(From MC Perspective)
For the next few days, I continue to attend class without taking any leave. I don't know whether it's good or bad that my new classmates somehow distanced themselves from me. It is not they are showing some kind of discrimination. Instead I saw fear in their eyes.
They feel that I might get offended by them. Thinking that I smirked. Tomorrow, I will have to visit the City police station for an interview. Right now, I'm in the middle of a break. Fatty Lucas kept his promise, he treated me with Mana meat yesterday. And even now this guy has plenty of snacks to eat. These snacks are again products of mana nutrition food. This even amazed me more.
I picked a few snacks and began to chew. "This taste is a little bit salty." I mumbled.
Fatty Lucas squinted his eyes when he saw Vincent eat snacks without his permission. If it were others he would have scolded that mot**f***r. But he can't put any air in front of Vincent. Thinking about those fictional movies, Fatty thinks it's lucky to have a gravity mage as his best friend. So, he can't ignore small things.
After confronting himself, fatty put a handful of snacks into his mouth. Suddenly, he thought about something and commented, "Vincent, Don't you feel strange. It's been several days. But we didn't see that poisonous women's group looking for revenge." He wipes out his drool on his mouth while saying that.
Hearing fatty's answer, I came to realize that I even forgot the topic. These days my eyes have always been set on Palmer. After several days of observation, I found out some interesting things about him. The personality that he is showing around the school is entirely pretense. He reveals his true self only after school.
Surprisingly this guy didn't pester me after that combat session. Now when it comes to Class A, it is really strange. Looking at him I answered, "It's not only that poisonous women's group. I haven't seen anyone from Class A1 these days."
"How could it be?" Fatty Lucas said.
"They went on a trip or what?" He added with an envious tone.
"It is possible," I replied.
But thinking about possible revenge from that women's group. I feel it's good to be prepared in advance. I need to find out the situation of Class A1. Should I ask Ma. Rivers? Considering her personality, she will definitely answer me. But a certain person's image comes to mind.
For this small thing I don't need to trouble Ms. Rivers. Since we are in the middle of break, I asked my fellow classmate to call Timothy. This Timothy has a cautious personality. On that day he antagonized me or that poisonous woman either.
Soon, Timothy came to us with some hesitation. "Timothy, Do you know any news about Class A1?" I asked straightforwardly.
Timothy was stunned hearing that. When his classmate told him that Vincent wanted to see him. He was quite scared. He thought it's about revenge, and Vincent already taught Palmer a lesson. And he is the one who is unscathed. So he came with some hesitation. But now hearing his question he felt strange. But soon he understands, they actually have qualifications to get into Class A1. So, it's not surprising that they are interested in Class A1 matters.
He immediately answered, "I heard that they were sent for a monster hunting trip."
"Monster hunting trip uh?" My expression condensed. No wonder there is no wind of Class A1 people so far. I feel this must be some kind of privilege.
At this time, Fatty Lucas asked eagerly, "When is our time for a Monster Hunting trip?" Lucas is quite excited about the monster hunting trip. Usually, only adults are involved in this kind of stuff. He only saw news and fiction about Monster hunting groups. So right now he is looking forward to this kind of trip, it will be one kind of experience.
Hearing Fatty's question, I knew this guy was thinking about monster meat in his mind. Then I looked at Timothy for an answer.
Perceiving my gaze, Timothy answered in disappointment," No, This is Special Privilege only allowed for Class A1. Mages in Class A1, all of them have bright figures ahead. So our class concentrates more resources on them compared to us."
His answer only confirmed my guess, Special Privilege? Why do I feel school is neglecting me and fatty? If it's fatty I could guess something. But why am I in Class A2? Is it really impossible to add one more person in Class A1. Earlier, I didn't dwell on this matter because my mood is good because of my system and earth grade mental method. But right now, I feel we are missing out on some good things.
What to do? Should I ask the headmaster? But my gut feeling tells me that it is not a good idea. Then what about Class teacher Dave Wise? Shaking my head, I thought it's not good to ask Dave Wise. Authority of A Rank division is higher than B Rank. So it's impossible for him to be involved in this matter.
Looks like I need to think about it slowly. Sighing, I asked Timothy to go back..
"Vincent, is it really unfair?" Fatty sounded dejected.
"Leave it for a while, I believe in a few months some seniors will graduate from Class A1. Then will be our chance to class A1." I told him while talking on his shoulder.
Fatty relaxed after hearing that. Then we went back to our seats for the next class.
Time processed,
After the end of the school, I didn't go with fatty food. Rather I have some tasks to fill. Yup, I have yet to move some meteorite rocks into his lab. My fate changed because of those rocks. Thinking about that smile blossomed on my face. Unlike last time, my body is a lot stronger this time.
A few minutes later, I reached Mr. Mathews' cabin. I informed him about my arrival after pressing the call button installed in his cabin's front door.
"Creak"
The door opens, "Kid, You came. I thought you forgot about the work." Teacher Mathew said in an annoying tone.
I smiled wryly hearing his words. He actually told me a few days back. But I have been busy with other work. I only have time now.
Seeing that Vincent didn't say anything, Mr. Mathew said, "Before going home, Move those remaining meteorite rocks back into the new lab room." After saying that he gestured to him to leave. He has a lot of work to do. These piled up research papers on his desk were giving him quite a headache.
I left his cabin after getting instructions. I sighed, wondering why doesn't he ask someone else to move these rocks. There were several power mages in our school. Maybe he feels I'm disrespecting him. So, he wants to make sure that I have completed the task entirely.
After a few walks, I came to the old lab room where the meteorite rocks had been placed. Seeing that immediately walk towards it. When I placed both of my hands on it lift.
[Ding! Level-Up System]
[Ding! Gravity Mana is detected]
[Ding! Require Host's permission to absorb]
[Ding! Absorb- YES/NO]
I was stunned seeing the pop up screen in front of my eye. What is this new method? My eyes gleam with surprise. I thought only treasures and gems can be absorbed. But it looks, any source of power can be absorbed.
I said, "Yes"
I recite a mental method and I begin to absorb high concentrated gravity mana. As the energy courses through my vein, I feel my body being energized continuously. This rich mana is several times higher than concentrated mana chamber. Maybe because this is a gravity source. Eventually, I can feel high rich energy being poured into my core in the end.
Ten minutes later, The gravity mana dried out completely from the rock. With that, I continue to extend my hands on other meteorite rocks. Slowly, I begin to drain the mana from the source. But this is going to be troublesome. It actually takes ten minutes to complete one source. It will take a lot of time to absorb gravity mana from remaining rocks.
I know there are a lot of meteoric rocks placed in the new room. I need at least half a day to complete the absorption. What to do? It's hard to say whether Professor Mathew will allow me next time or not. I need to find a way to get in next time. I don't want to miss out on such a pure gravity source. After gaining some clarity, I plan to complete the absorption in this room.
Time progressed, Professor Mathew began to notice Vincent yet to arrive here. With a frowning face he checks time, it's been 45 minutes since he came here. He pondered, and suddenly he thought about something. Before awakening Vincent had a fragile physique. So after awakening it will take some time to strengthen the physique. And he also didn't notice Vincent's aura earlier.
