Final Match 1.

“Begin!” The referee’s voice boomed through the arena as the final match between the Holy Grail Academy and the Bloodline Academy commenced.

Like previous matches, the crowd erupted into enthusiastic cheers, fervently supporting their respective team captains.

“Well, it has all come down to this,” Alec muttered to himself, his hands intertwined as they covered his mouth.

His head bowed, lost in deep contemplation, the intense battles of the second round stirred thoughts within him.

Alec wondered if he would be able to defeat all five members of an opposing team without his golems.

If any of the other captains from the Great 8 academies could hear his thoughts right now, they would undoubtedly be tempted to blast him away with their spells.

Even though they exuded confidence in their ability to triumph in one-on-one matches against their own team members, facing multiple consecutive battles without rest would take a toll on both their physical bodies and mana pools.
