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
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 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
As Raven emerged from the shadows, a deafening bang echoed through the air, prompting him to swiftly raise his hand in a desperate attempt to protect his head from the imminent danger. But the Terra sniper bullet intended for his skull tore through his hand bones, narrowly missing its intended target as Raven’s raised hand altered its trajectory at the last second.“Argh!” Raven groaned, the pain pulsating through his injured hand, he couldn’t help but shudder at the thought of what could have happened if the bullet had found its mark in his skull, glancing towards the rooftop where Sophia and Alec stood, his expression hardened with determination.Reluctantly, Raven had to admit that their underestimation of the War God Academy team had led to their lack of battle formations to combat various situations. Despite outward appearances, their overconfidence had blinded them, as they felt a few Tier 3 and newly advanced Tier 4 Mages would be no problem
Jack Savage the Captain of Bandit Academy impatiently awaited the sounds of victory, confident that his team would emerged triumphant, however, to his dismay, there seemed to be a delay.“What a waste of time, they must be having a blast with those losers from the War God Academy if they’re taking this long to wrap it up, how I wish I had joined them instead, it would have been more entertaining than this , now I’m just bored,” Jack lamented, stretching his back on the rooftop of the Bandit Academy Castle.Their own white flag fluttered above, mirroring how the War God Academy’s flag was decorated on the other side.Suddenly, Jack’s attention was caught by rustling noises, when he turned, he was greeted by the sight of two unfamiliar Golems flying towards him. One had boosters propelling him forward, while the other rode a sleek silver board in the air.Raised eyebrows conveyed Jack’s surprise, he hadn’t expected to encounter these unknown
Pale’s eyes fluttered open as he regained consciousness, and he found himself surrounded by his entire team. A wave of remorse washed over him, prompting him to bow his head and apologize. “I’m sorry we lost, i should have done better,” he expressed, feeling responsible for their defeat, due to his unconscious state after Scarlet had incapacitated him, Pale was unaware they won and hadn’t considered the possibility of their victory.Unaware of the battle’s outcome, he could only hear Beatrice’s giggles and feel Lucas’s hand patting his shoulder. Lucas had a wide grin on his face as he reassured Pale, “You can stop sulking, you poor boy, we won!” Despite this revelation, Pale remained genuinely perplexed, contemplating whether he was the target of an elaborate prank.However, his confusion dissipated as he caught sight of a massive water screen suspended high above the Colosseum. The screen displayed highlights from the just-c
As soon as the crowd learned that one of the Great Eight Academies from the previous year would be competing, the cheers escalated to an unprecedented level.The atmosphere was electric, surpassing the excitement that had greeted the introduction of the Crimson Rose Academy.“The mage leading them into this match is their Vice-Captain, Damien Sorin, a High Tier 5 Mage, accompanied by his sister, Carmilla Sorin, also a High Tier 5 Mage. Following them are Soren Dragonmir, a Low Tier 5 Mage, Connor Lupus, a Low Tier 5 Mage, and finally, Kira Nightfang, a Low Tier 5 Mage,” the referee announced, prompting the crowd to erupt into cheers once more as the members of the Bloodline Academy was listed.“As expected of one of the Great Eight Academies, they’re always keen to flaunt their formidable strength,” a spectator commented.“Why shouldn’t they show off? They have the credentials and the capability, but it seems they’re looking down on the Crimson
As the smoke finally cleared, Aria was surprised to see Damien smirking at her, he appeared unscathed, with only a few dishevelled strands of hair and a small scratch on the left side of his face. “Tch! I don’t believe the mages of the Great Eight Academies are invincible; I just believe I’m invincible,” Damien said, but Aria was too preoccupied with examining the material of his uniform to pay much attention to his words. Suddenly, Damien seemed to materialize in front of her, his outstretched hand moving to clamp down on her throat. “It seems you’ve finally realized that I’m wearing Tier 5 spirit clothes engraved with defensive and protection runes., so you’ll need more than a weak blow to hurt me,” Damien said as he closed in on her, almost strangling her. Taken aback by his sudden appearance, Aria swiftly deflected Damien’s hand with her left hand, feeling a surge of anger at him as he was still attacking with one-hand,
