# Three Days Later
“The eight teams that have qualified for the Top 8 competition are as follows: Battle Mage Academy, Bloodline Academy, Holy Grail Academy, Onyx Academy, Wizards & Witches Academy, Gate Academy, Vajra Academy, and lastly, our own War God Academy,”“The winner of the loser’s bracket is Royal Mage Academy, last year, they secured the eighth position in the competition and faced considerable scepticism from other institutions, as many believed they only achieved that rank because they are situated in the capital and receive direct sponsorship from the royal family clearing the path for them,” announced Selene to the entire War God Academy team, who were gathered on the training grounds, listening intently.For the past three days, Alec had ensured that the team remained in the training room, leaving only for their meals, baths, or when the ones assigned to observe the day’s matches had to go out only to come back to report back to him.“Are you ready to cheer on your favourite academy as they battle in the final bout of the first round?, this match will determine who will stay on and join the other seven elite teams, qualifying as one of the top eight great academies!” The referee bellowed, eliciting thunderous cheers from the crowd. As they had been eagerly awaiting this match for as long as they could remember, with the showdown between the War God Academy and the Royal Mage Academy being the main event of the First round they were all eager to witness.“Are you not curious to see if the Royal Mage Academy will truly defeat the War God Academy and secure their eighth consecutive entry into the great eight rankings?” the referee questioned, building up the anticipation even more, as the spectators could hardly contain their excitement, “ or are you anxiously waiting to see if the War God Academy would overthrow the established order and take the Royal Mage Academy’s position am
In a secluded mansion within Estonia City, a group of ten Tier 7 mages had gathered to discuss a single objective: eliminating the Gordons clan, all of them had masks, with some being strangers to each other, brought together by a mysterious entity who had helped them breakthrough to the high tier realm.One of the Tier 7 mages present began to express doubts about the plan to attack the Gordons clan. “Are we really going through with this?, The Gordons clan is known as the strongest clan in the city, shouldn’t we be wary?” he voiced his concern, starting to question his decision to participate in the assault.Another mage quickly interjected, dismissing the doubt. “What are you talking about?, The Gordons clan is just a Mid Tier clan, similar to all of our clans here, there’s no reason to fear them, they simply have more high-ranked mages than each clan, but with all of us combined they are no match.”“Let’s not forget how they dealt wit
The crowd of spectators eagerly watched as the much-anticipated match finally began, when Alec sent his team out, the three main attackers from the Royal Mage Academy also entered the forest.To the surprise of everyone watching, The Masked One and Kylian Zero, who typically attacked together, went their separate ways. This unexpected change in strategy caught the attention of the crowd, as they were accustomed to seeing the duo work in unison.Meanwhile, Asher held back for about a minute before following after them, the fans of the Royal Mage Academy felt a sense of suspense, hoping that the entire team would engage with the War God Academy, as they were worried about the numbers of fighters the War God Academy had on their side.Inside the spherical cover of the Colosseum, Alec placed two of his right fingers on his head, attempting to establish a mental connection with his Golems and see through their eyes. However, after two minutes
Agnes couldn’t contain her shock as she watched Lucas swing one of his dual blades at Alec’s neck. “What the hell does he think he’s doing, attacking Alec like that?” she exclaimed, half-expecting someone to answer her, but Arthur merely snorted, observing the scene with interest.“What’s Lucas up to? Don’t tell me he’s been mind-controlled, but even then, he should know that it’ll take more than that to catch Alec off guard,” Brandon mused, scrutinizing the battle to decipher the unfolding events.Indeed, just as Brandon speculated, Alec feigned a backward retreat, however, as Lucas changed direction to follow, Alec did something unexpected.The crowd’s eyes were glued to the scene as Alec shifted his stance and launched his right leg forward, moving so swiftly it appeared as a blur. A burning black flame seemed to cling to his boot.Bang!!! Three thunderous impacts echoed as Alec’s boot struck Lucas’s lowered knee, waist, and
Alec had dispatched his golems alongside his teammates as backup in case they encountered any members of the Royal Mage Academy, however, that wasn’t his primary motive for sending them out. Alec was able to communicate freely with all his golems as long as they weren’t too far from him. So when he sensed something off about the individual claiming to be Lucas, he knew it wasn’t the Lucas because he had been in mental contact with Legion. And Legion had sent a message to him mentally confirming that he was still with the real Lucas, and that was the moment Alec realized something was amiss, yet, even when questioned, he didn’t reveal how he found out, he only twisted his other findings and explained, that way keeping his secret safe. Explaining how he had discerned that Luis was an imposter would expose another of his abilities—the fact that he could communicate with his golems. Alec didn’t consider himself an almighty figure; he recognized that there were various unique powe
“Ugh!” Albert exclaimed, his hand mere inches from Beatrice’s neck, yet unable to bridge the gap.In that instant, Beatrice turned to face him, and he noticed her hand movements, with a subtle tug, he realized that his right hand was ensnared by mana threads, expertly manipulated by her.[> Mid Tier Spell – Puppetry’s Severance Beatrice intoned as she extricated herself from the head of the puppet spider, Albert stood frozen in shock, watching as his right hand was severed cleanly from the rest of his arm.His blood, hot and scarlet, spurted onto his face as he gazed in stunned disbelief, unable to accept that his recklessness had cost him his right hand.—The VIP section buzzed with conversation, while the crowd of spectators fell into a hushed silence. They were still unable to comprehend how the War God Academy had cornered the Royal Mage Academy so effectively and swiftly. The events had unfolded t
In the reserved seats for the participating teams, there were eight captain seats situated at the very front, offering them an impeccable view of the match’s progress. However, not all of the captains had shown up for this particular match, for instance, the captain of Bloodline Academy was nowhere to be found, allowing Damien to happily take his place, as he folded his legs, reclining comfortably as he took sips from his gin flask, his flushed face indicating he had indulged a bit too much.Vincent, who sat close to Damien, turned to face him only to snicker before redirecting his attention back to the match, not bothering if he was drinking blood or wine.“I see your captain has decided once again not to attend another event to gauge the power of the competing teams, does he look down on us that much, or does he believe he has already secured victory?” Thalia, the captain of the Wizard & Witches Academy, remarked to Damien, who simply smiled in response
“Well, all of that is history now, i know for a fact that in a couple more years, we will have completely surpassed them if they continue down the path they are on,” Damien stated, easing the tension in the air between the teams and Vincent. As they all returned to watching the game in peace, their focus back on the unfolding battle.--After regaining his composure, Albert ripped off a piece of his cloth and used it to wrap around his severed hand, tightly securing the makeshift bandage to prevent further blood loss. As he gazed at Beatrice, his previous cheeky and playful attitude vanished, replaced by a focused determination, he stared at her as one would a rival, fully aware of the consequences he faced for his carelessness.“You have proven yourself worthy of my serious attention, believe me, I have never faced a situation where I would have lost my hand before, and you are the first person who has caused me to come this close, so be
