Chapter 892: Part 2: Dark Lord's plans
From MC's Perspective:
Which means he had watched the whole duel. Looking at his happy expression. I guess he must be happy with the result today.
The other hand, the old man dean was obviously happy. Which can be seen from his bright face. But the old man also saw that Vincent's expression was not good.
"Vincent, what happened?"
"Is there anything bothering you?"" He asked.
The whole academy is happy because of the 1st stage result. Vincent's duel was one of the most eye -catching and he had won it with ease.
But why isn't he happy at all?
The other hand, I decided to tell him.
"Dean, I don't know why but I've been feeling ominous since this morning. It's getting worse as the time passes," I replied to him.
"What?" The old man uttered. But he didn't talk further. Because he saw Vincent's expression. Which was serious. He is not bluffing to him.
The old man remained silent. Both of them didn't talk for a few minutes.
"Are you serious?" the old man asked after a long silence.
Hearing that I nodded my head at him and answered,"The feeling was stronger than before when I was stuck at the Adamont Canyon."
Boom!
The old man dean slightly released his mana pressure in his office. The force swept away tables, chairs and other things in his room.
For a second he lost control of himself. Which was seen by me in the projection as well.
"Dean!" I called him out. I hope I'm not worrying him by saying these things. But it's true that I can't get away from this feeling.
The old man then returned to his usual self.
He then said,"Vincent, sometimes these feelings may be wrong. You are just under pressure. But you don't know how to explain it."
"So don't think too much about competition. Both you and Mike are favorites to win the final prize."
"Don't think too much. It's already past midnight you can go and sleep," The old man said.
"Thanks for your words Dean," I replied before ending the call. But in my heart, I know I'm not under pressure.
For the outside world, I'm a level-5 wizard. But in reality, I'm a level-6 wizard. When the competition was announced. I knew I would be the winner. There was no pressure at all.
Who can stand against level-6 spells? So this crisis which I'm feeling it's not about the Wizard Heart Competition.
It must be something else. I'm not afraid of any danger. In case of emergency, I can hide in the Gregor Mansion.
But I don't like the feeling of the unknown. I have always preferred to know things before anyone else.
So this feeling is really frustrating me.
Then I laid down on my bed and closed my eyes to sleep.
Dean Majestic Tower:
The old man dean ended the call. Although he said those words to Vincent, in reality he believes Vincent's words in his heart.
"Is there anyone targeting the kid again?" The old man said in his heart.
At first, he was calm. But when Vincent said that he was feeling greater threat than during the Adamont Canyon. That moment, It opened his eyes.
"The Dark League has caused damage to us in that Adamont Canyon incident. On top of it, only we know that their target was Vincent."
"I won't be surprised. If they want to target Vincent again during this competition," He said in his heart.
But he knows unlike the Adamont Canyon, the situation here is completely different. The Adamont Canyon was located in the barren region. Faraway from any powerful city.
Initially, no high ranking wizards went there to support. The following chain of events had made all the 3 academies send the support team.
So the Dark League had used those opportunities to kill several wizards.
But the Wizard Heart Competition is happening inside the Capitol. This place is highly protected. No unknown people can enter the Capital during the normal days.
Right now, such a major event is happening. The security is even more tightened. He doesn't think that the dark league is stupid enough to cause problems.
In case something happens, the nearby high ranking wizards can handle the situation. Not only that, the Vice-deans of all the 3 academies are present in the Capital City at this moment.
They will sense if there is any intruder trying to cast a powerful magic spell. Then the word's of Vincent again echoes in his mind.
"Ominous feeling than Adamant Canyon one," He grunted.
The level-8 wizards are the highest level wizards who participated in the Adamont Canyon battle. But if Vincent is sensing a greater crisis now, don't tell me there is something I'm missing right now.
"No, I can't solve this alone. I should inform the crippled old man. Maybe he can see something which I'm missing," He said to himself.
Then he stood up from the seat and requested permission to enter the Sub-Taboo Sub Space.
Meanwhile,
The dark lord old man is roaming the place near B Block. The rooms of the Royal Force Hall Wizards are here.
When the old man is walking on the floor. He saw a few level-5 wizard students talking and laughing. They are enjoying the view from the balcony.
Seeing that the old man started walking towards them.
Those level-5 wizards didn't pay any attention. When the old got close to them. Everyone felt his presence and looked at him.
"Who are you?"
"What are you doing at this time?" A female wizard asked.
The wizard students nearby her absorbed the old man.
Looking at the extreme old look and shabby clothes. One of them said,"He must be cleaner. I didn't expect them to employ someone this old to clean the floors."
Hearing that others agreed to him. The female wizard eases her expression.
The dark lord was surprised. He was looking for an excuse. He didn't expect someone to point him out.
"Sorry to disturb you!"
"I'm looking for Yellow River Academy Wizards," the old man said.
Hearing that the faces of them turned ugly.
