The Slayers
Chapter 78 (Season 3)

"Tomorrow? I guess if I haven't been a Special yet, I'll be chosen, won't I?"

Right now, Alan the protagonist is contemplating. On this cold night, he ate ice cream. He bit the ice cream quickly to the end. With his mouth still having a cold sensation, he stuffed a mint-flavored mantis candy and drank some water. His mouth magically let out a cold steam. Not enough until then, he took out a vial filled with light blue liquid, as young as the blue sky.

He drained the mana on the bright blue vial and the liquid lit up brightly. In front of Alan, a light blue magic circle slowly formed. Unknown letters began to appear, spinning with an intricately patterned circle and a large star in the middle. He exhaled, making frost flow through the magic circle.

Instantly, the almost invisible frost instantly became a frost storm that froze roads, trees, lights, and plants.

"Good combo, unfortunately, too many things are needed and complicated. I can't eat my ice cream too fast either."

Although his face did not show any expression, within his mouth felt extremely cold. Its mouth feels like a refrigerator, coupled with a mint-flavored mantis combined with water.

Alan then disappears from his place, escaping to his beloved home before his actions are known by people. Maybe he will deal with the parents he met and asked unclear questions, but it should be the time when he will go home and enjoy his life again.

But in the end, he lived his life quietly, plus, due to being an Alchemist and cooperating with Ling Hua, he became extremely rich in an instant. Indeed it was all due to the effects of the Grimoire he got from the auction. Not only did he make a profit, the Chaos Guild was also able to.

Alan who was originally crouching, now stood up. His body immediately disappeared from that place. He appeared on the roof of a tall building and extended his hand and reached the wall of the building, then he grabbed the wall of the building until his fingers pierced through the wall. That's when he started hanging like one of people's favorite superheroes.

He kept hanging until he got to his house. He made a perfect and cool landing. Unfortunately, the ground he was treading on now cracked because of it.

Not wanting people to go out and scold him, he immediately pulled out the house keys and opened the fence.

But...

His body was suddenly goosebumps, his body was slowly shaking, but he soon calmed down. A feeling he has not felt for a long time. Ever since exiting the portal, Alan had rarely felt fear. But, the thing he felt was the oppressed feeling he had always felt. He immediately sought the source of the feeling.

And finally he found the source.

"Holy ****!"

In the night, there were black clouds that swirled like a storm. And in the middle was a black giant that looked like a malnourished thin human; only the bones were visible and very prominent. The giant has many teeth and sharp, not only one eye, Alan's estimate of his eyes is about 70s. The giant hung in the sky and only half of his body came out.

He wanted to go there, but he felt he could not escape if he had stepped into the area. Alan is the desperate type. He has 3 categories for opponents. The first is the person he believes can win or kill. He would directly challenge him and attack him blindly, of course he could without a doubt kill.

Second, was the type of person he could defeat by dirty means. People like this are usually strong people, but easily fooled, or who lose smart from him. He might be able to pretend to cooperate with his opponent and then betray his opponent, poison that person, or with a trap. Anyway cunning ways he'll use, anything to win. And last but not least, the third is the one he cannot defeat, usually a very genius or indeed he is very, very strong so there is nothing he can do to win even in a sneaky way.

For the giant, he felt he would not be able to win for now. So he thought about increasing his strength and mastering the Alchemist-style battle first, only then would he try to deal with the giant.

He immediately opened the fence, opened the door, and tightly locked the doors and windows. He also blocked the moonlight from the outside with curtains.

Alan quickly took a towel and took a bath. After Alan took a bath, he immediately took the plate and ate.

He ate with a relaxed feeling, although his feelings were still somewhat disturbed by the oppressive and frightening nature of the giant.

After he ate, he immediately washed the dishes and drank water. Then he took the Grimoire:tale of Alchemist, opened and read through the various pages until he found the page where he found images and information about the giant that appeared in the sky.

His name was Colossus. A very tall, skinny, creepy black giant creature. Colossus likes to prey on humans, its tongue is very long and able to grab humans very quickly so that the human does not know that one of its limbs has been lost or its life is no longer there.

Alan who was reading the information suddenly realized something. Cindy Miria, the son of Mr. Budi who usually delivers dishes in the stall has an extraordinary secret, in her there is a creature that has the Job 'Witch of Colossus.'

"Does that have anything to do with Cindy? He's very suspicious."

Later, the book says that the Colossus could not be made by the Alchemist.

It can only be summoned with the right magic circle and spell. Another, the Colossus were subject to their ruler.who was none other than the Witch of Colossus.

"Oh, it's Cindy."

Alan was confused. Why is there a creature with extraordinary strength inhabiting the body of a girl who looks innocent and beautiful. What's more, why did the Colossus appear.

"It looks like I should investigate Cindy even further. Plus it seems. ah no, I don't want to bother with it."

Alan closed the Grimoire and kept it in secret. He then goes to his room filled with posters of his favorite games or waifu, action figures, cabinets filled with novels and comics. Not only that, on his desk there are computers, laptops and some action figures.

There is also a tv and a pillow to sit on. Tv in his room is usually to play games pli station, ex blox, nitendu, and others.

He is just a nolep who likes to play games. Now it was the same, it was just that his game playing time was becoming less and he spent time making potions and experimenting.

Even so, he still has his amazing gaming skills.

Alan felt an urge to play the game. But he decided to sleep.

...no, the urge to play the game is greater than sleep. Finally he played his favorite mmorpg game and stayed up late.

****Replace to Alex's point of view.

The sound of an alarm goes off, trying to wake Alex up. But unlike usual, he immediately woke up with a bright face.

Get down to the first floor and pick up the towel, then take a shower.

Her father, mother, and sister were shocked by her behavior today. The scenery they saw was very rare because Alex was a slacker who always had to be awakened by force to get up from his bed, even though he still felt sleepy.

But today he was so excited. How not? Today is the most awaited day. Not just Alex, but everyone in the world.

Alex quickly got out of the bathroom, dried his wet towel and joined the dining table.

"You were so happy this morning" said the father.

"of course. Today there will be that" Anna replied.

"What's wrong?" Ask Mom and Dad.

"Special Selection!"

"Sure, I was so excited that I barely slept yesterday."

"Huh!? You're not sleeping anymore?" Ask the mother in anger.

"I'm finally asleep, Mom. Just relax."

The mother's anger is gone and Alex finishes her breakfast. He snatched his school bag and walked out of the house, towards his beloved bicycle.

Like yesterday, Alex stopped at Norga's house, and they left together.

On the way, Norga asked Alex.

"Sister Alex."

"Yes?"

"Are... big brother sure that brother will become Special?"

"Of course, Norga! You should be sure too!"

"Of course I'm sure, brother. But my heart is not calm."

"Confident! The two of us will become Special together and become the Slayers duo that the world will know!"

"All right! That would be the most anticipated thing!"

They go to school feeling excited. Even they were racing their bikes quickly without them noticing.

****a few minutes before selection.

In a few minutes, people will become violent. Feelings will explode simultaneously all over the earth.

Five percent of the earth's population will be selected to be special. There may be riots everywhere.

There are some strange things that people do. Like gathering in a house of worship and praying, gathering in the square whether what they do, at work, on the mountain, in the forest, in the park, and wherever it is as long as it is not at home. I don't know what they're thinking, but people believe that if you're at home, your chances of being special are low.

It's ridiculous, but people just believe it.

Because of this, the road became jammed. Many people walk or run to places they believe will increase their chances of becoming a Specialist.

"Look at that person, they ran to another place for some ridiculous reason."

"You know how else, that's how they are, believe in the absurd."

Alan was currently in Ling Hua's private office. Together with Ling Hua, he looked out the window, looking at the people running around indistinctly.

"There are places that can increase the chance of becoming a Special, if there is such a place anyway, it is like a holy place" Ling Hua said.

"Where is it like that, you don't have to wait for the election, you just have to go to that place and get through a little trouble and boom, you become a Special!"

"Huh? Really can? Which place is that?"

"You're already Slayers, so there's no point in telling you."

"Come on, I'm curious!"

"Not going to."

Ling Hua continued to urge Alan to tell about a place that could make people instantly become Special, but in the end, Ling Hua gave up.

"Hmmm, long bored also when staring at them constantly."

"You want to play a game."

"Come on!"

Alan ended up playing a game with Ling Hua. But of course Ling Hua lost constantly.

****

Norga and Alex ran towards the square, believing that the level of selection would be high.

There were many people there, everyone pushing and praying. The countdown is almost over, their hearts are beating.

Blasts of happiness and sadness instantly filled the square. For the chosen ones, a holographic screen will appear in front of them. While the unelected, nothing happens.

All those who were not selected immediately shouted hysterically. While Alex and Norga, the status screen does not appear in front of them. They waited a few seconds, a few minutes, and not for a few hours, the status screen never appeared.

They were not selected as special.
