No Sundays

Now it's time for Jim and his friends' match scheduled to begin.

As usual, that morning. Jim, Cia and Aya were already in the North stand. Because today they will compete.

The queen and her guards were also in the west stand. The queen's usual place to see the match.

That day, the atmosphere was the same as usual. Very crowded. The enthusiasm of the public to watch the tournament did not diminish.

In the meantime, The Hanging Party had never once tasted defeat. They managed to beat their opponents.

This is a good capital for The Hanging Party to be more confident.

However, with this winning record, Jim and his friends were a little excited.

They feel pleasure. How not, until now, they can conquer their enemies.

But the record is not only owned by the Hanging Party. But within their group, there was a party that was no less impressive than the Hanging Party.

Even this party has been known for a long time. They are known for their compactness. Even last year they were the defending champions of this tournament.

Jim and his friends paid no attention to their rival. However, they cannot be underestimated. Maybe Jim didn't realize it, but Cia knew very well about this rival party.

On the other hand. after Jim, Cia and Aya met Eliza. It turns out that they are interconnected and interrelated with each other.

Eliza is very happy because she can meet Jim again. But here, she is also concerned about Jim and Aya's condition. Because they were forced to flee to the island of Meridion from the pursuit of Schlanger. Even Eliza was furious with Schlanger.

However, what is very surprising is that Eliza is Cia's mortal enemy in the tournament. therefore, it was unexpected that Cia knew Eliza well, and vice versa.

And finally, the status of princess Ayabelle, which she had previously hidden, was now known to Eliza and Cia.

Even so, Aya asked Cia and Eliza to take it easy on her like friends.

Maybe for Eliza, it was a common thing to meet the royal family. However, for Cia very surprising. She was shocked to learn that Aya was the crown princess of the kingdom of Hesperia.

Return to the field of the tournament arena. That morning, before their names were called. They were waiting in the North stands.

Cia was sitting and drinking an orange juice beside Jim.

After Cia took one gulp. Then she said to Jim. "Jim, do you know our next opponent?"

"No," Jim answered casually.

"Our opponent today is very tough," said Cia.

"Is it true?" Jim asked Cia.

"They were the defending champions last year," said Cia so convincingly.

Aya overheard the conversation between Jim and Cia. Then Aya joined in on their conversation.

Aya said, "you said, Defending champion?" She was curious.

"That's right, with Eliza's disappearance in the West Meridion stronghold. Their strength is like no one can match, they don't have a commensurate opponent. You could say, they are the strongest party in the East Meridion stronghold" replied Cia.

The Hanging Party's opponent this time around was powerful. A very difficult opponent to beat.

Their party name was Silver Noble Party. The name was pinned to them not without reason. Because the three members of the Silver Noble Party were all descended from the nobles of East Meridion.

"They are the Silver Noble Party, you know that all noble descendants must be strong," said Cia.

Jim was now starting to watch them. Because indeed if from a noble family, they must have received excellent magic training so they are so strong.

"Look Aya, even though she looks weak, but she has strong magic, she must have received sufficient and good training. Since she is the princess of the kingdom. Is that right Aya?" Said Cia who compared them to Aya.

"Right," said Aya. Because since childhood Aya has received excellent magic training. Even her father became her mentor.

"Do you know what powers they have?" asked Jim who was trying to analyze the strength of the opponent he was about to face.

"I know very well, they were my seniors when I was at the academy, even last year they were the defending champions in this tournament, I must be very aware of their strength, no. Not only me, but surely everyone also knows how terrible their strength is" replied Cia.

Jim smiled after hearing the answer from Cia. This took Cia by surprise. Because suddenly Jim smiled. It's like they've prepared something.

"Why are you smiling?" Cia asked Jim.

"Haha, you know, wouldn't that be an advantage for us?" Jim asked Cia back.

"How come?" Cia asked curiously. Aya also watched Jim because she was also curious to see Jim smile.

Then Jim looked at the arena while explaining the reason why he was smiling. He said "isn't that their weakness? Because their strength is known to the opponent, while they still don't know our strength."

"Hmm… That's right," said Cia while holding her chin. She seemed to agree with Jim's opinion.

"That will be an advantage for us because our strength is still mysterious in their eyes," said Jim confidently.

Cia and Aya nodded their heads.

"We have to believe, we can find a way to beat them. We have to believe in our strength," said Jim who tried to motivate Cia and Aya so that their faith and confidence would not waver.

"Hahaha, you're right, that's what I like about you, you're very confident," said Cia who praised Jim with a smile.

"Okay, now try to explain to us what their abilities are," said Jim who wanted to know what abilities the Silver Noble Party had.

Finally, Cia explained to them all about the abilities and strengths of the Silver Noble Party.

Silver Noble Party is a party that is in the same group as The Hanging Party, namely from the East Meridion group.

The Silver Noble Party was powerful. They are consecutive champions in this tournament since two years ago. Their strength cannot be doubted, they are predicted to be champions this year.

Many people referred to the Silver Noble Party as 'No Sundays'. Because the whoever team was going to be against them would have been overwhelmed, and as if the team against the Silver Noble wouldn't have come across Sunday, they wouldn't be able to relax and be as calm as on Sunday. They will be pressured, intimidated and the Silver Noble will dominate whoever they are against.

Terrible nickname. Any team that heard the name of their Silver Noble would be nervous and depressed even before they were on the field.

However, thanks to Jim's motivation, now the Hanging Party was calmer and more confident to face the Silver Noble.

"Good morning everyone, are you guys looking forward to watching today's first match?" Suddenly all the audience heard the voice of the presenter who was so booming.

As usual, the emcee climbed onto a lump of earth and flew over the centre of the arena.

"Yeah..." The audience answered cheerfully. Because they are very enthusiastic to watch this match. The highly anticipated match took place in the first match of the day.

"Alright, right away, without waiting for a long time, let's call! The Hanging Party and the Silver Noble Party!"

The presenter shouted.

"Our names have been called," said Aya.

Then The Hanging Party stood up. They walked underground and entered the arena.

On the sidelines of the trip, Jim said. "Alright, you guys have to stay calm and confident"

"Okay," said Cia and Aya at the same time, although they are now calm. However, there was still a little nervousness and insecurity within them.

A few minutes later, all members of The Hanging Party, as well as members of the Silver Noble Party, had entered the arena.

One of the members of the Silver Noble Party walked over shyly and looked very confident. It was as if they underestimated The Hanging Party.

It was in the west stand, where the queen Lyana, Deryck and Eliza sat.

"Huh, if only we took part in this tournament, surely they wouldn't look arrogant like this," said Deryck who was very annoyed with the Silver Noble Party.

The queen Lyana just smiled in response to Deryck's annoyance.

"I'm sure, if you take part in the tournament, surely you can beat them," said Queen Lyana.

Because indeed, since Eliza's disappearance, Deryck no longer has the desire to join this tournament. Because he was busy looking for where Eliza was.

Deryck didn't want to join the tournament without Eliza.

"We just trust Jim and friends," said Eliza.

"Right, I believe Jim and the others can beat the Silver Noble Party". Said Queen Lyana who also believed in Jim and the others.

The atmosphere became tense in the arena when the match was about to start.

Not only queen Lyana but Deryck or Eliza are also curious about this match. All the spectators were also curious about what would happen, the epic match that was presented. They are very curious.

Because this match is still unpredictable, even though most of the audience slightly favour the Silver Noble Party.
