Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

From MC's perspective:

Sub-Taboo Hall,

The duel was short but it opened my eyes. "It's not just simple manipulation, he can materialize shadows to this extent," I said in my heart.

The opponent was stronger than other bloodline wizards. But he was taken down just like that?

"Now, what do you think?" Gilbert asked. He is observing both of their expressions.

"He is strong no doubt about that," Carolina said. She knew this from the beginning. But after watching the duel, she realized that she still underestimated the Taboo Wizard.

"As long as there is a shadow around him to control, then it's difficult for others to defeat him," I replied to him.

But I have confidence in my gravity magic. Gilbert shook his head. He knows some internal news. Mike Curtis was more lethal at night time. He has taken many killing missions issued by the academy.

When it comes to a death duel, it's hard to tell whether Mike would be this patient.

Meanwhile,

Mike Curtis's duel has caused shockwaves across the Academy. So much so that the limelight held by the Beast Hall and the Transformation Hall were quickly taken by him.

From wizard students to high-ranking wizards and elders. The duel has become the topic of discussion. So among the genius wizard students, the name of Mike Curtis is leading the ranks.

Everyone was terrified by the visual. Imagine getting pierced by your own shadow. So many wizard students thought Mike Curtis would be unrivaled in this internal competition.

Dean Tower:

The old man dean was equally impressed. He had already selected the name of Mike Curtis. But the duel win will make him more justified.

Suddenly, his eyes set on another important name.

"Vincent Carey," He said in his heart.

He has witnessed Vincent's duel before. It was equally impressive. But he didn't know what would happen. If these 2 are matched up against each other.

The old man's eyes flickered. The Matchups are arranged randomly. No one is manipulating from behind the scenes.

If such a thing were to happen, the powerhouse wouldn't remain silent. He knows some of them are observing the internal competition silently.

"Sigh"

After some moment, he let out a sigh. If such a match happens, it's impossible to intervene. He hopes that Vincent will stick around so that he can participate in big competitions in the future.

Taboo Hall:

After returning to the Taboo Hall, Mike Curtis got relaxed. He knows he has become a topic of discussion. But he wasn't worried about the outside noise.

He then checks out the top list on his communication watch. His name ranked right up at the top. After glancing at it, he is looking at the names mentioned below.

He is looking for an opponent who can pose difficulty to him. For him, all he just needs are shadows.

Some elemental wizards can cause some problems. But it depends on how deep their element controls are. While checking out the names.

His gaze fell on Vincent Carey's image. There is a duel clip video attached under his name. Those who are not familiar can watch the duel to know.

Mike Curtis clicked the video to watch. It was a duel between the Beast Hall Wizard and Vincent Carey.

Mike's gaze is set on Vincent in the video. He is observing his actions. When the duel started. He saw the actions of the Beast Hall Wizard and monster beast.

The monster beast is charging at the opponent.

Finally, he saw the changes. Vincent released the magic spell in response.

Mike's eyes flickered. He saw the Beast Hall Wizard and monster beast suffering under some sort of pressure.

In a blink of an eye, both of their bodies suffered injuries and they had to give in at the end.

After closing the video, Mike frowned. It's not wrong to say that Vincent Carey is one of the opponents whom he is looking forward to fighting.

"Pressure," He mumbled under his breath. He can tell that Vincent's opponents are crushed under tyrannical pressure.

What's more surprising is that the spell was cast instantly. Vincent didn't give the opponent time to react. Mike squinted his eyes. He can somewhat guess the strength of the Beast Hall wizard.

Which was close to the Peak limit. The monster beast must have above-average 5th-order strength. So when he tried to imagine himself in this situation.

He thinks that crushing pressure could make it difficult to control the shadows. Which makes Vincent Carey a difficult opponent. On top of that, Vincent is not a close combat mage.

Which would make him put extra effort into controlling the shadows. It would be good if he gets to fight him before the duel.

But he didn't think it would happen.

While his fingers tapping the desk. He further scrolls down the page to see other difficult opponents.

The name of the transformation wizard caught his eye. "Ghost Transformation," He uttered in a solemn tone. Jennie poses a natural threat to others who are not proficient in mental and soul power.

There is also a video clip attached under her name. Seeing that Mike decides to watch it.

Meanwhile,

The next duel is taking place. But it's not as interesting and thrilling as Mike's duel. People are more captivated by Taboo Magic.

Unfortunately, there are not many wizards in the Taboo Hall.

Time passed,

When the last duel for the day was over. Everyone is looking forward to the next day. The final 50 will be decided after tomorrow's matchups.

From the day after tomorrow, the duels for level-6 wizards will be held. Which will be more interesting than the core wizards?

Because from level 5 above, wizards go into the category of high-ranking wizards. The level-6 True House Wizard is the first step into this category. So many wizard students are excited about this duel.

Meanwhile,

After arriving at my dorm room. I entered inside. Earlier, I worried about Jennie, the ghost transformation wizard. She genuinely posed a threat to me.

She can make me release level-6 strength. Which I don't want to happen. Fortunately, I found the solution in the form of a Star Rune Spell.

But now another weirdo appeared with strange magic. How can someone stay away from the shadows? And that guy has the magic to control the shadows.

The scene of a gigantic body riddled with holes is playing in my mind. I wonder how Matt is doing?

"Poor guy, he became a test piece for many of us. Even his body was left with holes. Then it can be said the same thing for us," I said to myself.

It's not like he can injure me seriously. But that situation would reveal my level-6 strength. I don't think his level-5 spell can cause similar damage to the level-6 wizard.

So I have to defeat him before he can cast the magic spell.

Then I went to bed to lie down. But I don't know why suddenly the image of Mum and Dad flashes in my mind all of a sudden.

I sat up straight. They are somewhere safe working at the Green Leaf Organization. But why do I have this uneasy feeling?

Meanwhile,

The Dark League Organization has succeeded in getting some clues about their important target's family.

So far several unsuccessful assassination attempts against Vincent Carey left them helpless. But the Dark League can't drop the mission. Which is not only against their founding rules but would affect the interest of their sponsors.

Their sponsors vary from several medium-sized to large organizations. Most of them are from the White Faction. The appearance of Vincent Carey is going to further cement the place of Yellow River Academy in the coming decades.

Which some forces don't want to see. They have already succeeded in killing several wizard seeds of the 3 big academies.

But Vincent Carey is the one who is making everyone helpless. Vincent Carey is like a slippery fish who gets away in every dire situation.

For them to be successful. The dark league wanted to come up with an inseparable net to trap Vincent Carey. This can be done by luring Vincent's family into their trap.

So the dark league and other intel organizations are after Vincent's family's whereabouts. Even today their home town Red City is visited by several tourists.

Especially when Vincent's name became popular and became a hot topic. People then started pouring into the Red City.

The situation became even more serious. When the news of Vincent Carey escaping from successive attacks was reported in the news.

Especially the news of Vincent Carey escaping from a level-7 wizard shook the Red City. For them, the level-5 wizard is the ceiling.

Residents don't know the concept of level-6 and level-7 wizards. So the name of Vincent Carey became even more popular.

Among the visitors, there are people from intel organizations who are looking for Vincent's parents. Some of these organizations have a feeling that Vincent's family might return to the city.

If such a thing happens, they can capture the whole family in one go.
