Magic Academy's
82. Fifth match

[Inter-academy tournament, day 3 begins!]

[The fifth match of the inter-collegiate tournament is.].

The host stopped his words, making the audience curious about the fifth match.

[Search match!]

The watching was confused to hear it, what was the meaning of the search match?

[Each academy will select 3 participants who will participate in this match. The task of these three people was to search for the missing jewel. And the first to get the jewel is the winner!]

[Now, please select 3 of your representatives!]

"I'm going to play this game" said Zen.

"Me too!" bereilla said excitedly, then she looked at Heria, "You too are coming, Heria" he said trying to persuade Heria.

Heria thought for a moment, then she said, "Alright, I'll take part in this match."

***

In the arena, there were already many representatives of each academy gathered.

Lisia noticed everyone there, then she stopped when she saw Sien who was also in this fifth match, 'It seems like it is her first time participating in a match in this inter academy tournament.'

"He was the one yesterday, wasn't he? You knew her?" tanta Xava, Lisia turned her head and looked at Xava, then looked back at the arena.

"No, we just accidentally met at the cafe yesterday" Lisia replied briefly.

Xava was silent for a while, then he again said, "Don't lie, Lisia."

Hearing her, Lisia turned her head towards Xava, "Don't interfere in my affairs, Xava." Lisia stared intently at Xava.

Hearing that made Xava upset. Though he was worried about Lisia, after Lais' death his attitude looked different.

As a child, he often saw Lisia and Lais in the palace. When beside Lais, Lisia will smile more often than usual and look very happy. And the smile that Lisia had shown back then, was different from the smile that she was currently showing.

That made her pay attention around Lisia, including the man she thought was dating Lisia yesterday.

In fact, the reason for noticing Lisia was her aunt, the empress who was the mother of Lisia.

"I'm worried about you, Lisia" said Xava.

"Then don't worry about me." replied Lisia.

The participants had now stood on top of the magic circle.

[Games begin!]

Right after the host said that, a light enveloped the bodies of the participants, it brought the participants into the magic room where the fifth match was held.

Heria, Bereilla and Zen looked around them. There are many trees and plants that thrive. A truly beautiful place.

From a distance, Bereilla saw something that caught his attention. He walked to that place.

Heria and Zen who realized Bereilla left then followed the girl.

They arrived in front of a lake. The lake was really beautiful, the water was very clean.

"Gee... It's an incredible sight." Bereilla said, "The magic of the SS level is indeed amazing." she continued.

"Yes, but this place won't last long. To make 1 place like this alone requires a lot of energy, let alone maintain it" said Heria.

"Yes, you're right... I should have brought a recorder magic stone to record the beauty of the scenery here..." Bereilla sighed.

Zen looked around him, 'In a place like this, how do I look for gems?' his inner.

Zen then looked towards Bereilla and Heria who were still amazed by the scenery in this place, "Don't forget the purpose we came here." he said.

"You're right, let's go find the jewels." Bereilla smiled, then she walked away from the lake.

Heria and Zen follow Bereilla. They walked around looking around, looking for the missing jewel.

***

Sien and the other two Trisian Academy representatives are still searching for the first one that went missing earlier.

They searched behind bushes, even climbing up trees to look for the gem.

Wain— one of the Trisian Academy representatives dropped his body on the floor, "I'm tired!" he said, "How can we find a gem in a place this big?" his weakness.

Mesya—another Trisian Academy representatives pelted Wine with a small stone he got, "Don't complain and quickly search!" his orders.

Meanwhile, Sien, she walks away from the two of them on the grounds of looking for a gem.

'Why am I in a match like this?' complains. Even so, he never complained about it in front of the other representatives. In front of them, Sien was seen as a quiet figure. They just don't know, what his true nature is.

Sien looked around, right now whatever he was doing would be aired all over the world. That made him unable to act.

In fact, he was eager to sleep on the tree that was in front of him at this moment.

Sien walked away from the tree, then continued to search for the gem. Actually, he was just looking, he was looking around as if looking for where the diamond was, but his mind was blank.

***

Elsewhere, there appeared a Dream Academy representative sitting under a tree. They were exhausted from searching for jewels.

"How can we look for a gem, which we don't even know how to get?" complained one of them—Freya.

"I don't know either!" redra said, she was upset that she kept hearing Freya's complaints.

Nidya sighed, she lowered her head then thought, 'How to look for that gem?' inner, "Eh?"

Nidya looked at her wrist, she stood up then looked around, looking for something.

"What's up, Nidya?" ask Freya.

"My opponent doesn't exist" replied Nidya without looking at Freya, she walked away from there to where she had passed before to look for the existence of her bracelet.

Freya stood up, she ran after Nidya, "Maybe you took it off at the guest dormitory" Freya said.

"I never took off that bracelet. Before the game started, the bracelet was still attached to my wrist" Nidya said.

"How's the bracelet?" ask Redra who just came.

"The bracelet is white, and it has a red gem" said Nidya, he kept walking to look for the bracelet.

While Redra who heard that, fell silent in place, 'Germata?' his inner.

***

Bereilla sat under a tree, then she sighed, "How do we look for gems in a place this wide? Moreover, we do not know the shape of the gem." he lamented.

Heria was speechless, to be honest she also felt somewhat tired of searching for the gem.

Zen was still searching for the jewel. He used light magic, in order for the gem to reflect light from his magic.

The wind blew, making Heria's hair fly. Being disturbed, Heria pushed her hair behind her ears.

But, he felt that something was strange. Heria held onto her ear, her inner 'No. Heria looked around, looking for something.

Bereilla who noticed Heria's strange demeanor, then asked, "What's wrong?"

Heria looked towards Bereilla, "Bereilla, my henchmen are gone."

Seriate...
