Chapter 538 Part 30: Battle Tower Trial (Core House)
Last night,
After dropping Carolina in front of the dorm, Gilbert returned to meet Elder Galvin.
A few minutes later,
Elder Galvin appears in front of Gilbert\'s Mansion. Shortly after, Gilbert Reese arrived and both entered the mansion.
Seconds later,
Sitting down on the sofa, both of them fell silent. The situation was dire and everything is going against them lately.
Gilbert Resse saw that Elder Galvin was thinking about something. But he wasn\'t able to calm down his anger.
"Elder?" He called out.
Elder Galvin\'s thoughts returned to reality. Seeing that Gilbert is wanting to ask something. He asked, "What is it?"
Hearing that Gilbert asked, "I wasn\'t able to understand Dean. He has promised to help Vincent. But today he didn\'t take a stand."
"If he used the truth-seeking artifact, the faces of those people would have been torn into pieces," He added further.
Sigh~
A sigh escaped from Elder Galvin\'s mouth. Unlike Gilbert. He understood the difficulty of the dean. The only people who could make him like that were the powerhouses.
The bloodline powerhouses are greater in numbers. So to say, they can stand against the rest of the halls alone.
If anything happens to the bloodline hall, it may damage the strength of the academy. These things he can only say to himself. But not to Gilbert.
"Gilbert, just listen. It\'s not easy to accuse them. The background of those 2 halls is strong. At least, the dean knows that our hall member was innocent in this issue."
"This is the balance he can make. At the same time, the weapon hall people also gave up pursuing this issue."
"So I don\'t think the dean will use the artifact tomorrow. If I\'m right, he is going to give the same old speech tomorrow," Elder Galvin added.
Hearing that Gilbert\'s mouth twitches.
"What about the brat?" Elder Galvin asked.
They were keeping an eye on Vincent\'s performance earlier. But because of Carolina\'s issue. Both of them almost forgot about it.
Gilbert Reese\'s eyes gleamed with a twinkle. The only thing that can brighten everyone\'s mood was Vincent\'s performance.
Gilbert accessed the leaderboard rankings. He quickly saw Vincent\'s rankings. Seeing that the 50th floor was cleared as well.
"He made it," He said.
"Good"
"Good" Elder Galvin uttered twice. He was truly happy. At least in Vincent\'s matter, no hall can interfere. Because the Trial is happening inside the Battle Tower.
So there was no place for their crooked methods and devious schemes.
The Bloodline Hall,
Tony Burnett collapsed on the ground and gasped for breath. The people from the Council House have left, leaving the matters in the hands of the black-dressed women.
There are factions in the Bloodline Hall. The faction of the black-dressed women was strong. There was no point in offending here. Council house people are clever.
They understood the matter was related to the black-dressed women. So they left without making a noise.
When everyone was gone. The black-dressed women once again checked the surroundings making sure there was no eavesdropping.
After making sure everything was fine, she turned to Tony Burnett.
"Do you realize?"
"What have you done?" She asked. Her voice was so cold sending deep chills to everyone\'s spine.
Tony Burnett shuddered. His ending was fixed. But to gain a painless death, he has to answer her.
"Forgive me," He answered in a trembling voice.
The black-dressed woman snorted. But she was not clear about the events.
So she asked, "Tell me what happened from the beginning. And don\'t lie to me. I will know."
Tony\'s body trembled in fright. He knew the black-dressed woman was scary. There was no need to doubt her.
Tony adjusted his body and started to explain things from the start.
A few minutes later,
He finished saying everything and waited for her verdict. The black-dressed women\'s eyes flickered.
Earlier, she thought Tony had killed the weapon hall wizard out of anger. But now she is confused about something. Why did the weapon hall wizard want to kill the Sub-Taboo Hall wizard?
She asked, "Do you know?"
"What is he doing there?"
Tony\'s eyes dimmed a little. Even he was surprised by Henry Barlow\'s act. Someone must have instructed him.
Then he thought of something, looking at her he replied, "Earlier, he challenged Vincent Carey to a duel. But because of the Trial, Vincent rejected him."
"Maybe Henry thought of attacking people around him. So that Vincent can fight against him," Tony added further.
The Black dressed women remained. She feels something fishy. When do wizard students have such courage?
Tony is doing it. Because he is following the instructions. So does it mean the Weapon Hall is planning something else? Her eyes flickered.
Anyway, she is going to inform her superior. Let them deal with it.
"Wait for your punishment," After saying that she disappeared from the spot.
Phew~
Tony Burnett heaved a sigh of relief. He can now live for a few days.
...
From MC\'s perspective:
After getting ready, I opened the academy site to view the news. Soon the news feed comes up. All the interesting things that have happened lately are posted online.
I started to scroll down the miscellaneous articles. Soon, I saw the articles about me. Yesterday\'s 50th clearance has already become a hot topic.
Then I started to go through the articles. Suddenly, I couldn\'t help but furrow my eyebrows. The article writer was pessimistic.
He doesn\'t think that I can clear the remaining rounds. It\'s understandable. Only those who had experienced the Trial know the difficulty of the floors.
Unless you have special awakened magic or combat prowess. It\'s difficult to survive the Trials.
Then I started to scroll down the page. A strange headline caught my eye.
[Henry Barlow\'s silent preparation?]
My eyes flickered. I had rejected his duel request. Even if he comes back to ask again, my response would be the same.
After spending a few more minutes online, I decided to leave.
I left the room and walked out of the dorm building. While walking, I couldn\'t help but think about food. Lately, I have been skipping meals.
