The Golem Mage

[> The Origin Spear – Thrust Insufficient Mana remaining!]

A system message appeared before Legion, although he could fire mass destruction bullets, he couldn’t do so continuously as it consumed a large portion of his mana.

”Well, if I can’t kill with big fireworks, I’ll just do it with smaller ones!” Legion muttered to himself as he positioned the launcher on his right shoulder and aimed his left hand at the crawling sea demon commander.

Gun muzzles emerged from his handguard, and he fired lasers at the last sea demon commander, ensuring it was dead.

”That’s better!”

[> Warning, 10% energy remaining]

Receiving another warning didn’t seem to faze Legion as he concentrated on absorbing mana from the air to replenish his depleted reserves, all the while keeping an eye on his master who was about to engage in combat with the Peak Tier 5 sea demon leader, as they were both levitating in the air.

Back at the academy, Selene was observed watching a water screen, which displayed the entire team that had finally completed their mission and was now waiting for Alec to regroup with them before returning to the Academy.

”So, how is our academy team of soldiers doing?” General Edwards’s voice echoed as Selene was compelled to turn and see the General entering her quarters with the new Dean.

She bowed respectfully to the Dean and the General, to which the new Dean simply gestured for her to relax, finding the formality between them somewhat awkward.

”Welcome to my humble abode, Dean!” Selene greeted, and the Dean nodded in acknowledgment.

”The pleasure is all mine, i must express my gratitude for your efforts in devising the training regimen for this year’s students, the instructors have become complacent, and there’s a lack of interest in preparing the students for the inter-academy competition, given there’s no reward attached to it,” the Dean remarked.

”If it weren’t for your willingness to volunteer, we would be in disarray, as this has been the case in the past,” the Dean added, a smile gracing his face.

”It’s my pleasure. I felt compelled to contribute one last act before I leave this academy that I’ve come to consider my home for so long,” Selene responded.

”We appreciate it greatly, I have one more request: would you consider being the team’s coordinator for the competition?” the Dean inquired, causing Selene to freeze in surprise.

”But isn’t that typically a role for an instructor—”

She was mid-sentence when the Dean interjected,

”I am the Dean, and I have the authority to appoint whomever I choose, let’s not overlook the fact that you are as capable as some of the instructors we have, so It would be an honour for the Academy team to be coordinated by the academy’s strongest student, Please, say yes to my request,” the Dean urged, and Selene found herself unable to refuse after such an appeal.

”This humble disciple accepts the task!” Selene declared, and the Dean nodded in approval as they all turned their attention to the team on the water screen, which seemed to have grown significantly after their time in the wilderness on their own.
