The Golem Mage

Alec, and his clansmen were also among the set of mages that stepped into the Ancient Fighting Pavilion Tower.

The moment Alec sets foot inside, he immediately realizes something is amiss, Thick fog and smoke cloak the surroundings, obscuring his vision.

As he looks around, he notices that he’s been separated from his companions, They’ve vanished, leaving him alone in this mysterious space.

He smiled bitterly as he realised that this seems to be a type of individual test, that could only be taken by one person at a time and no support would be given

He was just wondering how the tower was able to accommodate that many amount of people in just the first floor

’ the wonders of magic have not been fully researched’ Alec thought

Alec adjusts himself, feeling the increased gravity pressing down on his shoulders, Although it causes slight discomfort, he refuses to let it deter him.

He takes a deep breath, ready to tackle whatever challenges lie ahead, However, before he can even let his guard down, a massive demonic wolf beast materialises right in front of him, charging with ferocious intent.

Instinctively, Alec reacts, summoning his loyal golem, Titan, The colossal ice Golem materialises in front of him without any sluggish attitude it wields his mighty spiky mace that glows with an icy aura.

With one powerful swing, Titan smashes into the Tier 1 demonic wolf beast, obliterating it instantly without any fancy movements .

The beast’s demise reveals a black staircase that materializes before Alec’s eyes,

”Woah that was easier than expected”

He contemplates the ease of this initial encounter, considering that the test may not be as daunting as he initially anticipated.

Filled with determination, Alec steps forward onto the staircase, ready to face the next challenge that awaits him as Titan follows behind him the icy aura around him looking more profound than before

Even Alec has been suspecting that Titan’s ice manipulation must have increased to a very high level and now he really felt it was the right time he should check on all his golems, when he remembered the words of the system spirit he remembered the spirit telling him he should try evolving his golems to the next rank.

The old man and instructor Duran sat side by side gulping one cup of wine unto another as they watched the tower, and they noticed that the second level of the tower started flashing multiple colour of light

” ohhh It seems you are in luck, even when you the one given the dirty job to receive the normal students, there are alot of good seedlings among the chick’s under your judistriction, Duran! , are you planning on taking anyone as your personal disciple? ”

The old man asked as he gently sipped on his wine cup and Duran had a small smile on his face as he faced him

” I would only be considering receiving a disciple if any student shows a general level potential, if not i won’t even budge , I don’t want to rear mages that I won’t be able to reap from in the future or mages that won’t be strong enough to complete some basic tasks for me! ”

The old man seems to be in deep thought as he thought of what Duran just said and his look changed from the carefree one to a more serious one In an instant

” I happen to hear a whisper on how you kinda twinkle with the result of the instructor choosing and assigned a whole clan of Mages towards a single instructor”

” at first I thought maybe it might have been the intention of the clan or the instructor was just close to the clan in question only for another whisper to deliver another message to me saying the instructor in question also happens to be instructor Terran, so if you don’t mind explaining, what exactly are you trying to do? ”

The old man finished speaking and his face returned to his nonchalant look as he continued sipping the wine but the air around his started making cracking sounds like space was being folded and destroyed constantly

The look on Duran’s face was not as simple as before as he frown and a brown coloured hue radiated around his body, trying to protect him from the old man’s oppression

” i just felt it has been long since any new student has been left under Instructor Terran, and since we all know he is not perfect I just felt It would be better to leave only those that were familiar with each other under him, That way it’s easier for them to watch out for each other ”

Duran answered with great difficulty before the oppressive energy dissappeared

” just don’t let me find out that you have any hand in meddling in the academy issues due to external forces, I can always over look internal fighting but if your decision was because of another force then you should just clean your neck and wait cause that Mad Dog would come for you and won’t hesitate to kill you”

” he hates when external forces tries to control the things that happens in the academy and that is why we have not been improving like the other supported Mage Academies and are being restricted instead as they are waiting for the time our high rank Powers decline and so they could Strike our weak points , so don’t give that Mad Dog a reason to kill you” the old man finished his sentence and got up as he made his way out of the hall

” this enrollment is all yours I don’t know why those old foggies are still hell bent on making me do the supervising work, i should be resting and waiting for my retirement!” the old man kept mumbling to himself as he walked away but even Duran could still hear due to his cultivation level , his hands behind his back as his words made beads of sweats appear on his Duran’s forehead

He thought about what the old man said and frown, the War God Mage Academy had not being supported by the capital that much, because they never did any favours for the nobles in the capitals or allowed them To stretch there hands into the controlling of the academy

The Old Dean of the academy had made it clear that his academy was for all, so the nobles could give upon there desire to be in control there

and all his disciples that later became Elders or enforcers also made sure that the factions of the capital mages were restricted in the war God Mage Academy and that was one of the reasons why there funds was restricted too

Since it was the nobles that control the funds that gets distributed to the academies, the academy has been surviving due to there expenditure into the second Dimension, though it is very dangerous but such battles have made it capable for them to be able to produce top battle mages that are all exceptional Than other mages from other academies

But among all, The Old dean’s last disciple was nickedname ’Mad Dog’ because of how rash he was at attacking, he only saw things in black and white, you were either with the academy or not

And he also had the strength to back up his rash behaviour, if not he would have been killed a long time ago.

alot of factions have tried to recruit him but he was too loyal to the academy, it was said that the old Dean had picked him up from the streets, brought him up, and adopted him as his

And that was why he had dedicated his all back to the Dean’s most treasured possession which is the academy, Duran shivered just thinking about the last person that tried to sneaked into the academy that got captured by The Mad Dog and he really wished he had not tried to Co operate with the enforcer from the Blaze Clan as he was preparing to erase all links with them as soon as possible.
