Chapter 33
Electra became the Tower Master, no, the Head of the Electric School.
This was before the Trinity was established.
“Electra. I’ve given you a heavy burden. I’m sorry.”
“Sorry? This is an honor for me.”
“…Is that so? Indeed, when you first set foot on the path of transcendence, you smiled so brightly.”
For a long time, the Electric School had not seen a mage with an S-grade Electric attribute.
Thus, the next Head of the School was inherited by Electra, who had an A-grade Electric attribute.
Fortunately, Electra had entered the path of transcendence, qualifying her for the position.
“Yes. It’s an honour to succeed you, Headmaster.”
The Head of the Electric School was a reserved person.
Outside of magical instruction, they never had personal conversations with the disciples.
It was only after Electra began the path of transcendence that she managed to speak with the Head.
“…Did you think I was cold-hearted?”
“Sorry?”
“From your perspective, I must have seemed heartless.”
The Head of the Electric School spoke while looking at some point in the air.
“That’s the nature of being a Head. Especially in a school like ours, where so few can walk the path of transcendence.”
The Electric School had very few mages with fundamental S-grade or A-grade talents.
Indeed, such top-tier talent is rare.
But even so, it was far fewer than other schools.
Among them, Electra was the only one who began walking the path of transcendence.
“I’ve said goodbye to many disciples. Since the foundation of the mage society and the establishment of schools. I’ve bid farewell to so many. At first, I even grew attached. I shed tears as I watched my younger disciples’ hair turn gray.”
Electra quietly listened to the Head’s words.
It was the first time she had heard the Head speak of themselves.
“It was painful. Losing someone precious. Being left behind alone in their place. So, at some point, I stopped forming attachments to my disciples.”
The Head of the Electric School was a deeply warm person.
That warmth was what eventually prevented them from forming bonds.
Because it returned as pain.
“Electra, you are warm and love people. That’s why I worry you might end up like me.”
Electra couldn’t find the words to respond.
At that time, she did not understand what those words meant.
“However, my care for you remains unchanged. Perhaps more than any other Headmaster’s. And you, too, might become the same.”
“Headmaster…”
Instead of responding, Electra held the Headmaster’s hand tightly.
The Headmaster closed their eyes with a serene smile that had never been seen before.
And Electra ascended to the position of Headmaster and led the Electric School.
In time, the Trinity was established.
The Electric Magic Tower continued to rise higher with each achievement.
And gradually, Electra began to understand.
The meaning behind the words of the former Head.
“Tower Master… I’m sorry…”
“There’s no need to apologize. Rest in peace.”
One by one, the disciples aged and passed away.
And new disciples arrived.
As this cycle repeated, Electra thought one day:
Ah, in the end, they will all leave too. I will be left alone.
Gradually, Electra stopped interacting with the disciples.
She was tired of giving and then suffering the pain of parting with those she had grown attached to.
It was the fate of those who had transcended.
But that fate came as suffering to someone as warm as Electra.
Thus, little by little, Electra faded into a shade of gray.
Without realizing she was feeling lonely.
Without knowing that her emotions were drying up.
What awakened her feelings was COL.
***
(Team) ElectricMagicElite (Malphite): I’ll focus on targeting the Tower Master just like last time.
The final set of the Arcane War Championship.
As soon as the game started, Rhea, who was in the mid lane, spoke.
Just like last time, Rhea planned to pick Malphite to block the growth of the Illusion Tower Master.
This time, the Illusion Tower Master picked Nocturne as their mid laner.
If things went well, they could counter Nocturne like they did with Zed.
(Team) ZzapZzap (Lee Sin): I’ll focus on freeing up the bot lane.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): Alright. Let’s make sure to win.
(Team) TowerMaster’sPawHug (Volibear): Yes!
(Team) TowerMaster’sFootrest (Sona): Yes!
With a vow to win, the game began.
Both sides started out safely, following the textbook strategy.
The early game flowed similarly to the previous one.
The main difference was that the enemy bot lane, wary of Electra’s threat as the ADC, played more cautiously.
Even when Lee Sin tried to gank, they managed to fend it off without giving a kill to Ashe.
Moreover, the enemy jungler continued to patrol the bottom lane, hindering Ashe’s growth.
‘This isn’t good. We need to start snowballing before level 6. The enemy mid is Nocturne.’
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): Let’s look for a dive opportunity at bot.
(Team) ZzapZzap (Lee Sin): Rotating down.
The frustrating situation prompted Electra and Ashe to plan a dive with the jungler.
Though they were impatient, they didn’t overcommit.
She calmly pushed the lane and looked for an opportunity to dive.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): Now!
And at the right moment when the enemy support’s health was low,
Lee Sin landed a Sonic Wave and dove in, securing a kill on the enemy support.
-First Blood!
(Team) ZzapZzap (Lee Sin): Pulling back!
Unfortunately, the enemy ADC’s movements were sharp, and the dive ended with just the support kill.
It wasn’t as advantageous as they had hoped.
But securing the first blood was still significant.
Electra pushed the wave in, recalled, and bought items.
Thanks to the kill, she had more gold than the enemy ADC.
Now, they could proceed with the laning phase with a small item advantage.
With a resolve to snowball with the long sword advantage, she returned to the lane.
-An ally has been slain.
In the top lane, Volibear had been solo killed.
(Team) TowerMaster’sPawHug (Volibear): Sorry, I made a mistake. I’ll play safe from now on and avoid giving any more kills.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): It’s fine. Take it slow.
It wasn’t ideal to have given up a solo kill in the top lane.
But in the previous game, they had also lost the top lane but still won the match.
With the Illusion Tower’s top player being a genuine ‘top lane fanatic,’ Electra wasn’t too worried for the time being.
She thought it could be resolved by dominating the bot lane.
With that, the laning phase resumed.
The enemy bot lane played even more cautiously, resulting in no kills.
‘The Illusion Tower Master is still not doing much in the mid lane either. There’s no need to rush. Once I hit level six, I can secure a kill.’
Electra remained patient, waiting for the right moment.
But just before she reached level six…
– Darkness…
Suddenly, the map went dark, and Nocturne’s voice echoed.
Nocturne had used his ultimate from the mid lane.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): Fall back!
(Team) TowerMaster’sFootrest (Sona): Yes!
Electra hurriedly began to retreat with her support.
She was certain that the Illusion Tower Master would target her, as she was the biggest threat.
But her prediction was completely off.
– An ally has been slain.
(Team) TowerMaster’sPawHug (Volibear): Aaargh! Seriously, why target me? Sorry, I didn’t expect Nocturne’s ultimate…
The kill sound came from the top lane again.
Nocturne had ulted to the top lane, taking down Volibear once more.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): It’s fine. Just think of Volibear as a tank for later, and hang in there for now.
(Team) TowerMaster’sPawHug (Volibear): Got it. I won’t die again, I promise!
The top lane was falling behind significantly, but Electra still thought they were okay.
Nocturne had likely used his ultimate on the top lane just to secure a definite kill.
Meanwhile, the carry, Ashe, continued to grow stronger.
And with Malphite pushing in the mid lane, the situation wasn’t dire yet.
– Enemy slain.
Once again, they secured a kill in the bot lane.
This time, they could only take down the support.
But it forced the enemy ADC to recall, widening the growth gap.
At that moment, however…
– Tower destroyed.
– An Ally has been slain.
A tower fell, and Volibear died once again.
It was the result of the constant pressure since the early game, leading to heavy damage to the turret.
This was one of the rare times they lost the first turret so quickly.
(Team) TowerMaster’sPawHug (Volibear): Aaargh!! Damn… Sorry, everyone.
Volibear was clearly frustrated.
It’s understandable; his lane phase had been a disaster, so he wouldn’t be feeling good.
But being in front of the Tower Master, he held back his emotions and focused on building tank items.
Understanding Volibear’s feelings, Electra said nothing.
She simply resolved to grow even more.
Instead of getting angry at a teammate, it was better to think of ways to win.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): Don’t worry. Jungle, keep an eye on the top and catch Jax if he overextends.
(Team) ZzapZzap (Lee Sin): Are you sure you don’t need help at bot?
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): We’ll try to handle it ourselves.
– Enemy slain.
– Double kill!
As Electra had said, she awakened and secured a double kill against the enemy bot lane.
They succeeded in diving without any help from the jungle.
With a significant lead now in the bot lane, Electra’s confidence returned.
With Malphite holding strong in mid, it felt like victory was within reach.
(Team) TowerMaster’sPawHug (Volibear): Jax is crossing the line this time…
(Team) ZzapZzap (Lee Sin): Heading top. Let’s catch him.
In the top lane, Jax continued to push aggressively even after taking down the first turret.
It was definitely an overextension.
At that depth, he was asking to be punished.
Lee Sin went straight for the top lane.
– Darkness…
But at that moment, the map darkened again, as if waiting for it.
Nocturne used his ultimate on the top lane, cutting off Lee Sin.
– An ally has been slain.
(Team) TowerMaster’sPawHug (Volibear): They just keep coming in!
(Team) ElectricMagicElite (Malphite): I’m on my way!
With Lee Sin down, Volibear barely managed to survive.
But the Illusion Tower’s Jax and Nocturne ignored Volibear and relentlessly attacked the turret.
Malphite rushed up from mid, but…
– Tower destroyed.
Jax and Nocturne had pushed all the way to the second turret with incredible speed.
– Enemy slain.
– Double kill!
However, the Illusion Tower’s overextension came at a price.
Malphite arrived and landed his ultimate.
He secured a double kill against Jax and Nocturne.
They traded the second turret for the kills.
(Team) ElectricMagicElite (Malphite): At least we got them.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): Let’s prepare for a team fight now.
Electra, after taking down the bot lane’s first turret, rotated to mid.
It was the first time they had lost a second turret so quickly in the top lane.
But with the significant lead in the bot lane and Malphite’s double kill, they had a temporary advantage.
They had to seize the moment for a decisive team fight.
And following Electra’s command, the Electric Tower began pushing mid.
The Illusion Tower had no choice but to defend the mid lane.
(Team) TowerMaster’sFootrest (Sona): Jax is missing.
(Team) ElectricMagicElite (Malphite): Should I use my ultimate now, Tower Master?
Jax’s whereabouts were unknown during the mid standoff.
With their advantage, there was no reason to hesitate.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): Let’s go in now!
At Electra’s call, Malphite immediately ulted towards the enemy.
But the enemy team flashed away, and only their support was caught by the ultimate.
– Enemy slain.
The Electric Tower team quickly took down the support and began pushing the mid tower.
The Illusion Tower team had no choice but to retreat and wait for their minions.
(Team) TowerMaster’sFootrest (Sona): Oh? In the top lane!
At that moment, Jax appeared on the map.
While the battle was happening, Jax had gone up and was hitting the inhibitor turret.
– Tower destroyed.
– You have destroyed a turret.
With incredible attack speed, Jax took down the inhibitor turret.
The Electric Tower team also pushed the first mid turret, but they couldn’t reach the second one yet.
(Team) ElectricMagicElite (Malphite): I’ll go back home!
Malphite recalled to stop Jax.
– Inhibitor destroyed.
In the meantime, Jax swiftly destroyed the inhibitor.
Now, super minions would spawn in the top lane.
– Darkness…
At that moment, the lights on the map went out.
Nocturne had used his ultimate and jumped onto Malphite, canceling his recall.
– Enemy slain.
– Tower destroyed.
Though they quickly took down Nocturne, Jax managed to take out one of the twin turrets in the meantime.
Now, there was no time to waste.
The Electric Tower team hurriedly recalled.
They managed to catch Jax just as over half the health of the last remaining twin turret was gone.
(Team) ZzapZzap (Lee Sin): What is this tower pushing speed… Someone needs to stay back and guard the base.
It was now a situation where someone had to defend the base.
But fortunately, Ashe’s carry potential was still strong.
It was clear that if they fought, the Electric Tower would win.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): Volibear stays behind while we pressure mid and aim for Baron. Join us with Teleport if needed.
(Team) TowerMaster’sPawHug (Volibear): Yes, understood.
The game entered a brief lull as both sides regrouped.
The Illusion Tower seemed to be growing by farming jungle camps and minions.
(Team) TowerMaster’sFootrest (Sona): I think if Volibear just defends the base, we could try for Baron.
(Team) ZzapZzap (Lee Sin): I think so too.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): Set up vision and go for it. Even if we fight at Baron, we should win.
Taking advantage of this window, the Electric Tower team started attacking Baron.
Realizing it too late, the entire Illusion Tower team rushed toward Baron.
– Darkness…
With Nocturne’s entry, the Illusion Tower team unleashed a barrage of damage.
With Baron’s damage adding up, the situation was tougher than expected.
(Team) TowerMaster’sPawHug (Volibear): I’m using Teleport!
Clearing the incoming super minions, Volibear teleported in.
It was a logical choice since all five members of the Illusion Tower were engaged in the fight.
– An ally has been slain.
– Enemy slain.
– Double kill!
In the chaotic fight, both sides were quickly killing and being killed.
In the end, the Electric Tower emerged as the victor.
– Quadra kill!
With a quadra kill and Baron secured, the Electric Tower team pushed forward.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): Rush mid!
With the Baron buff, they rushed down the mid lane.
Three members of the Electric Tower team remained.
On the other side, only Jax had survived and recalled to defend.
As the game reached the late stages, the respawn timers were long.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): Finish it now!
(Team) ZzapZzap (Lee Sin): Yes!
(Team) TowerMaster’sPawHug (Volibear): Understood!
The three champions quickly reached the inhibitor turret.
Illusion Tower’s minions were pushing down the top lane, but slowly.
Position-wise, they were only at the second turret area.
Moreover, they were meeting Electric Tower’s minions, so there was no concern of their base being overrun by minions.
And the only remaining Illusion Tower champion was Jax.
With Lee Sin, Volibear, and Ashe, they could handle Jax.
It was obviously the right call to finish the game.
As the Electric Tower team confidently pushed the inhibitor…
Swoosh—
Jax gave up defending and used Teleport onto the top lane minions.
Then, ignoring the minions, he charged straight at the twin turrets.
– You have destroyed the enemy inhibitor.
While destroying the Illusion Tower’s inhibitor, Jax began striking the last remaining twin turret of the Electric Tower, tanking the turret’s damage.
The Electric Tower team also began attacking the twin turret at an incredible pace.
(Team) ZzapZzap (Lee Sin): What do we do, Tower Master?!
Lee Sin shouted in a panic.
And Jax delivered the final blow, destroying the Electric Tower’s last twin turret.
In that moment, as if time slowed down, Electra’s mind raced.
‘With the Baron buff, recalling takes 4 seconds. It will take at least 5 seconds to stop Jax, and considering Jax’s attack speed…’
In less than a second, Electra finished her calculations.
Despairingly, she realized that at this rate, Jax would destroy the Electric Tower’s Nexus first.
And even if they recalled, they likely wouldn’t stop him in time.
(Team) ElectricMagicElite (Malphite): No, we can’t lose like this! We had it won…!
Realizing the same, Rhea shouted desperately from her death screen.
Electra made her decision.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): Don’t stop, keep pushing!
(Team) ZzapZzap (Lee Sin): Yes!!
(Team) TowerMaster’sPawHug (Volibear): Got it!
Without a trace of doubt, the Electric Magic Tower team continued hitting the turret.
It was a moment that showed just how much trust they had in Electra.
Of course, Electra knew.
No matter how fast they attacked, Jax would destroy the Nexus first.
But it didn’t mean she was choosing to lose.
(Team) COLFun (Ashe): Hyah—!
Electra immediately turned and launched her ultimate magic, the Enchanted Crystal Arrow, toward the Electric Tower base.
The arrow illuminated the map as it flew toward Jax.
‘Please, let it hit…!’
The fate of the long Arcane War rested on this one last arrow.
If this final shot hit, the Arcane War would end in victory for the Electric Tower.
Conversely, if it missed, the Illusion Tower would claim victory.
The last Enchanted Crystal Arrow flew rapidly across the map.
By then, Jax had only one more attack left to destroy the Nexus.
…And a moment later, the victor of the Arcane War was decided.
