Eskinshire - Institute of Light Element
On top of the eye-catching crystal hill, the palace-looking institute with a dazzling light that soared high into the sky seemed busier than usual.
Hundreds of guards clad in brilliant white armor and golden cloaks were seen crowding the entirety of the mesmerizing hill, while inside, a group of two dozens consisted of magus enforcers and the institute's instructors were on alert as they stood guard around the God crystal.
pAn,Da n<0,>v,e1 "We must guard this palace at all costs!" said a female figure in a solemn tone, and everyone followed her words with their vigilance raised to the max. She was none other than Grand Magus Aurora, the person in charge of this place.
Still, despite their obedience towards her, her words made one of these people ask her a question.
"Master, if I may ask, who are we actually going to guard against? We have deactivated the teleportation gate, and I have not heard any report of any ships advancing towards this place."
The grand magus, however, did not immediately provide an explanation. She remained quiet as her beautiful face looked up at the sky, her eyes fixed on the moon-like construct that was the Magus Academy. An indescribable glint flashed across her eyes.
Instead of receiving an answer, the magus instructor who asked the question received glares from his two colleagues. Magus Miriel and Corlyn, both of them shot him a look that said not to question the grand magus' orders.
Then all of a sudden, the female grand magus spoke.
"It's starting."
Hearing that, even the two who glared at the magus instructor sported a confused look at Grand Magus Aurora's words. But such a reaction only lasted for a moment as they quickly heard something.
Inside the Eskinshire institute, apart from the 400 saint-level and 25 magus-level individuals, there were still 50 acolytes on their studies who had not gone to watch the tournament, and at this moment a commotion was heard from these acolytes who had remained in the boundary of the institute.
"What is going on?!"
Several of the acolytes rushed out of the palace in panic, showing the magus their glowing hands.
"We are being recalled; where are we recalled to, Master?"
Unfortunately for them, no one in this place seemed to have the answer. Grand Magus Aurora quickly studied the symbol on the palm of one of the acolytes and said in a solemn tone, "This is how they will get in! Be prepared!"
She immediately cast a spell on the acolytes, only to see the same surprised look appear on Urix's face as he received a similar notification. "Master, I.. Am I being recalled too? What is happening?"
"They found a way to enter without breaking the barrier; but we mustn't let them take over the God crystal or more will come. If that happens, it will spell the doom of the Magus Academy and us all."
While saying those words, Grand Magus Aurora was trying her best to stop the recalled spell from taking effect. Alas, her efforts seemed to be in vain as one by one the acolytes started vanishing. In exchange for their disappearance, she finally sensed the arrival of unwanted figures.
"The elves are here! Guard the God crystal at all costs!"
A total of fifty acolytes and one instructor, Urix Wellenstain, disappeared as they were transported away, and in exchange, fifty-one dark elves arrived at the Light Institute. Half of them exhibited the cultivation of magus realm, and amongst them there was one grand magus figure.
Grand Magus Aurora turned solemn as she recognized the other party as an infamous dark elf general from the frontline.
Meanwhile, the elves didn't immediately do anything upon arrival. They seemed to be surveying their surroundings, before finally an authoritative order sounded from their general.
"Destroy them all!!"
The elves instantly sprang into action, pouncing on the nearby magus with great ferocity. Likewise, the magus enforcers and instructors made their moves, darting towards the incoming enemies. A fierce battle ensued between the two sides, as one side tried to take possession of the God crystal while the other tried to defend it with all their might.
The same scene occurred across the 10 institutes of elements of the Magus Academy. All third-year acolytes were forcibly being teleported away, and in exchange, the same number of elves were arriving in their place.
####
Atrium - Institute of Darkness Element.
Due to its location situated so close to the academy, and with the fact that many of their magus instructors went missing or switched to the enemy's side entirely, the institute became the first one to fall.
####
Elder Respite - Institute of Plant Element.
The situation in this institute was not much different from the Darkness Insitute. Without their head instructor Grand Magus Yvere around, the sudden arrival of a hundred elves quickly took over the institute as they carried out wanton slaughter on anyone not their kin that they found.
Realizing they were unable to resist, under the lead of Magus Erica, a group of acolyte staff were seen running towards the thick forest.
####
Varuna - Institutes of Water Element.
Minutes after the invasion, Magus Carla activated the institute's defense that broke all the glass present within the building, flooding the institute while also obtaining help from the sea creatures. A Megalon Shark was seen ravaging two elves who were swept up by the ferocious current, chomping at their flesh and bones at the same time.
####
Astrapi - Institute of Lighting Element.
The institute was still standing strong as it was considered one of the most difficult places to attack due to its location in the air. Not only that, the airspace around the institute was filled with destructive lightning traps, giving the invading elves a lot of trouble in their endeavor.
####
Animus - Institutes of Earth Element.
The strong figure of Magus Darius could be seen as he stood his ground at the top floor of the castle that was situated in the middle of a desert storm. Gargantuan stone summons were seen guarding the entrance, creating an impenetrable defense that did not let a single enemy through.
"Those despicable elves will not destroy our institute; we shall prove that Earth element is the strongest of them all!"
#####
Glaces - Institute of Ice Element & Ventus - Institute of Wind Element.
Because the two institutes had the presence of their head – a grand magus, coupled with the extreme conditions they were in; frozen and stormy mountains respectively, the elves had a hard time attacking the two institutes.
####
Kinzo - Institute of Metal Element, Ignis Fire - Institute of Fire Element,
On the other hand, with their surroundings being the natural elements for the dark elves, in addition to the absence of their grand magus, the two institutes were swiftly massacred by the invading elves.
#####
All ten institutes of the Magus Academy were attacked simultaneously, and at the same time, in a corner of the galaxy, a fleet of more than 30 Elf warships had entered this sector.
