"Everyone, stay calm! There are 3,722 Academy wizards gathered here. The Source of Magic has ample magical support, and the wizard tower's defensive barrier will be our perfect bulwark!"
At the peak of the Forging Hammer Wizard Tower, the Academy Dean controlling the warhammer phantom of the Source of Magic roared.
The monstrous giant had been slowly approaching the wizard tower step by step. Each report about it over the past few days had stirred up a raging wave within the Academy.

As a wizard who had narrowly escaped death during the assault on the Superconductive Light Wizard Tower and personally witnessed the might of the final guardian of Superconductive Light Academy, Dean Jindes's voice was filled with bitterness.
Coordinating with Dean Jindes atop the tower, the female dean Winnie on the ground, holding the Eight-Flame Feather Fan, the inherited magic artifact of Forging Hammer Academy, also shouted in a low voice.
"The defensive barrier has sufficient support from the Source of Magic. With the Academy's extensive preparations over these past days, we have successively laid down an anti-guidance magnetic field domain, multiple restoration restrictions, rebound breakthrough restrictions..."
Crack, crack, crack...
More than a dozen commander-ant-class mechanical puppets flew out from the wizard tower.
The Holy Tower rules of the Wizard World stipulated that Stigmata Wizards could not provide wizard academies with direct assistance beyond Academy Guardians. Even Academy Guardians had to meet specific rules.
These dozen or so commander-ant-class mechanical puppets had all been independently developed by Forging Hammer Wizard Academy
