The Golem Mage

633: Calling Out The Teams 2 633: Calling Out The Teams 2 The War God Academy team began to emerge from the newly opened tunnel door, as they were greeted by a raucous crowd.

Leading the Team’s charge were Selene and, surprisingly, Beatrice, both waving enthusiastically at the audience.

They were all dressed in sleek black uniforms with red trim, the War God Academy team looked undeniably cool and bad ass, the only down side to all of this was the fact that their uniform was of low quality.

Yet it was clear their entire fan base was eagerly anticipating one individual.

And when he finally appeared as the last member of the War God Mage team, the cheers intensified, with his name—“Alec!!!”—echoing throughout the Grand Arena Colosseum.

Alec walked forward slowly, waving as he and his teammates approached the center of the battlefield, just a few meters from the dividing line, that divided both teams.

“Bow!” commanded the red-haired referee, causing the Both teams to bow toward each other, extending their hands cupped forward in a gesture of respect.

As Alec bowed, he caught the unsettling gaze of the Onyx Academy captain, whose dark circles made him appear more zombie-like than human.

After this brief exchange of respect, it was time for the teams to introduce themselves.

The referee tossed two small talisman tickets to the instructors, who tore them open on the spot.

Causing a portal materialized behind them, swiftly pulling them in as they vanished from the stage, only to reappear on assigned seat in the third section of the VIP region, where they would watch their teams compete.

“It is time to introduce yourselves!” the referee announced, directing his attention first to the Onyx Academy corner.

“Dorian Voss, Peak Tier 5 Mage, captain of the Onyx Academy team!”

“Morgana Voss, High Tier 5 Mage, vice captain of the Onyx Academy team!”

“Draven Nightshade, High Tier 5 Mage, member of the Onyx Academy team!”

One by one, each member of Onyx Academy introduced themselves, sharing their realm and position within the team.

By the end, it was confirmed that every single member of Onyx Academy was a Tier 5 mage.

This revelation sent a chill through the audience as some of them pondered whether they had been that impressive in their first year or if this generation was simply exceptional.

Among the team, the six reserve members were all low Tier 5 mages, while the other two main members were Kael, a Mid Tier 5 Mage, and Grimwood, a low Tier 5 Mage.

After the introductions of the Onyx team concluded, some supporters of War God Academy began to doubt how their team could possibly secure a victory.

However, any concerns were quickly dismissed by ardent fans of Alec, who believed he would lead the War God Academy team to a comeback, as he always did.

“Alec Gordons, Low Tier 5 Mage, Captain of the War God Academy team!” Alec announced.

Although he was the captain with the lowest Mage realm, but the crowd seemed to overlook that fact.

His previous performances had made many forget that he wasn’t on the same level as the other captains from the great 8 academies, and due to his achievements, they had forgotten that there was a three small tier gap, between him and the other captains

His victories against the Great Eight academies members had overshadowed his status as a low Tier 5 mage.

But now, as he made this announcement reminding them of his realm, it became apparent just how remarkable he was.

The crowd began to envision how the competition would have unfolded if he had ever reached the Peak Tier 5 Mage realm like the other great eight academy captains.

“If Alec were in the same realm as the other captains… Forget it, no one would be foolish enough to challenge him.

If there’s anyone who could match him in the same realm, it would only be Dragov or Vincent,” one of Alec’s hard-core fans said with such confidence, as though he could predict the future.

“Beatrice Marionette, Low Tier 5 Mage, Vice Captain of the War God Academy team!” Despite the admiration for Alec, the announcements continued.

“Lucas Blade, Low Tier 5 Mage, member of the War God Academy team!”

“Pale Zero, Low Tier 5 Mage…”

“Endrick Gordons, Low Tier 5 Mage…”

“Arthur Gordons, Low Tier 5 Mage…”

“Brandon Gordons, Low Tier 5 Mage…”

Initially, after both Lucas and Beatrice introduced themselves as Low Tier 5 Mages, the crowd erupted in cheers, having known about their breakthroughs to the Tier 5 Mage Realm for some time since the last match.

However, when the next member, Pale, declared himself a Low Tier 5 Mage, the War God Academy supporters roared even louder, thrilled by another major upgrade.

While they didn’t expect him to have a massive impact given the opponents’ strength, they at least believed he could hold his own long enough for Alec or someone else to take advantage.

But as Endrick announced his realm, the crowd’s cheers began to wane.

This included the staunch supporters of War God Academy.

Then, when both Brandon and Arthur revealed their low Tier 5 status, the entire arena fell into a stunned silence.

“Is it just me, or did most of the War God Academy team just leap into the Tier 5 Mage Realm in a matter of days?

Has Tier 5 suddenly become that easy?” someone in the crowd whispered, voicing the collective disbelief.

“That’s not even the scary part—why are all of them in the same realm?

Low Tier 5, including the captain Alec, is this some kind of trend for the War God Academy team?” someone else remarked, confusion lacing their voice.

“I don’t know, but seeing how many Gordons clan members are on the team, maybe it’s one of the executive clans controlling the War God Academy,” another mage speculated.

“But that can’t be right.

The War God Academy doesn’t allow outside clans to meddle in their affairs.

So, if that many members of the same clan are on the team, it means that clan is strong on its own.

The weird thing is, I’ve never even heard of the Gordons clan until when this competition began,” another person chimed in, baffled.

“Agnes Gordons, Peak Tier 4 Mage…” Agnes started to announce her realm.

As Agnes stepped forward, a collective sigh of relief swept through the Royal Arena.

It seemed as though many had started to suspect that the War God Academy had done something illegal to boost their team to the Tier 5 Mage Realm just to secure a chance of victory in the third round.

But after hearing Agnes realm they all settled down and started to feel things were normal again.
