Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Chapter 397 Part 13: Mystic Ruins

From MC's perspective:

Several minutes later,

After killing all those remaining witnesses, only four of us remained on this spot. The team was a little tense about the situation even after removing the traces of the killing.

But I'm happy instead. I have collected storage bracelets from the dead wizards. The Royal Force Hall Wizards were not short on resources. I hope to get something from their storage bracelet.

I heard a voice from behind when I was lost in my thoughts.

"Vincent?"

Lara White, Don, and Eva are looking at me.

I'm already aware that many wizards came to explore this site behind this monstrous wall.

But the situation changed because of Royal Force Hall and the Weapon Palace.

"Thanks for helping us," Lara White said, looking into my eyes.

Don and Eva also thanked me. I must say this is the first time I'm having real conversations with my classmates.

Earlier, everyone was on edge because of the simulated trial and special class ranking.  Now, after helping them in dire situations, their opinion of mine is changed.

After figuring it out, I revealed a faint smile on my face. "It's okay, what are you guys planning to do now?" I asked three of them.

I guess they don't know about the plans of wicked wizards. As they intend to access the restricted sites. A quick gleam flashes in my eyes.

Lara White and the other two looked at each other.

Lara replied, "Actually, we wanted to explore the secret site behind their walls. But unexpectedly Kathy Rose ruined all of this. And it is not safe to explore the place with four of us alone."

"On top of it, the Royal Force Hall and the Weapon Palace have level-5 wizards in their team. I feel it is not good to bump into them, especially in this location," Lara White added in a solemn tone.

The atmosphere quieted down for a moment.

As I had guessed earlier, she still has thoughts of exploring the place. After a few minutes, we finally decided to leave this place together.

The lure of the secret site behind the monstrous wall was high. But considering the team numbers we decided to leave. Things are not clear, but I feel two of our teammates died.  Now only four of us are remaining on the team.

The other two academies had 20 wizards on their teams. Few of them died at our hands. I don't know what their remaining numbers are.

I too had the thought of exploring the site. But Lara's words made some sense. Right now it's best to stick with the team.

Several hours later,

We were walking along the road aimlessly. It's been a few hours since we had left the borders of the secret site. And it's good news that we didn't come across any other wizards on the way.

Everything is going well so far. But I can't explain the awkward atmosphere between us. It's been several hours since we are walking as a group. But we barely talked.

Suddenly a good idea comes to mind.

"White peach?" I said in my heart. I still got some white peaches left. It's a good opportunity to make some connections. It was rare for Lara White to talk. I guess she will return to her cold mode after returning to the academy.

I also wanted to know more about the Taboo Hall. Which is way more mysterious than our Hall. There are also these wizards from the Transformation Hall and the Elemental Hall. It's a good opportunity to know about strong wizards in their respective Hall.

It's been some time since I joined the academy. But I have yet to come across a truly strong wizard except for the people from the Bloodline Hall.

"Ahem, I found these peaches earlier. Do you guys want some?" I said while taking out the peaches.

Three of them failed to notice where the peaches came from.

"It's good stuff," Eva said while picking up one of the peaches from my palm.

Don who was less talkative earlier opened his mouth to say, "I heard white peaches can increase the vitality of a wizard" With a simple smile on his face he began to eat.

Seeing the two receive the fruit without any doubt, Lara White showed some hesitancy in her eyes. She doesn't like to take free things.

After some hesitancy, she takes out two potions from her hand. She said to Vincent, "One potion is for improving strength and the other one is for improving Vitality."

"Which one do you want? I don't want to take the peaches for free," She added further.

When she said those words. Don and Eva's faces burned with red. They were ashamed. Both of them are elite wizards from their respective halls.

They too have some personal collections with them. Don Cline pondered for a moment before taking out the metallic ball. The metallic ball is a product of the Transformation Hall and the Research Hall.

It can change into any metallic shape as per users' wishes. But one flaw is that it's not the magical artifact that was usually preferred by wizards.

"Metallic Ball," Eva uttered in surprise.

"Ha...Ha...Ha.., as a transformation wizard. I'm not short of this product. But for others the metallic ball is an useful tool," Don said with laughter.

"Brother Vincent, I hope you won't refuse my gift for saving my life and for peaches of course," Don added.

Even Lara gave appreciative look at Don's actions. A metallic ball is a useful tool. It might not be the artifact. But still, it was the product made by the wizards. You can use it for household purposes.

Seeing the product from these two people, Eva made up her mind to gift nothing less than that of them.

Then she takes out a small wooden box. And in front of everyone's gazes, she opens it. A two-leaf clover with magical blue veins is placed inside the wooden box.

Gasp!

Don let out a small gasp after identifying the item. It was one of the treasures of the elemental hall.

Don asked, "Are you okay with giving this treasure away?"

Even Lara's eyes lit up with surprise. Then she nodded her head in understanding. These two wizards are not ungrateful. After realizing this she smiled in response.

Eve ignored Don's question and looked at Vincent before saying, "Brother Vincent, this cloverleaf is an important treasure for us wind elemental wizards as it increases the speed of the wizards after consumption."

"Thanks for saving my life once again Brother Vincent," She added further.

On one hand, these three have taken out their valuable treasure. On the other hand, I'm pleasantly surprised inside. This is an unexpected windfall.

I wanted to get some information from them. But they surprised me with their treasure instead. Which is no loss for me.

"All right, I accept your treasures," After saying that I gave the remaining peach to Lara before getting the strength potion from her.

Then I received the metallic ball from Don and the final clover leaf treasure from Eva.

I don't know whether this is a magical coincidence or not. Because I need exactly these two things.

After placing the treasure inside the storage bracelet, we resumed our walking.
