Chapter 78 Asking For Help!
Meteor Country,
Breaking news about the teenage magic school student standing beside the injured old beggar is being telecasted on the news.
The scenes were shown live on the small projection screen hovering above the communication watch. By looking at the teenage kid\'s appearance Mr. John Meyers didn\'t doubt it for a second.
"isn\'t he Vincent? What is this fuss all about?" His brows wrinkled thinking about it. Then he wants to make sure again that the teenage kid on the screen is exactly Vincent.
But suddenly he received some notification. It\'s about his investigation. Upon seeing that he put behind this matter and left his balcony to his room. "What kind of forbidden research they are doing? Is this information valuable?" He muttered to himself while walking back to his room.
The message he received right now is sent by their informer. The informer hinted about a particular location in this country. Where Mr. John can get more clues about the investigation.
After walking back into his room, he shut the door and once again looked into the message.The credibility of the message is yet to be verified. He doesn\'t believe the informer entirely. He guessed this message perhaps reached other factions\' ears.
He didn\'t want to get into a situation, where his chances of getting exposed are higher. If the involvement of Yellow River Academy is known, then it will pressure our country instead. Of all the things can do, he must avoid such situations.
"Where should I start ?" He constantly questions himself while looking at his reflecting image in the mirror.
He has a vague sense of feeling that he shouldn\'t blindly trust the information in his hands. Which is more troubling for him to decide, then he immediately thought of something.
He takes out a portable runic disk from the storage ring. After tapping it twice, a wide projection screen rose above the runic disk. The next moment, Mr. John Meyers opened the map of the meteor Country.
It\'s a coincidence or what, this country approximately looks square in size. Mr. John Meyers observed the every detail as much as possible. He needs to find good starting point to do his investigation.
Meteor Country is surrounded by three neighbouring countries. Of which one neighbouring Country had shared two borders with it, while other two had shared one. Undoubtedly, the Country that had shared two borders with the Meteor Country is Sand Rock Country.
By looking at his country\'s border, Mr. John Meyers smiled. "There is no problem for me in escaping back to home." He thought to himself.
Next moment his gaze is set on the Supreme Meteoritic Academy. It is exactly located at the heart of the country, which is the center point. Mr. John Meyers eyes flickers with interest, "They say the academy was built on top of the meteoritic site." He muttered to himself.
Shaking his head, He focuses on other locations. Right now, it\'s impossible to get into the academy surroundings let alone the academy.
Time progresses,
He spends 20 minutes more to analyse the map yet he couldn\'t come across any suspicious location. It leaves him only with the informer\'s clue which is a wasteland. Usually, wastelands were piled with all kinds of garbage.
He had no idea how it related to the investigation.
"Sigh"
Having no other choice, he located the wasteland spot on the map. Surprisingly, the wasteland is closest to the heartland, which is the academy. His eyes instantly gleamed with surprise. "May be there is some surprise." He said in his heart.
Currently, He is staying in the south region of the country and his own country shares the southeast border with Meteor Country. To reach the wasteland to investigate he needs to travel at night.
After making up his mind, He ponders the next course of plan. Like other countries, there is an obvious difference between Mage and Human population. So there are different classes of treatment also prevalent.
At this point of time, He can\'t use the Mage treatment of this country for privacy reasons.
"Sigh, Looks like I need to disguise myself as a humble human," Mr. John Meyers sighed to himself.
A sense of confidence rose in his heart, after gaining some clarity. Since he decided the next course of action. Now, he thinks about Vincent Carey. "Fortunately, I had this kid number. I can inquire with him directly." Mr. John Meyers said in his heart.
Next moment,
He contacted Vincent Carey directly.
...
( From MC Perspective)
"Damn!" I had never expected these news reporters to spot on. Fortunately, they arrived at the spot a little bit late. So they didn\'t know the entire story.
Sighing, I leaped on my king size bed.
Next moment, I felt so much comfort.
My entire being finally gets relaxed as I was in my safe haven.
Then I laid comfortably on my bed by looking at the rooftop. Recalling the past few hours, I felt chills down my spine.
Things could have gone wrong. All it needed was a few seconds to make the decision. Fortunately, I held it and things ended up in my favor.
By recalling, the creepy old man\'s face. I couldn\'t help but sit down crosslessged to ponder.
"This old man released enormous killing intent before dying. But for what reason?" I held up my chin to ponder.
"Knife Maga ah" What a profession? It\'s a perfect tool made for killing.
Just as I was pondering, Suddenly I received a call.
"Hmmm" I was taken back. Don\'t tell me some other dude decided to disturb me after watching the news.
I reluctantly glanced at the contact name.
But upon seeing the name "John Meyer" on the call.
My heart skips a beat, I abruptly jumped up and landed on the floor.
Why is he calling? I calmed down my nerves for a moment before attending the call.
"Vincent?" Mr. John Meyers uttered from the other side of the call.
I straightened up my posture by hearing his voice. Sure, It\'s the exact voice.
"Yes, Mr. John. I\'m Vincent here." I said.
Mr. John Meyers nodded and asked back, "I saw a breaking news about a teenage mage student a few minutes ago. Is it you?"
He asked in a stern voice.
I\'m stunned by his words. "This?" How is he aware of news happening at a remote location?
While placing my palm on forehead, I answered, " Yeah, Unfortunately, It\'s me on the news, Mr. John "
After saying that, I explained to him what had happened since I last saw him. Including, My Part time work, New Team and most importantly the things that had happened in the school.
At this moment, I also remembered my promise to Ms. Rivers.
"Mr. John, I need your help to convince the school management for my transfer. I can\'t waste my time in lower class anymore. Currently I\'m in Class A2, Because of that I missed the opportunity to go for a Monster Hunting Excursion." I revealed my helplessness in my whole breath.
After saying that, I waited for his reply. But he remained silent.
The other end of the call, Mr. John Meyers bewildered for a second. He feels unreal by hearing his words. But still why would Vincent lie?
Next moment, He ponders, a unknown school located at a remote location won\'t dare to offend the majesty of Yellow River Academy.
The Red Province may be huge for them. Yet it is still undeveloped land compared to the Top Province in the Capital.
He didn\'t even put a Poison Dagger in his eyes. But he appreciated Vincent for acting independently before joining the academy.
Right now, He is only puzzled by the activities of little stargate school management. It\'s really an unfair treatment. Already there is a lack of resources in the entire Red Province, let alone their main city.
Suddenly, he couldn\'t help but think about hostile forces. " Is there any ghost behind this?" He said in his heart.
He retracted his mind and remembered the call was active. He asked back, "Vincent, Can you tell me apart from us? Which are the other forces that you had received contract offer from them "
I didn\'t get surprised by his words, I immediately answered back. But this time also Mr. John Meyers remains silent.
Other end, Mr. John Meyers complexion becomes solemn. "Dark League?" He mumbled under his breath.
When did they begin to recruit new blood in Red Province? I guess, this is the first time for them.
Considering our ongoing relationship with the dark faction, he couldn\'t help but worry. It\'s really surprising for Vincent to receive their contract offer, simply because he is not Dark Mage.
I\'m going to inform the academy about this, it\'s best to watch out for their movement in Red Province.
"Ahem, Vincent Carey. Don\'t stress about this, I\'ll handle it. " Mr. John Meyers said with assurance.
I sighed in relief at his words. Then I thought about Fatty Lucas. "Mr. John, I have one good friend. He is also experiencing the same situation as me." I said.
"Oh, What is it?" Mr. John Meyers asked back.
I commented, "His name is Lucas Brad, He also has the same talent as mine. He is now recruited by Marianne Food Chain." After saying that, I\'m nervously waiting for his reply.
