Chapter 354 Part Four: Magic Forest
From MC's Perspective:
After recovering the mana, I made up my mind to search nearby areas before the competition comes to an end.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
After a few hours, the special trail comes to an end. Right after, the blue tattoo on my wrist lit up.
Swish!
Before I could think of anything else. I disappeared from the spot and appeared back in the control room.
When I opened my eyes, I saw the remaining students standing beside me. Everyone is coming in one by one from the teleportation.
Then I see a hand stretching toward me out of nowhere. When I raised my head to see. I realized it was Mentor Lion. Then I see a deep green color potion in his hands.
"Here, take this potion. It will cure your poison," Lion said in a calm tone.
Then a look of realization dawned upon me. He must have watched everyone's performance. I took the potion from his hand. And I opened the cork and drank it one at a time.
When the energy entered my organ. I feel sudden changes like my cells are being rejuvenated. But I know it must be the effect of a healing potion. The poison must have been eliminated by now.
Then I decided to check the system.
"System, show my status panel," I said to the system.

[Title: Lord of the Gregor Mansion.]

A row of information appeared before my eyes. My eyes immediately scanned the details. After seeing the vitality return back to normal. A hint of relief flashes in my eyes.
What a power potion! I recalled the deep green color of the healing potion. When I was lost in thoughts, I heard a sudden commotion.
I retracted my thoughts and looked toward the right.
At this time, Lara White appeared. There is a bright glow on her face. Facing the cheers from classmates, she remained indifferent.
Right after, two more people appeared. With that, 20 or so people came back from the trial without any casualties.
The Wizard Lion looked at everyone before nodding his head. Now it's time to calculate the points.
"Alright, everyone. Stand in line according to your ranks. And hand over your resources one by one," Wizard Lion instructed.
Meanwhile, I stepped forward and stood beside Lara White. Feeling my presence she turned back to look at me.
I met her gaze without showing many expressions on my face.
Lara White gave a small snort in her heart. She doesn't believe that Vincent would surpass her. Because she was fortunate enough to collect rare resources.
As far as she remembers, she didn't waste any time in a magic forest. Most of the time she was met with opportunities. Which gives her a strong sense of confidence.
Meanwhile, A frown appeared on my face. What's with her attitude? If not for my decision to stay low-key, I would have taught her a lesson.
But it's a pity. The politics inside the Academy is too deep. There are multiple factions in it. I'm not even sure about my situation. I'm yet to see other Sub-Taboo wizards in my Hall.
Shaking my head, I pushed these thoughts behind my mind. Then I shifted my attention back to reality.
I see Lara White placing several metal boxes on the table. Seeing that, I wasn't surprised. But when she continues to take a few more herb boxes. A strange glint flashes in my eyes.
"How come?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
I know how hard it is to look for the listed resources. But she had managed to collect this much. I couldn't help but think she might have appeared right in the middle of resource areas.
Meanwhile, Wizard Lion glanced at the boxes on the table before nodding his head. He has seen Lara's performance. When Lara placed the final box on the table.
Gasp!
The rest of the crowd let out a loud exclamation. From the beginning, the rest of the wizards widened their eyes in disbelief. Unlike Vincent, they weren't able to control their envy and jealousy.
Then before everyone's gazes. Wizard Lion began to count the herbs. When he opened the box to inspect it. A rare clover leaf came into view. Feeling the magic power in it, he slightly nodded his head.
Because the magic flower was carefully handled.
10 minutes later,
Wizard Lion finished counting the last herb. He said, "5000 points."
Gasp!
Another loud gasp resonated inside the room.
Lara White's eyes flickered with a happy glint. She knew the rare magic herbs worth high points.
"Tck, she scored again!"
"Now, no one can surpass this point."
"Hey, what kind of sh!t luck is this?"
The rest of the wizards began to murmur. For them, it had been very difficult to find the resource area itself.
But right after seeing Lara's resources. Many people don't know how to react for a while.
"Next," Wizard Lion uttered.
Lara White stepped aside and I walked forward.
My appearance immediately drew everyone's attention. Now, they will start to compare the two of us.
Before Mentor Lion's gaze, I took out the metal boxes one by one and placed them on the table.
Meanwhile, Lara White and others are staring at Vincent. They also want to see how many resources he has collected.
When I placed the last resource on the table. Mentor Lion starts to count.
Seeing that I remained silent. I have vaguely calculated some points in my heart. But I don't know whether it is close enough to Lara White's points.
I know everyone is looking forward to seeing the result. But this time I'm clueless.
At the same time, Lara White focussed on the magic herbs on the table. When she saw a dark water lily, a strange glint flashed in her eyes.
She recalled passing by the dark water swamp in the magic forest. At that time there was no sign of dark water lilies. But now she knows the answer.
Time passes,
One by one Lara White identified the magic resources. But her pupil shrank upon seeing the deadwood branch.
Gasp!
A loud gasp sounded in the room.
She and people with little knowledge know about the dead wood branch. They know that it was a branch of a Tree Monster.
But it is very hard to find the whereabouts of the Tree Monster. But right now seeing the deadwood branch, everyone looked at Vincent in disbelief.
10 minutes later,
Mentor Lion said, "5500 points."
A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. Right after the commotion quieted down. Before the appearance of a deadwood tree branch. Everyone was optimistic about Lara White.
Now the situation has turned. Vincent managed to take the lead in the end.
Lara White's expression becomes gloomy. She was sure earlier. But the appearance of a deadwood branch caught her off guard.
A complicated emotion flashes in her eyes. She wants to leave this place right now.
Time passed,
One hour later,
Wizard Lion announced the new special class rankings. This time I took 1st place again. Followed by Lara White in the 2nd rank position and others.
With the announcement of the result. The class comes to an end.
Right after, I left the special class and went to the dorm.
Dorm,
After a few minutes, I appeared back in my room. My body wants me to take some long rest. Before doing that, I went to take a long shower.
Meanwhile,
Lara White taught her dorm room as well. Now it's nighttime, and everyone is sleeping. Otherwise, she would have gone back to the Taboo Hall.
Even after getting freshened up, she can't get rid of the frustration. She did well in the special trial. But the single deadwood branch ruined her plan.
She remembers how she gave a provocative look to Vincent right before the Trail. But the other party didn't react at all. Her face became hot in embarrassment.
Finally, she calmed down after some struggles. Next, to redeem her face. She has to look for opportunities. Now, the whole Inner House is looking forward to the duel between Vincent and the bloodline Wizard.
She made up her mind to plan something right after the duel.
