The Golem Mage

Alec and the gang resumed life with a newfound intensity, Although their senior had appeared that day to save them , but he had also vanished just as quickly, leaving them feeling like they had encountered a ghost.

They made sure to attend all the public classes related to their respective elemental affinities, Alec was adamant about them going out in pairs and strictly forbade any of them from walking alone.

In just a few days at the academy, Alec could sense the malevolent intentions directed at them, They had even come close to clashing with some direct disciples of other instructors more than once.

-----

”Today, I will be teaching you all the basics and differences between what is known as a Space Gate and a Space Passage, But first, I want to ask, who would like to explain to us what a space gate is?”

Instructor Walter asked, He was the most beloved instructor among the common students since he taught general knowledge and held the most public classes.

However, the other students with private instructors didn’t hold him in the same regard, Except for Alec and his gang, who were the only students with private instructor that still attended his class, the rest of the students that were assigned Instructors as masters looked down on Instructor Walter.

They dismissed him because of his age and the fact that he was only a Tier 6 Mage, even though he was rumored to have extensive experience compared to most instructors.

The other student mages only seemed interested in flashy spells with high attack power, and they showed little interest in the general knowledge class that Instructor Walter consistently held.

Alec and the gang attended his classes because their instructor had recommended it to them, At first, Arthur had thought it beneath them, but Agnes’s relentless water ball attacks had forced him to agree to Alec’s request.

Alec believed that since their instructors had not provided them with private lessons, it was better for them to seek knowledge even if it came from public classes.

Almost everyone in the class, except for the Gordon clan members, quickly raised their hands after hearing Instructor Walter’s question, The eager looks on their faces were so obvious that it even made the Gordon clansmen wonder when it became a happy thing to answer questions in class.

Alec remembered that back in his old world, even if he knew the answer to a question, he preferred not saying anything out of fear of being wrong and ending up embarrassed.

”Yes, you there, Could you please answer the question for us?”

Instructor Walter’s eyes scanned the class before landing on Knight, who looked like a lost goat.

It quickly dawned on the Gordon clansmen in the classroom that in Instructor Walter’s class, he would often choose students who seemed reluctant to answer, as he believed those who had their hands raised already knew the answer.

the rest mages students understood this behavior of his, as they had more classes with him, and they internally agreed to always raise their hands regardless of whether they knew the answer or not.

”Um, I think a space gate is something that connects our world to the second dimension and allows them to invade our world whenever the Blood Moon appears,”

Knight answered the question to the best of his abilities while scratching his head, Instructor Walter had a slight smile on his face before telling Knight to sit down.

”You see, the answer that young man gave is probably right from a layman’s understanding, but if you ask me, I would say he is incredibly wrong!” Instructor Walter’s response surprised the whole class.

”To truly understand all this, I would have to explain an old history, You see, there were once three realms: the human realm, which is where we live; the abyss, which we now call the second dimension; and the divine realm, which can no longer be located.”

” Unknowingly, the three realms were separated, and humans stopped progressing without any pressure or competition, It was later realized that the Abyss realm was still near us but existed in an inverse world, rotating around our own realm.”

” The moment the red moon occurs is when both worlds align completely, facing each other directly and without any space in between, In the past, this alignment was called an eclipse, but due to the loss of many people and the restrictions imposed by the moon, which seems to have been programmed by a deity, it was changed to the Blood Moon.”

” When our realms are aligned, the creatures from the Abyss realm are able to jump through the space gate to our world, Although we have made many guesses, we have yet to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why they continue to attack us, Their world is richer than ours, whether in resources or the environment for cultivation, But do you think only they can travel through space to our world?”

Instructor Walter finished his explanation with a question leaving the students in suspense, and the Gordon clansmen at the back of the class had grim expressions on their faces.

Alec suspected that the Goblins and the Fridall clan had some kind of agreement with each other, Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to plan such a perfect ambush.

Although the idea had always been at the back of Alec’s mind, he had dismissed it as impossible since humans were not able to access the second Dimension like the creatures could enter their own human realm, However, the instructor’s words ignited a sudden awakening within him.

”Humans can also enter the second Dimension, and we are not restricted by the Blood Moon either, We can enter anytime as long as we have a space passage!” Instructor Walter said and Alec exclaimed in shock.

Alec’s understanding of the second Dimension creatures crumbled before him as he heard what Walter said, This revelation was not only happening to him; most of the students in the class were also shocked by the news.

As the students were still processing the revelation that humans could enter the second Dimension, a group of impeccably dressed mages strolled past the free tutorial being conducted by Walter.

The leading mage couldn’t help but sneer,

”Look at these suckers, scrambling for any free class they can find, But they’ll never reach our level as chosen mages with the support of our instructors.”

His gaze shifted towards Alec, who was tucked away at the back with his gang.

”And who’s that?, is that not Alec, the one they call The so-called ’rookie king’ Why is he attending a free class?”

One of the mages walking with him pointed at Alec, drawing attention to his presence, Despite Alec’s reserved nature, his face was widely known throughout the school as one of the two mages who had reached the ninth level of the tower.

Alec’s low-key demeanor didn’t exempt him from being the talk of the academy, The leading mage gritted his teeth, consumed by envy and bitter jealousy at Alec’s fame and talent.

”What’s so special about him? I bet he won’t make much progress in the future, Do you all not know who his master is?, It’s that poor and dispirited instructor Terran, And not only that, Alec is merely a genius from a mid-tier clan”

”No matter how hard he struggles, he’ll never be able to match the real geniuses and privileged children from high-tier clans. ”

The leading mage’s envy and jealousy had clouded his sense of reasoning, leading him to insult even an instructor.

However, his group saw him in a new light, recognizing his false bravado, They all laughed together, mocking instructor Terran for not having reached the Tier 8 Mage realms, despite being hailed as a generation genius in the War God Mage Academy.
