YM778.TV Chapter 196 Part 1: My Wrong Assumption
The classes went on as usual, with little drama. The uproar caused by the new headmaster\'s appointment subsided as well. The students returned to their normal selves too.
BUZZ
The last class of the day ended several hours later. The piercing bell rings throughout the school. Students began to exit the third classroom one by one shortly after.
I walked out of the classroom with Lucas. After leaving the school, we parted ways. I soon found a nearby air car and boarded it.
"Go to the train station," I told the driver.
Before starting the car, the middle-aged driver nodded. The air car rose slowly from the platform before speeding away to the destination.
I looked at the school as it faded from view. When the school was completely out of sight. I sat down comfortably in my seat.
I slowly recalled the events of the day. It was one of those days when you couldn\'t tell when the class started and when it ended.
As if there is no nonsense in between!
Perhaps this sensation is unique to me. Because I had no one to deal with today. Liam Baker and others appeared to be going about their business.
Frank Lambert, the 4th Rank Wizard, and his sidekick, Mathew Hunk, appeared calm and composed. They appeared to have forgotten about previous episodes.
So no one bothered me today. That\'s a little strange. After returning from the Adventurer Union last night. I considered various scenarios, but nothing came to pass.
That doesn\'t mean I\'ll relax my guard and change my plans. The more unexpected things happen, the more uneasy I become.
Although all of my adversaries remained silent today, this does not mean that they have abandoned their malicious plot against me.
After much thought, I concluded that ignoring the facts was more dangerous. My mind immediately recalls Frank Lambert.
Before anyone else, I need to figure out what Frank Lambert\'s plan is against me. He is currently posing a greater threat than the clown Liam.
A quick glint enters my eyes.
Frank does not appear to be simple. So I\'m thinking in my heart that I should get rid of him like former 5th rank wizard Jake House.
However, it is undeniable that multiple disappearances of wizard students will raise suspicions of others. The disappearance of elite wizards from class A1 in particular will have multiple consequences.
If such a disappearance occurs, the wizard organization will be involved, in my opinion. So I have a lot of reservations about killing the other party.
I\'d already killed two of my class\'s wizards. One is a top-rank wizard, while the other is a bottom-ranker. So far, the disappearance of these two has not raised any red flags.
To deal with Frank Lambert and others, killing them is the last thing on my mind.
I can suppress these jumpy clowns at any time as long as I improve my strength.
The air car arrived at its destination quickly. I got out of the car after paying the bill.
After a few minutes,
I boarded the train and took my seat. This time, I messaged my parents honestly about my trip to the Claudia gym. I\'m sure this message will make them feel uneasy.
So I decided to show them my hunting license later. That way, they won\'t have to worry about me unnecessarily.
Then the image of Bob Stokes appears in my mind.
Tomorrow will be an exciting day. I\'m hoping to find the abandoned site on the vast plains. I closed my eyes and decided to wait until the train arrived at its destination after gaining some clarity in my thoughts.
After two and a half hours,
I arrived at the Claudia gym. This time, the office personnel recognized me. So, without much discussion, I reserved the mana chamber for four hours. My balance is now 1000 after I paid 2000 alliance points.
I didn\'t regret spending that much money. Taking into account a 1% increase in core progression/hour inside the mana chamber. This sum of money is insignificant in comparison to such progress.
My chest tightened unexpectedly the next second. It\'s not an injury, but rather a forewarning. Why do I have the feeling that something unexpected is going to happen?
I walked into the hall, shaking my head. I entered the room a few minutes later. I then entered the access code and entered the room.
The door behind me automatically shut.
I felt a vibration shortly after that. I know highly concentrated mana will enter in a few seconds.
When I realized this, I walked to the center and sat cross-legged.
Following that, every second counts, my eyes gleaming with dealing as I consider my future progression.
I closed my eyes and began practicing the Gravity Ark Method.
Time passes,
A few seconds later, highly concentrated mana filled the entire room. As the timer began to tick, I gradually began to immerse myself in my practice method. I began to absorb the grey mana energies that were all around me.
As a result of the Gravity Ark method. The grey mana is absorbed by my body and eventually settles in the mana core region after circulation.
After four hours,
BUZZ
The timer expired, and the mana stopped flowing into the chamber.
When I heard that, I opened my eyes.
I couldn\'t wait to see my status panel the next second. I felt like I had made significant gains in strength.
I decided to check my status with high hopes.
"System, show my stats panel," I instructed the system.

In front of my eyes, a massive status panel appeared. My gaze was drawn immediately to the core progression.
"What?" My head felt like it had been struck by lightning.
My face tightened as I realized there hasn\'t been much improvement in strength as I had hoped.
"What happened?" I told myself.
Then I examined the other characteristics. The increase in attribute points did not surprise me. Some attributes improved by 4 points, while others improved by 3 points.
I believe my week-long practice must have played a role. That\'s why I received four points to boost my strength.
There is a progression in all attributes. But I didn\'t notice any kind of core progression. I meditated for four hours. However, I only saw a 3% increase in core progression.
It shouldn\'t be 1% per hour of core development.
A quick glint enters my eyes.
Then something occurred to me. Only the system has an explanation for this inexplicable situation.
"System, what happened to my core progression?" I thought to myself.
<strong>[Ding! The voice of the Host has been recognized.]</strong>
<strong> </strong>
<strong>[Ding! The host has reached the daily core progression limit.]</strong>
<strong> </strong>
<strong>[Ding! Wait until the next 24 hours for the limit to disappear.]</strong>
I\'m at a loss for words after hearing the words.
As a result, core progression has a daily limit. When I realized what it was, I smiled bitterly.
I went too far in my imagination the last time. I expected a breakthrough after 97 hours of practice in the mana chamber.
Now that I think about it, how naive was I?
I wanted to smack my head against the wall.
What a blunder!
I devised a strategy based on my previous assumption about core progression.
"Damn," I gritted my teeth in frustration.
I can\'t imagine what would happen if I offended someone by thinking I could get a breakthrough after 97 hours of practice inside the mana chamber.
My earlier uneasiness in my heart vanished as a result of this realization. No wonder I had a bad feeling earlier.
My poor judgment could have made me suffer. But, thankfully, I\'ve realized my error.
If everyone with top-tier talent could advance at this rate, Frank, Victoria, Danny, and Brent Dale would have reached level 2 by now.
It\'s no surprise that they\'re still in Class A-1 because the daily core limit slows their progress.
Otherwise, they would have graduated after completing level 2.
However, a 3% increase in the core progression is not a bad thing. However, this is only possible if you have a mana chamber for daily use.
This also led me to believe that the backgrounds of the top wizards were not as frightening as I had imagined.
They may face similar difficulties as I did. Like having difficulty in access to highly concentrated mana.
As I realized the significance, a glint flashed into my eyes. It was an even playing field. So the day is not far away when I will be able to outperform top wizards.
But then I took a look around the room. The Claudia Gym is not only a local tyrant. Above all, it must have a terrifying background. When I realized this, a cold shiver ran down my spine.
