(From Mc Perspective)
Both Fatty and I parted our ways after leaving the school. Before coming out, I strongly advised him to get necessary help as possible. If two big factions joined their hands together, then deterrence will be much more effective. In future, The School Management will think twice before reversing the situation.
While walking along the road, I felt fortunate that I had contact information about Mr. John Meyers. He is a Level-5 Fire Mage. So far other than him, I didn't come across any Level 5 Mage. Even in this school, I hadn't heard about the existence of Level-5 Mage. So it's a rare existence.
That's why I put my hopes on him. If Mr. John Meyers decides to agree then it will be good. But I don't think he will directly choose to act. I heard from Dad, Level-5 Mages hold important positions in various factions. So, I don't hope for his direct presence. It's enough to send some lower level officials from Yellow River Academy for help.
"I'll call him after dinner." I muttered under my breath while walking towards my home.
Coming back to those 4 students from Class A1, it seems their luck is strong. Right now, I'm focussed on this plan. If there is any opportunity in the future. I will definitely hack them into pieces. A small smile rose on my lips while thinking about the future development.
Though Vincent's home is walkable distance from here. It takes precisely 15 minutes by walking. And the route to Vincent's home is not a straight path, He needs to walk past multiple streets to get home.
Three Streets away from here,
Marcus Egger, lvl. 1 Knife Mage. He is prepared to kill Vincent Carey. He came here at this street corner an hour ago. Before coming here, He had already inspected Vincent Carey's home. After checking that there were multiple routes from Little Star High Gate School to Vincent Carey's home.
The old Marcus Egger selected the shortest path. He had read intel reports about Vincent Carey. Which also shows that Vincent Carey used to walk by this shorter path and rarely chooses the other routes to reach his home.
On top of its, this shorter path turns out most feasible place for assassination. The old man had a wide grin on his face earlier when he realized. Right now, the old man is standing at the corner in disguise. And the people walking past him treat him as a beggar. It's common for people to see old beggars on the street. So they don't suspect the old man.
Authorities choose to turn blind eye, as long as they don't cause any disturbance. But no one would have guessed that this feeble looking old beggar is a notorious rogue mage in disguise. The reason for this is his disguise is impeccable.
On the both sides of the old man Marcus, there were two high end electronic shops. Due to such a luxurious shop, not many people can be seen buying products from here. Right now both shops appear lonely. People working inside rarely notice any changes happening outside.
As there is no history of violence happening in their street, their mind set right now is without vigilance. The security cameras of both shops unfortunately don't have scope to cover many distances. So the street corner happened to be blind spot for the security cameras.
Right now, the old man Marcus glanced at his watch. Seeing the time, he chuckled, "Common Kid, Don't be late. I have lot of things riding on you." He had already made a list of things that he needed to ask from Master Kilian.
Though the normal task rewards for 1 Star Missions were not so popular. But instead he got a promise from Master Kilian. Since the Master insists this mission is important to him. Then he will be happy, if I complete the mission without any glitch. The old man Marcus is slowly fantasising things.
At this point of time, Vincent reached the second cross street, One street away from the killer.
"Hmmm, Why is it getting uneasy all of sudden?" I massaged my temple in confusion. My every plan is going smoothly, there is nothing to worry about. Then why I'm getting a bad vibe out of nowhere. Feeling such a vibe, I slowed down my pace.
I looked around to see whether any restaurant was operating here. Other than grocery shops there is no food shop around here, feeling disappointed I moved away.
One remedy to remove the bad vibes is to fill your stomach. If I ate my favourite dish, I don't think the vibe would linger around me. I cracked a smile while thinking about food. "Well, I'll ask Mum to cook something for me" I made up my mind and increased my pace to reach home.
The old man Marcus glances at everyone who walks past him. But his actions received disdain from people. Yet none of them went to confront the people. It's a coincidence or what, the old man yet to meet a Mage.
This street is located close to the Magic School. So it's common for students to walk with their Mage Parents some time. But the old man Marcus is prepared for every situation. As a lvl.1 Mage, he is almost ant like existent to Mid or High level Mages. On top of it, the old man is also cautious. He hides his mana fluctuations in his body from getting exposed. So he is suceed in creating perfect assassination environment.
5 minutes later,
As the old man Marcus patiently waits for his prey, the other hand Vincent Carey is also heading here fast. Right now, Vincent Carey's mind was occupied with different delicacies.
Suddenly, the old man Marcus caught a glimpse of a silhouette slowly getting here.
The person appears to be young. He is wearing a blue uniform with an exclusive school badge on his chest. He is none other than Vincent Carey.
The old man Marcus grinned evilly. After confirming the person is exactly the prey. His expression turned serious. Inorder to make sure the target won't be missed. He observes the surroundings. Then he once again looks at Vincent whether he is coming alone or someone is following him.
After confirming that he is alone, the old man's expression eased. Not only around Vincent, the atmosphere here is cold. At this time, there are no pedestrians walking right now. The old man Marcus got only a couple of seconds in his hands to make a perfect killing.
If he wastes any more seconds, the chances of people appearing will increase further.
Realizing that the old man made a decision. He straightened his crooked posture.
"Magic Knife"
A Black knife materializes in his hands as he slowly casts the spell. Like a veteran he hides the knife in his sleeve as a hidden weapon.
As Vincent is getting here step by step, the old man gazes at his heart. The heart is the most important vital point for humans. As for Mages the heart is even more important, it's location of Mana Core.
pαпᵈα-noνɐ1·сoМ Any damage to Mana Core will cripple Mage and cut off his Mage Path. In the worst case scenario, it even leads to death. Even if the old man misses any chance for insta-kill, as long as he causes injury to his Mana Core. Then Vincent will be crippled. And the result is the same as killing him. No one cares to beat a dead snake.
Finally, Vincent reaches a few meters closer to him. A ruthless cold glint flashes in the old man's eyes.
The other hand, Vincent Carey, who seems to be in his own world, finally awakens.
"This!" My senses suddenly alarmed.
The bad feeling finally materializes. As my senses screamed at me, I realised that it is the source of a bad vibe.
"Ding! Host stepped in a hostile atmosphere."
"Ding! Enemy is detected."

Seeing the status panel appearing in front of me suddenly, I'm aware of this abacus. Last time the status panel suddenly popped up when Bruce Spear took a first shot at me.
Recalling that old incident, I used my full strength to move backwards. While moving backwards I caught a glimpse of the killer, there is only one person around me here. Old beggar? I frowned when I looked at his appearance.
But I have got full trust in system. "This guy is a ghost!" I gritted my teeth. After glancing at the status panel, I realized there is no chance for direct confrontation.
An enemy from Poison Dagger? I immediately thought about Captain Tyler. "Damn, I'm just a part timer." In that instant I made decision to flee towards the crowded area.
