From MC's perspective:
My assumption turned right. My current talent is not enough. But anyway, my main objective was to achieve a breakthrough.
Now that I have passed the hurdle. I can think about other things later. After closing the status panel, I looked at the stone tablet in front of me.
The stone tablet was key to entering the ground.
I put the gravity mana into the stone tablet.
Swish~
The next second, I found myself standing in the research facility. The stone tablet was floating in the air.
I touched the stone tablet and tried to place it inside the system space. The stone tablet disappeared from the spot.
Seeing that I sighed inwardly. Because it saves me a lot of trouble. Next time, I can come here directly and enter the special place by using the Stone Tablet.
Now that my mission was accomplished. It's time to return to the academy. When this thought occurs. I relaxed.
Then I looked around. My attributes have been strong. I can sense that no one was inside the tacitly. Then I found the exit and walked out of the Research Facility.
At the gate, a few low-level wizards are guarding. Without alerting them, I appeared in mid-air and rushed out to the nearest big city.
Flying in mid-air, I couldn't help but think about the recent events. I don't know what happened to the 8th-order monster.
After breaking through level 6, I didn't feel that great. Because the memories are crystal clear. I saw how the level-7 wizards are helpless in front of the 8th-order monster.
So even if I'm at level 6, I can't get rid of the feeling of being weak. There is still a long way to go before becoming a truly strong wizard.
Time flies,
After flying across the barren land, I finally saw a city lit up with lights. The sky was dark. Yet the illuminating lights make the city bright. I don't plan on entering the city directly.
I landed on the ground half a mile before it. There is a long road stretched towards the city. Apart from the government vehicles and personnel, no one is allowed to fly in the air.
The situation is the same here. Fortunately, there were dense trees on both sides of the road. I can hide whenever I want.
Then I started to look for a vehicle to hop in. When I got closer to the road. I saw all kinds of vehicles speeding towards the city including the monster carriages.
The sight was so unique. My gaze then turned towards the broken-down vehicles. I saw a few vehicles parked on the side of the road.
They are dealing with some kind of issue. The language here is pretty much the same. There is a communication problem. So I walked out of the bushes and started approaching one of the vehicles.
A heavily built four-wheeler was in front of me. Before I could get close. I saw an old man step out of the vehicle before confronting me.
"Who are you?" The old man asked.
But my gaze fell on the old man's colorful costume. It's a contrast to the simple and plain government uniform.
The old man appears to be over 50. His magic level is low. Only at level 3. So he didn't pose any threat to me.
"Ahem!"
"Mister, I came to lend you a hand," I replied with a smile.
The old man was stunned before looking at his run-down vehicle. The four-wheeler was with him for almost 10 years.
So far he hasn't had any problems. The reason he was stranded here was because of a lack of comet stones.
"Young man, are you from the national academy?" The old man asked.
National Academy uh? Then I thought of the Meteor Academy. The citizens living here highly respect the Meteor Academy.
But it's a pity they don't know the real faces of those wizards. The level-8 wizard sacrificed the level-7 wizard for his selfish interest.
Similarly, the level-7 wizards are responsible for the level-6 wizards death.
"Mister, it's inconvenient to tell. Can you tell me what's wrong with the vehicle?" I asked.
The old man was surprised again. Then he thought the National Academy students were extremely rich.
It's impossible to see someone like them here. The old man has realized he made a mistake. He immediately said, "I ran out of the meteor stone. If there is a low-grade comet stone, I can charge my vehicle battery."
Hearing that my eyes flickered. I heard that comet or meteor stones are other names of the mana stones here.
It's just that because of their special landscape, the mana are here as the properties of the Meteor.
No wonder their technologies use the properties of the Meteor. Then I remember collecting the number of storage bracelets from the Meteor Students.
I just turned around to leave. When no one is paying attention. I disappeared into the woods.
"Where is he?" the old man was confused. He just met a random teenager out of nowhere. But before he could get some help. The person was gone.
"Alas!"
"Looks like I'm going to spend the night here."
"The authorities would rip me off for sure," The old man said to himself.
On the other hand, I appeared in the Gregor Mansion to get the comet stones. After transferring some stones to a storage bracelet of mine.
Swish~
I appeared outside. I deliberately picked a low-grade comet stone and held it in my hand. If I offered a high-grade stone out of nowhere, it would raise alarms.
Then I walked towards the old man's vehicle. The old man recognized the teenager immediately.
"Kid, what do you want?"
"I don't see you looking for other vehicles," The old man asked in a questioning tone.
Knowing his suspicion, I started to speak.
"I'm here to look for my lost relatives. So I'm new to the city. So I thought I could make some connections before entering the city," I lied to him.
The old man's brain was not that active. He simply believed the words. But he knows the recent situation is not right in the city.
