It was finally the second day, and the highly-anticipated second round fight between Onyx Academy and Gates Academy was about to commence.
The instructors were going from room to room, urging all members of the team to assemble and prepare for their Departure.As they were getting ready for the second battle which they were participating in, scheduled to take place in the afternoon, as Selene passed, she banged on Alec’s door and called out to him.“Alec, let’s go!” she exclaimed.Through the locked door, Alec’s muffled voice reached her, “You guys go ahead, I’ll meet up with you all before the second match begins.” Alec said.While Selene wanted to pull him out and have him witness the battle between Onyx Academy and Gates Academy, as their fighting style was somewhat similar to Alec’s own, she decided to respect his request and knew he would keep his word.The team bid their farewells as they passed by Alec’s door.The cheers from the crowd echoed throughout the arena as the match between the Onyx Academy and the Gates Academy finally came to an end, after a long and intense battle, the Onyx Academy emerged as the victorious team.The clash between the two academies was referred to as a war due to the sheer number of summons the captains of other academy had under their command. What was meant to be a one-on-one match was escalated into a grand group battle by both captains, as their summons fought all over the battle ring turning it into a royal rumble match.In the final moments, the captain of the Onyx Academy employed a shrewd strategy. By using his ability to meld into the shadows, he stealthily approached the captain of the Gates Academy from behind, taking advantage of the distraction his undead caused the guardian beast of the Gate academy captain. With no protection left, the captain of the Gates Academy found himself at the mercy of the O
“What is this, Dean of the War God Academy? I never knew you were so generous, willing to offer up your prized treasure like this,” the Head Abbot of the Vajra Academy stated as he began to walk towards the new Dean of the War God Academy.Upon hearing the line up of the War God Academy team, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of smugness, as the power levels of the two teams didn’t seem to match up. He began to furrow his brow, deep in contemplation, trying to decipher just how the War God Academy had managed to defeat the Royal Mage Academy despite having weaker mages. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t find an answer, frustrated he lifted his head to watch the match that is when he noticed the Dean of the War God Academy.For now he could only attribute their victory over the Royal Mage Academy to the latter’s underestimation of the War God Academy team, as based on the information he had received, he believed the only opponent his
The moment Alec stepped out of the halls and spotted the battle ring, he stood frozen for a second, horrified by the scene unfolding before him. Before his eyes, Sophia was being manhandled by Steele, who gripped her collar tightly while unleashing a relentless barrage of wind-fist punches aimed straight at her face. No matter how desperately she attempted to utter the words “I give up,” they were battered back into silence by Steele’s merciless onslaught.With every punch, she struggled to voice her surrender, yet the referee remained passive, ignoring the fact that Sophia could no longer defend herself. Frustrated and furious, Alec began to stride toward the War God Academy team stand, his anger boiling over. His approach brought a glimmer of hope to the anxious War God Academy team, but witnessing the innocent Sophia being pummelled while the culprit laughed with glee only fuelled their rage further. “She surrenders!” Ale
“Hahaha! Didn’t I tell you all that something interesting was about to happen?” Vladimir laughed, thoroughly amused by Alec’s decision to participate.The spectators erupted into discussions, taken aback by Alec’s surprising choice to fight. However, no one was as shocked as the Dean of the War God Mage Academy, he longed to rise from his chair and fly over just to force Alec out of the battle arena, but he knew he had to maintain his composure to save face. Victor Steele, standing on the opposite side of the battle ring, now remembered Alec’s past threats.Previously, when Alec had threatened him, Steele had felt a chill and didn’t want to provoke Alec. He had witnessed Alec’s formidable skills in previous fights. Although Steele knew he would struggle to go against Alec, even with the knowledge that he couldn’t win, he never took Alec’s threat seriously because he never expected to face him in the battle ring.Typically, the
“Fight!” The referee’s voice boomed, officially commencing the match. Steele, however, refused to budge, patiently waiting for Alec to make his move first, similarly, Alec remained steadfast, his hands concealed behind his back as he locked eyes with Steele before him.“Add all the remaining attribute points to agility,” Alec commanded the system spirit utilizing his mind as a conduit.[ Status Tab ]Name: Alec GordonsRace: HumanLevel: 81Tier: 5 [Low]Progression till next level: 1%[ Attributes ]Strength: 230Agility: 247Endurance: 220Mentality: 26 (locked)Mana: 50,000 / 50,000Affinity: Earth (Peak) Sub: Gravity Manipulation, Fire (Peak) Variant: Black Flames, Devourer Beast Bloodline (2/4)(Low)Skills: Intermediate Swordsmanship (lvl 4), Intermediate Blade Techniques (lvl 2), Golem Skill Assimilation (--)...Available points: 0System points: 1,083,679Notably, this time Alec only experienced a slight tingling sensation across his skin following his agility upgrade, gone we
Alec slowly walked toward Steele, who was still struggling to use his right hand to fix his dislocated jaws. Although the injury appeared serious, but apart from the excruciating pain and difficulty speaking, it wasn’t critical. And as long as the medics could apply their healing spell in time, his jaws would likely recover to their original function.Crack!The crowd watched as Alec, who was still advancing towards Steele, suddenly stomped his right leg into the ground of the battle ring, shattering a section of the earth before moving forward. As he did, small debris from the broken battle ring levitated towards his palm, after being manipulated by Alec’s gravity magic, he grasped two sharp, spiky rocks floating upward.“I warned you!, I told you to leave the battle ring after defeating Sophia, but you rejected my warning, and now you shall pay for it,” Alec said, channelling his mana from his hand into the two rock shards, Steele watched in awe as the stones was being compres
The monk clenched his teeth, angered by Alec’s attitude, but he couldn’t deny that Alec’s words aligned with the rules set by the competition committee.The committee had implemented these rules, including the elimination of a safe space in the Grand Arena like the one used in the first round, all this to trap the War God Academy team in a confrontation with the remaining of the prestigious Great Eight Academy. The committee believed that if the War God Academy team couldn’t surrender easily, they would be mercilessly defeated. And this would showcase to the spectators, who had gathered to witness the underdogs create more miracles, that the Great Eight Academy’s prestige should never be challenged.The committee was compelled to make these changes due to numerous complaints from ordinary academies. These academies argued that the financial support granted to the top eight teams was excessively high, as they believed that even if a small allocation from the main budget was share
“Begin!” The referee’s voice resounded, officially commencing the match, Omar, towering over Alec, summoned an iron dagger from his space ring and swiftly charged towards Alec, as his braided hair swayed with the wind.Clang!Alec tightly gripped the stone dagger he had created, holding it in reverse with his left hand, as he skilfully defended against Omar’s first strike. Alec glanced up, locking eyes with Omar and noticed a clear expression of surprise etched upon his opponent’s face.During Omar’s observation of Alec’s easy defeat of Steele, he had primarily focused on Alec’s incredible speed in evading Steele’s attacks. Omar believed that Alec’s victory was primarily a result of his exceptional swiftness, which surpassed Steele’s reactionary abilities.Upon stepping onto the stage, Omar was well aware that he couldn’t match Alec’s speed normally, however, he possessed confidence in his ability to track Alec’s movements with his eyes, even if it meant reacting slightly slower.
