“Hey, it’s the Battle Mage Academy team!, I can’t believe I’m actually seeing members of the renowned Battle Mage team, one of the top eight academies from last year.”“Is that Vincent? Vincent Whitefang the teams captain ? I can’t believe I’m meeting one of the eight ranked kings of the inter-academy so soon.”Bystanders and the female mages in the waiting teams behind them all squealed with excitement, showering praises upon the team that seemed determined to bypass the line while belittling Alec’s team.“When you return back home, feel free to ask dad about that yourself, just know that if your team is unlucky enough to be drawn against us, there will be no mercy for your little babies who were only sent to fill the competition numbers,” Selena gloated while glaring down at Alec and the rest of his team. However, Alec remained calm, displaying a peaceful expression on his face.Though he didn’t know much about Selene’s background,
“Let’s take a 15-minute time out to decide who will be participating in the competition, once the time is up, the competition will begin,” proclaimed the Mage referee, with sword firmly strapped to his waist. His Mana amplified voice reverberated throughout the Colosseum, ensuring everyone heard him clearly.Alec and his team had just emerged from the changing room when the unexpected news reached their ears – that they would be the first to step onto the stage, setting the tone for the entire competition.And It took them by surprise.Dressed in flowing robes that transitioned from deep crimson to jet black, each team member proudly displayed the dual colours, that symbolised their academy’s main colour. The academy emblem was adorned on the left side of their chests, and customized headbands with the academy emblem were worn in various ways. Alec opted to tie his around his left fist, resembling a glove. It
Selene smiled at Endrick’s question, while she didn’t have any obligation to answer, a part of her wanted to explain to him.“Well, you see, unlike you, i have watched Alec for a very long time, and I know that he would never do something he’s unsure of, and even when all hope seems lost, he never gives up, he always pushes through until he gets a breakthrough,” Selene explained.“In simple terms, he has full confidence in winning this match, so, he may have decided not to showcase the powers of our other strong team members, that way, their abilities remain a mystery,” Selene concluded as they finally reached the reserved area for the War God Mage Academy and took their seats.Not too far from them sat another team, who would be participating in a later match, they were curious and decided to wait and watch the first match to gauge the level of preparation needed for their own battle.“The crowd’s cheering is enough to put any mage in a sort of exhilarating trance, making them highly
Inside the meeting room of the Gordons Clan, all the Elders and the Patriarch gathered, their attention fixed on a screen displaying the inter academy competition. The First Elder, responsible for the clan’s finances, recently discovered a significant sum of power crystals missing from the clan’s treasury, upon investigation, he discovered that the patriarch had been the one to spend a considerable amount to purchase the smallest size lighting mirrors available from the inter academy committee. These mirrors were used to view competitions and provided a way for remote viewers to experience the event as if they were present at the stadium at the capital.The mirrors created the illusion of being directly at the competition, functioning similar to a basic version of a television set, so the Patriarch had intended to use the mirrors to watch and assess Alec’s progress on his own. However, upon learning that Alec had become the captain of the War God A
As the clash between the Bandit Academy and War God Academy drew closer, Arthur had cunningly made his way to the betting rings much earlier, he discreetly placed a hefty bet of 10,000 magic crystals on the War God Academy emerging victorious in the match. The potential return on his bet was a staggering one million magic crystals, causing a mischievous grin to spread across his face. As he couldn’t help but daydream about how much Alec would reward him once the bet paid off, it was Alec who had provided the funds for the bet, fueling Arthur’s evil laughter as he imagined how he would spend his share of the winnings.Having returned to his spot, Arthur saw that the match was reaching its climax, so he promptly settled down, his eyes glued to the screen. The visuals were so lifelike that he almost believed if he step out of his chair he would find himself within the forest. However, he knew that was merely an illusion created by the incredibly
The entire crowd at the Colosseum fell into a profound silence, so quiet that even the sound of a pin dropping would have been audible, but this silence was justified, for what they were witnessing was nothing short of breath taking. Never in their wildest dreams could they have imagined that the favoured team, the Bandit Academy, would find themselves in such a precarious position against opponents who they were several realms ahead of.In fact, they were not just struggling against the whole of the ordinary team, but a single mage who had barely moved from the chair he had conjured at the beginning of the fight up till now. Alec Gordons had astutely assessed the tempo of the battle while calmly seated in his stone throne, alongside him was Sophia, and Titan by their side with folded arms, it was almost unbelievable that any golem path mage would possess four golems at the same rank as him, let alone rare golems capable of surpassing their own realms in stren
As Raven emerged from the shadows, a deafening bang echoed through the air, prompting him to swiftly raise his hand in a desperate attempt to protect his head from the imminent danger. But the Terra sniper bullet intended for his skull tore through his hand bones, narrowly missing its intended target as Raven’s raised hand altered its trajectory at the last second.“Argh!” Raven groaned, the pain pulsating through his injured hand, he couldn’t help but shudder at the thought of what could have happened if the bullet had found its mark in his skull, glancing towards the rooftop where Sophia and Alec stood, his expression hardened with determination.Reluctantly, Raven had to admit that their underestimation of the War God Academy team had led to their lack of battle formations to combat various situations. Despite outward appearances, their overconfidence had blinded them, as they felt a few Tier 3 and newly advanced Tier 4 Mages would be no problem
Jack Savage the Captain of Bandit Academy impatiently awaited the sounds of victory, confident that his team would emerged triumphant, however, to his dismay, there seemed to be a delay.“What a waste of time, they must be having a blast with those losers from the War God Academy if they’re taking this long to wrap it up, how I wish I had joined them instead, it would have been more entertaining than this , now I’m just bored,” Jack lamented, stretching his back on the rooftop of the Bandit Academy Castle.Their own white flag fluttered above, mirroring how the War God Academy’s flag was decorated on the other side.Suddenly, Jack’s attention was caught by rustling noises, when he turned, he was greeted by the sight of two unfamiliar Golems flying towards him. One had boosters propelling him forward, while the other rode a sleek silver board in the air.Raised eyebrows conveyed Jack’s surprise, he hadn’t expected to encounter these unknown
