Black Capsule

When Eliza and Deryck talk about Jim's shocking magic. Near them, the queen is thinking about something, the queen Lyana is holding her chin, she is trying to dig up her memory again

A few seconds later, the queen interrupted Deryck and Eliza's conversation. He said "wait a minute, I think I've seen that magic?"

Then Deryck and Eliza's attention was focused on Queen Lyana.

"What do you mean, queen?" Eliza asked. He was quite curious after the queen said she had seen the magic.

"I've seen black magic cast by Jim," said Queen Lyana.

"Ha? So have you ever seen Jim use that magic?" Deryck asked, because all he knew, Queen Lyana had only met Jim a few days ago, how could Queen Lyana have ever seen that magic.

"No, I mean, I've seen Schlanger use that magic, and Schlanger's magic is exactly the same as the magic that Jim used just now" replied Queen Lyana. He is very sure of his opinion. Because he saw for himself when Schlanger used the black capsule magic. And the magic was exactly the same as the magic that Jim had just shown.

"Are you sure queen?" Deryck asked the queen to be sure.

"I'm very sure," replied the queen confidently. Because what he saw right now was exactly the same as the magic he saw back then when Schlanger used the black capsule magic

"Nothing wrong" Eliza suddenly cut them off.

Then, Queen Lyana and Deryck were now paying attention to Eliza.

"The fire fist magic he showed in the previous match I've also seen. That magic is exactly the same as uncle D'Breick's magic" said Eliza.

"So you're saying Jim can imitate the magic of anyone else he's met? Because neither Schlanger nor your uncle met Jim," Deryck asked. He tried to conclude some opinions of Eliza and Queen Lyana.

"I don't know if Jim can imitate, steal or borrow someone's power. I still can't say for sure," said Eliza.

"Mysterious power," said the Queen Lyana.

"That's right queen, many things are hidden inside Jim," said Eliza.

Finally the three of them returned to focus on watching the match. Jim made the three of them even more curious.

Back to the match. After Zeva suffered several injuries from the Black Capsule attack. Now it looks very angry. Although Zeva was very angry, but he did not show anger. He still looks calm and cool head.

Zeva seems very angry with Jim. Seen now he kept glaring at Jim.

"This time, you take care of the ice woman, I will tear the man to pieces," Zeva said with a tone full of anger.

"I understand," said Kalisel. He also understood Zeva's words. Because he knows, when Zeva is angry, he is unstoppable.

A few seconds later, Kalisel removed the small silver needles. Because for now he can no longer use it due to being wrapped in Aya's ice magic.

Then, Kalisel again casts her silver magic. This time, the volume of silver magic he emitted was more than before.

"They are strong" Jim said to Aya. Because Zeva managed to survive the black capsule skill. Plus, Kalisel's magic capacity is endless.

Now Jim looks a little panicked, because his pastoralist skill has one more left, and his Yamaguchi skill only has four left. Now he was at a loss as to whom to use the rest of his pastoralist magic.

"Aya are you still able to survive?" Ask Jim to Aya

"I can still" replied Aya, even though Aya said she could survive, she seemed exhausted.

The conditions were not so good for Jim and Aya.

After the opening was over and the arena was secure. Next up is the long-awaited event, the magic tournament.

"All right, for all participants, please go underground to pick up items". The voice of the presenter was heard to all ears of the participants.

Some of the excited participants even competed and ran to reach the underground.

"What are we going underground for?" Said Aya who was curious.

"You just follow," said Cia. Cia told Aya not to ask many questions and follow all the instructions from the emcee.

Finally, the three of them went down the stairs. However, when they got to the stairs, they were pinched and pushed around by the crowd, because there were so many participants.

The atmosphere of the hallway was not so dark, because every five meters in the hallway wall, a fire torch was installed which served as a light source.

"Help, I'm having trouble breathing!". Said Aya, as if asking for help from whoever was there.

Cia didn't hear her, because she was in front of Aya, luckily Jim heard a voice asking Aya for help. Jim quickly grabbed Aya's hand. Jim grabbed Aya's body and pulled her until Aya's body was close to Jim's.

Finally, Aya was freed from the participants' pressure thanks to Jim.

"Are you okay ?" Asked Jim who confirmed Aya's condition.

"A little, Jim," replied Aya. Everything she was having difficulty breathing was now slowly her breathing began to smooth and calmed down a little. Otherwise, now instead Aya's heart was beating fast. Because she was so embarrassed and nervous. How could she not, she was now so close to Jim's body. Even Jim held Aya in her arms so that she was not far from his reach. In addition, Jim continued to hold Aya's hand so that he wouldn't let go.

Aya didn't move. She was just silent and resigned, she only entrusted himself to Jim.

The participants who took part in the tournament were very many, especially from the general level participants. Jim's party, who list D-1, get serial number 221.

The total number of parties participating in this tournament is 253 teams. If each team consists of three people. Then the total number of people who took part in this tournament was around 750 more people. Not to mention the student level participants. Then the arena became overcrowded and crowded.

"Stay close to me," said Jim, holding Aya's shoulder and holding Aya's hand

"O..o..ok" replied Aya who was getting nervous. But Aya still held it back.

When in the hallway, Cia realized that she was going too fast. Then she looked back. It was true, Jim and Aya were left behind. She didn't see them at all.

"Huh…" Cia was annoyed, even though she felt the rarity wasn't too fast.

Finally, Cia was forced to wait for Jim Aya at the corner of the alleyway while watching his Violet V weapon. Se leaned his shoulder against the hallway wall.

Up to a few seconds. A man with a distended stomach passed in front of Cia. The man realized Cia, he saw that there was a beautiful woman who was silently leaning her shoulders against the wall.

Then, the distended man with short hair with a moustache stopped his steps.

The man was not wearing any clothes, only wearing trousers. The man seemed to be a magician from the Wetania kingdom. Because it has become a characteristic when going to fight, the male witch Wetania does not wear any clothes, only wears pants.

Then the man tried to tease and greet Agacia. He said, "hi beautiful, why are you alone? Want me to accompany you?".

At first, Cia was just ignorant and didn't say anything. But over time, the man got closer to Cia. He was even more open to teasing Agacia.

Suddenly Cia responded with a loud voice "you pervert, go there". Cia feels uncomfortable when teased by the man from the Wetania kingdom.

Cia's loud voice was heard around.

Because heard a woman's voice who seemed to need help. There came a man with short black hair. He wears a red headband and a slightly loose tank top. He held the big man's hand as he said.

"You already know the rules of this city, right?".

The man with the headband was full of anger.

They both stare at each other, neither of them wants to budge.

Then suddenly the big man laughed and said "hahaha … there is a hero."

Then the man with the headband warned the big man again. He said, "leave this woman". The face of the man with the headband was very serious.

"Tch … I'm waiting for you in the arena" replied the fat man. Then the distended man left the two of them and entered the middle hall.

"Thank you". Finally, Cia thanked the man with the headband. Because it has solved this problem.

But suddenly the man with the headband looked nervous, and he quickly lowered his body and he saluted Cia while saying, "I'm sorry, I interfered in your business".

After apologizing, the man with the headband immediately ran away leaving Cia. Maybe because he was so nervous about talking to women. Moreover, a woman as beautiful as Cia.

"Wait …" said Cia who intended to stop the man. However, Cia was not responded to. The man immediately ran quickly until he was out of sight.

"Huh … a friendly guy, but why run away immediately? Am I scary? Even though I don't know his name yet" Cia muttered, she felt annoyed this time.

A few seconds later. Cia saw Jim and Aya from a distance. But instead of being happy, Cia was even more annoyed and annoyed. How could she not, she saw Jim and Aya embracing each other.

Cia said in an annoyed tone. "What? Even in public?"

Cia also ran towards the two of them. She pulled Aya forcefully from Jim's arms. Suddenly Jim and Aya were shocked. Because she's Cia, so Jim let her go and let go of her arms.

"Aya … you're always looking for opportunities in a tight spot" Cia scolded Aya because she was so annoyed, how could she not, just now she was bullied by a pervert, instead Aya and Jim were having fun making out. Even in public places. Cia is very annoyed more than anything.

Aya also gave the reason. "Sorry Cia, I almost fainted due to the pressure of the crowd. I already called you, but you did not hear me, luckily there is Jim who pulled me". Aya said with her innocent face

"Really?" After hearing Aya's reason, Cia is now not annoyed, instead, she now feels guilty.

"I'm sorry Aya, I didn't hear your voice earlier" now Cia hugged Aya while apologizing.

"All right, let's walk again," said Jim, who invited the two of them to walk again.

Finally, they moved back. They also entered the central passageway, which led directly to the underground.

Before entering the underground, there was a man dressed as a magic academy waiting at the entrance to the underground passage. He is the organizer of this tournament.

The three of them arrived near the male committee member. Then he gave some magic equipment in the form of a bracelet to the three of them.

"Use this," said the man of the committee. He instructed Jim and his friends to use this bracelet.

"What bracelet is this?" Asked Jim who was curious.

However, the committee did not explain it, because there were still many participants queuing behind them. He only replied, "use it, never take it off".

After giving each one bracelet. Then the man of the committee said "fine, please come in, next".

The man ignored Jim's question. Finally, Jim and his friends entered the hallway into the basement.

Finally, the three of them were in the middle of the dungeon. Right above them was the battle arena. In the centre of the dungeon were four staircases up from each side which was made of earth magic.

Then the three of them put on the bracelet and waited until all the participants entered the basement.

While they were waiting, Jim, who was still curious about the bracelet item, asked Cia. He said. "Cia, what's the point of this item?"

"Haha, I told you before, right? This item functions to monitor the mana and HP of each participant."

"Oh yeah, I just remembered" replied Jim. Finally, the three of them were already.

The bracelet magic item functions to measure and monitor each competitor. If the participant's mana and HP are at their lowest point and almost close to 0, or dying. So the committee must stop the match. Then the committee immediately helped and brought the participants.

Finally, all the participants gathered into one in the basement room.

"All right, all of you, now go up to the top of this arena," said the committee who instructed the participants to immediately go up to the arena stage.

Finally, the participants gradually rose to the surface. They went upstairs in the middle of the arena.

Jim's party was no exception.

But before they climbed the ladder. Cia warned Jim and Aya something. He said. "Beware starting now. Be prepared with your weapons, because after this there will be surprising and unexpected attacks.

Because of Cia's experienced background in this tournament, Jim and Aya immediately believed her.

Finally, Jim got ready, he held his Ghizzel bow. Meanwhile, I also prepared with magic.

Until a few minutes later, all the participants managed to set foot on the surface of the arena.

Then the committee closed the hole in the ladder using earth magic.

On the other hand. the emcee who was still treading on the lump of earth was above the arena. Then he said. "Alright, the match will start".

Some of the teams that had just entered this tournament must have felt confused about what the emcee had to say. The same is the case with Jim and Aya.

then Cia said. "Jim, Aya, don't move away. We have to stay close."

"Fine…" said Aya and Jim.

Then the emcee said again "after you hear the sirens, the battle has started"

Several teams protested. Because this situation is not described in the rules. Especially the team that just joined this competition.

Then again the host spoke words that were no longer understood. It says "don't touch the ground"

"What are you talking about?" several people who were in the arena said that.

Then Cia gave another warning to Jim and Aya. He said "all of you, that's the keyword"

"Keywords?" Jim muttered. He didn't understand what Cia was talking about.

Suddenly in a few seconds, there was a loud sound. The sound is the sound of a siren. The match was about to start.

Unexpectedly, in an instant, the surface of the arena they were currently walking on had plummeted downwards.

The land they were walking on collapsed down. The participants all fell like Jim and Aya who fell from a high cliff.

There were many screams everywhere, the participants were shocked by the sudden subsidence of the land.

Even the land that has collapsed is like an endless abyss.

Jim, Cia and Aya were in freefall. But they are still close together. So that they can still hear and see each other.

Suddenly Jim remembered what Cia had said. He muttered "keywords? Don't touch the ground?".

"I know". In an instant, Jim could think of a solution.

Then he shouted to Aya and Cia. "All of you, quickly grab my feet".

Cia and Aya heard Jim's scream. Without thinking, Aya hung and grabbed Jim's left leg. Meanwhile, Cia also hung on Jim's right leg. However, she only used one hand. Because of the other hand, she used to hold the Violet V staff weapon.

Jim quickly opened his system window,

"Shop"

"Item"

"Rope"

Jim tied one end of the rope to his arrow, and the other end of the rope he tied around his waist.

Because Jim already felt they got hold of his legs. Finally, Jim aimed the lump of earth hovering above them. a lump of magic that belonged to the emcee that he made as a foothold.

Luckily the distance between Jim and the clod of dirt was less than 300 meters. Jim was still able to hit the target with such a distance.

Finally, the arrow stuck right into the blob of flying earth.

Jim, Aya and Cia are now hanging from the rope. Finally, they succeeded. They did not touch the ground of this abyss. The same as the keywords provided by the host. Namely "don't touch the ground"

A few seconds later, the siren sounded a second time. This indicates that this unexpected attack has been completed.
