The Golem Mage

Just before Instructor Walter could continue with his lesson, a middle-aged man clad in a beast armor set entered the classroom and whispered something to Instructor Walter.

Within seconds, his expression shifted from surprise to shock, and he nodded towards the man who then left the class.

Instructor Walter maintained a gentle smile as he addressed the whole class.

"I am extremely sorry, but I must end today’s class here, An important event has come up, and I will inform you when the next class will be held through the Announcement board."

The common mages grumbled and voiced their disappointment, but deep down, they knew that Instructor Walter owed them nothing, He was the only one who willingly taught them out of his kind nature.

His class was one of the few where students could learn various survival techniques in the magic world.

Today, it was unfortunate that their class was cut short, Despite their reluctance, they felt grateful for his efforts as they left the classroom.

As Alec stepped outside, he noticed a group of mages sneering and whispering amongst themselves, their gaze directed towards them, Arthur, who already hot temper and was still pissed , was about to confront them.

"It’s not worth it, Arthur, For now, we should try to keep a low profile,"

Alec quietly advised.

"There are still many people trying to gather information about us, The less we act, the less they will know about our abilities and how to deal with us."

Arthur reluctantly backed down, unable to disobey Alec’s wise words, As they continued their journey back to their peak, a mage dressed in an icy blue mage robe approached them, accompanied by a group of mages.

"Well, well, if it isn’t the Blaze Clan’s bastard, trying to act all high and mighty,"

the mage taunted, his words infused with mana that spread to almost all the mages around, With their enhanced hearing, they could clearly hear the broadcasted insult, courtesy of the mage from the Ancient Zero clan.

Although many mages might not have understood the significance of those words, But Alec and the Gordons clansmen quickly recognized their intended target.

Alec’s legs felt like they were rooted to the ground, trembling with intense anger, The rest of the gang wisely kept their distance, sensing his fury.

He locked eyes with the mage who had spoken, desperately trying to recall where he had seen him before, The memory eluded him, but a familiar feeling lingered.

"That’s Pale Zero, from the Ancient Zero clan,"

Agnes interjected, sharing her gathered knowledge in the few days she had spent at the academy,

"Although he is said to come from a branch clan, a reliable source has informed me that he is from the main clan ancient Clan, It seems he was sent here as a form of punishment."

"Apparently, he ranked last within his clan’s younger generation Otherwise, he would have been studying at the prestigious academy in the capital alongside other chosen clan geniuses," Agnes continued to explain.

"If he defeats you, it implies that he aims to impress his clan’s elders, possibly hoping they will reconsider their decision, Even if they don’t reinstate him in the capital academy, where they have influence, they might still reward him for besting you," she concluded.

Arthur and Brandon exchanged surprised glances, wondering how Agnes had managed to establish such a network within the academy when they had all enrolled together.

She seemed to operate as Alec’s personal assistant, similar to the modern world, Only Knight appeared unfazed, having worked closely with her and aware of her resourcefulness.

"Why would he be rewarded if he defeats me?"

Alec asked in astonishment, unable to recall ever offending the Zero clan.

"It’s simple,"

Agnes replied.

"Because you are considered a half-blooded Blaze, with tainted blood from the core clan’s Bloodline, To the Zero clan, you are seen as significant as any other important member of the ancient Blaze clan. Let’s not forget that the Blaze and Zero clans are fierce rivals, incapable of reconciling their differences, Thus, even a small altercation like this is encouraged by the elders of both clans."

"What a pity,"

Alec muttered, disappointed by the situation, Pale Zero, unable to comprehend Alec and his gang’s conversation, decided to provoke Alec further, Unfazed by Alec’s use of golems, Pale Zero felt confident since Alec couldn’t summon them Due to the Restrictions on Mana, if not there is no way he would Challenge Alec as he knew there is no way he could defeat some like that who reached the ninth level of the Tower

Just like every other Mage they believed Alec was only that strong because of his golems.

However, according to the academy’s rules, spells and magic were forbidden within the Teaching premises, If they wanted to fight on campus, they were only allowed to use weapons and their own physical abilities.

"Just as I imagined, Alec is nothing but a coward, lacking the courage to fight back after being insulted,"

another mage standing beside Pale interjected, attempting to add fuel to the fire, As he noticed Pale’s satisfaction, he realized his intention was to provoke Alec further and incite him to anger.

"That’s enough, Arthur, Brandon, break their bones. If you feel your fists aren’t enough, use your swords and leave them disfigured, Let them think twice before daring to speak against us, Again " Alec commanded with a sinister smile.

"Agnes, Knight, stay out of this,"

Alec quickly ordered, Knight was about to protest, but when Alec cracked his neck to stare at him, he fell silent instantly.

"They may be powerful mages with extraordinary abilities, but I don’t believe they are much superior to us when our magical abilities are restrained, We will rely on our physical strength and battle techniques, honed from our experience in war and We will break them," Alec declared.

As Alec spoke, Arthur’s grin widened, stretching his lips until it almost seemed unnatural, Since their arrival at the school, they had restrained themselves, not wanting to offend anyone.

Yet, it was evident that most mages saw them in a negative light simply because they were Instructor Terran’s disciples, Arthur yearned for the freedom to act without restrictions to do something grand and shock the whole school, as they always did back in the clan.

"And here I was thinking I lost you to your gentleman act,"

Arthur chuckled heartily.

"How naive of me, You crazy fucker, you’ve just been restraining your demons, You’re even worse than the Gemini Star Mages of our clan, you sicko!"

Brandon raised his fists and assumed a fighting stance, clearly displaying his readiness for a battle, Meanwhile, Arthur burst into wild laughter.

The ten mages accompanying Pale were taken aback by Brandon’s stance, They had come here for a verbal exchange, never expecting that the Gordons clansmen would immediately resort to physical confrontation without uttering a word.

They exemplified the belief that problems should always be resolved with violence.

"What the fuck..."

the insulting mage started, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a sudden blow.

He had boldly approached, hoping to impress Pale, but he never expected that his actions would be met with a powerful punch, Witnessing the mage being sent flying and crashing to the ground, both the surrounding onlookers and Pale’s group were dumbfounded.

Alec cracked his fingers, emitting a satisfying crunching sound.

"Enough with the noise and talking, Let’s settle this with our fists, I’ll beat you all to a pulp,"

Alec declared, his smile slowly morphing into a twisted grin, With his strength surpassing a hundred on his stats , even his regular punches carried the force of (Peak) Tier 1 spells.

he clearly held the advantage in this Type of situation where Magic was restrained.

Since they were restricted from using spells in the teaching areas, their group was forced into a physical battle, While the opponents may possess the bodies of Tier 2 Mages, they would be utterly crushed if bombarded by peak Tier 1 spells, regardless of armor or defense, A thorough trashing awaited them for offending Alec’s Group.
