Chapter 67 [Bonus ] Part 2: Rumors
Class A1,
Hearing the laughing, Liam realized that everyone was staring at him right now. He exhales for a brief moment over them. Due to the sudden pressure, four of them staggered backwards.
Finally, one of them breaks the silence, pointing at Liam and saying, "Liam, Patrick is now missing." He did not return home that day."
Liam lifts his brows in astonishment and releases the strain. "So what!" he asked casually. What it has to do with me, and who knows what was going through his head at the moment." Liam responded indifferently, not taking anything seriously. The possibility of something bad happening to him never occurred to him.
Only four of the Friends are affected by Patrick's disappearance. The leader of Patrick's family went somewhere to seek help. So the four of them were perplexed at first, thinking Liam had assigned him some hidden task. On Liam's orders, four of them ganged up on Vincent again.
But after hearing Liam's response, they are even more enraged. Unlike Liam, who saw them as Lackeys, the five of them were thick friends.
Liam didn't mind their stares; he walked by them and took a seat next to his true friends.
When Chrissy Heart saw Liam's sad faces, she bit her rosy lips and inquired, "Liam, what happened?"
Liam shook his head and said nothing after hearing that since he is aware of Frank's eyes on him, which makes him very uncomfortable.
When the clown detected his look, Frank snorted and turned his gaze to his friend.
This was a minor incident that occurs on a daily basis.
"Did you forget about our plan?" Bruce asked Liam after some thinking.
"What plan?" Liam, who is currently depressed, inquired.
Bruce did not tell him directly, instead saying, "Gravity."
Liam quickly understood and responded, "We can't do anything about that right now." As I already stated, we must wait two months before old students graduate from our class."
Chrissy clenched her teeth and muttered, "Until then, I don't want to come across him."
She didn't want to see Vincent's arrogant expression, which made her fury boil.
Even if there is no profound hostility between them, she was badly crushed by his gravity force.
Liam misinterpreted her words and advised, "Yeah, the three of you should keep away from Him." With your poor magic, the three of you will never be able to defeat him."
Chrissy was taken aback and promptly struck his shoulder in rage.
Bruce, unlike Chrissy, did not become enraged. But he wondered, "When are we going to beat him?"
"Sigh," Liam responded with a little sigh, "Actually, you guys are powerful." But his taboo magic is just too powerful. He wouldn't have a chance against you guys if it were any other common magic."
They both nodded, remembering how helpless they felt against gravity magic. Not only that, but Mark is secretly listening to them as well.
"You are correct! Bruce said.
On the other side of Frank's circle, this was going on. They were discussing the Monster Hunting Trip that other Classes had planned.
"It will cost a lot of money," Frank scoffed, "and our Headmaster will not allow it."
"Yes, the Headmaster is really stingy," one of his buddies confirmed. He is even reconsidering spending resources on us."
"Only qualified and talented mages like us should access school resources," Frank affirmed. I'm not sure what the other teachers were thinking when they wasted resources on trashes."
Mr. Eric Wallace, Class Teacher A1, entered the room just as they were finishing their conversation. He looks at Liam for a split second before moving away from him.
When Mr. Wallace arrived, everyone stopped whispering, but who would have guessed Frank would ask a question at this point? "When is our next monster hunting trip, Mr. Wallace?"
Nobody anticipated him to ask such a question, and even Mr. Wallace was taken aback. "Yes, the news has already begun to circulate." He reflected to himself. But his query has given him a headache.
Frank wants to force the response from my mouth. But I'm not a fool, so I replied with a smile, "Probably, two months later." Mr. Wallace was afraid he might ask too many questions, so he motioned for him to sit down.
But Frank did not listen to him since he was curious whether the monster hunting excursion planned by the other classes was true or not. So he asked again, "Mr. Wallace, I heard rumors that other classes are planning a monster hunting trip." When he stated that, everyone inhaled cold breath and turned their gazes to Mr. Wallace.
"I'm dead," Mr. Wallace said.
Victoria's eyes light up with a startled glimmer. Who wouldn't want to go on a Monster Hunting Excursion? Fighting the monster is the best way for her to perfect her skills. She is also eager to hear his response. As a 3rd Rank Mage, she was always looking for ways to improve herself. She reasoned that if she had another chance to go on a monster hunting trip, it would be extremely beneficial to her.
Not only her, but everyone else had the same thought right now.
Danny Quinn, 2nd Ranker, was likewise paying close attention to the conversation while tapping his fingers on the desk. He casts a quick peek at his rival to see what he thinks, but, predictably, he closes his eyes again. He's not sure whether to laugh or cry. After seeing him, he shake his head.
Danny feels that even if another monster hunting trip is planned, nothing will change for Brent Dale, 1st Ranker. Brent, he believes, has already outperformed his contemporaries. Brent can now fight against Level 3 Mages while still in Level 2.
Like others, he looks to Mr. Wallace for answers; the trip may not be beneficial to Brent. But it's significant to him. But he is unaware that Brent is also interested in this topic. A monster hunting trip is more than just honing your abilities. You can hunt monsters and sell their pieces for a high price. In rare cases, you may come across their valuable gem
