Yann glanced disdainfully at the oncoming spear, and with a swift motion, the just formed Spear of Darkness surged forward, piercing through the spear.
Two spears composed of different magical elements collided in mid-air.
All eyes were drawn to them, wondering what would unfold between these two weapons. How formidable could the undead warrior, focused on two fronts, truly be?
"Bang!!" The two spears clashed, darkness against earthy yellow!
To everyone's surprise, the earthy yellow spear, upon meeting the Spear of Darkness, seemed as fragile as paper, easily pierced without resistance, unleashing the unrelenting force of darkness in the direction of the sound!
If it struck a person, it would be a bloody tragedy.
"The Claw of Stone Beast!" Another earth elemental teacher suddenly appeared on the field, summoning forth a magical construct made of stone, resembling a bear's paw.
This was not just an ordinary manifestation of magic reserved for fourth-tier or higher mages, but a sophisticated form of advanced magic crafted using special magical circuits. The Claw of Stone Beast boasted formidable defense and extraordinary flexibility, capable of transforming into a fist for attack or a hand to grasp enemies.
It was said that the mage who invented this magic had an epiphany after battling an eighth-tier magical beast, the Earth Bear. Truly, it epitomized the intermediate magic of the earth element, ranging from fourth to sixth tier!
The Claw of Stone Beast suddenly emerged from the ground, seizing the Spear of Darkness descending from the sky, and in a thunderous explosion, both it and the Spear of Darkness were annihilated.
"Halt! What are you two engaged in?" The earth elemental referee hurried to the arena, exclaiming upon witnessing the startling scene unfolding on the platform.
It was an unbelievable sight indeed, a fifth-tier mage being subdued and attacked by an undead warrior oozing with darkness. Had he arrived a moment later without diverting the attention of this undead warrior, the Spear of Darkness would have struck the wind elemental referee directly.
"Qin Liye, come and help me quickly! This magic pet has gone mad, daring to attack a teacher, and his owner, you go and subdue that female student!" The earth elemental referee's name turned out to be Qin Liye.
Qin Liye frowned. Something seemed off about this situation. Why would this student act so recklessly if the wind elemental mage hadn't done anything excessive? He was well aware of the reputation of this wind elemental mage among the faculty—a black sheep.
Honestly, Qin Liye wasn't inclined to assist, but considering both were teachers, it seemed unjust to refrain from helping.
Upon hearing that the wind elemental mage intended to have someone capture Niya, Yann's grip tightened involuntarily!
At the same time, Yann warned Qin Liye with a glance.
Just as Qin Liye hesitated, torn between aiding or not, another twist occurred.
"Cease this altercation! It's unbecoming!" A voice resonated from afar.
At the sound of this voice, both the wind elemental referee and Qin Liye were momentarily stunned. They both knew who the owner of this voice was, and his weight in this situation.
Although none of the students recognized the owner of this voice, they all gasped simultaneously!
An elderly man, carrying a sickle-spear on his back, was slowly walking in mid-air. To say he was walking slowly would be incorrect, for although he seemed to take only one step, each step covered dozens of meters!
Teleportation Mastery—this man's strides had reached such a level! Moreover, he traversed the air as a warrior!
His level was undoubtedly that of a seventh-tier or higher expert!
Throughout the entire academy, only the vice deans possessed such strength! And perhaps a few exceptional individuals in the inner court!
It was evident that this elderly man couldn't be a student of the inner court, and his identity was now unmistakable!
"Vice Dean!" The students exclaimed excitedly, rising from their seats.
The academy had many teachers, but most were only fifth or sixth-tier mages. Higher-tier mages or warriors above sixth tier were rarely seen.
The vice deans were more like figureheads used to maintain order and prestige in the academy, rather than teaching courses. Of course, this excluded the students of the inner court.
Thus, the sight of vice deans was a cause for excitement among the students.
"Vice Dean Orv!" Two referee teachers also greeted.
Orv nodded in acknowledgment, then with a swift motion, approached the tense arena.
"Drop your weapons and save your words until calm has been restored." Orv commanded Yann and the others.
Qin Liye promptly retracted his magic, standing obediently in place. After all, this matter had nothing to do with him; he had only come over out of kindness.
Even if there were any blame, it wouldn't fall on him.
Sensing the power emanating from the elderly man named Orv, Yann ceased the magical formations on his armor. Despite his current imposing demeanor, it was merely due to the weakness of his opponents and lack of preparation. If he were to confront a sixth-tier mage, he would be defeated within minutes, let alone facing a high-level warrior like Orv.
Yann knew better than to engage in conflict when the situation outweighed his capabilities.
With Yann retracting his magic, the wind elemental referee weakly knelt on the ground, gasping for air.
The atmosphere remained tense, but under Orv's intervention, the possibility of further conflict was averted.
However, Yann and Orv unexpectedly locked eyes, and no one knew what was silently communicated between them.
After scrutinizing Yann for a while, Orv shifted his gaze to the wind elemental referee.
"You, come with me." Orv pointed at the wind elemental referee.
"Vice Dean... they..." The wind elemental referee staggered to his feet, pointing at Yann and Niya.
"Hmph!" Orv snorted coldly, his expression frosty as he addressed the wind elemental referee, "I care not about their actions, but now you need to come with me to the administration office!"
With that, Orv pulled the wind elemental referee up from the ground and, with a swift movement, flew into the air, then teleported several steps away, leaving the arena amidst the astonished gazes of the onlookers.
