Opening Ceremony

Cheers of joy from the sound of the audience enlivened the arena of the match. Various kinds of groups gathered together to celebrate the annual event. Wizards tournament festival.

Jim, Aya and Cia, gathered at the northern stands. The stand is used specifically for tournament participants.

They also sat in the stands. Of course around them, many participants from various circles gathered.

The three of them ended up participating in the tournament even though they only intended to watch it. Because Jim has a reason. And Cia also has reasons to help Jim's selfishness. Ayabelle too. Everyone has their reasons.

The time is 9:00. Where that day the weather is very bright and supports the event.

Suddenly there was a very loud siren. Siren indicates that the Great festival will begin soon.

Suddenly a lump of earth was slightly wide, the ground rose from the middle of the arena. And there was a bald head, wearing dark glasses, and a muscular body.

A person in the middle of the field is the presenter of this performance. In a white shirt and black pants, he climbed on a lump of dirt that had previously been protruding.

Then suddenly the lump of earth that was protruding upwards fell off the ground and flew upwards carrying the emcee.

Then the audience cheered to see the emcee fly up using the base made of the lump of earth.

"Are you ready?" The emcee shouted out loud. For some reason, even though he did not use loudspeakers, his voice could be heard by all the audience, even outside the audience could hear the voice of the presenter. Maybe because she used Voice magic, her voice could be heard from a distance.

After hearing that voice, the audience got excited. "Yes…!!!"

"Ok ...!!!"

"Ready ...!!!"

That was the answer from the audience who were very enthusiastic, excited and excited. They couldn't wait to watch a magic match.

After greeting the audience, the host explained some of the rules for this match. Neither the rules for the participants nor the rules for the audience.

The rules for the student magic tournament are those who continue to be winners will continue to be pitted until they reach the final and reach the top.

The rules for general level magic tournaments were a little different. Which, there are two groups, namely the East Meridion and West Meridion groups. Where each party from the group will be pitted, after that the party from each group that has lost twice, then that party will be declared defeated and disqualified. It's the same with other groups.

You could say this rule uses a double-eliminated system. Because each group was taken by two parties. So, the party that occupies the first place in the group must be the invincible party. As for the party that took second place, they would have suffered at least one defeat.

After that, the two parties with the record of losing at least would become the party that represented the group. Which later, the party who won the two groups will be matched with the first winner from another group. Vice versa. The first winner of the group will be met with the party that is the first winner from another group.

"O… so that's the rule, I understand now," said Jim in a low voice, he seems now to understand the rules, as well as Aya.

"Hehe… interesting isn't it?" Said Cia who was very enthusiastic. Indeed, the Cia had always known this rule. All Meridion residents who have watched this tournament must have known this rule.

"All right all of you, come along for a bit." Suddenly Jim asked them both to go somewhere.

Aya and Cia complied. They both followed Jim. It turned out that Jim led them to the underground place. Because the place is very quiet and people rarely pass by unless there are participants who will compete towards the arena. Because it only goes through this route to get to the arena of the match.

The three of them went down the stairs to the basement floor.

When they're downstairs. They stopped somewhere near the floor stairs. It looked quite dark even though the light could still be seen infiltrating the gaps of the stairs and from the small holes. At least they could see clearly.

"Jim, what are you here for? Isn't it time for us to compete yet?" Jim

Jim also replied, "I'll give something to you". Then Jim looked at his system window. He looked at the shop

Jim intends to provide some items that are suitable for both of them.

Then Jim opened his system window. The night before today, Jim had seen a suitable item or weapon to be given to the two of them. Then this time Jim will give it to them.

Manel Vittorio is the first king of the Vitelyn kingdom. He wanted to make a royal heirloom. But he was confused between choosing a sword or magic staff. Finally, the second was chosen. By asking for help from a forge from Kalderan, he made a magic staff weapon which, at the base of the staff, was a foil-type sword.

----------------------------------------

Jim also said, "accept this, Cia". Jim also gave the weapon to Cia. At first, Cia was dumbfounded, surprised by Jim's magic that could reveal a weapon in his hand.

Then a few seconds after that, Cia accepted it.

"This Violet Vitorrio is perfect for you". Said Jim casually.

"Wait, Violet Vittorio?" Cia was shocked because the name seemed familiar to him.

"What's the matter? Don't want to take it?" Said, Jim

"No ... no ... no ... That's not what I mean, but when I was a kid I had heard of this weapon from my father, but I forgot where this weapon came from". Cia replied who was so nervous.

"No, I just heard its name". Agacia replied with a little nervous

"Look at that staff, the tip is made of purple magic gemstone, all green in colour. But do you know why the tip of the staff is like a sword hilt?". Said Jim while explaining about Violet Vittorio's weapon.

"I don't know ..." Cia replied, confused.

"Try to turn the green stick to the left, then you pull the stick from the end which is shaped like a handle" Jim ordered Cia.

Cia also did according to Jim's direction.

"click". There was a sound when Cia turned the stick to the left. Then Cia pulled it, and what was hidden from this weapon was finally revealed.

"Wow ... amazing ... this is a foil sword," said Cia who was so surprised and surprised to see this unique weapon.

"Doesn't that suit you? Just use that sword when you are pressed, you have a reason not to use a sword right?" Said the smiling Jim.

Suddenly Cia's face turned happy. Even she couldn't help feeling happy. She kept staring at the sword. Then she "Is not this too much?". Cia feels bad for Jim because he was given such a cool weapon for free

"Take it easy, this is for our party. For the sake of a victory". Jim replied excitedly.

"Fine ... I will use this weapon with all my might" replied Cia who was very happy and touched, even she shed tears of joy.

"If you use that staff, you won't run out of mana, so you can use your healing skills on us any time," said Jim

"Fine" replied Cia, she was so happy.

"Em ... and for you Aya ..." said Jim while looking at the shop in his system window.

Because at that time she was living in a kingdom where the king was very evil. Because he has a policy of every baby girl who is born without a clear father, when she is 10 years old, she must be handed over to the kingdom to become a slave.

----------------------------------------

"Accept this, Aya" Jim also gave the shiny whitish-yellow ring to Aya.

But suddenly Aya covered her face with both hands as she said

"No ... I'm still not ready to be proposed" replied Aya innocently. Because she has heard from her father. When a man gives you a ring, the man proposes to you.

"Huahahaha…" Cia burst into laughter seeing Aya's innocence.

Then suddenly Cia grabbed Aya's hand, they moved away from Jim a little and then they whispered to each other.

"You're stupid," said Cia while laughing and mocking Aya who was so innocent.

"How come? My father said if a man gave you a ring, it means he will propose to you". Answer Aya who is very innocent and innocent

Cia couldn't stop laughing. Then she whispered again "just accept it, it's not a ring after all, but a magic item" Cia tried to persuade Aya.

"Is that true?" Said Aya who confirmed the truth of what Cia whispered.

"Right, quickly accept it, don't think too far," said Cia with a face full of confidence.

Finally, slowly Aya approached Jim. With a face full of shame. Aya stammered "Are you sure you will give me that?"

Jim smiled at Aya's shy behaviour. Jim said, "yes, take this, it will protect you". Jim answered

Aya also received the ring shyly, on the other hand, Cia never stopped laughing even though she covered her mouth with her hand. But Cia couldn't hide it.

With a soft and embarrassed tone, Aya said "thank you, Jim" she just looked down, she was embarrassed, she didn't even dare to look at Jim's face.

Finally, Aya wore the ring on the ring finger of her right hand.

"Alright, let's go back to the stands now." Jim invited Aya and Cia to sit back in the stands because he had finished giving items and weapons that were suitable for them.

When they were in the stands. The voice of the emcee shouted. "Please, the head of the organizer will come upon the stage ...".

Suddenly someone appeared and stood right beside the host. He also flew along with the floating earth. I don't know where that person came from. No one knows when that person will come.

It made the viewers surprised. The atmosphere in the arena was suddenly quiet due to the presence of that person. All the spectators were speechless and dumbfounded.

Jim whispered to Cia. He asked Cia "who is that person?"

But Cia just smiled and answered, "later you will find out".

Suddenly the emcee used his magic on a middle-aged man with long white hair in an all-white wizard suit, even the colour of his conical hat was white.

After the emcee activated voice magic on the all-white man, now the all-white man's voice could be heard throughout the arena.

"Ekh… okay without further ado, I, the head of the magic academy, will open this festival" the principal chanted a sentence to perform magic. Then he took his left hand. Suddenly the sunlight that was originally bright became a little dim. Even the atmosphere around the arena darkened as if the day had turned into night.

Then the principal raised his hand. It was as if he was going to shoot something, and sure enough, after a few seconds, a lightning flash of lightning flashed out of his forefinger, his magic aiming so fast upwards.

After a few minutes.

"Boom ..."

There was a loud explosion. The sky above the arena exploded. It turned out to be a fireworks display.

Seeing the beautiful fireworks, the audience cheered. They were very happy because besides seeing a beautiful fireworks display, it was a sign that the wizards' tournament festival had opened.

"Great…" muttered Jim. He could only be silent and amazed, he could not believe that the headmaster had such powerful magic, it could even dim the sun. Besides, the fireworks that the principal made were so pretty and beautiful.

It was not enough, then the principal made a strong barrier wall in the shape of a cube and towering. Magic is made of elements of light.

The wall fortified the entire central area of ​​the arena. So that the participant's magic attack does not affect the audience. Now the audience can watch the match safely and comfortably but must be afraid and anxious.

After casting barrier wall magic. Suddenly the principal disappeared from the arena somewhere. The movement is very fast. Even everyone did not have time to see when he left.

"I told you, you will be amazed at the magic of the headmaster," said Cia happily.

"You're right, a great person, his magic is very unbelievable" replied Jim who acknowledged the greatness of the headmaster of the magic academy.

The crowd cheered even more and more enthusiastically. Because the witch tournament festival has officially opened.
