As the smoke finally cleared, Aria was surprised to see Damien smirking at her, he appeared unscathed, with only a few dishevelled strands of hair and a small scratch on the left side of his face. “Tch! I don’t believe the mages of the Great Eight Academies are invincible; I just believe I’m invincible,” Damien said, but Aria was too preoccupied with examining the material of his uniform to pay much attention to his words. Suddenly, Damien seemed to materialize in front of her, his outstretched hand moving to clamp down on her throat. “It seems you’ve finally realized that I’m wearing Tier 5 spirit clothes engraved with defensive and protection runes., so you’ll need more than a weak blow to hurt me,” Damien said as he closed in on her, almost strangling her. Taken aback by his sudden appearance, Aria swiftly deflected Damien’s hand with her left hand, feeling a surge of anger at him as he was still attacking with one-hand,

Selene, Alec, and the rest of the team made their way back to the inn after the battle between the Bloodline Academy and the Crimson Rose Academy. The matches for the day had concluded , with another round set to take place the following day.As they walked, the team engaged in a discussion about the significance of securing a qualification to enter the top 8 rankings, sixteen academies had been invited, with eight based on the previous rankings and another eight added to complete the line-up, this meant they would have to challenge the “Great Eight” to earn a spot.While his teammates were filled with jubilation and a lil celebration, Alec’s thoughts lingered on what he had witnessed in the Colosseum. The power and skills showcased by Damien were enough to qualify him as peak-tier 5 mages, even though he had not officially reached that realm. Alec couldn’t help but recognize that Damien’s execution of blood magic was on an entirely different

Alec observed as the eyes of the astral projection underwent a transformation, in that moment, he felt a peculiar pressure emanating from the figure before him. It wasn’t the typical pressure that stemmed from someone being stronger; it was a deeper sense of power that made Alec feel insignificant, like a mere speck of dust that could be easily brushed away if he wasn’t cautious.“You punk, this is the second time you’ve awakened a sliver of my consciousness, how are you able to summon me to this space?” Solara questioned, his words throwing Alec off guard, this wasn’t following the script that Alec had anticipated.According to the plan, the astral projection of the mage was supposed to introduce himself and proceed with demonstrating the Fire Wheel spell, imprinting every muscle movement and detail into Alec’s memory to help him grasp the spell completely. However, no matter how Alec tried to explain the situation, it felt as if the real creator o

No soothsayer was needed to identify the culprit behind the attack on the walls; he stood right before them.“I thought I made it clear that there’s a training room in the basement, and if you wanted to test your spells, you should have gone straight there,” Selene scolded as she materialized before Alec, delivering a firm knock to his head.Selene hissed in frustration as she surveyed the damage once more, Alec, on the other hand, was still reeling from the encounter, Selene had appeared before him with such speed it was almost like instant teleportation.Even as he noticed her hand moving toward his head, he was unable to dodge or block it, he could only watch as she knocked some sense into him.Despite the chastisement, Alec had reasons to be pleased.[> Ding!.][ Mid Tier Spell – Bullet Blast has been integrated into your spells.][ Lvl 2 Branch has finished refining, pay 400,000 System points to harvest all(Y/N)]T

The rest of the team made their way into the underground training room, their eyes widening in shock at the spaciousness and advanced design. When they had heard about a training room in the basement of the inn, they had pictured a rundown and makeshift space, however, the reality was far from their initial expectations. It became evident that the training room and the inn occupied two entirely different dimensions, highlighting the stark contrast.As they surveyed the large space, they finally locked eyes with Butcher and Legion, who stood guard in front of Alec at one edge of the training room, however, looking down towards Alec, they realized that he was actually fast asleep. A wave of nervous tension hung in the air, uncertain of how to address the situation, it seemed comical to them that Alec had taken a break to sleep amidst making training plans for the team.Lost in their own thoughts, they were suddenly interrupted by Luc
