Chapter 296 Part One: Going To The Capital
(From MC's Perspective)
The following day,
10 A.M
After returning from the small gathering, I slept early last night. Today will be my last day in the city. But still, there is no news from Elder John.
If my family's arrangements were complete, then I can move to the Capital without worry.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
One hour later,
Beep!
Getting the call from Elder John, I immediately got up from the seat. I realized he is visiting my home. So I picked up the call and spoke to him.
My eyes gleamed with twinkle a couple of seconds later. "Thank goodness, he made the arrangements successfully just as he had promised," I grumbled.
It's time to break this good news to mum and dad. But the next moment, I realized something. Right now both of them have gone back to the hospital. I guess the news must have reached them from their organization.
I recovered my thoughts and decided to ask them later. Then my attention shifted to the capital.
Sitting on my sofa, I started to gather some information online.
30 minutes later, a quick glint flashed in my eyes. I ponder deeply. There are many states in our sand rock country. And our red city is located in a star field state. And the red city is also one of the backward cities in the state.
My expression turned gloomy for a moment. These things are not new to me. But earlier, I had no intention to look outside of the red city.
Now, I'm going to walk out of the red city. A new realization dawned upon me. This small barren city has many arrogant young masters like Liam Baker, Frank Lambert, Danny Quinn, and Brent Dale.
I can't imagine the number of similar people I'm going to meet in the future. It's not like I'm afraid of them. At my current level, I can kill level-5 wizards easily. So I'm not worried about their strength.
Rather I feel it's better to use them to collect resources for my magic power. I don't believe in this wider world. Only Meteor country has resources for my gravity magic.
If I can search history deeply enough, I believe there ought to be some untouched places in this world. As this belief rose in my heart, I made up my mind to hatch a new plan.
Once I get settled in my new academy, I will further develop my plan to gather resources. Apart from daily practice and hunting monsters, this plan has now become my new goal.
Then retracting my thoughts, I took a deep breath. Next, my attention shifted back to other information. Especially the names of the forces in the capital city.
The Royal force hall at the state capital city is the state branch of the main force. So far the Moon Star Capital City consists of three forces. 1. Royal Force Hall 2. Adventure Hall and 3. The Yellow River Academy.
When I sorted out this information, my eyes lit up with surprise. When Elder John said he decided to bring me to the capital. I don't know whether he spoke about the State Capital or Country Capital.
I revealed a bitter smile on my face. I believe it should be the Country's Capital. The reason for my strong belief is that level 5 or above is the main pillar of the country. They are not easy to dispatch.
But here Elder John is walking freely. So I believe it should be our country's capital, the Dragon Star City. Only organizations in the Country's capital can dispatch strong wizards at level 5 or above easily.
Thinking about jumping over from a small unknown barren city to the country's capital makes my blood build. But at the same time, I realized the seriousness of the issue.
If not for my sub-taboo magic, it's not easy to skip state entry to join the capital directly. I skipped the entire screening process.
The branch organizations from various forces usually absorb local talented wizards then they send the individual to the country's capital based on performance.
Now, I don't have to go through a tedious process. So the quota for the special program is priceless in my situation. I can simply avoid wasting time at the state capital.
Thinking about the state branch, it's really difficult to collect gravity resources from the state capital. I couldn't help but wrinkle my eyebrows.
Only after doing some introspection, I realized my mistake. I underestimated the preciousness of my chance. The competition in the country's capital is going to be something else.
No wonder, Elder John seemed to be serious when it comes to talented seeds at Capital. I raised my eyebrows slightly.
I'm one step away from reaching level 3. I don't know what the bottom rank is inside the special class. Why do I have this feeling that people who enter special programs might be level 3 or above?
This feeling makes me uncomfortable. I should better inquire about some details from Elder John. After figuring it out, I decided to check the forces in the Country's capital.
1 hour later,
I closed the communication watch and shut my eyes. But I didn't stop thinking. After going through some online articles, I understand something. The Capital is scary.
I don't know whether the information published online was true. The land size of the Capital alone is many times larger than our Star Field State.
I remember I saw some news about the capital some time ago. But that was all. It didn't attract my attention. On top of it, I was going through a bad phase a year ago due to the failure of my awakening.
And when it comes to forces, there are several forces situated in the Capital. Including the Yellow River Academy, the Royal Force Hall, the Adventure Hall, and the Magic Union.
These are the forces I'm just familiar with but there are other giant forces also there. For example, Weapon Palace is for weapon-type wizards and the Beast academy is for wizards with beast powers.
It's widened my knowledge. I had never met anyone with beast powers in this city. It will be a new experience. What kind of wizards were the beast wizards? I can't wait to see their magic power.
At the same time, when it comes to the Weapon Palace this force seems to be another famous organization similar to my academy. But it only allows weapon wizards to join.
The next moment, the image of two people comes to my mind.
"Frank Lambert" "Victoria Shields"
Don't tell me I'm going to meet him in the Capital. But the next moment I shook my head in denial. The people who join forces at the Capital are blessed with terrific talent.
Even my current pale orange talent is nothing special. It's because of sub-taboo magic that people made an exception.
So it's highly unlikely that two of them will join the weapon palace. After retracting my thoughts, I decided to take some rest.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
Evening,
Beep!
After knowing Elder John had come, I walked downstairs. At this time mum and dad also returned home from work.
Seeing that Elder John is talking to my parents. I walked up to join them. Shortly after, Elder Brother Brian also joined our conversation.
At first, there was small talk, but I kept my mouth shut. But from time to time, my brother keeps staring at me. This guy? I wonder what he is going to do alone later?
He can't relocate and join mum and dad. His academy is close to our city. Recalling his behavior, I doubt whether he can live without seeking support from them.
John Meyers is speaking casually to Brad Carey. But he knows it's time to share the major news.
"Mr. Brad, I presume you got a letter from the hospital," He asked.
Brad Carey and Lila Carey looked at each other.
Brad Carey sighed and said, "Yes Elder, we got the transfer letter to our headquarters." He is not a fool; he knew it was the work of the Yellow River Academy.
Otherwise, it's not easy to transfer from a small branch to headquarters.
Seeing that Elder John brought up a crucial topic.
On the other hand, I sighed in relief. So the transfer arrangements were a success. Now I can stop worrying about the backhand work of the hostile organization.
John Meyers smiled in response. But he also noticed their sullen mood.
"Mr. Brad, this is a good arrangement. Not only for Vincent but for both of you as well,"
After saying that he added further, "Only at the headquarters, it's easy to get the necessary resources for a breakthrough."
"Breakthrough?"Hearing that Brad Carey's heart set off storms. Even Mother Lila's hand trembled a little. Earlier, they agreed to arrangements considering her son's safety.
But both Brad and she had never thought about their breakthrough.
Seeing their complex expressions.
John Meyers said in a calm tone, "You guys have already reached the limit of level 3. It's only because of talent constraints and limited resources that you guys didn't have breakthrough opportunities."
"But if your son performs well at our academy. These things are always achievable," He added further.
