Chapter 127 Part 1: Killing Jake
(From MC's POV)
The following day,
I left home early for school. I don't know what happened yesterday. Fatty didn't even pick up the call. Several thoughts run in my mind. But I'm clear about one thing. If I get an opportunity to meet Jake House, then I should use it.
I soon reached school after 15 minutes of walking. After entering, I proceed to the usual location to wait for Lucas Brad.
Time went on.
One by one, people begin to come in. including staff, students, and teachers. But my eyes are not on them. There is still no sign of Class A1 students.
Most of the students I've seen so far belong to other rank classes. including both B rank and C rank.
Shaking my head, I waited again.
The number of people going inside increased as the start of the school year approached.
Soon, I spotted a familiar silhouette. A small smile rose on my face upon seeing him. He is none other than Fatty Lucas. He is coming straight towards me.
"Brother Vincent, you didn't even tell me about your plan. Without minding me, you simply took a day off," Lucas Brad said with a tense face.
"I got some work yesterday," I said.
Then, looking at his tense face, I added further, "What happened?" I thought you could manage everything. "
After saying that, I looked around the waiting area to see if anyone was coming here.
Lucas Brad smiled wryly and replied, "When I realised you had taken a day off. Then I skipped the afternoon classes to go home. "
Hearing his words, I don't know whether to laugh or cry. I thought I could get some information from him. But it looks like I need to ask someone.
Touching my forehead with a headache, I fell into contemplation. There are still 10 minutes left for the class.
I looked at him and asked, "Do you know anything about Jake House?"
Lucas Brad raised his eyebrows; he is familiar with the name. Especially before joining the class, he collected information about the big wigs.
So hearing the name Jake House, a bell rang in his mind. And he recalls the information bit by bit.
Soon, Lucas realised this was the same guy whom he thought he was going to be challenged by Vincent the day before yesterday.
Then Lucas turned towards Vincent and commented, "Jake House, level-1 soil wizard. He is a member of the Royal Force Hall. He was recruited by them a year ago."
" When it comes to his family background, I couldn't collect much. But I knew he was from a strong background and he had four older brothers. All of them were more talented than him. "
The Royal Forces Hall?Right after awakening, didn't I receive the admission letter from them? This was the same group. However, my father informed me that the Royal Force Hall were government forces.
I asked, "Royal Force Hall, is it strong?"
Lucas Brad was stunned. He looked back at Vincent and answered, "Obviously, it is strong because it's a government force."
Then Lucas continues to say, "Apart from other normal government forces, Royal Force Hall were secretive ones. They can contend with any top academy. If you want to know about them, I don't know much about them. You can only ask their members. "
I fell into contemplation after hearing his words. I already stole something from the police department. It looks like my clash with them is not going to end. Inside, I sighed. Because at the end of the day all forces come under one umbrella called the government.
Before asking more questions, I realised it was time for the class. "Let's go," I said.
Soon, we both reached the A-rank building. After getting inside the lift, we waited for it to reach our floor.
Seeing that no one is around I thought we were the last.
Class A2,
Fortunately, the teacher has not yet arrived. We walked towards our seats after coming inside.
Like usual, I felt numerous gazes on me. Maybe it was because we were the last to arrive. That's why everyone is interested.
After taking our seats, I patted Fatty's shoulder.
I asked, "Did someone ask about me yesterday?"
Fatty Lucas shook his head and replied, "Except, Class Teacher Wallace. No one asked about you. "
I nodded, then my duel at combat class hadn't attracted a lot of attention. which is also good. Maybe everyone would have thought, "I'm just a rookie." There is nothing to worry about.
But I'm sorry to say, everything will change after I get that thing in my hands.
Then I put up an act to stretch my hands. While doing that, I take a glance at my surroundings to find Jake House.
Suddenly, I take a glance at the people sitting behind me. My heart skips a beat for a moment. This guy, Jake, is actually sitting behind me. A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes.
Seriously, if not for the system reminder on that day, I still would have been clueless about things around me.
"Sigh."
After sighing, I returned back to normal.
Jake House still has a gloomy expression on his face. I wonder whether he still has the super relic on him.
"System, Can you tell me? Whether Jake still has the super relic in his hands or not, "I asked the system in mind.
["Ding!" Host, Target still has a super relic on him]
Hearing the familiar similar sound in my mind, I revealed a small smile. There is still a lot to explore about usage of the system.
Each and every function of the systems was not easy. At least with this simple answer, the system helped me to save a lot of time and also helped me to avoid unnecessary trouble.
What to do? First, I should avoid startling the snake. He shouldn't have a clue that someone is staring at him. And I have a vague feeling in my heart that Jake didn't tell anyone about Super Relic.
I understand how terrifying it must be to hold something like that in your hands.
Maybe this guy has a gloomy expression because of it. Various thoughts run in my mind.
I also thought about two dangerous items in my storage bracelet. level-3 fire artefacts and level-4 poison liquid.
I have a feeling that even if I use a level-3 artefact against him, there is a possibility that he will escape from this.
Because I changed my opinion after hearing information from fatty. If this guy is really from an influential background, Then his family must have provided him with some safety items.
Keeping his background in mind, I think those safety items must have been high grade. In particular, this guy himself is quite strong in the same ranks.
I don't think level-2 wizards were quite life-threatening to him. So I have come to the conclusion that if there are any life-saving items left to him by his family,
Then it must be at least of level-3 grade, with magical power equal to that of level-3 wizards.
Considering those things, the safety items provided by Mr. Laurenz are really tasteless.
Fortunately, the decision made by me on the spur of the moment turned out to be valuable to me.
These poison bottles were enough to wipe out Jake's trace. Thinking about Captain Tyler's situation, the police wizards were helpless about it. Even they can't get the help of a level-5 wizard to save Captain Tyler.
What about Jake House?
I don't think Jake House' family will be able to save him.
After gaining some clarity, I thought about how to confront him. But just as I was pondering, Mr. Wallace stepped into the class.
Retracting my thoughts, I looked at him.
On the other hand ...
Mr. Wallace begins to check absentees. A few minutes later, seeing that everyone is present, He began to conduct his class.
A hint of surprise flashes in my eyes. Usually, at this point of time, Mr. Wallace should have done some moral teaching. What is happening now?
I seem to have missed something. The school may look normal from the outside. But there are also a series of changes happening inside. It's been three days since the removal of the previous headmaster, Collins.
So I believe in a few days, the management will appoint another head master. Thinking about it, a hint of urgency rose in my heart.
"Damn!" I uttered.
Here I'm hatching a plan to kill Jake House. But I almost forgot about a major loophole. Imagine if the new headmaster investigated this issue. Then it would be troublesome for me.
I can't postpone this issue. Within three days, I should kill Jake House. This plan should be executed before the appointment of the new head master.
Then after the appointment, the headmaster won't find anything about it. I can easily slip away from this. I made the decision to act sooner rather than later.
There is also another thing, I don't know Jake has any personal protector? If there is anyone guarding him outside, then it will be difficult to execute my plan.
Also it will pose threat to my life. But again thinking about poison bottles my insecurity fades away.
After gaining some clarity, I decided to stalk him after the school.
