Amidst the spotlights shining brightly in the garden, Kiran looked awry.

He was hesitating whether to show his skills before the tournament event started tomorrow or have to keep a low profile.

But Zuma, the pyromancer from Golden Arrow Academy, has suddenly urged him to try out a battle magic move or two.

"Isn't it too early to start a confrontation?" said Kiran looking at Zuma, who had arrogantly broken through the crowd, now standing not far from where he stood.

Zuma's lips curled down. His tone turned unpleasant to hear.

He said, condescending to Kiran. "I'm not surprised if you're terrified of a pyromancer like me!" Zuma then walked around Kiran, talking proudly to attract the crowd's attention.

"The talent of an illusion weaver to participate in fighting in a magic tournament like this?"

Well, the Magentum Institute is too short of expert attacking talents, to the point that a student with supporting talents like you can become one of the representatives of their magic school!

    Everyone present at the banquet that evening was stunned.From their view of the horror of a child named Kiran who was torn apart by the magic fire poked with a spear, suddenly all of it broke. It's just an illusion!Everyone was stunned, mixed with amazement at the attraction of the illusion weaver child."How could this happen?" Gerania screamed in disbelief."He really made an illusion that seemed real! It's hard to distinguish from the real thing!" the voices of the teachers of the magic academy from other cities there were a noisier discussing this.Like one big painting – a mural, the image before everyone's eyes was the terrible event of the young witch Kiran being torn apart by the fire; suddenly, the scene turned unreal. It was the strangest thing ever.What's more, all gaped in astonishment.The arena and flower garden are now torn apart as if the incident was just a large mural torn apart by one hand being invisibly powered.And from the middle of the mural tear, a silhouet

    Zuma's voice rang weaker and weaker. The howl is tighter than at first. It sounded low, like the voice of a desperate person.Zuma, who was dashing and mighty, now ellipses like a fish thrown out of the pond. His figure seemed to droop limply. Zuma felt that all his spiritual energy had been completely absorbed. This high-level magic can rarely be chanted by wizards who belong outside the category of genius.Meanwhile, everyone present at the banquet showed horrified faces. They hope that Kiran will be merciful and end this duel of friendship. But Kiran thought differently. He needs validation from Zuma – an admission of his defeat against Kiran, an illusion weaver who was underestimated from the start."Tell me if you surrender, and I will withdraw this magic!" threatened Kiran with a straight face.It's a pity that Zuma is too stubborn. His arrogance as a genius student from the Golden Arrow Academy – the academy from the capital Qingchang made him feel a sense of prestige to admit

    The commotion and noise of the garden party finally capped off, and the battle was over.All the guests fell silent as the older man called Master Linnon the Great floated down from the balcony of the main building of the Magentum Institute. His robe and tunic seemed to flutter in the wind as Master Linnon floated through the air - he looked like an expert while flying."Impossible! Only Sages and Warlocks can perform flying techniques! I never heard that the Head of the Magentum Institute was a Sage!" hissed the guests; they were teachers of the magic school. They were vocal but quiet. Too quietly for fear of being heard by Master Linnon. The authority of a schoolmaster in the magic academy is a position equivalent to the lord governor of Shanggu.Everyone has been amazed by Master Linnon's flight actions. The man floated lower and lower, approaching the crowd of many people.There was no dust or sound when Master Linnon's two feet were set on the ground in the banquet garden."Look!

    That early in the morning, the Alphaworks Black Market was jam-packed.So many people are moving back and forth to places where it is illegal, but development is encouraged. Of course, compared to the actual price charged at the magic academy or the official outlet in Shanggu City's heart, Alphaworks offers many necessities for wizards at a reasonable price.In the center of the group, the guy moved slowly. He covers his dazzling appearance with a long, black robe that includes a hood. He didn't want anyone to recognize him. If he wore the Golden Arrow Magic Academy uniform, Zuma would undoubtedly be identified as a competitor in the well-publicized inter-academy magic competition.Zuma plans to shop at that Black Market today, the day before the magic competition amongst gifted children in the Qingchang Empire begins. Naturally, the goal is not to purchase any old object or artifact. Instead, it is a sinister artifact that, should the Magic Academy Inter-Academy Tournament take place

    Dawn breeze blew heavily in the early morning in Shanggu City.The Magentum Institute contains a synthetic forest where flying dried leaves carry the aroma of cedar trees. Still black is the sky. Many people still prefer to spend their mornings snuggled up in bed, warm from the blankets.However, things are already extremely vivacious at Shanggu City Magentum Institute.A lot of young people have woken up. They were stylish since they donned war armour, an official characteristic of their respective academies. At this moment, the corridor was busier than the Institute's main hall.The Magentum Institute students have been genuinely excited about learning ever since the previous few days; not only did the spectators at the tournament competition appear to be bouncing back and forth, but the competitors themselves appeared to be doing the same.What about war? Not. That is the solution.All the magic academy students in the Qingchang Empire are celebrating a special day today.The imper

    Several pupils from the Wise and Freedom Academy of Magic could be seen cheering Cosmia as she exited the stage."Congratulations, sweetheart. You've earned the respect of our Wise and Freedom. Cosmia received hugs from two of her closest pals, Lyony and Saffra."Thanks, ladies. I wish you both luck in the fight and excellent looks. The two Fey girls, who are also competitors in the magic talent competition this season, heard Cosmia voice her aspirations in return.The girls then lost themselves in delight and forgot the stress they had been under for days. At least Cosmia's triumph gave rise to hope. In actuality, gorgeous girls are highly capable and deserving of winning magic skill competitions like this.On the other side of the arena, Zhong from Huyuan City's Immortal Magic Academy had a dejected expression. Their martial arts instructor, Master Yoshitaka, appeared to be lecturing Zhong endlessly as he remained silent.Zhong had lost to a student from the Academy where Gerania wa

    Qingchang's magic talent fighting match is in its quarterfinals right now.Of course, there are a lot more people watching. Many visitors arrived hoping to view the fight in the Institute's arena. Still, they were forced to swallow their disappointment. There are no open seats in the stands. Disappointed looks can be seen on the faces of those waiting outside the arena to watch the contest inside the stadium, which is shown on a single tablet stone on the arena wall but only shows combatant silhouettes and the voice of the emcee Gerania.From her perch in the contingent, Kiran thumped her gaze.He recognized the woman he saw. In Shanggu City, Zetta Mui appeared to be seated in a row of Imperial sorcerers. The stunning woman appeared to be serving a half-old man who was costumed as a witch."There are some lovely women I know. Kiran whispered to Kiyowara, "Her name is Zetta Mui. Today's competition will include Kiran and Kiyowara as the Magentum Institute's competitors. A day earlier,

    Cosmia gradually gathered the last of her energy, managed to let out a terrifying scream, and then declared herself defeated."I concede defeat! That youngster is a wizard of demons. Following that, Cosmia started crying.Seeing Cosmia sitting and crying unceasingly caused a stir. Inside the arena, there was silence.Nobody experienced the suffering Cosmia did. Due to the delusion that poor Cosmia had, no one witnessed the occurrence with the severed hands and melting blood. What is obvious is that Cosmia's expression and the horror face are both filled with fear. And that clarifies what the Fey girl went through during Kiran's strike using illusion.Cosmia covered her eyes with two hands as the Healer's energy approached to take her up and carry her on a stretcher. She refrained from looking at Kiran's straight posture as she stood on stage.Cosmia even remained on the treatment room bed for days while receiving medical attention from the top Healer at the Magentum Institute.

    All evidence of the fight from the previous night was sealed on the chilly morning in the spruce forest when the wind rustled, bringing the snow flowers that dropped to the ground. As far as the eye can see, the landscape is now all white and gray.Roneko walks with Kiran as they stroll around the campsite. He kept asking the Kyuubi Roneko to tell him what had happened the previous night."Please tell me again, Roneko. Are you certain that the fire-phoenix figure is a representation of the powerful magic deed I performed?" Kiran did not give up.Roneko confirmed, a desperate look on his face and a smirk that showed the master never believed a word he said. Haven't you heard yourself, My Lord Kiran? Zephyr himself attests to your surprising golden Phoenix magic. So why ask the same question over and over again?"Kiran chuckled, still wearing a simple, disbelieving expression, "The issue is, I only rode once. With the Fire Peacock, even then. Not gold, but red is the color of the flames

    Tragedy on the Horizon.

    Minutes before the silver-eyed eagle left, after she received orders from the Nymph Leader, Roneko the Kyuubi had been watching the events between the silver-eyed and the Nymphs.While everyone was fixated on the battle on the horizon, the one between the Frost Giant - Ymir and the Golden Phoenix Silhouette, the Nymph Leader was trying to find an opportunity. He secretly summoned the silver-eyed eagle to inform the ruler of the Ice Palace of their dire situation.Who would have thought? From the Ternola Forest's side, Roneko watched all the happenings with great vigilance.When she saw the gray-colored light flashing from the Nymph's group, branching rapidly towards the horizon, it was at that moment that her figure wearing a red-colored dress also flashed, chasing after the Silver-Eyed Eagle.On the other hand, on the Nymph's side, such a crucial moment was not missed by the Nymph Leader.With eyes blazing, mouth wide open, she shouted frantically, "There's something red attacking th

    It was cold at night, and the wind was strong. There was a deep freeze in the Wonderland Realm, and there was a strange feeling in the air near the Spruce Forest.At the very moment that everyone in the Ternola Forest thought they were safe behind the magic mirror shield, a terrified cry rang out."Look! "The magic mirror is about to break!"Right away, things went from orderly to chaos.All the creatures that were protected by the magic of 100 Twilight Turtles became scared."Someone needs to do something! We'll all die if we don't!""Oh, is there still any magic power that can defeat that damned thing?"When Ymir's fist hit something, it made a loud noise, and the magic mirror's crackling sound scared everyone.In fear, they let out a roar, and then there was a sudden flight towards the crystal mirror, which was getting more and more cracked. It might even break soon."Who is it?""Where did that golden-colored figure come from?""The light of its body is dazzling!"All the people w

    Strings, strings, stringsThe harp strings tinkled softly as the Nymph Leader played strange notes on the strings. The other Nymphs looked sad and murmured as if they were singing with very low pitch and words. It gave everyone shivers."Damned magic!""They're summoning supernatural beings!"Fear crept up on the people who lived in the Ternola Forest.Right then, the sky on the horizon turned dark in an instant. There were black clouds in the sky that stopped the moonlight and starlight from falling to the ground.The air got colder all of a sudden. At the edge of the cypress forest, the still water looked like it was freezing as a cold wind filled the air.In the distance, you could hear footsteps. The sound was so loud that it made the ground shake, snowflakes fall, and water splashes fall right away.Press, press, press!From the north, everything watched with wide eyes."Ymir!" "Ice Giant!"Ymir was a mythical giant from Norse times. He was made of fire and ice and was very scary

    Golden Flame Magic and Black Cloud Terror.

    The golden-red flame that shot out of Kiran's body at that precise instant was not your typical flame, not one that could be ignited by a five-hundred-year-old Fire Peacock.Other species hardly ever saw this weird, perpetual glow. The color of the fire is gold.The first person to recognize this was Roneko, the fire chakra master Kyuubi. When the strangely hot light of immortality erupted from Kiran's flesh, she was the closest to him."Professor. This is fire that never goes out. Not a fire that a contract creature like a fire peacock might release." Roneko said, looking shocked.The monster that arose from Kiran's spirit was not a fire peacock, in Kyuubi's opinion.Roneko dared to confirm that, despite being a different species of bird, "it's not a peacock at all." What an odd bird. Unfortunately, Roneko reflected, that figure appears to be bound by a curtain of magic, which makes it look exceedingly enigmatic.Roneko heard Kiran's voice offering directions while he was still unsur

    Diolos the Pegasus felt drowsy all of a sudden that night as the cold seeped in through frost petals falling from the sky.He gave it some curious thinking. Diolos thought to himself, "I don't usually get sleepy so early in the night." Whining, he asked Kiran, who appeared to be experiencing sleepiness as well. The night sky served as his roof while he worked hard to spread out a sleeping mat beneath a fir tree.The whimpering voice of Diolos disturbed Kiran, and he chastised the Pegasus. "Slept on, Diolos. There's still a long way to go. This Wonderland Realm ends at the White Witch's Ice Palace. You'll require more stamina tomorrow." He gave his advise, and Kiran fell asleep almost immediately.His bed was the dried straw mat that was spun into a mat. Simultaneously, the down blanket—the most opulent piece of gear available at the time—attempted to shield every Ternola Forest species from the chilly night air. Although snowflakes started to fall from the sky that night, nobody's slu

    This large area appeared appropriate for erecting a makeshift tent the night before the weird incident, when Kiran and his two groups came, along with Zephyr and the war party from the Ternola Forest.Zephyr firmly exclaimed, "We'll rest until morning, then continue our journey to the Northern Palace!""Finally resting too..." Zephyr, the war leader, gave the order, much to the relief of the members of the special warband.The military men of all the ethnicities quickly and deftly erected tents. On the other hand, others made meals, gave each combatant medicine, and provided water.There were ten animals each race, and each race had dedicated people who planned the accommodations.Food like that eaten by creatures outside the Realm is no longer of the utmost importance in the Ternola Forest of this Wonderland Realm, where miracles occur beyond logic and conventional sense.Every race in this Realm has a number of shamans with magical abilities that can turn botanical components into p

    Tet - tet - tet...The five hundred Silent Owl troops whistled a war song, producing a sound like a trumpet. It was intentional to purposely amplify the sound of these hundreds of Silent Owls flapping their wings, creating an echoing sound that made anyone who heard it shiver, much like thousands of dragonflies flying.The wind-controlling foxes appeared to clear the path by marching orderly through Ternola Forest, behind the troops as they walked on the snow-packed road, all while making their clomping footsteps audible. The Breeze Foxes occasionally whistled, and when the wind picked up speed, it blew the snowdrifts aside, revealing the route north and allowing the men to advance without difficulty.Thousands of creatures living in the Ternola Forest lined both sides of the road as they saw the magical beast army's procession, which resembled a human army march.A thousand troops of tiny beings known as Spark Sprites, who could conjure electric sparks, strode silently but with a for

    Decision Day.

    Kiran became a little uneasy as Zephyr explained the plot to overthrow the White Witch, the King of the Ice Palace, and organize an uprising."Do you men in this Ternola Forest have an army to attack the King? If so, are you soldiers with training?" Kiran asked a question that made sense. If there were no skills at all, wouldn't every resident of this Ternola Forest perish needlessly in a conflict, especially against a well-trained Royal army?Zephyr grinned and replied, "My dear friend Kiran, you need not worry," after hearing her remarks, which appeared apprehensive. We have multiple troops in this woodland, and they are all magically skilled. When you finally get to see them tomorrow, you'll be shocked.""Tomorrow?" Kiran inquired. "You will start the attack tomorrow?" With incredulity, he asked. Kiran's worry was visible on his face. These residents of Ternola Forest were careless and inconsiderate of their strength.Zephyr answered with the naiveté of a ten-year-old: "That's corr
