizard like him was doing nothing there. Sure, he was hoping to hear some answers soon.

The Bloodline Hall,

Tony Burnett was practicing diligently. He gave up the matter of pursuing Vincent Carey. Ever since the Clan Head made the decision. He stopped having those illusory dreams. But he didn't return the forbidden potion. 

He doesn't have the guts to meet that scary woman. Since he was practicing that doesn't mean that he doesn't know what is going on outside. 

The investigation team's actions even baffled him. He thought they would secretly search for Vincent Carey. But now the whole academy knows about their purpose.

Along with that he also heard the rumors spreading lately. Vincent Carey is dead? He doesn't believe it all. 

That person managed to reach Rust City before his disappearance. He still believes that someone strong must have helped him. Otherwise, it will disappear under their nose.

…

Meanwhile,

Julius Lobb was not surprised by the criticism. He is spending time monitoring the whole city. But still, there was no sign of Vincent Carey. He even wanted to go back.

But the Bloodline Hall higher-ups are not ready to give up yet. So without having much choice, he is spending days here. 

He is also aware of the pressure they are under. If the dean comes back, then they have to face a series of consequences.
