YM778.TV Chapter 557 Part 2: Various Reactions
The scar-faced warrior named Ren shook his head in disappointment.
"Matt, we are wasting time here. If we had picked up some other missions, we would have gained riches," Ren replied.
The wizard named Matt decided to convince him.
"I know what you are worried about. But think about it. If we accomplish this particular mission. Then we can raise our ranks further and get a doubled reward as well."
"But if we let go of this opportunity, then someone else will do it."
Matt was clear in his thoughts. Someone had offered a hefty amount for Vincent Carey\'s head. On top of it, their organization itself wants that kid dead.
So accomplishing 2 objectives in one mission will raise their reputation further.
"I heard that a kid is participating in Trial. So he won\'t be coming out for some time," Red added with a dejected face.
"From whom did you hear it from?\' Matt asked.
Both of them have been hiding low in this city for some time. Because their level-6 presence can be easily sensed by higher-level wizards in this city.
He worried that Ren would do something against the plans.
The scar-faced Ren suddenly smiled.
"I captured level-5 wizard students from their academy. Presumably, that kid Vincent Carey\'s news is the hot topic in their academy," Ren said.
Matt sighed inwardly.
He asked back, "Did you let him go?"
Ren hurriedly replied, "After interrogation, I didn\'t touch him."
"Alright, we should wait for a few more days," Matt said.

The Weapon Palace:
A beautiful girl with sweats all over her body is practicing hard.
From time to time, ice-blue sparks are released from her magic weapon.
Suddenly, someone barged into her practice room.
"Victoria, I got the news that you want," A tomboy girl made an appearance. She is carrying a heavy shield behind her back.
Hearing that, Victoria paused her movements before turning towards her.
"Miley, is that true?" Victoria asked back.
Miley stood cross-armed before nodding her head.
"Yes, I got the news. But something else is confusing me," Miley said.
Victoria walked up to her and asked, "What is it?"
"The person that you have mentioned is a level-5 wizard right now. But not a level-4 wizard."
"Are you sure both of you are from the same school?" Miley asked back.
"What?" A hint of disbelief appeared on Victoria\'s face. For a second, she didn\'t know how to react and stood in the same spot.
She knows about Vincent\'s talent. How could it be possible for him to surpass her? She is a level-4 wizard right now.
That too she broke through recently. But Vincent has gone one step ahead.
"Victoria?" Miley called out her name, seeing her spacing out.
"Are you sure about the name?"
"His name is Vincent Carey," Victoria asked back.
"I\'m 100% sure. His name is Vincent Carey. He has gravity magic power. He is a member of the Sub-Taboo Hall."
"Recently, there is news coming up. That he is undergoing some kind of trial," Miley sounded impatient.
But seeing Victoria\'s shocked reaction. She confirms that both of them are classmates. A level-5 wizard ah?
Even in their Weapon Palace Academy, the level-5 wizards hold lofty status. It\'s not good to offend them.
On the other hand, Victoria\'s heart was not calm. Her heart is raging with the storms. Before graduating from the academy, she thought about 2 people.
Brent Dale and Danny Quinn. Both of them are ahead of her back in the class. But right now, she thinks Vincent must have been hiding his skills back then.
Seeing that Victoria is dispirited. Miley patted her shoulder.
"Don\'t think too much. There are many examples like your friend in our academy. Take one step at a time. You will eventually reach level 5," Miley said.
Hearing that Victoria retracted her thoughts. She was finally able to calm down herself.

From MC\'s perspective:
Floor-78th
Looking at the remaining two falcon monsters on the ground. I instructed the system to probe the details.
[Ding! The Host\'s voice is recognized]
[Status Panel]
[Name: Blue Ice Falcon]
[Level: 6th-Order- Peak]
[Strength: 575(-480)]
[Vitality: 578(-478)]
[Speed: 576(-478)]
[Stamina: 578(-483)]
[Skill: ICE Breath, Temperature Freeze, Cold Hurricane, and Fast Healing.]
The row of information appeared before my eyes. Seeing that the monster was on the verge of death. I sighed inwardly.
Then I turned towards the 2nd monster.
"System, probe the monster," I said to the system.
[Ding! The Host\'s voice is recognized]
[Status Panel]
[Name: Blue Ice Falcon]
[Level: 6th-Order- Peak]
[Strength: 575(-365)]
[Vitality: 578(-367)]
[Speed: 576(-364)]
[Stamina: 578(-369)]
[Skill: ICE Breath, Temperature Freeze, Cold Hurricane, and Fast Healing.]
The status panel appeared. Seeing that the monster has some strength left. I cast the magic spell again.
"Gravity Field," I uttered.
A powerful gravitational force appeared within the field. The 2 falcons have their wings broken. The metallic feathers won\'t be able to protect its body.
Screech~
Both the monsters screamed in pain. Seeing that I contained the mana.
The gravity magic easily penetrates the injured area. Making even more serious damage to their body.
The vitality of the monster begins to decrease at a faster rate.
After a few minutes, the monster died one after another. The gravitational force completely broke their injured body.
[Floor Cleared: 78]
[The next challenge starts in 15 minutes]
The announcement came. Right after, I found myself in the black space.
A recovery potion appeared. I placed it in my storage bracelet before waiting silently for the next floor.
15 minutes later,
Floor: 79
I appeared back on the ice field again. As usual, the monster birds screaming already reached my ears. I\'m ready to get bruised again.
Shortly after, I saw several falcons flying towards me. The monsters started releasing their attack one after another.
Seeing that I waited for the monsters to enter the spell-casting range. But even before that cold attack reached me.
The magic cloak of mine was already damaged. I thought it would help me to clear the remaining trials.
But the ice attack made it impossible to withstand. So without proper defense, it\'s not wise to confront the attack directly.
