( From MC Perspective )
Vincent’s Residence – Red City,
I retracted my view from the status panel. Since I know the overall view of my ability, it will help me to think and plan better. Then I put back the bronze bracelet in my storage bracelet.
Fortunately, I didn’t open my mouth this morning. Otherwise Fatty Lucas would have demanded some piece from me.
Just as I was recalling the events,
My communication watch lit up with notification. When I heard that, I looked at the display. It’s a call from an unknown number. Knowing that I attended the call with some hesitation.
“Hello, I’m Vincent speaking.” I said.
“Rookie, Listen up. Captain Tyler is gravely injured and he is under critical condition. So you don’t have to come here for work anymore.” Said the voice from the other end.
For a moment, I stood like a frozen statue.
Because this voice is not new to me, it’s Vice Captain Alan’s voice. I composed myself and asked back, “What happened? Why am I not allowed to work.”
Here I thought everything was going smoothly. Now I’m facing a new set back here. Especially, I remember Alan giving me a headache on the first day itself. Now he is refusing me to go back to work.
What kind of abacus is he playing?
Vice Captain Alan feels Vincent’s answers were kind of rude and arrogant. He snorted back and replied, “I don’t need to explain it to a part timer like you. Just remember, You are fired.”
“Scum !” I roared.
“What do you say?” Vice Captain Alan asked back.
But I ended the call right away. Who will continue to listen to this moron? I can’t imagine getting orders from him anyway.
It’s a pity my new source of income is flattened even before it’s started to work.
“Tck!” I twitched, it must be the work of this guy.
Captain Tyler is injured. There is no one to lead the team now other than him. Now he is using this opportunity to push me out.
I held my chin up and wondered, Captain Tyler is injured. He didn’t even explain what happened in their mission. Besides, I’m the one who caught the old rogue from Poison Dagger, not them.
Well, I have to admit that I’m not a big shot, just an ordinary wizard student. Making my brain overwork for this useless matter gives me intense pain.
Now I can focus my entire attention on my school. It’s also the best for me. When it comes to Part time work, let’s see what happens in the future. Only Captain Tyler can do someone on this issue.
After gaining some clarity, I decided to meditate until dinner time. The pitiful gravity Mana in the surroundings it’s really giving me a headache.
I can only endure for the time being. Once I get into the academy, I hope everything changes.
Then I sat cross legged on the meditation mat on the ground. I recited gravity ark method to absorb mana from the surroundings.
…
Police Headquarter,
“Damn it, what a arrogant kid.” Vice Captain Alan is pissed off completely when he finds out Vincent cut the call all of a sudden.
Right now he is sitting in the waiting area of the clinic along with his team mate.
Members were surprised to see his surprised expression.
“Vice Captain, What happened?” Ms. Lottie finds something amiss so she takes this opportunity to inquire about some details.
“Hmmm” Vice Captain Alan realizes that he is among his team members.
“I told Vincent to not come back here anymore.” He said with disappointment. His voice also had a hint of anger.
Everyone does not expect this one. Vincent, a new rookie, joined their team a few days ago. Why would Mr. Alan say something like this?
At this time, Jimmy Herman asked innocently, “You fired him!”
Vice Captain Alan’s mood is already sullen. Now his team mate is making him more angry. Mr. Alan looks at Jimmy with piercing eyes.
Seeing that something was not right. Jimmy turned his head away. He knows if he continues Mr. Alan will scold him.
Ms. Lottie is puzzled by the Vice Captain’s action.
“Vice Captain, Why do you fire him? He just joined now.” Ms. Lottie questions directly. She doesn’t want any more mishap to happen. They had already suffered enough from this crazy mission.
Vice Captain Alan knows he needs to give some exploration. Otherwise it will create a bad impression of him.
“Ahem, at this point of time we don’t even know what will happen to our team. So it’s not good to involve the kid in this Whirlpool.” Mr. Alan said what was in his heart.
Everyone was enlightened by his explanation. They also know Vincent is a wizard student. So it’s best for him to focus on school work.
Ms. Lottie nodded her head. Jimmy and Pam are also supportive of this decision. Matters involving level-4 wizards are not something they can handle, let alone this school kid.
Ms. Lottie asked, “So rookie’s matter is solved, Then what about us. Did the department head say something about our team? ”
Vice Captain Alan shook his head in denial and replied, “As I said before, We discussed the condition of Captain Tyler. The head told us that he will arrange a new team in a few days.”
After saying that he remembers something added further, “It’s going to a level 5 team.”
“How easy is it to arrange Level 5 Wizards for a mission?” Ms. Lottie said to herself in a sarcastic tone.
Jimmy Herman and Pam continue to remain in silence. They know only Lottie can talk back to their Vice Captain. Because, She is a wind elemental Wizard. Second best on the team right now.
Him and Pam can only play supportive roles in the team, so they know their place.
Feeling the mood of everyone, Vice Captain Alan commented, “We can only wait for Captain Tyler to turn back to normal. In the meantime, we can do some level-3 missions.”
Ms. Lottie retracted her thoughts and replied, “Okay!” She sounded a little bit enthusiastic. At Least they can’t waste their time by worrying all day.
Jimmy and Pam don’t have to say they agreed together.
Vice Captain Alan smiled by seeing everyone’s mood turned better.
Then he turned around and looked towards Captain Tyler whose complexion was getting worse by the second.
He didn’t neglect some important things from his team. Such as how worse is Captain Tyler’s condition? He only told them that their head will take care of everything.
Shaking his head, he decided to focus on the next thing they can do as a team.
The Following Day,
Little Star Gate High School,
“Where is this guy?” I mumbled, it’s been some time since I came here at the entrance. But there is no sign of Fatty Lucas so far.
I looked at the time, there is still one hour left for school’s opening.
Other than one or two silhouettes, there is no one around here.
Looks like I came a little too early this time. After realizing, I walk towards the waiting area to sit down.
Today is going to great day,
I feel like this is the first day of my class after awakening my magic power. Past few weeks have been like a bad dream. While I’m immersed in my World. The other hand, Time went on.
Students, staff and teachers started to come in one by one to the school. 𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗹．𝐨𝗿𝗴
Soon, half a minute later.
Lucas Brad stepped inside and hurried towards the waiting area. He already knew from Vincent’s call that he was waiting for him in that area.
In a few breaths, he reached the area.
Upon seeing Vincent, Lucas slows down his speed and walks towards him.
“Hey, Vincent. Look What I got you here.” Lucas takes out some fruits to eat, and he hands one over to Vincent.
I nodded and grabbed the fruit from his hand and took a small bite of it.
The juicy liquid instantly gives some energy to the body. For a moment, I don’t know whether it’s an illusion or not.
But anyway it’s really refreshing.
“Vincent, How is it?” Lucas Brad asked with sparkling eyes.
I give him thumbs up in response.
But actually this fruit is nothing in comparison to one in my storage bracelet.
After consuming the whole fruit, we head towards the A Rank building.
Coincidentally, we came across a known person. She is the oldest Mage in our school, Mery Jade.
Seeing two silhouettes walking towards her, Meryl Jade raised her head to see.
Suddenly, a quick glint flashes in her old eyes.
She is a healizing wizard, she has a peculiar sense of ability to feel the vitality of a person near to her.
This time she has a slight impression of this kid before her.
“Vincent Carey, some time ago this kid came to see me in the clinic” she thought to herself.
At that time she remembers, she found no reaction from this kid. But now his vitality is a lot stronger compared to other newly awakened wizards.
But this happened for a moment. Next second, she didn’t continue to analyse rather she walked towards her clinic.
“Hmmm” I watched the disappearing back of an old lady in our school.
What’s with her gaze? She took a long glance at me before walking back towards the clinic.
Shaking my head, we continued walking towards the A Rank building along with other students.
