Gravity Mage with Level-Up System

Then looking at Vincent he answered," Since you are a part timer, you will get 1000 alliance currency per month. It may increase further depending upon your performance."

My lips curve a little hearing his answer. 1000 Alliance currency is enough for me to do a lot of things. I enthusiastically said, "Captain, from when I can start my work."

"Starting from tomorrow evening you can begin your work. Next morning, I\'ll send the details of our informers to your contact. That\'s all for today, you can go back home. I\'ll contact you tomorrow." Captain Tyler answered in a calm tone.

Today\'s meeting discussion came to an end. He just asked Vincent to come here to mainly meet his team mates. But it didn\'t go well, so he doesn\'t want this awkward situation to continue. That\'s why he asked Vincent to leave.

Expression of the other four members was filled with regret as they failed to hold the big thigh. Since there is no medicine for regret they can only hope to slowly ease down things between Vincent and them.

I nodded and left the place after hearing that. It\'s already getting late, I bet when I reach home, it will be past the dinner time. I need to mentally prepare myself to hear mum\'s scolding.

Fortunately, there is a train to my home available this time. So, I need not waste any more time at the station.

Several hours later, I reached home. As expected it had already passed the dinner time. To convince them I had already thought of a lie.

As I walk closer to the door, I can hear loud discussions happening inside the room. Where my mum\'s voice is overwhelming the other two voices. No need to guess the topic of discussion is me.

"Creak" The door slid opens

I was greeted by thunderous scolding in my ears. "Vincent, where have you been?" Mom Lila Carey questioned in an angrier tone. The other two family members sat leisurely on the couch.

"Mom, I went to Claudia Gym. I was so immersed in practice that I even forgot the time." I said while stretching my arms. My physical strength needs to be increased, though I don\'t feel any fatigue. But I feel uncomfortable due to sudden train travel.

Hearing the answer Mo Lila stopped her scolding for a moment. For a moment, she feels it might be true. But when her eyes set on his dress. She asked again, "You went to Claudia Gym in school uniform"

"Damn!" As I lowered my gaze, I realized I was in my school dress. I usually change my clothes before going outside. But this time due to urgency, I went directly to headquarters after leaving school.

"Huh, yes mom. I find mana-filled chambers useful for me. Especially, my earth grade mental method is very efficient by absorbing high rich mana inside the chamber." I said it in one breath. Though everything I said is true, it\'s not the real reason. Yet it perfectly fits the situation.

I can see mum\'s face eased a little after hearing my words.

But at this time Brian Carey interjected by saying, "If it\'s true then where did you get your money for Claudia Gym. Everyone knows it\'s expensive. Even it\'s hard for me to go there twice a week."

"This guy..." I looked at him angrier. This guy is my brother, he is supposed to help me in this situation. Instead he is making me angry. Does he feel jealous when I tell him about Claudia\'s gym? Good guy, I looked at him again. Seeing his uncomfortable expression, I feel this might be the case.

I immediately defended myself by saying, "I started to save money after my failure in first awakening. Thankfully, these savings are helping me now" I said in a low tone while revealing a small smile on my face.

"Hmmm" Father Brad Carey nodded his head in approval hearing my answer.

Then without waiting for anyone to reply, I immediately ran upstairs towards my room. I hope my small act will make them drop this matter. Instead I feel my brother will get some scolding.

After getting into my room, I locked the door and the next moment I jumped on my bed to lay down comfortably. Thinking about my earlier performance, I feel they had completely believed my lie except my brother.

"Sigh"

What savings? If I really had made those savings, then I wouldn\'t have to rely on part time jobs right now. After my failure in my first awakening two years ago, I had spent my entire savings on fast food, snacks and drinks. My whole life revolved around binge watching at that time. I totally become nonexistent and low key.

Thank goodness, my fortunes have turned around this year. I don\'t have to go back to that kind of life anymore.

At this time in downstairs,

When Vincent walked away from them towards his room. Mom Lila Carey clearly pissed off watching her first son Brian. She clearly remembered those days when Vincent was broken. Even they too felt pain thinking about his future. At that they were really scared by thinking Vincent won\'t be able to awaken his power forever.

Fortunately things have changed now, looking at her son she said, "Brian, you really said  too much. Did you forget what happened in those days?" She is disappointed with Brian\'s thinking.

Brian stunned hearing his mum\'s scolding. "Mom, I was just asking casually?" Brian tries to convince her. But she snorted and walked towards the kitchen.

Seeing that Brian called out, "Mom?" But she didn\'t answer.

Brian turned around and asked his father, "Dad? What\'s wrong with my question? I have never seen him saving any money. Don\'t you think it\'s a lie?" Brian thought his father might be the best person to reason.

Hearing his son\'s nagging, Brad Carey commented, "I don\'t know about his savings. But I know what he said about the efficiency of the earth grade mental method is true."

Brian was at loss hearing that, "No way" he uttered.

The following day,

I woke up pretty early. After finishing my morning practice, I went to take a bath. Sometimes later, when I got ready for school. I walked downstairs to have breakfast. Usually, Mages won\'t have much appetite with mana filled food as an exception.

But still it has become a daily habit, so we eat light food. Yet in school it\'s completely different. They make mana food for lunch. But it\'s very expensive. 100 alliance currency / plate. Most of the rich people consume mana food three times a day.

After sitting in my seat, an image of fatty Lucas flashes before my eyes. This guy… if he consumes mana food eight times a day. I won\'t be surprised.

Then I glanced at nearby tables, I was the first one to come here. Slowly, I heard footsteps. I shifted my gaze towards that area. It was none other than my good old brother. He is coming while yawning.

Without minding him, I began to check out the social media sites. Yesterday, while talking to Fatty, he told me something interesting. There is a group of people who have become popular recently. Most of them were mages, amongst them few were teens, high school students like us.

Earlier, I was confused when fatty said that. But he told me that they were popular due to their magic. A high school student named Ricky has become popular due to his rare darkness variant, shadow magic power. Due to popularity that guy is earning big in commercials.

Compared to that guy, my part time job is nowhere. But my gravity power is no less than his shadow magic. While pondering, I begin to surf. But at this time "Cough" "Cough" Father Brad Carey joins for breakfast.

Seeing that all of them came, Mom Lila Carey began to serve. While eating they didn\'t bring yesterday\'s topic to the table. Lila Carey\'s eyes filled with worry. Yesterday she urged Vincent many times to eat some before sleeping. But Vincent refused.

But now looking at him eating food without any worry. Her expression eased down a little bit.

After finishing my plate, I bid bye to mum and dad before going to school.

Several minutes later,

I reached the school premise. Seeing the school gate, images of those three flashes before my eyes. "I don\'t know whether they had recovered or not" I mumbled under my breath while stepping inside the school.

While walking, I called fatty. Usually Lucas would wait for me at the school gate. But there is no silhouette of him. What happened?  As I\'m pondering it, the call is connected.

I asked, "Lucas, Where are you?"

"Ahem, Vincent, I\'m on leave today." Fatty Lucas said with somewhat hesitation in his mind.
