All of this happened in a very short span of ti, as Alec was finally able to close in on Roderic, who swung his sword sideways to et him, but before the blade could reach, the smoke behind Alec surged forward, wrapping around him.
The sword Qi Roderic released was scattered and thwarted by the thick smoke that almost engulfed Alec.
It was then Roderic realised how the smoke was reacting to Alec—almost like so type of protective barrier, all this while he’d been wondering why Alec had dashed into the explosion like so mage on a suicide mission.
Now he was starting to get an idea. He glanced back toward Serena while retreating, as Alec’s figure vanished again inside the spreading smoke fog, leaving him completely unsure of Alec’s exact position.
The way the smoke moved gave him a bad feeling that Alec could move freely within it.
“I think you’ll have to get your hands dirty for this one Serena, you can’t sit it out again,” Roderic said as he stared into the fog, unsure of what was really happening.
Before facing the War God Mage Academy, he’d done a bit of research, and from what he’d learned, they weren’t supposed to be anything special.
Reports said they were just an academy that recently had a big break and regained so recognition after their kingdom’s inter-academy competition, but when he checked the academies that perford well, he found almost nothing concrete on the War God Mage team.
All his informants had told him was the sa thing: be wary of Alec Gordons. As if there was going to be any trouble winning this match, it would co from Alec.
Yet from the very start, from that first exchange till now, he still couldn’t clearly say what Alec’s specialty was, all he had seen was a guy testing small tricks here and there, like he was trying out different things just to see what worked.

Knight briefly broke eye contact with Cassian to check on the rest of the team, on one side, Pale had completely changed his fighting style and now looked every bit like the mage who once used to compete with Lucas, as he kept Grayson Holt fully occupied.
On the other side, Endrick was still shuffling around, and though it looked embarrassing, however he was only doing what Alec had instructed him to do.
Before the battle began, Alec had told him to relax and move around the ring, just doing his thing.
Even now, Endrick was still following Alec’s orders, and Alec had asked him to look after Sophia so she wouldn’t be taken out, while she focused on supporting him.
Only Pale had been given free rein, as he was the variable Alec hoped would surprise everyone.
And yet, the person standing in front of Knight had sohow managed to eliminate Sophia—the very person he’d been told to protect.
“Why are you looking at like that?” Cassian asked, twirling both guns in the air before smoothly slotting them back into the holsters under his arms.
“Just so you know, you’re going to wish you never did that with the amount of pain I’m about to inflict on you.” Knight said as he dashed forward, as he ran, the dual daggers in his hands dissolved into dark smoke, reverting into their tattoo forms.
But while Knight charged, Cassian only shook his head, looking at him like a dead man walking.
“You don’t have the right to threaten anymore.”
As Cassian spoke, he began making sharp motions in the air with his hands, like he was dragging out an invisible weapon.
