Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

From MC's perspective:

Duel Platform,

The Mechanical Wizard realized the danger of the purple flower. Unless he destroys that flower. It's impossible to reach her.

But he is unwilling to give in. Considering the mana is dropping rapidly in his body. He thought of a sinister move.

Only a wizard with a mad view can do this. Under the eyes of many, he moved his fingers again in a different pattern.

The 2 puppets began to charge at her.

Seeing that Miranda got alerted again. She positioned herself behind the purple flower.

When these 2 puppets come in contact with the purple flower.

The Mechanical Wizard grinned before detonating the puppets' power core.

Boom!

A deafening sound reverberated throughout the area.

The 2 puppets exploded into pieces in front of the eyes of people.

Miranda got hit. The purple flower was the 1st one to bear the brunt of the explosion. Half of the flower was blown away. But still, the aftermath of the explosion managed to hit her hard.

Pfff!

Blood spilled from her mouth. Her body flew backward like a broken kite before smashing into the invisible barrier.

Gasp!

The crowd exclaimed in disbelief.

Just a few minutes before. Everyone thought Miranda was going to win easily. But no one expected the Mechanical Wizard to come up with a terrorizing move.

Miranda suffered an injury. Because of that, she lost control over her spell. The green field surrounding her disappeared.

"Ha...Ha...Ha...," Seeing that Mechanical Wizard let out a laugh.

It was totally a helpless move for him. But he didn't expect himself to be a game-changer.

The referee saw that Miranda was unable to continue. So he declared the Mechanical Wizard as the winner.

Cheer!

The spectators on the stand let out a cheer. No one expected Mechanical Wizard to do well in this internal competition.

Everyone thought they were just included because of the wizard hall. From every wizard hall, someone has to participate.

Unless there are special circumstances. Like with the Medicine Hall. In no way, they can participate in the normal duel competition.

Meanwhile,

Carolina and I were dumbfounded.

"Damn"

"What was that move?" Carolina muttered to herself.

But I recognized it completely. The core was purposely detonated by the wizard. In my Earth golem puppet, the missing part was that core.

It's the power source for the puppet.

A look of intrigue flashes in my eyes. I wonder what kind of core he used.

Was it related to his awakened magic or something else?

Time passed in the blink of an eye,

Other duels continued. But none of them were interesting enough.

When all the duels came to an end in the evening time. I returned to the dorm room.

Taboo Hall:

Mike Curtis is standing in front of a middle-aged man wearing a cloak. The person is none other than Mike Curtis' teacher.

His face was hidden because of the hoody. Mike didn't even dare to look into his eyes.

"This internal competition is important for the Taboo Hall. You had plenty of chances to prove yourself."

"You have executed some and failed in a few tasks."

"But failure was not acceptable in this internal competition."

A deep voice reached Mike Curtis' ears. Hearing that a cold glint flashes in his eyes.

"Teacher, I'll do well in this competition. I'm already standing at the peak of level-5 rank. There are not many in this competition who can defeat me," Mike replied.

It's been some time since his teacher has asked him to do something.

Mike's resolute answer satisfied the middle-aged man. Then he thought of something serious before saying, "If you are matched against that Sub-Taboo Hall Wizard later. Make sure to gauge his depth."

After saying a few more things he disappeared from the spot. Only Mike Curtis was left in the place.

"Vincent Carey!" He mumbled under his breath.

He had never failed in the tasks given by his teacher before. But things changed after Vincent Carey's appearance.

For the 1st time, he had faced defeat in the tasks related to Vincent Carey. He had devised various plans to assassinate Vincent Carey.

But all of them have failed. Not only that, even the junior sister he used to admire usually has long since surpassed him to become True House Wizard.

Yet he remains in the same position waiting for the chance to understand the Rule Power. As long as he understands even 0.1% of the Shadow Power.

He would break through to become the True House Wizard. He also heard about the competition held by 3 big academies.

People who do well in this internal competition will be selected for that. He believes as long as does well. He can find an opportunity to understand the Shadow Rule.

Maybe his teacher might do something to help him. But before that, he has to stand out among other genius wizard students.

He was also among the wizard students who were paying close attention to other genius wizard students.

He has recognized the strong genius wizard students from the Transformation Hall and Unique Hall.

Even the latest duel between Mechanical Wizard and Unique Wizard made him wary of other genius wizard students.

When it comes to his teacher's words at the end. He made up his mind not only to gauge Vincent's strength but to defeat him as well.

He has failed previously. But this time he got the opportunity to thrash him in front of everyone. In that way, the Sub-Taboo Hall image would get hit as well.

Dorm room-The following day,

After completing the morning routine. I sat cross-legged on the ground to meditate.

I closed my eyes and started to run the gravity ark mental method. Right after, I felt the presence of the Grey mana particles in my surroundings.

Slowly, the gravity mana particles entered my body. Then I circulated the mana particles according to the mental method.

After circulation, the pure mana entered my mana core space. Where the mana core completely absorbs all those incoming mana.

I continued the meditation until I felt the daily limit.
