(From MC's Perspective) Little Star Gate High School, The bell rang throughout the school, signaling the end of classes. Students start to leave the room. When I noticed this, I tapped Fatty on the shoulder and asked him to follow me. I felt Easton's gaze on me the entire day today. I have a hunch that this guy couldn't keep his cool. He will eventually turn against me. So I didn't let my guard down. We left the school a few minutes later. I noticed complicated fatty eyes on the way. He appeared to be considering asking a question. But I stopped him and told him to keep an eye on his back on his way home. When I saw Fatty's back disappear, I muttered, "He's not as stupid as he appears." A small smile appeared on my face as a result of this. Because I clearly guessed his intent. Fatty wished to assist me by remaining by my side. He didn't say it out loud, but I believe he had reservations about my strength. As a fellow newcomer, he's entitled to believe that I can't compete with senior students. I'm not going to answer his questions. So I decided it was best if he left. Despite the fact that he is a good friend of mine, I am not going to reveal my abilities to him. There are numerous points where I am unsure. Especially in terms of how he gathers information. Then, retracting my thoughts, I turned to face the school's entrance. Students were leaving the school. My gaze scanned the crowd for Easton Brown, Liam Baker, and his other minions. I had planned to go to Claudia Gym before coming to school. However, after hearing Easton's intentions, I believe there is a need for a change of plans. I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows when I thought they were taking their time leaving. Fatty and I usually take some time before returning home. They must be waiting for a good opportunity to show up. Several ideas come to mind. I'm still not sure what to do about Easton if he decides to fight. I cocked up my chin in thought. "First, let's take a look at what they're up to. Then I think about a suitable plan." Then I decided to observe their movements from a distance. Easton Brown left the school by himself a few minutes later. The first thing he did was take a look around him. Then he took a step in the right direction. When I realized this, my lips curved into a gentle arc. If my guess is correct, that guy is on his way to a popular restaurant on this street where fatty and I used to eat mana food. "How did he get the intelligence for our activity?" My eyes twinkled with delight. Then I didn't follow him carelessly. I'm curious to see what he'll do next. Will he leave once he notices that we are not present? Or Is he going to have another conversation with Liam Baker? In my heart, a spark of curiosity arose. It's a lot of fun to see what your opponents are up to. My eyes caught a glimpse of people while I was lost in my thoughts, and they were unaware. Liam Baker, Chrissy Heart, Bruce Hill, and Mark Spears all left the school at the same time. "The ugly trio never leave the shadow of Liam Baker," I sneered inside as I saw Chrissy Heart and her friends. Then I noticed Liam's downcast expression, which made me smile. "It appears that he is aware of their intentions, but he chose to ignore them." "What a jerk." I grumbled. Each person's abacus is distinct from the others. In other words, it's difficult to find pure-hearted wizards in my class. Lucas, too, has his own methods of getting things done. After that, I retracted my thoughts and focused my attention on their movements. Surprisingly, an argument erupted out of nowhere. I couldn't hear their conversation because of the distance. But I see Liam Baker pointing his finger at them while muttering something. I'm not sure what? But I can see the trio's hideous expressions in a split second. Sometimes I think minions are more dangerous than bosses. Even if Liam doesn't want to cause a commotion, it appears that these people will not let him. "What kind of friend circle is this?" I sneered. At the same time, Easton Brown exited the restaurant, disappointed. When I notice this, my gaze shifts back and forth between them. It feels good to be able to observe such an ongoing drama from behind the scenes. I have a feeling these people will notice each other. Easton Brown then happened to catch a glimpse of Liam's argument with his group. Seeing that his face had darkened immediately, he decided to return home right away. When Easton saw Liam and his group, my eyes widened with surprise. But then, instead of meeting them, that guy walked away from the spot. Easton's actions took me completely by surprise. I assumed they were in collusion with each other, but Easton's expression says otherwise. What exactly is going on? Is there a new source of contention between them? Several ideas come to mind. But for the time being, it's beneficial to me. Easton chose to leave, which saved me a lot of time. Claudia's gym is now open to me. I straightened my back and sent a message to my parents about my trip. There is no longer any reason to hide. If my parents are curious, I can freely reveal my hunter identity. It's a lot better than working part-time at the wizard police department. After sending the message, I looked over at Liam and his group, who were still arguing. I chose to walk away from this place, shaking my head in disapproval. Soon after, I noticed an air cab waiting for passengers on the street. When I saw that, I dashed over to it and jumped inside the car. The air car then rose from the ground and flew towards the destination. Several minutes later, the air cab arrived at the train station. I quickly entered the station and proceeded to my platform. I know it will be late at night when I get home. So I decided to train for a shorter time in Claudia's gym. This way, when I get home, I can get good sleep. Several hours later, Claudia Gym, After a long journey, I arrived in front of the Claudia gym. It's a good thing Claudia Gym is open all day. Otherwise, especially on this trip, I need to take a day off. I walked back to the front desk, retracing my steps. I noticed a middle-aged man sitting behind the desk this time. I informed him of my intention to use the mana chamber for two hours. But, as usual, the cost of practicing inside the mana chamber hurt my feelings. 500 alliance points per hour so I'll have to spend 1000 alliance points right now. It's no surprise that people usually use mana chambers after joining an academy or adventurer guild. This is too much of a burden for schoolchildren to bear. After paying the fee, I received the code from the staff after retracting my thoughts. After entering the building, I took the elevator to the second floor. The door creaks open. After stepping outside, I discovered a few others on this floor beside me. I have no doubt they are hunters based on their costumes. As I walked past them, a few of them looked at me. Because I was wearing my school uniform, and the school's blue mage robe is well-known throughout the city. I now understand why the front desk took a long look at me before giving me the access code. After getting past them, I entered the mana chamber room without thinking about them. Then I entered the access code to open the door. "Creak," said the door. The door behind me closed automatically as I walked inside. As I looked around, a small ecstasy rose in my heart. I haven't practiced here in a long time. WHIZZ, a small sound reverberates throughout the room. When I heard that, I looked up to see the inlet. The entire room will be filled with dense mana in a matter of seconds. Without further ado, I walked to the Center and sat cross-legged. Dense mana began to flow from the massive inlet in a matter of seconds. Simultaneously, I focused on the Gravity Ark Method. When I noticed a greater concentration of mana around me, I immediately began practicing mental methods. In my heart, a spark of curiosity arose. I was curious about the effectiveness of orange-grade talent. When the mental method kicks in, I feel as if I'm surrounded by a grey color mist. I'm at a loss for words to describe how I feel. Then I gradually began to circulate the mana. My body began to absorb the surrounding grey mana at an alarming rate. This unexpected movement surprised me. But the next second, I calmed down and resumed my practice.
