Chapter 384 Leaving?
From MC's perspective:
After entering the Sub-Taboo Hall. I met sister Carolina and spoke to her. Surprisingly, she wasn't aware that the recent changes took place in the mystic ruins.
But she was clear about the dangers of hiding in the mystic ruins. Yesterday she was completely alright about the special class's trials.
But now she starts to raise many doubts. In order not to worry her anymore, I changed the topic.
Then I spent a few minutes talking to her before leaving the hall. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to meet Senior Gilbert. But I texted him about the trial tomorrow.
Shortly after, I returned to my room and began to take some rest. I have no idea what is going to happen tomorrow. I'm just hoping that the trial would be meaningful without that many dangers.
The following day,
I woke up earlier. Right after that, I started to do my morning routine. After finishing that, I sat cross-legged on the ground to meditate.
When I started to run the gravity ark method. The gravity mana particles started to gather around me from the surroundings.
As the mana entered my body, I guided the energy according to the mental method. After circulation, the purified mana settles down inside the mana core.
Feeling the increase in strength, I continued to repeat the process.
Time passed in a blink of an eye,
I opened my eyes three hours later after feeling the limit. Then I felt the beaming energy coursing through my veins.
"System, show me the status panel," I said to the system.

[Title: Lord of Gregor Manson.]

A wide status panel appeared in front of my eyes. My eyes immediately scanned the details. After going through each attribute, I closed the status panel.
There is nothing wrong with daily meditation. I have to prepare other life-saving items before going to the Special Class.
Then I got up from the ground and went to take a bath.
Several minutes later,
I changed into new clothes and I wore an academy mage robe on top of my shirt. Then I took the magic cloak from the system and wore it.
This magic cloak is one of the most powerful defense items. It's enough to safeguard my life in terrible situations.
After getting ready and making sure of it everything is fine. I left the room and walked toward the dining hall to have breakfast.
On the way, I see many wizards coming and going. From their looks, I see not many people were aware of the news. I thought people would have already spread the news about the mystic ruins trial.
But strangely everything seems alright. Shaking my head, I pushed down these thoughts and walked inside the dining hall.
Like always, I received the food from the counter and found an empty seat to sit down on.
Time passed,
9.50 A.M
I walked out of the dining hall and entered the phone booth. After selecting the destination, I waited for the booth to move magically.
A few minutes later,
I stepped out and appeared in the special class environment. To my surprise, some people have already arrived before me.
Then I walked up to the massive iron gate and stood in front of it. My appearance caused a small commotion. But none of them dared to talk to me.
Apart from me, there are 5 other members. I don't know how many of them will come today. Yesterday, my mentor gave everyone a clear warning. If someone fails to participate in the trial then they will be kicked out of the special class.
Which alone tells the seriousness of the matter. Before I could think of a few other warriors arrived right away including Lara White.
Lara White looked unfazed. Ignoring everyone's gazes. She stood quietly like me. But I can tell that she is happy either.
This tells me that mystic ruins won't be a piece of cake for me. When I was lost in thoughts.
Swish!
A silhouette appeared all of a sudden before everyone's eyes. He is none other than. Wizard Lion. He immediately started to scan the students.
This time only 10 wizards have come here. Which shows that others were not interested in the trials. His eyes flickered with a cold glint. He has never thought that the Inner Wizards would be so covered.
After calming down his heart, he observed the rest of them. His gaze fell on Vincent Carey and Lara White. Then his heart eases down a little bit.
He said, "Right now, I'm going to talk about the trials."
"Once you enter the mystic ruins, your job is to collect the passes from other wizards. Before entering the ruins, the passes will be provided to everyone."
"The person who collects the maximum number of the pass will be declared a winner," Wizard Lion said with a smile.
Meanwhile, everyone's expression eases down a little bit. The trial doesn't seem to be that hard. I just have to collect the maximum number of passes to secure 1st place.
"Anything that happens inside the ruins won't spread to the outside world. So be careful of wizards from other places," Wizard Lion said with a smile on his face.
What? No one will know! I raised my eyebrows in confusion. Before I could tell he continued to say further.
"Alright, if you guys are ready we can leave now," He said.
Some of them nodded their heads in response. Before coming here everyone was aware of the situation. The trial is most likely to happen today.
But I don't know how long it will take us to reach the mystic ruins.
Shortly after, everyone followed him to go outside. Wizard Lion came prepared. When we reached the transportation section, we found a few more wizards waiting for us.
But after looking at their appearance. I realized that they are similar to Wizard Lions. Their job is to safely escort us to the mystic ruins. Ten of us become instantly quiet after seeing the powerful wizards.
Then we boarded one of the academy's airships. It's massive in size and can accommodate a maximum number of people easily. After entering inside each found their room to enter.
None of them want to talk in the presence of high-level wizards. Lara White also followed others to enter a private room.
Seeing that everyone is doing their thing. I turned around to find the mentor, Lion. But he was nowhere to be seen. Most likely he is chatting with his peers.
My expression turned gloomy. I wanted to ask whether it's okay to kill someone inside the ruins. I'm sure no one will hand over their pass that easily.
Then shaking my head, I stepped inside my room. The room looked spacious with a single bed, tables, and chairs.
Seeing that I walked up to the bed and laid down comfortably. Then I replied to Sister Carolina's messages. She must be dying to know updates.
After texting her, I started to surf online. I already got enough information about the mystic ruins. But the news about the ruins has increased the pressure instead of reducing it.
Many high-level Wizards die of restrictions inside the ruins. For us low-level wizards it's even more impossible to solve restrictions.
If someone mistakenly triggers the restriction then it will be all over. Even if I want to destroy the restrictions by using gravity magic, it would cause even more damage.
My expression turned solemn. Mentor Lion didn't even elaborate on the dangers inside the ruins. What does the academy want?
Is it just as simple as collecting passes? The more I think about it the more I feel something amiss about it.
After a few minutes, I calmed down. Because I thought of doing something after entering the ruins. Wizard Lion might be hiding something from us.
But it doesn't mean wizards from other places didn't have information. They might know the crucial information. If I can capture one or two people, then I will know everything about the ruins.
When this thought rose in my heart, I felt the plan is more feasible.
