Chapter 160 Part 1: Wilderness (The City Of Venen)
Chairman Benjamin made the decision to name Chester Nixon as the next headmaster. But first, he intends to meet him in person.
He discussed the decision with his assistant. In a few days, his assistant will set up the meeting. He was relieved that his two difficulties had been resolved.
Days passed,
Vincent Carey spends the majority of his time practicing gravity mental methods. Before stepping out into the wilderness, he intends to raise his mana power as much as possible.
Some of his classmates want to test his strength. However, they can only put it to the test in combat class. So everyone is looking forward to the Monday following the weekend. They can only wait patiently because there is no combat class in between.
Liam and his friends were observing Vincent's activities in silence. But none of them took any action against Vincent. While Liam waits for the next good opportunity, his buddies have no choice but to listen to him.

Alternatively,
Tyler Dixon's body was taken care of by officers at police headquarters. The ashes were also sealed and preserved. Alan Pitts did not fight back after witnessing all of this. He had already decided to resign from his position.
Everything was peaceful at police headquarters as the day progressed. There were no longer any reporters. Everyone went back to their usual routine.
Alan Pitts was finally able to meet with Billy, the department head. After discussing his intentions to leave the force, the wizard Billy did not stop him and accepted his resignation letter.
Jimmy, Lottie, and Pam are taken aback by their Vice Captain's abrupt resignation.
Alan Pitts did not conceal anything. He promised to return once he had made a breakthrough. Alan Pitts' efforts, whether deliberately or unknowingly, revived fighting spirits in their hearts.
Three of them, like Alan, decided to enhance their strength. Unlike Alan, they must perform their duties here. Because Alan has resigned, the selection of a new captain and vice-captain will take some time.
Until then, the trio will have plenty of time to train.
During this time, Ms. Eva from the battle hall department agreed to question Leon Willy.
However, the interrogation cannot take place straight away. The rogue's identity is kept private.
As a result, a questioning in front of at least two department heads was decided upon.
That means there will be two level-5 wizards present on the day of interrogation. It will take them a few days to finalize the timetable for the interrogation day.

(From MC's Perspective)
Weekend,
The City of Venen,
I walked to the nearby restaurant for breakfast after exiting the air car. I watched local shops, streets, and passersby while strolling. Most significantly, they are adventurers.
This quaint city reminds me of my last visit here. That day, it took a lot of effort, calculation, and acting to get rid of that jerk (Jake House).
My stomach suddenly began to rumble.
After hearing the sound, I hastened my speed. Before leaving the house, I lied to my parents once again about my visit. I informed them that I was heading to a friend's place. I would have eaten breakfast at home otherwise.
It will take some time to register before heading out into the wilderness. As a result, I don't want to squander time at home.
Then I arrived at the modest restaurant. I went inside and got a plain steak to eat.
This food was plenty to sustain me in the wilderness, as I was only going to stroll around the periphery.
I left the restaurant a few minutes later.
The adventurer's union is my next stop. The adventurer union is the umbrella body for various guilds. However, the adventurers' union in this city is a small branch.
According to the press and other sources, adventurers' unions exist in numerous nations. It is linked together like a spider web. It's not like other organizations.
They can compete with the food industry in terms of wealth. They can compete with other wizard groups and families when it comes to wizard power houses.
Unlike other organizations' recruitment policies, anyone can join an adventurer union and become a hunter. However, if you want to be a core member of an organization, you can only advance through the ranks by merit.
Some people stay just to make money. While others with exceptional talent have joined the organization's core.
Several ideas spring to mind. The adventurer union, however, cannot compete with the other organizations in wizardry knowledge.
Each group has its own set of spells and mental methods. Most of them had been handed down by families for generations, and some were maintained as inheritances.
So, if one wishes to follow in the footsteps of a wizard, they must first find a good and proper organization.
? My eyes have a faint sparkle.
I chose Yellow River Academy primarily for their gravity mental method and spells. So, while I dislike the adventurer union, that doesn't rule out the possibility of establishing a party or joining a guild. When I reach level 2, I will think about it.
Then, I went towards the adventurers' union, which is a short walk from here.
I soon found myself in front of a massive towering tower. As I gaze at the apex of the tower penetrating high above the clouds, a strange glitter flashes in my eyes.
"The tower appears grand compared to photographs and videos floating around online," I muttered.
Then I noticed the Tower's sign, which said "ADVENTURER UNION" in Gothic style.
I then proceeded to the registration desk. I stumbled across a gorgeous dolled-up figure at the main office.
"Do you require anything?" she inquired.
"I'm here to get a hunting license," I explained.
The lady nodded and took me to the registration area, where another woman was seated behind her desk.
She walked away after introducing me. Before beginning the registration process, the woman at the counter looked at me.
For registration, I used my school ID. She didn't raise an eyebrow. I'm guessing that school students come here rather often.
My school even conducts a monster hunt here.
"Would you like to be ranked?" After I registered my name, the woman behind the counter asked.
Several ideas spring to mind. I was aware that there were badges representing qualified hunters. However, it is only useful to people who join adventurer guilds. I had no intention of doing so.
As a result, I just said, "No."
The women stopped asking inquiries. She handed me a new silver-colored identification card, and I immediately recognized it as a hunter's license. Then she handed me the login information for their union's website.
I can reach their website using my communication watch. According to news and articles, their union website sells a variety of goods ranging from herbs and potions to artifacts and even spells.
I didn't know whether that was real or not at the moment. But I'll check after I finish my trip.
When she noticed me staring, she inquired, "Is there anything you need?"
When I heard that, I pulled back my thoughts and responded, "I need a map to go out."
The woman stared at me with a puzzled expression. I realized she had misunderstood me. "I'm just going to spend time exploring the area close to our city wall," I said.
The woman only stopped staring at me when she heard my words.
She handed me the wilderness map for free because I'm a beginner hunter.
I exited the facility after storing the map in my storage bracelet. The procedure went more easily than expected. They didn't even conduct a proper background check.
Perhaps they were aware of my school. As a result, they ignored it. If an unknown person came here to register, a separate procedure may be followed.
The air taxi landed a few minutes later on a nearby platform in front of the massive city wall. Many air taxis were dropping and picking up passengers. I observed this area of the city is more crowded than others.
I walked towards the gate after stepping out of the air taxi. For verification, I decided to utilize my school ID. The hunter's license will be used to sell my loot. In my mind, I had a smart plan.
I soon found myself in front of the gate. My school ID was scanned by the city guard. They let me go after they saw there was no problem.
Some people look at me with astonishment because I'm going out alone and not with a group.
Their stares are filled with disgust and disdain, but no malice or hatred. I didn't say anything in response. Because for other people, making money by hunting monsters is their entire career.
Because their abilities were limited, they abandoned the road of wizardry. They are pleased with their limited strength as wizards, despite the fact that they cannot advance. Because their lives are far superior to those of ordinary humans.
As a result, I ignored their advice. After walking outside, I saw a vast landscape spread out before me. In full daylight, I can get a good look at my surroundings.
