Alec and his new team were en route to their first training objective together, At the moment, fatigue weighed heavily on them all.

"Why the hell would they ask us to do this?" Pale grumbled from behind, panting heavily.

The rest of the team exchanged surprised glances, hardly believing he would complain so vociferously.

The initial task outlined in the scroll required them to traverse the Gobi Desert while consciously suppressing their mana, Alec, having practiced with the arcane crown previously, found mana restraint second nature.

However, for the other mages, it was an unprecedented challenge, because since awakening their powers, they had never had to suppress their mana, let alone while navigating the harsh terrain of the Gobi Desert.

The ordeal was exacting a toll on everyone.

"Guy, you're holding up better than the rest of us, you're a Tier 4 Mage for God sake, yet you whine more than the grandmothers in my clan," Knight teased, prompting laughter from the others.

  • Simple Movements 1.

    The entire War God Mage Academy team, what was left of Ashmaw, and the higher executives in the stands, especially the northern higher-ups—all looked surprised after seeing Alec finally moving.Since the competition began, no one could truly say they understood the depth of Alec’s power, up till now, most of the attention had been on how much the rest of his team had improved compared to the last inter-academy competition, where they had needed him to practically carry every match.The King of the Northern Kingdom grit his teeth as he remembered the defiant look in Alec’s eyes the last time they exchanged words. In the section where the leaders of the other academies were seated, they all looked even more interested now as they turned their gazes toward Alec.Lucas, who heard Alec’s words, didn’t bother wasting time, as he shoved Afolayan backward with his glaive, putting all his strength into the push, then retreated in a smooth motion. While Alec skidded forward and took his place

    However, no matter how hard it pulled, it eventually couldn’t win against the shadow chains that had gripped tightly onto even its wings and the rest of its body.By the time it reached a closer distance to Knight, it had already been bound in place and was unable to push any further, Knight could clearly see the fury in the beast’s eyes, its rage burning at its failure to carry out its intentions.But to Knight, none of that seemed to matter. His own eyes were cold, so cold it felt like he felt nothing at all staring at the beast, it was as if his entire demeanor had changed after he clad himself in the Voidclaw spirit equipment set. However, the equipment set wasn’t the real reason he was that cold, it was because he could feel extreme power coursing through his veins at this moment, and with that much power inside him, his confidence has surged to a very high level.He started walking toward the beast, and by the time he reached it, he simply shuffled past like a grey wisp of smok

    “This is really getting out of hand now, do we really need to push ourselves that far just to win a one-on-one battle?” Knight said lazily as his legs touched the ground.“Clearly, if we want to win this match, we have to get rid of her,” Agnes said, turning towards Makeda, who was casting a spell, once she was done a halo appeared and she sent it flying towards Nuru.As the Halo clashed into his back, his veins seemed to lit up with a golden glow before dimming a moment later, and a few bruises on his hands healed instantly.“What a cheat power,” Knight muttered.“Would you be good enough to hold him?” he asked as he prepared to go against Makeda again, gripping his daggers in an inverse grip.“Don't worry, I basically have him surrounded, I should survive long enough, and if he ever comes close to defeating me, there is no way those two idiots would just keep standing there,” Agnes said as she nudged towards Arthur and Brandon, who were watching them from a few meters away.Right no

  • Die Minute.

    As of this moment, the Southern fans outside had all gone quiet and were unable to say a thing. To them, everything happening right now seemed more like a dream than reality; as they could hardly believe their eyes.They couldn’t believe that the Ashmaw Academy was getting laid out by an academy they had called a no-name academy. In fact, everything felt like too much for them to process, and it wasn’t only them who were having a hard time understanding what was happening.Even some of the Northerners were staring at the screen and rubbing their eyes to make sure that what they were witnessing was truly happening, it wasn’t entirely their fault either; as they still believed the War God Mage Academy team would be a one-man team like the last competition.However, they were now realising that even without Alec showing up, the rest of the team seemed to have become quite good, only the die-hard fans of the War God Mage Academy, who had been cheering from the start, continued shouting w

  • Quick Work 3.

    Afolayan, Sefu, Adeola, Nuri, and Makeda—those were the last five members of the Ashmaw Academy team that were still standing and fighting.Whenever an Ashmaw member was knocked out and unable to continue fighting, the judge would slip onto the stage and remove them without disrupting the fight. It was almost like he had a speedster’s ability, he was that fast at clearing them out while avoiding interfering with the battle , and aside from that one blunder of stopping a blunt arrow for Moro that he made , he had only appeared when necessary.Seeing half his team disqualified, Afolayan swept his spear sideways, unleashing a wild spear-qi that lunged at Lucas, mirroring the arc of his swing. Lucas twisted his glaive in a repelling motion, as his own qi surged forward to form a whirling vortex that spat little lightning currents, even so, when the spear’s energy hit, it drove him backward.Afolayan snapped his left hand and a massive demonic lion with ash-grey fur materialized, immedia

  • Quick Work 2.

    “My turn,” Endrick said, firing a bolt straight at her head, it moved so fast most people saw only a blur. Even the judge flinched, sweat beading as he wondered what kind of crazy mage would aim at another opponent’s head like he meant to kill her.So he lunged into play, however by the time he caught the bolt, he realised the tip was blunt. At worst, it would have knocked her out, not killed her, he’d interrupted a clean elimination, so he turned to Moro who was already slowly working on breaking free from the thorns imprisonment.“You’re disqualified. Step off the stage,” the judge said.“Says who? I’m still very much in this battle if—” she kept ranting at the judge, trying to exploit the fact that he’d interrupted the shot and box him into a corner. But as the judge hesitated, another bolt hissed forward, this time he stepped aside and allowed the bolt do the job it was meant to do, as Endrick’s Bolt which was covered in Qi, and was conjured from the mana that was infused into
