Terran Dunce was finally released by Alderic and was just stepping out of the space passage that headed back to the Academy, when he noticed the two Tier 8 mages that guard the space gates staring at him weirdly.
"I thought the old Dean ordered you to stay away from the all Orc villages space passages and Abyss for a while so you don’t get yourself killed, Why do you keep diving in all the time?, Are you trying to start a High rank realm war between the academy and the Orcs?" the grumpy Tier 8 Mage said, staring at Terran.
Terran snorted back without bothering to respond.
"I think Terran has actually been on his best behaviour, but his disciple, on the other hand, has been a big headache, Every time he goes into the Abyss, it’s thrown into a large battle zone where many second Dimension races and creatures die."
"Now I’m wondering who is the most prominent troublemaker in the Abyss between you at your prime and your young disciple. "
" I just feel if we let those little bastards in anytime soon, a war we can’t handle would be happening soon," the nicer Tier 8 said aloud as he held his chin, trying to figure out who was causing more trouble.
"Do you even need to ask to know that crazy Alec is the one?, He is so young and already disturbing the whole Orc space passage regions, I can only imagine what he would do if he reached the stage Terran was at that time, We have to place restrictions on that boy quickly!"
"On his first adventure, he made a part of the divine tree region go into unrest, On the second adventure, he stole from a whole village of Orcs all by himself with the help of his little group, causing a huge battle that later escalated to small wars between the Orcs, the plant lifeforms, and the human mages spearheaded by that foolish captain."
"There were losses among all three powers, with none of them even able to mine from that mine again till date, but Alec got a very large share out of it, making him a clear winner in a situation where even Tier 3 mages were dying, and he was just a Tier 2 Mage then."
"Now, on his latest visit, the whole space was restricted, we almost lost this passage, Though we don’t know what he did this time, my instinct tells me he must have had something to do with why the war happened smoothly."
The grumpy Tier 8 mage teased in a joking manner as he recounted Alec’s adventures.
"I can’t tell if you’re a fan or anti-fan of my disciple, Rowan," Terran quipped to the grumpy Tier 8.
"Well, you can’t deny that he definitely attracts trouble and large-scale battles to himself," the other Tier 8 added, prompting Terran to shake his head and fly off towards his peak.
"I thought you were going to mention that his disciple is causing more problems for him to deal with again," the grumpy mage remarked, glancing at his second, who was almost visibly grinning with mischief.
" Now why would I do that?, If I inform him, he’ll have to go get Alec, and Alec won’t be able to handle them the way I want, Those mages have been causing quite a ruckus in our academy, it’s about time they face the consequences, it’s just unfortunate that Alec is the only one I can count on" the second mage explained.
"And yet I’m the one painted as the villain, Your smile alone betrays your wicked intentions, How do they not see through it?" the grumpy mage questioned.
"Rowan, people believe what they want to see," the second mage cryptically replied.

Alec strutted around the stage, basking in the cheers of the mages from the War God Mage Academy, his golems still standing resolute at the arena’s edge.
He had not only proven his ability to triumph with overwhelming numbers but also his capability to handle any situation that spiralled out of control and required his intervention.
Bolton observed Iver Dragonmir’s disapproving expression as Asher’s failed attempt to defeat Alec unfolded.
"You must end that boy, I don’t care how you do it, you are my final hope now, I will take full responsibility for whatever may come, and I am certain the War God Mage Academy wouldn’t dare touch a member of the Dragonmir clan because of a genius from a mid-tier clan meeting his demise," Bolton instructed Iver, who sighed in response.
"I will do what needs to be done, rest assured, I may not be able to vanquish him in one stroke, but I will restore both my and the academy’s honour,"
Iver declared as he stepped onto the stage, as Alec was just about to depart.
"We still have a battle to finish, you can’t leave just yet," Iver stated firmly to Alec, who simply turned to face him with a steely gaze.
"I definitely don’t battle opponents I’ve defeated before," Alec remarked lightly.
"Scared of losing, are you?, Considering you’ve never tasted defeat in a duel, it’s understandable if you’re hesitant to face me, Could it be that you fear a Tier 4 Mage like me might be too much for you to handle?" Iver taunted Alec, a smug smile playing on his lips.
As Alec halted his steps and turned back to face him.
"Let’s settle this once and for all, then," Alec responded firmly.
"Don’t you need to rest and replenish your mana?, I wouldn’t want you using that as an excuse when I emerge victorious later," Iver retorted, attempting to maintain a facade of sincerity.
"Quit playing games with me, we both know I didn’t take my previous match seriously, which means I’m still near the peak of my mana reserves, if you truly want to fight, bring it on," Alec growled, his tone serious.
Iver studied Alec’s expression and realized that Alec was deadly serious about engaging in a battle.
"This won’t be like our last encounter, whatever you throw at me, I’ll shatter it and demonstrate the disparity between a mid-rank mage and a low-rank one, it won’t be like how you defeated me in the Tier 1 realm back then" Iver declared confidently, exposing the secret he wanted to hide the most.
"I was hoping you wouldn’t bore me, as I have no intention of holding back!" Alec shot back.
The two mages faced off, their eyes locked in a silent challenge, while the tense crowd awaited the outcome, holding their breath in anticipation.
With a resounding bang, Alec and Iver vanished from view, reappearing at the center of the battle ring.
Their fists collided in a fierce clash for dominance, showcasing a level of skill and speed that surpassed Alec’s previous bout.
As their lightning-fast movements unfolded, it became apparent to the spectators that Alec had not revealed his full power in his previous battles with Asher.
The sheer intensity of this exchange would have been enough to swiftly defeat Asher with a single blow.
"Not bad for a Tier 4 mage at all, you’re strong!" Alec complimented with a laugh, acknowledging Iver’s prowess.
"Coming from you, that means funny, let’s keep this going," Iver Dragonmir responded, his chuckle betraying the thrill of the battle raging within him as Alec adeptly countered his attack.
They both broke free from their clash before raising their hands to deliver another punch.
But this time, Iver’s right hand was covered in Azure-coloured dragon scales, while Alec’s hand was encased in a red Salamander gauntlet.
With a resounding bang, a massive shockwave erupted, disturbing the air around them to the extent that even the spectators seated around the arena felt the impact of their collision.
Sparkles of energy scattered from the point where the fists of both mages met in a dazzling display.
As they exchanged blows, a wild smile graced their faces, indicating that they were thoroughly enjoying the intensity of the battle.
