48 Combat Magicians Part 3 (1/2)

The battle between the 4 academies continued and Wallace was able to notice the quirks of each academy that weren't on the intelligence report from the student council.

As a member of the council, Wallace was able to see and share to his fellow participants the information that they've gathered. Aaron, the student council president had given him some printed copy of these intelligence reports allowing them to better understand their opponents.

Some of the information they have were like how Stoneheimer's magic engineer instructors, alumnus, and current students are all specializing in earth and wind based elemental pathway.

The Skywalker specializes as well in wide variety of pathways as long as they are fast paced spells. The academy believes that pursuing speed casting were the right path in magician's battle.

The Mystic Gate academy, known for it's mana artifact creations pursued elemental combinations. They are not satisfied with an elemental spells and like to combine their elemental pathway. This is a very powerful path but also quite difficult for mana technicians and combat mages as well. Luckily, only 2nd or 3rd year student of this academy is capable of creating and utilizing the mana artifact.

Anyway, almost all 1st years would use their own acquired knowledge in this competition instead of the path that the academy had taken.

Compared to Leonhearts Academy, it doesn't specialize anything in artifact forging but known for its amazing training method for combat magicians allowing those who graduate here to be sought after.

It isn't bad to have specialization in artifact since you have to consider the future.

The mana artifact have grades depending it's complexity. Highest rank is Grade A and lowest is Grade C. But the grades magic spells or skills thats could be used have 5 ranges. The highest rank this time is Grade 5 and lowest is Grade 1.

The artifact that Wallace made containing Magic Jammer Canceller, was graded A because of it's complexity.

The Grade C complexity were those standard mana artifact that contains mana spells that could be released easily by even a rookie magicians and has less valuable materials in it's mana artifiact.

With all those said, only those magic engineer who reached a profound understanding in their elemental pathway was able to create a Grade 5 magic spell. As matter of fact there weren't even a dozen of them recorded in the whole Zairus. So it was said that its better for mana technicians right now to have them select an elemental pathway they like to further study especially when they became magic engineers.

The battle between the 4 academies lasted only for half an hour.

”Amazing, those students from Mystic Gate has some kind of ability somehow interferes in magic casting.”

”All the mana artifact that is being used by the 4 academies were Grade C with Grade 1 or Grade 2 spell as the limits. The spell that they're using must be the unique magic spell that is only for this magic competition.”

”That's true, I haven't heard of any spell that could stop magicians on casting except the legendary magic jammer.”

Everyone who has heard of this nodded as an agreement. The audience watching the battle below couldn't help but be amazed in that part. It seems that the Mystic Gate Academy has sufficiently prepared.

Mystic Gate won completely against Stoneheimer scoring 3-0 and Skywalker had only lost the first battle against Eternal Fey scoring 3-1.

After about 5 minutes of cleaning the battlefield or stage, dozen of automatons stood guard at the edges of the arena. Only the referees are allowed on the stage during the battle.

Wallace took notice of these automatons as he was very interested on how they were made and very much like to have one for his use.

'Hmm.. Are they guarding the edges of arena to prevent any misfire to the audience as well?'

Wallace spread his Divine Sense to check the automatons and while doing so, he noticed a Lamat stone which has a dormant magic jammers contained in each of them! It seems that it is a second protection aside from the barriers protecting the audience from any misfires of these combat magicians.
