Chapter 860: Part 1: Next big event
Capital City:
When the news about Vincent Carey's return started spreading in the academy. It didn't take much time for the outside world to know.
Especially those families settled in the Capital City. The news reached their ears sooner. As their descendants are studying in 3 big academies.
So this kind of information never escapes from their eyes.
In a few hours, the whole Capital City was aware of it. Those who didn't know about Vincent Carey were amazed by the news.
Soon, the news reaches the ears of other 2 academies as well. They thought someone rescued Vincent Carey during the turmoil in the Adamont Canyon.
Still, the information is not clear about the whole incident. They only knew Vincent's return. But they don't know what happened in between.
As the information starts to spread in the Capital. It didn't take much of the time for the spies to collect the news. They quickly reported it back to the dark league.
Dark League HQ:
Inside the dark tower, the old man shrouded in shadows hears the news. His expression was ugly. He thinks the same as the other 2 academies.
Vincent Carey wouldn't have returned to the academy. Unless someone helped him behind the scenes. He had thought that the dark league had overall control over the situation.
Now, he thinks that Yellow River Academy has outsmarted them.
"Yellow River Academy?" He muttered to himself.
Not only that kid has gotten away safely. But he also has the Gravity treasure. This means the Dark League has ended up making wedding dresses for others.
Thinking about it, a murderous glint flashes in his eyes. It's unbelievable that the kid can escape alive from their calculation.
Beep!
Suddenly, the magic scroll in his robe starts to vibrate. Sensing that he immediately picked up the scroll and put it on the table before opening it.
The old man was nervous. Because this was not an ordinary scroll. But a messenger scroll was given by the Meteor Country's Supreme Wizard.
Now this thing is vibrating. Which means the other party is sending the message right now.
The red letters started appearing in the scroll. In the blink of an eye, a whole message appeared.
[Return my Gravity Treasure or Complete the task]
[Time limit: One month]
Reading the content, the old man's expression turned uglier. He wasn't surprised by the message but the time limit made him frown.
The Meteor Country's Supreme Wizard is not an ordinary wizard. If things don't go as he wishes, he is capable of doing something against them.
"The brat is now safe in the academy. How can we kill him?"The old man grunted.
Earlier, when he got in touch with the Meteor Country's Supreme Wizard. He thought about adding one more powerful connection to their circle.
Now he slightly regrets it. Then he closed the scroll before stuffing it into the robe. Even though their primary plan has failed.
It's not like they have incurred heavy losses. This time their members have succeeded in killing the wizards of the 3 big academies.
He knows those who came to the Adamont Canyon were all Elite of Elites. But still, quite several wizards died in members' hands.
Even the small-time members succeeded in hitting the merchant companies. He has read the reports of the Black Metal Company.
Which was quite satisfactory. It's a pity that they weren't able to touch the main target.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
"Wait a second!"
"Aren't they planning to conduct a competition between the 3 academies? Then that kid will participate," The old man's eyes shone with bright light.
The Meteor Country's Supreme Wizard gave him one month. So the dark league has a chance to target that kid again. He doesn't think that kid will escape this time.

From MC's perspective:
Sub-Taboo Hall,
I'm quietly listening to Carolina. At the same time, digesting the information. Nothing abnormal happened during my absence.
A hint of relief flashes in my eyes. Then she changed the topic and talked about other miscellaneous things.
An hour later,
I went to the library. I picked up history and geography books of the world before finding a private spot to read.
After opening the book, I started reading. I have already visited Tolu Country and Meteor County. Both of them are not friendly countries. I won't visit that country unless it's necessary.
Last time, I selected one country on my bucket list. Which is a shadow country. It's a lawless and chaotic country.
Which is a suitable place for me. Where I can be like a fish in the water. But it's wise to have plan B. Apart from the shadow country. I have to select a few other countries.
Our world is huge. Not all the countries and power structures are mentioned in the book. As a level-6 wizard, I have already come in contact with some of the world's secrets.
For example, the Adventure Union and Magic Union. These 2 organizations are behemoths. But their HQ is not located in our country.
At least, Adventure Union has branches all over the world. But the Magic Union doesn't.
When I turned the pages in the geography book. It has only recorded the information of 50 or so countries which includes the Shadow Country and other forbidden places and ruins.
Then I got up and went to check the other geography books.
20 minutes later,
A quick gleam flashes in my eyes. Earlier, there was a doubt. Now, I'm sure that some deep secrets are hidden by the academy.
"Magic Union?" I muttered to myself. What kind of place is that? From the name, I can tell that it's related to wizards. It must be some kind of grouping or council.
I shook my head. It's too far away for me. Then I decided to look for the forbidden places. Maybe I should find fortune in forbidden places. I have Gregor Mansion with me.
It doesn't matter how dangerous it is. I can hide inside the Gregor Mansion.
