“Where is our master?, Even Orion’s master is here, if things were to go awry, I fear there would be no one to aid Alec,” Brandon expressed his worry.
“It appears they are evenly matched,” Agnes remarked, attempting to make sense of the battle amidst the bursts of elemental light, however, Beatrice shook her head as Agnes finished her sentence.“Alec is undoubtedly going to emerge victorious!” Beatrice confidently declared, folding her hands, this statement piqued Endrick’s curiosity.“How can you be so certain?” he questioned.“Well, for one, Orion is on the verge of depleting his mana reserves, and once he runs out, he will be defenceless against Alec’s relentless onslaught, in fact, I predict that within the next five minutes, Orion will succumb to defeat,” Beatrice stated, shocking most of the team members.They were puzzled as to why a Tier 5 Mage like Orion would run out of mana before Alec, who was only a Tier 4 Mage.The well-wishers of Alec in the crowd tightly clenched their fists as they watched him , covered in ice, fighting for his life. They could hardly believe that the mage they had associated with invincibility in their minds had reached such a perilous state, although they initially thought Orion was stronger, having two years of experience ahead of Alec, but now they considered Alec to be superior. As they believed that Alec’s strength outweighed Orion’s, even if he were to die in this battle, they just couldn’t accept the dirty move he had played in the end.Just as they feared that Alec’s heartbeat was approaching a critical point, they began to hear another sound—a steady thumping in the air.Badump! Badump!At first, they thought they were hallucinating, but the sound of a heartbeat persisted, growing more intense. As they focused on the ice coffin encasing Alec, they realized that it was melting. With one side of the
In a secluded area of the War God Mage Academy, Igor stood behind the figure who was shrouded by a small blue cloud fog, concealing his identity. Igor had always been the one to receive orders from the appointed leader of the Faction, yet he remained oblivious to the leader’s true identity.“Santos will be punished for his actions at the arena, ensure that his punishment serves as a stark reminder of his wrongdoing,” the disguised man spoke, prompting surprise in Igor.“I thought you would be outraged by the New Dean’s punishment of making Santos compensate and having him go into self reflect, but it seems you are actually planning on punishing him as well, however, Santos only acted to defend his disciple, as no one would want to witness their disciple to die,” Igor attempted to defend Santos’ actions, understanding that Santos had acted to save Orion.“Are you questioning my orders, Igor? You should remember that the Faction was created with
“Before you all go room hunting, i still have something for you,” Alec mentioned, determined not to forget to give them the cultivation pills again. They were set to enter the competition the following day, and Alec knew it might be too late to distribute the pills then. He wanted them to use the pills now, while they had the chance to cultivate throughout the night, hoping for favourable results.Although Alec knew the pills were valid, but it was still the first time he would give someone the pills produced by the Primordial Tree, he could only hope they worked as the system described.“Now that I think about it, you did promise us goodies, We only forgot because we were eager to get to the Academy quickly, so, what is it?” Sophia asked, her small fist balled in front of her as her eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement.The entire team gathered around Alec, eagerly awaiting what he had to offer, even Selene, who was about to leave the inn to register the War God Mage Academ
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
