While Alec’s recent achievements were the subject of discussion throughout the academy, not everyone was pleased by his return to the spotlight, after what he did in the Abyss Realm. Biased seniors, who had previously dismissed Alec’s survival in the Abyss as mere luck when he was first tossed in, were now scrambling to find fresh excuses. Their reluctance to admit their own errors led them to claim that Alec’s accomplishments were solely due to the help he received.These individuals conveniently overlooked the fact that Alec had ventured into the Abyss even before reaching the Tier 3 realm and twice for that matter, proving them wrong once again. Even if they were in Alec’s shoes, being pursued by an army of second Dimension races with three Tier 4 mages as their protectors, they too would protest and would definitely not even make it out in one piece. However, no amount of noise they made could overshadow Alec’s growing fame.As word of Alec’s deeds spread throughout the school
“ ‘I’m not interested,” Katie said firmly, her punches echoing through the courtyard as the wooden puppets continued to taunt her. The sound of flesh meeting wood reverberated around her, but she remained undeterred.“ Come on, you must have realized by now that these outdated puppets can never match up to your power, They won’t help you understand your strength any better,” Pale pleaded, attempting to persuade her.“ Just listen to me first, My offer isn’t as bad as you think, It could even help you improve your battling skills,” he urged.“ You’ll have to defeat me first before I even consider listening to you,” Kate snapped, her anger evident. With a swift jump, she pushed herself against the puppet’s chest, propelling herself towards Pale.Caught off guard, Pale hurriedly cast an ice shield to protect himself. But his reflexes were slow, and Katie’s qi-infused fist shattered the hastily created barrier before reaching his face, slamming him away.Pale skidded on the ground, q
“Now that he is gone, let’s discuss our strategy for dealing with Alec Gordons,” The Grand Elder declared as soon as the enforcer departed.Confusion painted the face of the remaining four elders, as the elder on the far left as asked, “What do you mean ‘deal with Alec Gordons’? I thought you found a solution to eliminate both him and the Sixth Elder of the Fridall clan just now.”The Grand Elder snorted. “Only a loser sticks to one plan, and those plans have plenty of loopholes.”“Such loopholes may cause those plans to fail, especially if the Sixth Elder decides to ignore our offer and continue hiding,” another elder chimed in.The Grand Elder nodded. “ Exactly. Furthermore, he successfully helped another Ancient clan from outside the northern kingdom attack Aurora, If he manages to find a way to relocate to the central kingdom, our advantage of using fear to manipulate him will be lost.”“You all need to understand that he has shown his true colours, and we don’t truly control
Alec stretched his body, feeling every joint stiff from staying in the same position for three days straight. Luckily, he had managed to reach the peak of the Tier 2 Mage Realm on the second day. However, because he still wore the arcane crown, he had to wait another 24 hours before he could come out, in order to avoid Agnes discovering it. The Whole gang was still unaware about the benefits of the crown, so if they saw Alec with the crown they would think he was some kind of freak who enjoyed having his Mana locked. During this time, Alec decided to self meditate and try to better understand his innate spell. And luckily for him, His knowledge of his innate skills had reached a new level opening new options for him . Opening his door, he was surprised to see the whole gang waiting on his doorstep. It was clear they all believed they had broken through before him. “Pay up, brother,” Arthur said loudly, extending his right hand towards Brandon, who looked helpless as he passed
A fire tunnel appeared within the confines of a secluded cave, revealing the imposing figure of the Blaze Clan’s enforcer. Standing before him was the sixth elder of the Fridall clan, wearing a grin that only served to irritate the enforcer. Without hesitation, the enforcer extended his hand, attempting to grab hold of the Fridall elder’s throat. However, the Fridall elder swiftly deflected the enforcer’s hand with a well-placed hit from his palm, and quickly closing in and clasping his hand around the enforcer’s neck.“I remember a time when I was merely a Tier 6 Mage and you held the rank of Tier 7 Mage,” the Fridall elder remarked, a smile playing on his lips. “Back then, I showed you respect, Perhaps that’s why you believe you can still treat me the same way.”The Fridall elder continued, his smile never faltering, “If you dare cross me, I will break you, Take a look at yourself, still stuck in the rank of Tier 7 while I have rapidly caught up, and Soon enough, I will surpass
The news of Alec’s adventure in the Abyss has inspired many first-year mages to seek permission to enter the Abyss themselves. However, most of them were still denied by their Instructors. When they attempted to protest, their masters issued a challenge to all mages who wanted to enter the Abyss passage without a Tier 3 Mage as their leader. The task was to retake the entrance test and outperform Alec in the test of the Fighting Pavilion Tower. If they were successful in clearing it, their masters would have no objections to letting them into the Abyss passage, as it would mean they could take care of themselves . Despite this opportunity, many of them felt it was unfair for Alec to receive special privileges and be allowed to explore the Abyss, especially when they heard from senior mages about the significant rewards that each members have obtained through shared power stones. And this was For James’ group in particular, as Alec wasn’t particularly interested in selling his ow
“ Tell me, Agnes, is there any information you think I would be interested in? “ Alec asked as soon as he re-joined the group. He had learned that information was also a form of power within the academy. “So, which one do you want to hear first, the gossip from inside the academy or outside?” Agnes asked, confidently smiling. “Oh, wow! We now have access to information outside the academy!, That’s amazing!” Arthur exclaimed, as usual, interrupting before Alec could respond. “Great job, Agnes. Just let me know the cost later. I have accumulated a small fortune and would be happy to pay for all the valuable information you’re providing,” Alec acknowledged. “Now that we have access to this external news, how extensive is your coverage?” Alec inquired. “It’s not that extensive. I mainly have information about the royal capital. It’s quite difficult to obtain such intel, but I know someone who knows a noble and I get the information from him.” “ Rest assured, his information is rel
[Spirit Meal consumed, detected to have a poisonous attribute][+5% poison resistance acquired.]As soon as the meal went down Alec’s throat, he could already feel his stomach churning.When he looked up, he was met with Agnes’s eerie smile.Despite the discomfort he felt , he still mustered up the courage to swallow another spoonful, grunting in the process.“This is one of the best meals I’ve ever tasted, I don’t think we even deserve to be tasting your gracious meals that are now infused with spirit energy, This should only be eaten by royals,” Alec complimented Agnes with such enthusiasm that even Arthur wondered if they were eating the same meal.Thinking quickly, Arthur stealthily swapped his plate with Alec’s plateWhile he was still trying his best to maintain a straight face and lie about the taste of the meal.After the swap, Arthur realized that Alec’s plate had more meat, and he nodded to himself, thinking,‘This little lady, favouring Alec and giving him the one that tast
