(From MC's perspective)
The Yellow River Academy,
Battle Tower,
Seeing that everyone recovered from the small episode. My lips curved into a gentle arc. I slowly stride towards the Battle Tower.
Wizards were coming and going. So my appearance didn't cause any waves. Unless there is a significant change in rankings. People won't care about other things.
After passing through the crowd, I got closer to the tower. There is a huge entrance door in front of . I see wizards are directly stepping inside. There is no verification done before entering the Tower.
So I confidently took a step forward to enter.
Creak
The door opened automatically. Then I stepped inside. Before I could realize it, I got shifted to a separate space.
"This," I uttered.
[Wizard's na: Vincent Carey]
[Wizard Rank: Level -2]
[Magic: Gravity]
[Hall: Sub-Taboo]
[House: Outer House]
[House Rank: 12th]
[Floor: None]
[Reminder: The Battle Tower challenge starts in 10 minutes.]
A display screen appeared all of a sudden. Seeing the row of information, my heart skips a beat. Because I didn't even verify my I.D
So how co my information appeared out of nowhere? I turned around and took a look at the surroundings.
There is nothing but space around . Seeing that, I couldn't control my inner curiosity in . The Battle Tower is a powerful magic artifact. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain this function.
Shaking my head, I retracted my thoughts. Then my gaze fell on the floor. Which I believe has to do with floor clearance.
Lara White had cleared the 80th floor in Inner House. So higher the floor clearance, the higher the rank. Finally, I got relaxed and ready to tackle the challenge.
Especially the 10 minutes allocated for a newcor to think.
After 10 minutes, the nightmare will officially start.
10 minutes later,
[Challenge Starts!]
[Floor No.1]
A row of information appeared the next second. Seeing that, I looked ahead. The environnt changed completely. Instead of space, now the environnt changed into vast open plains.
Before I could get awed by it. I heard a vibration sound from the ground. I instantly realize sothing is rushing towards .
After a few seconds, I see the appearance of the monster. A huge wild boar is dashing towards . A row of information appeared on top of the boar's head.
[Giant Wild Boar- 2nd Order Monster]
Seeing that a quick glint flashed in my eyes.
Next second, I pointed my finger at the incoming monster and said, "Gravity Field"
The next second, a trendous force descended from above. The incoming monster didn't have ti to react; it turned into minced at the very next second.
[Floor 1: Cleared]
[Current Floor count: 1]
[Next Challenge starts in 5 seconds!]
Seeing the next row of information. A look of understanding dawned upon . As I guessed earlier, maximum floor clearance will get
into the top ranks.
5 seconds later,
[Challenge Starts!]
[Floor No:2]
The vast open plains didn't change. Rather I heard more than one vibration from the ground.
Two Giant Wild Boar monsters rushed towards
in two different directions. This ti it's not blind rushing. I see so coordination.
Both monsters seem to run at the sa pace. A look of bewildernt appeared on my face. I thought the 2nd floor would have a different monster. But it looks like it's just a simple increase in numbers.
Seeing the monster getting closer to . I raised my hand once again to cast the spell.
"Gravity Field," I said.
Again, a trendous force appeared as a result of the spell. When the two monsters stepped inside the gravity field. The body burst into pieces and their parts were splattered on the ground.
[Floor 2: Cleared]
[Current Floor count: 2]
[Next Challenge starts in 5 seconds!]
The feeling is getting almost real. But I know these were just phantoms of the monsters. Not the real ones.
Because I had never heard of a Boar species of that size before. It is completely new to .
5 seconds later,
[Challenge Starts!]
[Floor No:3]
This ti I'm sure the number will be three. Does it make any difference to ? The answer is No. But it's different for wizards from other streams.
Especially for power-type wizards. They have no other choice other than to engage in lee combat against the monsters. So the situation is quite favorable to .
Swish!
A similar scene repeated. This ti three Giant Wild Boar Monsters appeared again. But I felt bored using the sa spell again.
For a change, I decided to use another spell.
I pointed my fingers at incoming monsters and said, "Gravity Push"
The instant spell cast was so fast that the incoming monsters froze like a statue seconds later.
The next second, their body was thrown away like broken kites. The monster's body has already been crushed under the gravity force. There is no strand of vitality left.
[Floor 3: Cleared]
[Current Floor count: 3]
[Next Challenge starts in 5 seconds!]
Ti passed in a blink of an eye,
I successfully cleared consecutive floors very quickly.
15 minutes later,
[Floor 9: Cleared]
[Current Floor count: 9]
[Next Challenge starts in 5 seconds!]
Finally, I'm going to reach the double number count. I have to say though, fighting against the sa monsters is a little bit boring.
But the difficulty has risen after more monsters started to coordinate with each other. Thankfully, I'm a control wizard. So I was able to control the monster freely.
If I want to go all out, then the challenge will beco too easy. I can use upgraded gravitational force to destroy all the monsters in my way.
But that thod is not going to improve my battle awareness. I decided to stop relying on it. Before coming to the academy, I made up my mind to use the upgraded gravity power only in a desperate situation.
Other than that, I'm going to use my level-2 rank spell.
Swish!
When I was lost in thoughts, the monster's sound got
back to reality. This ti there are 10 monsters.
A small smile appeared on my face.
Unlike the last 9 tis, this ti the monsters didn't take the initiative to attack . The monsters were casually sizing
instead. To make them act like this, I wonder whether the previous battles were recorded in the monsters' mory.
Otherwise, there is no need for them to show such caution. A curiosity piqued in my heart.
For this kind of situation, the Gravity Pull Spell seems useful. So without waiting further, I raised my hand to cast the spell again.
"Gravity Pull," I said.
Swish!
I feel the horrible change. I beca the center of attraction where the gravity power pulls down everyone to .
"Rrroooaaarrr"
The monster let out a wild scream. But it's late to escape now. I see four monsters imdiately get closer to .
I clenched my fist and punched one monster.
Pfff
When my fist landed on the monster's head. The skull crushed like a waterlon. My fist easily tore through its head. The brain parts were spilled.
I dealt with the other three monsters similarly. It has been a long ti since I relied on my body strength. But it's enough to fight against 2nd order monsters.
After finishing the four monsters, I looked at the other six monsters. I decided to use a similar thod to pull down other monsters.
A few minutes later,
Outside,
Nobody noticed the changes in the leaderboard ranking. Where Sub-Taboo Hall's Outer House ranking is getting higher as ti goes on.
[LEADERBOARD]
[OUTER HOUSE]
[No.9 - chanical Hall]
[No.10 - Sub-Taboo Hall] ^
[No. 11- Research Hall]
[No. 12 - dical Hall]
Suddenly, the groups from the chanical Hall noticed the rank changes. Because they were ranked in 9th position. And the symbol next to the na shows that soone from Sub-Taboo Hall is currently challenging the tower.
The chanical wizards started to murmur among themselves. Because the Sub-Taboo Hall is not an ordinary Hall.
Every wizard in that Hall is a notable powerhouse. So they are afraid of offending wizards from Sub-Taboo Hall.
But it doesn't an it stopped their curiosity. Everyone wants to know who is the newcor making such a noise.
Everyone saw it's the Outer House
ranking.
Apart from newcors, no one can change the rankings of Sub-Taboo Hall.
Sub- Taboo Hall,
Several minutes ago,
The deadly Vine Wizard, Carolina Slate is working in the Hall. Apart from her, there is no one in the Hall.
She has been taking care of the office work lately. That's why she has no other choice but to make so frequent visits to Hall.
Beep!
Carolina Slate who is operating the computer system. Suddenly, I received a ssage from the Battle Tower server.
At first, she didn't take it seriously. She thought so other Hall is making so progress in ranks.
Beep!
After a few seconds, she received one more notification. Even at this ti, she didn't care to read.
But when a few more notifications ca. It imdiately attracted her attention. "Which Hall is making such a noise?" She muttered to herself.
When she finally noticed the na her eyes lit up with surprise.
