Inlander

Annual Event

After teaching Jim some basic techniques of using magic, Uncle Merton was about to leave Jim.

Uncle Merton previously panicked seeing Jim was not in his house, now he feels calm because Jim has practised magic in the south not far from his house.

"All right, train yourself. I will sell my fishing rod to the market". Finally, uncle Merton said goodbye to Jim. He intends to sell the fish he catches to a market near the port.

"Thank you, uncle." Jim was also respectful of uncle Merton. Because the knowledge that has been given to Jim is very valuable.

Uncle Merton slowly stepped off his feet and walked away from Jim.

"Okay, I will continue my training". Jim muttered while clenching his fists.

He returned to spit out the fireball magic that he had just learned. He does that continuously.

With Jim's very fast learning ability. He is now slowly mastering the magic. More precisely, he already mastered how to control magic. Or balance magic.

He is now gradually becoming proficient at using fireball magic.

When in between training. Something crossed his mind. As if he found an idea.

"Wait a minute, if the magic here is what we imagined, then will it work?" Jim spoke to himself. As if he had just thought of something brilliant

Then Jim intended to try what he had just thought. He started to take Ghizzel's bow from his back.

Jim's left hand began to hold the bow. Then, his right hand pulled on the spring. This time he didn't use a single arrow.

Indeed, the ability of Ghizzel's bow was that it could fire three invisible arrows without using ordinary arrows. But this time was different. Jim is not using the special abilities of his Ghizzel. He will try something different.

Withdraw the arc spring. Then he aimed at one of the trees, but he chose a tree some distance away from where he was standing.

He started to concentrate. It streams

some mana towards his right hand.

Jim began to imagine something. He made something that he imagined. Then he formed the magic.

And yes, an arrow made of fire magic shot out from Ghizzel's bow spring. He made magic like the fireball before. But now he imagined a magic arrow.

Of course, since Jim was so good at archery, the accuracy and precision of this fire arrow magic must have been more efficient than a fireball.

Then Jim took a deep breath and held it in. Then he released the arrow made of fire magic.

In an instant, the arrow magic pierced the tree he was aiming at. And after just a few seconds, the arrows made an explosion. So that it burns the tree.

"It worked". Jim smiled and was happy. Because of what he thinks he can realize. What he imagines will come true.

"I now understand the concept of magic in this world." Jim was now more enthusiastic about practising his magic. Because now he understood the concept of magic in this world.

He also continued to try the magic he had just done several times. Not even just one arrow, but he also tried several arrows in one hit.

It was late afternoon, it was outside Uncle Merton's house. Agacia and Ayabelle were planting and watering flowers around the yard.

It was fun for them to plant. They saw a man from the south with his tiredness and sweat soaking his shirt.

He slowly approached the two of them. One of the two noticed the man's arrival from the south. Ayabelle saw it.

"Jim ... where have you been". It turned out that the man was Jim. He had just finished what witchcraft training south of Uncle Merton's house.

Jim innocently scratched his head and replied "hehe, sorry I went not to tell you first".

"Huh…". By turning his face and body. She sulked at Jim.

"You were still sleeping this morning, I didn't want to disturb your sleep" Jim answered the reason for not saying goodbye first.

"I thought you were going to leave me". Ayabelle looked down and sad. She thought that Jim would leave her. Because she doesn't want that.

Jim also tried to persuade Aya not to sulk. He grabbed Aya's shoulder. And a little stroking it. Then say "I will not leave you".

Aya smiled a little at Jim's words. She is happy now. Because of this island, she does not have anyone.

All she could do was depend on Jim.

"Ehm ... ehm ..." suddenly Cia coughed, as if she felt ignored at all. She interrupted their conversation.

Then Jim and Aya simultaneously turned towards Cia's face. Cia casually raised her hand and held up her two fingers. Then he glanced back at them with a smile.

"Where have you been, Jim?" Agacia asked for Jim. Because he didn't see Jim's whereabouts from the morning.

"I just practised some magic" Jim answered honestly.

Then Ayabelle responded, "no wonder, your clothes are very messy".

Because after doing all-day training, Jim's body was messy and full of sweat.

"Okay, I'll change my clothes first," Jim said goodbye to go change clothes, he also stepped towards the house of Merton's uncle.

After Jim took a few steps, Cia stopped him.

"Wait Jim".

Jim also stopped his steps, then he turned towards Cia. While saying "what's wrong Cia?". Jim is a little curious.

Cia suddenly smiled. Then she said, "what a coincidence, this afternoon I want to buy some clothes, you better come with me to buy clothes".

"Hm…" Jim thought a little. Suddenly Cia interrupted. "Besides, you also need new clothes, Jim ... how come you keep borrowing dad's clothes".

Jim also looks embarrassed, but it looks like he doesn't want to come with Cia to buy clothes. He said, "but ... I have no money at all".

"Take it easy, I'm all that paid. You too Aya, you have to buy clothes too!" Cia answered lightly. She is willing to pay the cost of everything.

"Ha? Me too?" Ayabelle was surprised, because Cia also asked Aya to buy clothes too, and even Cia paid all the cost. She didn't know what to do either. She was confused.

"Don't think about it." Agacia forced them both. He even grabbed Ayabelle's hand.

Spontaneously Ayabelle also grabbed Jim's hand. Jim couldn't do anything either. He only obeyed Agacia's wishes. He can only comply. Likewise with Aya. She also could only follow Cia's wishes.

Aya could not refuse. Because she saw Cia's face so excited and happy.

Finally, the three of them went to a tailor located in the centre of the port city of Lavrin. Not so far from Uncle Merton's house. They only walk to get to the tailor.

In the middle of the trip, between buildings and densely populated. In between, Aya suddenly asked Cia. She said "Cia, why do you suddenly want to buy clothes? Even buy us too".

Ayabelle was very curious. She wanted to know why Cia was so desperate and wanted to buy new clothes.

Cia also gave the reason. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you right away, tomorrow we will go to the magic academy to see the magic tournament".

"What? Magic tournament?" Aya was a little surprised. She put on a confused face. Because suddenly Cia invited Aya and Jim to go to a magic tournament.

"Right… don't you know this festival?" Agacia asked the two of them.

"Hm ... I never heard from Lui some time ago, but I never saw the festival directly" replied Jim.

"I don't know either," said Aya. She also didn't know about this festival, because she never went out of her kingdom. Even now, Uncle Merton and Agacia didn't know who she was. Because Aya prefers to hide that.

Then Agacia burst out laughing. She said, "hahaha, you are indeed foreigners. Okay, you will find out later".

Jim also said "why did you suddenly invite us? Will Uncle Merton not stop you later?" He asked. He was a little worried.

Cia smiled. Then said, "take it easy, yesterday I got permission from father, but on condition that you have to be with me".

"Hm ... apparently this is the reason why you want to buy us clothes" replied Aya with a suspicious face.

"Hehe…" Agacia just smiled and she held up two middle and index fingers.

The Magic Tournament is an annual event that is always held at the Magic Academy. Because this event is so popular, an annual festival is held to celebrate this tournament.

The magic tournament is a tournament between wizard, where the winner will get an award and prize from the queen of the East Meridion and West Meridion. The prize is not that much, but some people are eager to join this festival for a title. Namely the strongest magician.

Even though some strong magicians don't want to take part in this tournament. They are don't want to be exposed. However, the title of winning the tournament was very prestigious. Whoever wins will be famous throughout this continent.

This tournament is very lively, there are several bazaars, and other interesting events are also held at this festival, with the top event being the final of the magic tournament.

This tournament is usually held for 10 days, depending on the number of participants who take part. The more participants the more interesting the show. Also the festival more longer.

Then suddenly Cia stopped her steps. Aya and Jim also stopped.

"We're here," said Cia. They stopped at a house that was not too small. The house is mostly made of glass. Several dolls and clothes of good quality were displayed, the clothes could be seen from the outside. Because the windows are made of glass and transparent. So that pedestrians can see from outside.

Jim also said in a low voice. "Wow ... like a boutique". He was amazed. Because the clothes on display are very nice and elegant.

"Boutique? ..." Cia responded to Jim's words. Because she just heard about the boutique. the word she was never heard.

"forget it, is this the place?" Replied Jim, who tried to change the topic of conversation.

"Yep ... let's go in" Cia replied with a smile.

Finally, the three of them entered the tailor's shop.

When they entered, many , clothes, pants, accessories, etc. were neatly displayed throughout the room.

The three of them were amazed by the clothes shop. Because the clothes that are sold are very beautiful. Especially the women's clothes.

An auntie arrived in a fashionable dark red dress with knick-knacks on her collar. He uses round glasses rather large. As well as shoulder-length black hair.

It turned out that he was the owner of this clothing shop. With a friendly and smiling smile, he greeted the three of them. "Welcome to our shop, how can I help you?".

With an excited face, Cia said "Madame, are there any clothes that are suitable for us?" She asked the shop owner to choose a suitable outfit.

Then the shop owner said, "do you want me to measure your body and then sew it?". She thought that the three of them wanted her to make and sew some clothes that would suit them.

However, they didn't mean to do that, but they wanted to buy ready-made clothes. Cia said, "not madam, just show us some clothes that are suitable for us".

"Fine…" replied the shop owner. Then she led the three of them to some clothes in a hanger.

There were lots of clothes hanging. Various models are available there.

"Please choose whatever you like, you can also try it," said the owner kindly.

Then the three of them started choosing clothes.

But suddenly Cia said to Jim, "okay because your clothes are now the most shabby, we will first choose your clothes first"

Jim could only keep quiet and follow her. Jim's silence indicated that he accepted it. Finally, Cia and Aya smiled. They started picking out clothes for Jim.

"How about this?" Cia handed Jim the clothes she had chosen. Finally, Jim brought the clothes and changed them in a special room to change clothes. He also entered the room and changed clothes.

After he left the changing room, they saw Jim wearing a purple cap, purple vest, and purple Harem pants. Like Aladdin's clothes.

So very unsuitable for Jim, then the two of them who judged it shook their heads at the same time.

Aya didn't want to lose either, she handed Jim the clothes she chose. "Try this".

Jim accepted it, he brought the clothes and returned to the changing room, he changed his previous clothes and tried to use the clothes chosen by Aya.

After he changed his clothes, he came out of the changing room. He was seen wearing a prince-like suit.

Ayabelle and Agacia were stunned to see Jim, they were amazed. "You are very handsome, like a prince," said Cia with a face full of charm.

Jim also felt embarrassed, then he moved to see the glass next to the dressing room. He was curious.

Jim saw himself in the mirror. Suddenly Jim was shocked. He said a little out loud "this is too flashy!". Then Jim asked Aya and Cia to choose another outfit.

"Sigh ...", replied Aya, even though she was happy to see Jim like a very handsome nobleman. But Jim even asked to find more clothes.

Finally, the final dress was chosen. With a plain black t-shirt wrapped in a plain white suit, all buttons are tightly tucked together. Then tied with a black belt wrapped around his stomach.

The lower part is seen with plain white pants and black shoes.

After that, he is equipped with a long black robe that is tied between Jim's neck.

After Jim put on the shirt, it made Aya and Cia amazed by Jim's good looks.

Finally, they agreed with this dress choice. Because this shirt fits Jim's body.

After that, it was time for Aya and Cia to choose clothes. After a few minutes. Finally, they both have chosen their clothes.

Ayabelle wore a sky blue dress suit with a short skirt and a black combination. The upper part of the chest is open, showing Ayabelle's curves are perfect.

The lower part uses black shorts with long black stockings to the thigh. Make Ayabelle so beautiful.

As for Agacia, she wore a Lime green short skirt. But he covers the top of the chest with a short white vest and a little green variation. Her arms were like white stockings and white gloves. He also didn't forget to tie his hair back in a tie.

At the bottom, he wore white shorts with long white stockings that covered his thighs. And also wearing a green variation of white shoes.

Cia looks so sweet and graceful. She is very beautiful, if Jim was asked to choose between Cia and Aya, he must be very confused. Because both of them are so charming and enchanting. Jim could only be silent to see the beauty of both of them.

They both were very happy after buying the clothes.

"Okay, because it's finished, we'll go home," said Cia. She immediately paid all the bills for the clothes.

After she paid, Aya suddenly thought of something. She said "wait a minute ..." She went over to the shop owner. Then she asked the shop owner for something. "Madame, can you make a rope necklace for this gem?". Aya also took out the blue jewel that she had previously received from her father.

"Hm ... wait a minute" replied the shop owner. the shop owner took the jewel and went back. Then he was looking for something behind.

A few minutes later the shop owner came with something. It turned out that the jewel that he had previously carried had now turned into a beautiful necklace with blue jewels.

"Here it is, I am very happy, this is the first time I have seen a gem of this super quality, for the cost of the necklace I will free it for you". The shop owner gave the jewel necklace to Aya.

"Really? Thank you, madam" Aya was very happy while receiving the necklace. The lady just smiled.

Then the three of them went home with a different look.
