BXBX NOVEL Chapter 453 Part 2: Academy's Response
From MC\'s perspective:
I broke into an old shop located far away from the towering glass building. The first thing I did was to examine the surroundings. I saw different types of beverages placed on wooden racks.
Seeing that a look of understanding dawned on me. Then I brought the map and started to go through it seriously.
Then I found the transit point between the capital and a landing point before the dark forest.
And from the dark forest, I can enter the No Man\'s land. But the mode of transport here is different.
Unlike modern fortified trains, aircraft, and monster carriages. The majority of people travel by airship.
Which also made me realize how different this country is compared to my home country. Then I noticed the route between the two places.
There are no other stops basically in between. If I board the ship, I can leave the territory of this country. And the dark forest is considered to be uncharted territory.
And it isn\'t claimed by any of the neighboring countries. My eyes flickered with a slight glint.
The plan is looking fine. I hope there won\'t be any interference. And I also don\'t have any clue about what Dunken Smith\'s disappearance would cause.
I hope the 2 noble houses would leave it like that. After gaining some clarity, I decided to sleep.
Beep~
But all of a sudden my communication watch lit up with notification.
"Someone is calling me?" I mumbled under my breath.
Seeing that I stopped my footsteps and looked at my watch for a moment. Should I attend the call? My expression grew grave for a moment.
I don\'t want anyone to pinpoint my location. I\'m not sure whether they can trace my location or not. But I\'m suddenly having trouble making decisions.
Then I saw the contact name. Seeing that it\'s a call from Senior Gilbert.
A hint of relief flashes in my eyes,
Maybe I should lie to him. Nobody knows what happened to Gutt Brown except me. I think I can utilize the information in my favor.
As I regained my confidence, the nervousness in my heart was completely swept away.
When I attended the call. I heard the voice of Senior Gilbert after a long time.
"Vincent!"
"Are you fine?"
"Where are you guys right now?"
Hearing the back-to-back question, I sighed inwardly before coming up with a suitable lie.
I replied, "Senior Gilbert, I\'m in Tolu City right now."
On the other end of the call, Gilbert\'s eyes lit up with surprise. At the same time, he felt somewhat relieved.
He knew hostile groups were after Vincent\'s life. Now hearing that he was safe and sound. He couldn\'t have asked more.
Then Gilbert realized he is missing one more person.
He asked, "What about my friend Gutt? Is he with you right now?"
Hearing that, I didn\'t even hesitate to lie.
"Senior Gutt & I got separated before crossing the border. I don\'t know where he is. And what is he doing right now?" I said.
My voice sounded a bit sad.
Gilbert Reese frowned. His bad premonition came true. Earlier, he had tried to establish a connection multiple times.
He knew something must have gone wrong. Now hearing the confirmation from Vincent\'s mouth. Gilbert decided to look into the matter later.
Then suddenly returns to the main topic.
"Have you heard the news?"
"Vincent, Tolu City is not safe right now. You should come back immediately," Gilbert said.
He doesn\'t want anything to happen to Vincent. After a long time, their Sub-Taboo Hall has got talented members. That too Sub-Taboo gravity user.
If he falls in a foreign country, then it would be a great loss to the academy and their country as well.
On this side of the phone call, my mouth curved into an arc. Fortunately, Senior Gilbert didn\'t doubt my words.
His support is needed when I climb up the position in the future. Now Senior Gilbert is convinced it\'s as much as tying up all the loose ends.
"Senior, it took me a great deal of effort to escape from the enemies. I don\'t want to leave right away," I replied with a hint of fear in my voice.
Gilbert didn\'t even doubt Vincent\'s words. He knew people were after Vincent. But he underestimated Bloodline Hall\'s resolve.
Since he was busy clearing this place. He didn\'t have time to look into this matter. But it will change everything after today.
Since he is going back. He decided to make arrangements so that Vincent could return safely.
"Alright, Vincent. If you decide to come back then let me know. I will make some security arrangements then," Gilbert said.
"And one more thing, don\'t stay in the city for a long time. The 2 noble wizard houses are at war with each other. Don\'t get caught in the turmoil," He added further.
Gilbert deliberately didn\'t bring up the topic of Dunken Smith. Because he doesn\'t think Dunken Smith\'s disappearance has anything to do with Vincent Carey.
On this side of the call, I sighed in relief. Then we spoke for a few more minutes before ending the call.
"Finally," I said with a smile. This unexpected call brought me a huge surprise. But in the end, it went in my way.
I don\'t know why? But Senior Gilbert\'s words gave me great assurance.
Then shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts before walking to the rooftop. I don\'t know what kinds of news are awaiting tomorrow.
Swoosh~
Then I appeared in the Gregor Mansion and stood in the middle of the hallway. I decided to take a shower before going to sleep.
The following day,
After getting up from the bed. I completed my morning routine before sitting down for meditation.
I sat cross-legged on the ground. And started to run the gravity ark mental method. Right after, I started to sense the gray color of mana particles in the surroundings.
Seeing that I started to absorb the mana. When pure mana entered my body. I guided the energy according to the mental method.
After circulation, the refined mana settles down in my mana core space. At the same time, the mana core quickly absorbs the incoming refined mana.
Seeing that I continued to repeat the process.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
I opened my eyes three hours later. Feeling the slight increase in strength, I decided to look up the status panel.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

The status panel appeared in front of my eyes. Then my eyes immediately scanned the details. Seeing the normal rate of progression. I nodded my head in satisfaction.
Then I stood up and walked to the bath to take a shower.
20 minutes later,
I changed into a set of fresh black clothes. I also wore a black mask to cover my face. After getting ready, I appeared outside.
Swoosh~
Standing on the rooftop of a beverage shop. I slightly glanced at my surroundings. Then I rose from the ground and stood in the air.
Now I can see what\'s happening outside. I saw someone cleaning up the yard. Before someone sees me, I decide to leave.
Swoosh~
I remember the location of the airship platform. So I started to move in that direction. On the way, I encountered many transit vehicles.
But rarely does anyone fly on their own. Seeing that I immediately landed on the ground and started to walk.
My appearance didn\'t attract much attention. As I spotted many pedestrians with weird costumes. Undoubtedly, all of them are wizards.
What a drag! Initially, I wanted to book a flying car. But that would require me to show my I.D. proof. Currently, I\'m in this country illegally.
I don\'t want to get confronted by the authorities here. Especially after encountering the silver haired person yesterday. I should be more cautious here on.
I didn\'t go to the government administration office to register. That would be equally telling my enemy that I\'m here.
Shaking my head, I continued to walk on.
