(From MC's perspective) Wilderness, After entering the wilderness, I rushed towards the dividing edge. This time I'm planning to go deep into vast plains. Last time, I was stopped by the appearance of Second-order monsters. But now, I'm confident enough to face even third-order monsters. Time passed, I covered half a distance in half an hour. On the way, I hadn't faced any troubles. So it saved me a lot of time. I also encountered other adventurer groups on the way. But none of them was willing to open up a fight so soon. In that way, I avoided some troubles. When I was dashing towards the destination. I felt a cold gaze behind my back. For a moment, I thought I'm hallucinating. But after crossing a few distances, that feeling didn't go away. Who? A trace of apprehension appeared in my eyes. But I quickly recovered myself. I guess, some adventurer group is targeting me. This situation might be possible. Because I'm travelling alone, I may seem fat lamb to others. The next second, a wide smile spread on my face. It's been a long since I had a battle with other hunters. So my hands were itching to try it out. I looked around the surroundings. I'm still in the circle of the outer area. If there is any battle broke out it will soon attract the attention of others. So I have to cross the diving edge first. Time passed, I reached the dividing edge in an hour. When I paused my movements, I felt the following aura also slow down. On the way, I made some calculations. The people who are targeting me are not small in numbers. I believe it's a group of five. All of them exerted strong pressure. Especially, one of them is stronger than the rest of them. If my assumption is right, he must be the group leader. On the other hand, Kenny and his group closely follow Vincent Carey. So far, Kenny had found no other person besides Vincent Carey. Which brought a lot of surprise to him "What is going on?" He said to himself. "This kid hasn't met anyone on the way." "Is he planning to go alone?" A thought rose in his heart but the next second he felt its absurd. He feels that brat must have some destination in his mind. Otherwise, that brat won't continue without taking any rest. A quick glint flashed into his eyes when he realised the fact. But somewhere in his heart, there is some confusion. Because that brat is rushing at full speed. Which made him perplexed. That speed is not something any newly awakened wizard would exhibit. But Kenny retracted his thoughts. He is a level-3 wizard, he is capable of handling any changes. So he decided to kill Vincent after finding a good spot. Kenny then looked at his men before continuing to follow Vincent Carey. He was not afraid of the vast plains. As a strong level-3 wizard, he can easily take care of third-order monsters. He was also aware that fourth-order monsters were rarely seen in this wilderness. When it comes to the fifth-order monster, he doesn't know whether it exists or not. But as long as he doesn't come across fourth-order monsters. Kenny can easily execute his plan. He also doesn't want to encounter other adventurer groups. His eyes gleamed with a cold glint. No one should know that a school student died mysteriously in the wilderness. On the other hand, After crossing the dividing edge, I dashed towards the nearest open land area as soon as possible. Time passed, After an hour, I reached the small plains before the hill areas. This is my usual spot for hunting half and first-order monsters. After arriving at this place, I halted my movements and turned to face the incoming enemy. I felt five strong coming in my direction at full speed. WHOOSH A couple of seconds later, five people wearing dark black robes appeared in front of me. I wrinkled my eyebrows after looking at their attire. They do not seem to be hunters from adventurer groups. The next second, a horrible realisation struck my mind. "High-rank wizards," I mumbled under my breath. To make sure, I looked into their status panel after using the probing function of the system. It all happened in a blink of an eye. A strong curiosity rose in my heart. Why would a level-3 wizard follow me? Various questions popped into my mind. But before I could think of anything else. I felt the leader of the group is looking at me fiercely. "He.....He...He..." Kenny burst into a huge laughter. "Brat, what happened?" "Why don't you run anymore?" Kenny asked in a sarcastic tone. After saying that, he glanced around the surroundings. He instructed his men to spread around. He doesn't want any monsters or adventurer groups to interfere in this murder. Then Kenny acted with a relaxed attitude. He is not in any hurry to kill the brat. On the other hand, the leader's words brought shocked me. Especially, after seeing his men guard the surroundings. A quick glint flashed into my eyes. Why do I feel something amiss? Their activities do not seem like they come here to loot me. "After killing you, I will get huge rewards from the lord," Kenny said casually. But he doesn't know his words will bring disastrous change the next second. "What?" I exclaimed in surprise. Someone is after my head. Who is it? Poison dagger? No way, I was fired from my part-time job. So there is no official contact between me and the police force. The image of Jake House comes to mind. Then I shook my head in denial. No one knows what happened to Jake House. He was officially declared missing. So these people are not related to him. Which means these people belong to a different force. The next second, a cruel glint flashed into my eyes. I need to find out who is behind them. The only possible enemy I can think of is Frank Lambert. "Who wants me dead?" I asked in a solemn tone. Kenny was surprised for a moment. He found this brat is not afraid at all. A sly smile spread on his face. He decided to torture this brat before ending his life. Then he strode towards the brat. His team members also keep an eye on the surroundings. On the other hand, I looked at him solemnly. When he walked closer towards me, I began to cast the magic. "Gravity Field" I released the gravity spell for a couple of seconds. A terrific pressure appeared out of nowhere. Kenny who was looking at the brat with a sly smile on his face was dumbfounded the next second. His chest tightened for no reason. Feeling something ominous in his heart. Kenny thought about escaping. He looked at the brat with disbelief in his eyes. Before he could open his mouth to command his team members. A mighty pressure landed on him. Puff He collapsed onto the ground the next second. This sudden change in situations alarmed other members. I saw the rest of them dashing towards me. Seeing that, I snorted before releasing the same spell again. Thud One by one simultaneously, four wizards crushed onto the ground. They were deeply injured. The next second, I dispelled the gravity spell. My gaze then fell on the leader before looking at the rest of them. Everyone's life is hanging on a thread. I sighed in relief after seeing that. If not for the gravity magic, I would have been dead right now. Then I saw the leader coughing up blood. My eyes gleamed with a cold glint. "Tell me, who ordered you to kill me?" I asked. My voice was not loud but it fell on everyone's ears. Kenny raised his head and looked at the brat. His mind was a complete blink. He won't know what to make of their current situation. Everything was fine a moment ago. Now everyone reached the death door. Kenny's eyes filled with horror. A newly awakened brat can instant kill the level-3 wizard. The whole thing seems incomprehensible to him. But it has happened in reality. No wonder, his master asked him to kill this brat. But still, his master had made an error in judgement. He has underestimated this brat greatly. Feeling the intense gaze, he shuddered. Kenny knows he has no chance of survival. Now, he won't want to get tortured before dying. Kenny has resigned to his fate now. He decided to spill the truth. Then he slowly began to speak. 5 minutes later, My heart was filled with a huge shock. The former headmaster wants me dead. Why? I couldn't find any possible reason for it. Is it because he was fired from his job? I recalled, how mine and Lucas' organisation pressurised the school chairman to remove the former headmaster from his post. I can understand his motive. But I'm still surprised by his connections. He has connections with killers. Then what about these people? Then again I interrogated them. A few minutes later, I killed five of them before collecting their valuables. "These people are just local thugs," My eyes gleamed with a cold glint. Then I disposed of their corpses before going deep into the woods.
