Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 339 Special Class: Third Trial

(From MC's perspective)

"Phew," Feeling that pressure was gone, I sighed in relief. Fortunately, my attributes were higher than an average level-3 wizard. Which gave me enough time to perform well.

Then I slowly got up from the ground while others gasped for their breath. Mentor Lion's sudden actions stunned me. But I believe there must be a good reason behind this.

My gaze then shifted toward the remaining wizard. The level-4 wizards are doing better but seeing the sweat oozing from their forehead. I guess they are facing much more pressure now.

A quick glint flashes in my eyes. Apart from my above-average attribute. I believe there are changes in my physique due to a slight progression in the sacred gravity physique.

I don't know whether it played any role in resisting the pressure. But I have this vague feeling in my heart that once there is 100% awakening. Then my overall attributes would have drastic improvements.

But the snail speed progression tells me otherwise. At my current progression rate, the physique awakening would take a longer period. And I don't know how long?

Shaking my head, I put behind these thoughts and shifted my attention back to the scene.

Shortly after the level-4 wizards gave up one by one. And Lara White is the second person to give up. Which surprised many of the wizards present here.

"Lara?" I muttered to myself. She is stronger than I had expected. We have only differences, otherwise there is a comparison between us.

A couple of seconds later,

The small game of Mentor Lion came to an end as the last level-4 wizard stopped resisting.

Everyone then turned toward Mentor Lion. Even Maria quickly adjusted herself and got up from the ground.

When everyone is standing on their feet. Wizard Lion's gaze swept past everyone. Seeing that everyone's expression looked better. A hint of approval flashes in his eyes.

"Alright, this was just a small test. But sadly, everyone's performance is a bit average and I'm not impressed by it," He said in a cold tone.

Hearing that everyone's face was discolored. Even the faces of level-4 wizards were not looking better. None of them had expected a harsh reply from their mentor.

Wizard Lion didn't mind their expression. He continued to say further, "The third trial is going to be special. Unlike the previous two simulation battles, you are going to face the third trial in a real body."

Gasp!

The students exclaimed in surprise. What happened? This came out of nowhere. The outer house wizards are panicking. They can die in a simulation trial and nothing is going to happen in real life.

But the third trial is different. If they suffer any gruesome injury, then it would cost a fortune to recover completely. And in the worst case, they will die in the third trial.

For a while, some of the outer house wizards started to regret it. Before Mentor Lion's complete explanation about the third trial. Some of them started to imagine the worst-case scenario.

Apart from level-4 wizards, everyone else had a gloomy expression on their faces.

Meanwhile,

A hint of expectation rose in my heart. Before coming here, I was hoping to hear about the next trial. Fortunately, the Mentor Lion announcement came as a pleasant surprise.

Now I can take back my precious 1st position. My eyes flickered with a slight glint.

At the same time, Lara White's eyes flickered with fighting intent. The trial came at the right time. She already made up her mind to challenge Vincent.

And this trail gives her another opportunity to keep her rank.

Not only her, but other level-4 wizards' eyes also shone with bright light. For some reason the top 2 positions are held by Taboo and Sub-Taboo Hall members.

Which made other Halls lose their face. But right now, the third trial gives them a good opportunity to make their name.

Seeing the eager expression on everyone's faces. Wizard Lion nodded his head. He said, "In a few days, the third trial is going to happen in the magic forest of our academy. Like other trials, it is going to be a survival trial as well."

"If any of you wanted to leave, you can raise your hand right now," he added further.

Wizard Lion's words fell like a thunderclap in everyone's ears. But none of them dare to speak against the announcement.

Right after many wizards raise their hands to quit. The majority of them were the outer house wizards. They already imagined the worst-case scenario in their mind.

If they suffer any injury, it would take a long time to recover. Compared to it, they can easily sit out and practice quietly in their Hall. And it will be a matter of a few weeks before they break through.

All the seed Wizards present here were blessed with good magic talent. The special class is just an option. So they don't want to risk their lives. On top of it, the academy is yet to explain the motive for the special class.

Which also caused many doubts to arise. Wizard Lion didn't jump to a conclusion quickly. He gave everyone some time to decide.

5 minutes later,

More than half of the seed wizards held up their hands high. Seeing that, a hint of disappointment flashes in Wizard Lion's eyes. He feels glad that he asked for their opinion.

Otherwise, the causality rate will be higher. Now his eyes set on the rest of them. Right now, apart from the whole outer house wizards and a few of the inner house wizards.

The rest of the inner house wizards chose to participate in the trial. And the number is 20 which is pitifully low compared to the overall class strength of 50 students.

"Okay, from now onwards 20 of you will remain in a special class, and the rest of them can leave," Wizard Lion said in a cold tone.

Gasp!

Right after his words, a small commotion broke out.

Seeing that, he didn't give them any opportunity to speak and released his majestic pressure.

Pfff!

Some of the rude outer house wizards suffered injury from the pressure. Seeing that the dissatisfied voices quieted down all of sudden.

They have made their decision and now they have quit the class without making any noise.

Meanwhile,

Seeing the thunderous method of Mentor Lion, my eyes gleamed with a twinkle. One thing is clear, the academy wants to develop elite-class wizards.

And it is impossible to have weak-willed wizards around here. Anything can happen in a trial, even in the worst case wizards might die. But some of these wizards don't want to face such a challenge.

A lot of interest riding on them. Like family interests and others. Seeing everyone's decision, I sneered inside. If they want to develop in a short time, they have to take some risks.

But these people are not even ready for that. Many questions appeared in my heart. It has a lot to do with the academy's motive. What do they intend to do after developing the elite squad?

Looking at Mentor Lion's face, I don't think he will answer anytime soon. I can only raise my strength silently.

Meanwhile,

Wizard Lion waited for the wizards to leave. After a few minutes, only 20 of them remained. Seeing that he didn't want to waste any more time.

"Okay, the rest of you have made your decision. But don't worry, for the third trial there will be some rewards. I'll tell you the exact date of the trial tomorrow. So now you can leave," Wizard Lion said.

Hearing that, I raised my eyebrows in confusion. What's that all? I thought he would explain about the trials. Looks like he won't tell anything before the start of the trial.

But I'm not helpless, I can ask my senior sister about this. I'm sure she knows about the magic forest.

Then everyone walked out of the special class. After exiting the phone booth, I walked toward Sub-Taboo Hall.

After a couple of seconds of walking, I stopped my movements. Because I see a group of wizards recognize my identity.

And one of them blocked my way intentionally.

"Here we go," I mumbled under my breath. This is something I had expected previously. So far the hostile wizards didn't make any move against me. But this is the time.

And I wasn't surprised at all. Senior sister warned me right after the battle tower trials. Apart from the elemental hall, the bloodline hall is also looking for trouble.

So looking at these people's facial expressions and mana breath. I think five of them were inner house wizards from the bloodline hall.

After gaining some clarity, I decided to see what they were going to do. If I retreat now, it will set a bad example. And then people will start questioning the reputation of the Sub-Taboo Hall.

Besides, I'm now an inner house wizard. There is no need to worry too much. And the academy won't stay silent if there is any breach of rules.

When my thoughts became clear. I let out a small smirk before continuing my walk. My sudden response stunned everyone. Seeing me coming, the face of a bloodline wizard turned ugly.
