A few minutes later, Pale could be seen heaving heavily; around him, the bodies of dead beastmen were sprawled on the ground.However, he was now staring at Endrick and Agnes in fear, the whole reason he had asked Beatrice and Lucas to stay out of the fight was because he wanted the limelight on himself.But now he realized that Brandon, the one he thought he had to worry about wasn’t even his problem at all during this trial, during the fight, though Brandon showed a bit of excellence, but he was more of the laid-back type during the battle.He and Arthur basically held one side alone sharing kills like they were training more than in a competition , while Pale had Katie with him. She, too, had performed well and even swayed some enemies toward Pale’s side because she was more aware of her friend’s intentions than anyone, on another side were Agnes and Knight,That was one alliance he hadn’t worried much about along the line, then the last position was being held by Sophia and Endri

The first match was about to start, and the mages from academies not involved in the first match drifted out of the arena, which would soon become a battlefield in minutes. As announced, the third round was being prepared to begin immediately, just as the presiding judge had said earlier, however; when the Witches and Wizards Academy took their positions, they fielded only six members, in stark contrast to the School of Silent Night’s full ten members which prompted a buzz of whispers in the stands.“I can see many of you are wondering why the Witches and Wizards Academy has fewer fighters, i would explain the process to you all” the judge said. “Before the second trial, the Witches and Wizard academy had split into two teams because they had eleven members, a privilege extended to only Northern Kingdom academies, but while the first team was able to clear their hurdle and advanced for the Third round, the second team failed to do the same and was disqualified, making them ineligibl

The Northern citizens watching from the four gate axis and the high executives of the Northern kingdom watching in the arena could hardly believe their eyes.The match had just begun, and it wasn’t looking like the Vajra Academy team had more to offer; neither did it seem they could mount any real resistance again.“Get them!” Raizo said, as he was still on a mission to beat the three-minute time frame the School of Silent Night had used to achieve victory, at his command, his team closed in on the Vajra mages, while Daigo shifted to block both Omar and Yama as they tried to engage others.“Come on now, your opponent is me, let’s have some fun,” Daigo said, shocking the crowd that a mage who is not even introduced with an official position in the Crimson Dawn team would block both a captain and a vice-captain of another team together.His actions reeked of arrogance, but given what he’d shown so far, they couldn’t write him off, after all he’d proven himself capable; they just couldn’

While all this was happening in a faraway city in the northern kingdom, Alec decided it was time to return to his team, as he’d realized the Battle Mage Academy was up against the Arcanis Dominion Academy currently.Four academies from the Northern Kingdom had already lost and been disqualified in the opening bouts, but Alec wasn’t worried about the Battle Mage Academy. Because he didn’t believe the Arcanis Dominion Academy could topple the Battle Mage Academy.Strong as Arcanis was, to him it didn’t change the fact that, unlike most Northern academies, the Battle Mage Academy excelled both individually and as a unit. They practically lived for team battles, and in the last tournament, their overall team battle power had ranked just below the Bloodline Academy.And also next on the schedule to battle was the War God Mage Academy versus the Ashmaw Academy, and Alec intended to be there no matter how uneasy he was feeling at the moment.As he stepped out from the corridor into the sta

While Lucius was still trying to figure out how he’d been outplayed and caught off guard, he finally noticed the kunai stuck in the ground a few feet away from him lighting up. That was when he realized there were runic spell engravings etched along its handle.Being a sharp mage, he quickly put two and two together and understood how Vincent Whitefang, who is known for his low elemental affinity, had managed to cast a spell from such a distance.The kunai was one of Vincent’s spirit weapons, and he had inscribed spell runes along its handle in tiny lines.So when he cast the Wind Slam spell, even though Vincent himself wasn’t close enough, the kunai was, and it acted as a substitute for him to bypass his affinity penalty. For someone like Vincent, whose weakness was low elemental affinity, he had trained in other areas: like reducing the casting time of his wind spells and mastering wind rune manifestation which had become some of his greatest strengths only he couldn't show them u
