Selene had initially thought that refining Tier 3 Cultivation Pills was a waste due to the vast amount of resources consumed in the process. She believed it was unnecessary and preferred refining only Mid Tier Power stones into cultivation pills when one entered the mid ranks , as the impurities from the lower ranks could still be cleansed then, and it would save a fortune compared to wasting the low-rank materials for low rank mages that could still breakthrough with power stones raw energy.However, when she overheard Alec's conversation with Brandon, she understood the rationale behind his decision to distribute the pills. By providing Brandon with the pills, Alec was ensuring that if Brandon broke through to Tier 4, he wouldn't need to endure a lengthy period of realm consolidation, as the cultivation pills facilitated a smooth transition into the next realm, meaning Alec had effectively and indirectly nurtured another Tier 4 Mage for the War God Mage Academy

It was already morning, and Selene was waiting for the entire team to come down, as they needed to arrive at the competition’s first-round site on time. She had spent the entire night concealing the outbreak of mana fluctuations that some of the mages in the team had released when they broke through, although such an event was stressful, but a small smile graced her weary and tired face as the number of those who had broken through truly surprised her. Initially, she had believed that only Brandon would have been able to break through to become a Mid-rank Mage, but she still felt If things had been more fortunate, it would have been only two mages who would have broken through to the mid ranks , but it turned out that three mages had made it to the mid ranks—specifically Brandon, Katie, and Arthur.Just when she thought things would have stopped there, it had gone further.Due to the fact that they had all cultivated using Cultivation Pills of the highest quality, it had cleansed t

“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
The Golem Mage Consequence
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
The Golem Mage Shock (1).
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 Golem Mage Shock (2 & 3).
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

Auction 5.
Which was equivalent to at least another ten bodies if they were counting in Tier 5 terms; and now the pills’ value had reached the equivalent of twenty Tier 5 bodies which is the original realm Alec had placed the bid.As the two men stared toward each other’s booth, trying to anticipate each other’s next move and act as cautiously as possible, Alec stood with his hands behind his back, neither announcing nor acknowledging their bids.Everyone was so pumped about his heated bidding battle that the both Booth were probably the only ones being stared at, the crowd found the bidding battle far more interesting than expected, many realizing they even enjoyed watching such power plays.‘Yes! Fight! Bid and spend all your corpses here, in the end, I’ll still be the biggest winner, no matter how much you believe I’m taking a loss,’ Alec thought as he watched them close to breaking down, though he kept a nonchalant face, deep down he was almost jumping for joy seeing how much the pills were
Auction 4.
“For the second round, I’ve prepared a batch of various items to speed things up,” Alec began as he walked towards the stone pillar and pulled off the black cloth that had been covering the items. “I have here three different items for the second round, and as you can see, there are three bottles, each holding cultivation pills, the first bottle contains ten Tier 3 cultivation pills.” “The second bottle holds another ten Tier 4 cultivation pills, while the third bottle contains five Tier 5 cultivation pills, and these three bottles will not be sold separately but as a joint sale, and the starting bid is six Tier 5 bodies.” Alec finally concluded his introduction of the second item, which happened to be a bundled sale, after his statement about the contents of the three pill bottles, the entire auction house fell silent. The breaths of many inside hitched as they could hardly believe their eyes, all this while, when they wanted to cultivate, they had relied on power stones harveste
Auction 3.
The second female mage who had moved backstage earlier now rolled out another table, this time two tables interlocked together to prevent them from separating, one of the tables was empty, while the other was covered in a dark cloth, immediately making many in the crowd realize that was the second item of the day hidden beneath it.As the female mages reached the center, she and the first lady who had remained on stage with Alec began transferring the newly purchased armour, won by the black-clothed man onto the empty table. Once they were done, they placed the new item on the new empty stone pillar.Afterward, the first lady rolled the armour offstage while the crowd waited eagerly for the unveiling of the second item.“Well, in this situation, I’ll go straight to the point and not keep you all in suspense,” Alec said as he started walking toward the stone pillar. However, despite his words, there were many in the crowd who didn’t believe him.Because as he was observing some peop

While those interested in the armour were prepared and waiting for Alec to declare the starting bid, the others, who had no intention of bidding couldn’t help letting their imaginations run wild. As they felt If the opening item was already of mid-tier caliber, what else could possibly be in store?, Many silently prayed that something matching their desires would appear next so they could make use of the corpses they had brought in their space rings.As murmurs of speculation filled the hall, Alec stood calmly, a knowing smile on his face as he observed their expressions. This was all part of his plan, starting strong with a high-tier item to set the tone, even if the next few items didn’t match the first in quality, the excitement would remain. As the crowd had already been made to believe that treasures awaited them, and that momentum alone would keep their spirits high, as the eagerly awaited what’s next.This was the power of first impressions, and Alec knew how to wield it
Auction 1.
Though Alec already had his suspicions about who was responsible for the probing, but he chose to act as if he hadn’t noticed anything at all.“Seeing how eager you all are to discover what we’ve prepared for you today, I won’t waste any more of your time, especially as you all are respectable figures, so allow me to first explain the one and only rule of the Gordons Auction House.” Alec began, his voice calm but firm.“No matter who you are or what position you hold outside these walls, once you step into this hall, you’ve accepted to be under our care, and with that comes our expectation of a little respect back from you, it’s quite simple, really.”“Our one rule is this: there will be no fighting inside the auction hall, if anyone believes themselves to be above reason, they are free to try gathering mana in a bid to attack, but just know, whatever happens after that, we won’t be held responsible.” Alec’s tone was firm, a quiet authority threading each word as he addressed the crow
D Day 2.
Just as the crowd waited in eager anticipation for the auction to begin, a sudden flash of light burst across the stage, instantly drawing the attention of every guest, conversations fell silent as all eyes turned toward the source, and from the backstage, Alec emerged, flanked by two female mages at his side.He wore a regal-looking robe, deep brown with black trim, bearing the Gordons clan emblem boldly emblazoned on his back and a smaller crest over his left chest, though he’d clearly attempted to comb his hair back neatly, but a few stubborn strands still jutted out at the edges, adding an almost roguish charm to his appearance.Beside him stood two stunning female mages, dressed in elegant yet provocative outfits Alec had personally arranged for the event, their short skirts and stylish tops left little to the imagination, instantly catching the attention of several lustful onlookers. But these women weren’t just decoration, their job for the day was to assist Alec in presentin
D Day.
While the city lord waited impatiently for any word from the Gordons clan, a message finally reached him, just a day before the long-awaited auction, he sat in his study, his usual spot by the window that directly faced the Gordons estate. It had become something of a habit for him, to watch from there, hoping for a sign of unrest at the Gordons, but to his quiet frustration, the sealed gates of the Gordons had been opened, and the estate had come alive again, bustling as though nothing had happened a few days ago.As he stared out, a knock sounded at the door, and he turned to see his son, Alistair, stride in with an unreadable expression.“Father, there’s finally news from the Gordons clan,” Alistair announced, stopping beside his father’s chair.Those words alone made the previously lax city lord sit up, a sharp gleam of interest in his eyes. “Speak. What is it?”Alistair wasted no time. “The Gordons have dispatched envoy mages across the city, reaffirming that the auction w
Merit System.
It had been days since the three assassins were dispatched to the Gordons Clan to eliminate Alec, but with no word or sign of their success, the City Lord was beginning to regret his impulsive decision, the silence gnawed at him as a bitter reminder that he might have once again acted too hastily.He still fumed at how Alec had exchanged sharp words with him in front of so many people, tarnishing his credibility, and the only way he knew to deal with such a problem was to erase it. Alec was quickly becoming another Gordons weed, stubborn, persistent, and dangerously difficult to uproot.On the night of the planned assassination, he had seen the massive array deployed over the Gordons estate, he’d almost allowed himself to relax, convinced that the assassins must have succeeded in their mission. In his mind, there was no other reason for the Gordons to raise such a formation unless it was to contain either someone or something, and he believed it was to keep the assassins from escap
The Delivery.
Eventually, the night dragged on as the mages of the Gordons Clan who hadn’t joined the earlier battle busied themselves, moving wine and supplies in preparation for the celebration ahead.It was tradition in the Gordons Clan that whenever a mage advanced to a new realm, they were to celebrate the breakthrough with loved ones and officially register their new realm at the Clan Hall the following morning. This helped the Elders and the Patriarch track the steady rise in the clan’s strength, but tonight was anything but ordinary, over nine hundred mages had broken through whether it was to a new realm or a small breakthrough in the same realm all would be celebrated tonight as all logistic duties like recording the new realms was pushed to the next day. Some from the main bloodline, others from mixed bloodlines, and even a few enforcers the clan had taken in over the years. Yet, none of that mattered tonight, the entire clan was uniting in a single celebration, preparing to honour
