The end of the training camp for almost a month was in sight, a passageway was the link. As if the five of us were a package to the owner, there was of course someone sorting us out.
A black-robed figure with a hood covering part of his head was in front of us, then said. “Party from west corner yes, Aoi, Taka, Yogairu, Asteria, and Azzi.”
“True.” Answer Taka.
“Then, please go to the right room as a waiting room.” While showing direction using the right arm that is spread out along the black robe, as if a bat matures at night.
“Wait, instead of the first match at the opening event?” Yogairu denied a organizer of the event.
I also looked at the room, it was true. That dark shabby place might be a waiting room in such a festive event. And a little suspicious of him, is there an assistant organizer who looks all black?
‘This, like there's a strange thing.’
“No, this is what was planned. No party follows the opening, except Party Justice.”
‘Party Justice? Of justice? What is it, how strange.’ Batinku.
“Ayolah Yogairu, just a few minutes.” Taka chose to accept the explanation from her, then invited us to follow her directions.
“That's right, Yogairu – niisan.” Azzizi
“Tch, the place is very dirty. You guys have no intention of cleaning up what?” Cibir Yogairu accepted it.
“Awhile, I'm going to the toilet.” I hesitated a bit to agree to his instructions. “Empact organizer, where's the nearest toliet from here?” My father asked him.
“Your name is Aoi yes, right before entering this hallway, being on the left side. You have 3 minutes from now.” While taking out a small magic stone in his pocket.
I went to ignore his words without a word.
‘Who cares about his talk? Just go to the toilet on time, right? I'm not a kid know.’
It's been over 3 minutes since I left the party - I, of course, am now in this narrow bathroom. Like a cliche in manga and anime, a big game but filled with something stuck up throughout the show.
“Party Justice what's wrong? Only he's allowed to open, they bribe what?” I muttered squatting wc squatting.
“Justice in English means justice, but indeed in this world there is a language?”
“Don't tell me if it has something to do with the Justice Sect, ah it also makes sense.”
“But what is their purpose here? Taking all the strength of the audience as well as the participants of the match?”
“Taking careless actions, isn't that too risky? There's an entire army of heavily armed kingdoms here, along with the king.”
In between I wrestled against my bad thoughts, there was the sound of soft footsteps. This is probably one of my hard workouts, a slight improvement in the motor sensitivity of the body.
The shadowy figure seen from the crack of the door walked slowly, I could see the cloth of his black robe. Then call me with a soft tone mixed intonation gripping. “Aoi, Skill Escalation and Magnify users. Went to the bathroom a few minutes ago, and already exceeded the limit I gave.”
‘What is this? her again? True promise his words.’ My mind hides my entire body, even holding my breath.
“Come, out. Your friend is waiting for you.”
‘Of course, what kind of event organizer is this? It's awful.’
Not long gone, there came a sound of bells. When the object is sounded from inside the cave, the sound waves are felt echoing in every corner of the room. Similarly to him, for some reason he left quickly disregarding his first goal of looking for me.
‘Have you finished?’
I slowly opened the door that became one of the layers as a cover of myself, trying to peer around making use of the slight opening.
“She's gone.” Open the door and get out.
Followed by the lively sound from behind the hallway, I assumed it was the opening ceremony. But my main goal is to meet the four of them, at least we should get together first.
As I went to the place where we had previously separated, a shining dividing cell seemed to be restricting the room shown by him. It is like an instant prison and a nightmare for people if they hold the dividing cell because of the bright sparkle of electricity covering it.
The initial atmosphere was very quiet, only visible Taka including the Mafal Party next to him sat down to surrender. However, when Azuzi became aware of my arrival. He was surprised and shouted.
“Aoi – niisan, behind you!”
Knowing the danger warning behind the body pedestal, I immediately gave a mid-stroke nudge attack without seeing first who the culprit was.
Sure enough, I felt a limb hitting my attack, then turned around and saw a black hooded figure was none other than the organizer earlier.
He groaned in pain holding his stomach and said. “I guess you are a magic user because Ergon's supply is more than flat. Proving that segesit body reflex, it turns out I was wrong ya.”
“Aoi! Just kill him and let us go! This is a trap!” Taka yelled at me as if he knew what the exact incident was.
“He's Zylx's men, sect leader of justice!” Followed by Mafal reinforces Taka facts.
‘Sial, is this heating?’ My mind while taking out the sword from the black storage.
“Wait a minute, fight one on one huh? Well, I'm paying attention to your heroic nature.” He said he also prepared something under his cloak.
‘Then as a warm-up maybe this is enough!’
Without further ado, I took out a sword slash at a considerable distance. Not forgetting the upgrade skill connected to him.
*wush!
But the attack was absorbed easily as it approached her, as if my wave of slashes was devoured by her.
“Haha, what a great attack. Not using this maybe I've split into two.” The organizer of the event chuckled, accompanied by his hands coming out of the robe clutching a gleaming stone.
‘What is it? Talisman?’
“Aoi! The one he held was a barrier stone, all magic would easily disappear if it hit him!” Yogairu.
“Indeed we may both be fellow magic users, but can you be like this?” Storing my sword back in black storage, then simultaneously ran over to him.
“Aoi?!” Sahut Taka and Yogairu simultaneously saw me.
“Blank hands? The boy started learning new things huh?” Mafal is also involved
Likewise with the enemy before me, he seemed hesitant to do something.
“What will you do novice magician!” Beware of getting ready on the handle of the magic wand.
“This!”
For a moment I was within striking distance of a slash of a sword, I used one last step to pull out the sword from the black storage right above me and used the gravitational force of the sharp object's fall to add more weight to my swing.
The attack was forced to cut the connecting parts between the head and body, because the bottom groove up without the slightest protection.
“Aoi – niisan..” Azuzi looks dazed watching the fight as well as the enemy I killed for the first time.
“All of you, this is a trap.!” I screamed and approached him.
“We all know, it must be the Justice Sect, they plan to mess up the match.” Taka.
“Then, pull over. I'll smash this iron.” I prepared to take a distance far enough as my attack path.
*wush!
But my attack this time also made no difference when fighting Zylx's men, absorbed and lost somewhere like firing a nuclear bomb into a black hole.
“Did you not learn from experience, stupid!” Yogairu.
“Basic, strong attack but not with his brain.”
One in Party Mafal quipped me, the ideal body does not forget the earlobes and dense hair like feathers on his head, a figure called Demi – human.
‘Betul also, these bars are shiny like rocks that Zylx's men grasped before.’ My mind saw each side of the metal shimmering to form those bars.
“This is a magic barrier cage, we inside cannot use magic. Even ergon on the body disappeared.” Taka was brief.
“Then how to?”
Mafal as Taka's rival accompanied his explanation by answering, “There are two ways, opened by the owner of the cage or kill the owner.”
“But, wasn't that guy?” I denied the explanation while pointing towards the corpse of the organizer lying down.
“Not everyone can use this power, only one answer, Zylx sect leader justice.” Taka Pungkas.
Hearing Taka's words, I then ran towards the end of the hall. Without knowing and thinking about the risk in the future. Not with any mascots, but from meeting with Zylx's subordinates as the organizers of the event, everything felt awkward.
At the end of the hall, a bright beam of light was seen along with the sound of the opening speech. Most likely it was a single sentence from the king for the holding of this event.
“As city leaders of all territories here, I will enjoy every second of this event...”.
After exiting the hallway, the glare of the sun struck me temporarily, but was defeated by the festive opening before me. True said Zylx's men before, there was only one party bowed respectfully in front of the old king who was reading a piece of paper in his right hand, as well as several royal guards.
“This year is quite a lot of Party Star participants, and maybe also a lot of festive matches that you will wait for.”
The atmosphere of cheer at each corner was invincible, but every part of the distance of the spectator squad was one black-robed guard, similar to Zylx's neatly arranged men circling the audience place on this colosseum
‘This is so strange, is it indeed in every event like this the show's organizing troops are dressed mysteriously like that?’
My own confusion ran back in my mind.
The authoritative king sighed then continued his speech, “Without a long time, I am Tsukasa Von wolford, inaugurating this event!”
*glash!
Not the sound of cheers for the opening of this event, but the blue blood of the king was splattered. The neck is the only support on the body, it is no longer connected. Makes an atmosphere of silence and shock instantly.
On this flat plain, I can see five people in – party, I can see, one of the leading – male men of normal stature and white hair covering the head moves his right hand slowly from top to bottom, while his body stands in the middle of gloom.
“Di – him, his killer offender.” I muttered in surprise and did not want to attract the attention of their party to my presence here
Then he began to walk slowly forward, approaching the lifeless body of the king. After the tip of his foot was aligned with his body, he slightly lowered his head and poked the former pool of blood then licked the blood-stained finger.
‘Any, why from as many guards there no one dared to attack him. Or at least stop it.’
“Blood of nobility, a ruler king.” Then stand up and face the whole audience. “But unfortunately, now only his position is yes. Can I take it?” He raised both hands wide.
Before long, a flash of light gathered around him, like solid electricity gathering on a body, and continued the speech of the king, “Ehm, as many creatures here as there could be no one who did not know about the Justice Sect. With your king killed, inevitably I will not be the king!?"
After giving an incitement in his speech, suddenly the royal guard behind him replaced by a hooded army with burnt clothes around him. Unsatisfied, his men who guarded every part of the spectator squad also raised his right hand.
“Yes, if I were king it would be quiet and easy. As long as the removal of skill users in this world.” He continued the speech.
The gloomy atmosphere was further aggravated by the purple light, as if limiting the incoming sunlight emitted by every Zylx subordinate in the audience. One by one and eventually form a beautiful and deadly union.
“This is worse than I thought, it turns out their preparation is more than just annoying.” My murmurs were hiding behind the passageway Pillar.
“Well! Choose all of you! Live peacefully without strength, or Die with strength?”
Seriate….
