Chapter 898: Part 1: Bad encounter
From MC's Perspective:
When the 5 minutes was over. The announcer came to the platform to announce the next duel. The big screen hovering above the duel platform shows the name.
Buckley vs Mike Curtis
When it was displayed on the screen. The crowd let out roaring cheers. At this point of time, there is no need to look at the profile information.
As everyone is familiar with the name. They started chanting the names of the wizards. The noise of Yellow River Academy Wizards' supporters are higher.
Because Mike Curtis's shadow magic is still vivid in everyone's mind. So the name of Mike Curtis sounded higher than Buckley's name.
Inside the A Block Gallery Room:
Mike Curtis stood up with a smile on his face. The opponent was not weak. But he has the confidence to defeat him.
"I'll be back in 5 minutes," Mike Curtis said to me before walking away from the place.
The council elders and others don't need to give any advice to Mike Curtis.
When he was gone. The wizard students and others looked towards the duel platform.
"Vincent!"
The next second, a loud voice jolted awoke me.
Not only me, others were also stunned as well. The council elders and the wizard students turned towards the entrance.
When I followed their gaze. Then I saw the voice coming from Elder Galvin.
"Elder Galvin," I said in my heart.
"Galvin, you are here," the council elder said.
Earlier, they had informed him during Vincent's absence. Now that he is back. There is a certain awkwardness among them.
Galvin's expression was serious. He looked at everyone before his gaze set on Vincent Carey.
"Vincent, you come with me," He said.
The other hand, I walked out after hearing his voice. Looking at his tensed expression, I couldn't help but look at those council elders.
Feeling my gaze, these people averted their gazes. Seeing that my mouth twitched. These people made a fuss out of nothing.
SIGH!
When I'm signing. I heard a small chuckle from near. The person is none other than Stella Glover.
"This girl," I said in my heart.
Stella Glover's face was full of smiles. I can understand that she and others think that I have overslept.
But only I knew the horror I have gone through. Then under the gaze of everyone, I walked towards Elder Galvin.
"Let's go, I have something to discuss with you," Galvin said.
Then we left the room to discuss privately.
Duel Platform:
Read the latest only on m-v,L-em|p,yr
Mike and Buckley stood opposite each other. The invisible barrier starts to cover up the platform.
Buckley's eyes flashes with worry. He has seen the previous duel of Mike Curtis. So from time to time, his eyes look at the ground.
He doesn't want the shadow to attack him during the duel.
When the barrier covered up completely. The duel has started.
Boom!
A 2 ice blue cold daggers Materialized in the mid air. With that dual dagger appearance, the ice elemental magic starts to freeze the platform beneath him.
The other hand, Mike Curtis revealed a sly smile on his face before his body disappeared.
Gasp!
Seeing that crowd sucked a cold breath of air. It gives them a familiar feeling. Now any time, Buckley's body can be pierced by the shadows.
Boom!
The cold freezing ice cover starts to expand inside the platform.
Buckley is trying to find the shadows on the ground.
All of a sudden, a dark spike appeared before him. He hurriedly used the dual daggers to cut off the shadow spike.
When the ice dagger blade comes in contact with the shadow. The Shadow Spike disappeared like smoke.
"False attack," A quick gleam flashes in Buckley's eyes.
When he decides to turn around. He felt tingling pain in his neck.
Boom!
A black spike shot from the ground at him. Seeing that he used the ice element to block.
Swoosh!
The ice spikes collide with the shadow spikes. The next second, the shadow spikes disappear like smoke. The other hand, the ice element spikes hit the empty platform.
Seeing that, Buckley realized that it was the false attack again. When he tries to leap backwards. He felt something tied up both of his legs.
Smash!
The next second, his body was dragged by something at fast speed. Before he could take a careful look at it. He was smashed into the ground.
Meanwhile,
Elder Galvin and I retired to my room. Elder Galvin didn't talk as he started to inspect the room. He is checking every nook and corner of the room for any magical traces.
After a few minutes, he returned to the living room.
"Now, tell me. Did you really oversleep or something else is going on?" Galvin asked.
Hearing that I didn't show any big change in expression.
"Elder, I overslept today. Otherwise, this confusion wouldn't have happened," I replied.
I know it might seem unbelievable to everyone. But the door was locked from inside. So I can only come up with the solution.
Galvin let out a sigh inwardly. He thinks this was not this simple. But the room was indeed locked from inside. Which explains Vincent's absence as well.
He raised his head and directly looked into Vincent's eyes. Seeing that there was no doubt or hesitation in Vincent's eyes.
He has decided to drop this matter.
Then he thought of something before saying,"On the way here, I have learnt that you have got the free pass for the next stage. Which means you don't have to sit inside the gallery room all day."
Hearing that I nodded at him.
Outside,
There is another group of people approaching the 15th room. They are none other than the killers of the Shadow Skull Organisation.
After knowing that their target has got the free pass, they have speculated that the target may be staying inside the room.
So they have come to check whether the target is staying inside or not. If the target is actually staying inside the room, then they can get a good opportunity to kill the target Vincent Carey.
At this moment, a total of 6 silhouette approaching the 15th room. All of them are level-8 dark wizards.
Since the administration staff fled from the place after meeting the crippled old man earlier. No one was there at this moment to monitor the lobby.
The Shadow Skull Killers found out about the absence of the staff behind the desk. So using the opportunity, they walked into the building. And now they are close to the target's room.
Inside the room,
Galvin is talking to Vincent. From their conversation, he can tell that Vincent's is hiding something. But he doesn't know what is it?
"Vinceng, if you have any trouble. You can tell me directly," He said.
The other hand, I cursed out loud in my heart. I thought about hiding my subtle emotions. But it was seen through by the Elder.
It's just that I don't want to stay inside the room for too long. The identity of the weak looking old man was not clear yet.
Who knows he can come back at any moment. I wrinkled my eyebrows thinking about it.
"What happened?" Galvin asked again.
Seeing that Vincent was lost in these thoughts.
"What is he hiding?" He asked himself in his heart.
Knock!
Before he could ask further. There was a loud knocking on the door.
Hearing that I jolted awake. I stood up and looked towards the door.
"Is that old man?"
"Was he back?" a hint of apprehension appeared in my eyes. My expression turned solemn. I wasn't able to control my expression after hearing the knocking sound.
"What's wrong?" Galvin also stood up. He saw Vincent's expression change drastically after hearing the sound.
"What's with his expression?" Looking at Vincent, he muttered to himself. It's just like he has seen fear in Vincent's eyes for the first time.
Knock!
The knocking sounded again. This time it was loud and continuous..
Galvin then turned towards the door.
"Does it have anything to do with his hidden matter?" Galvin thought to himself.
He thinks that Vincent's hiding information from him might be related to the person knocking the door.
Outside,
The 6 silhouettes are standing in front of the door. They are waiting for the target to open the door and then kill him.
The other hand, Galvin decides to open the door.
He then slowly moved forward to open the door.
Seeing that my heart beat races faster.
"Elder?" I shouted out loud.
Hearing that Galvin paused his footsteps. Don't know why his expression also turned serious.
He then turned around and looked at Vincent.
He asked,"What?"
"Do you care to tell me now?" He added.
Hearing that I hesitated. I don't even know the identity of the old man. Then how can I explain to him.
Seeing that Vincent was not responding.
A hint of anger appeared in Galvin's eyes.
Knock!
When the knocking sound was heard again. Galvin went to open the door.
The other hand, I almost cursed out loud at him.
