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.

    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.

    The sky was clear that morning. The city of Shanggu was imbued with a happy mood. Everyone was eager to get to the Magentum Institute's arena to watch the magic students of Qingchang Country compete. One of the largest momentums in the Qingchang Empire is this one.You won't have a spot to watch if you are even a little late.A startling truth was encountered in the arena's environment. Before the semifinal duel started, something unexpected occurred.When Gerania's name was called, Kiran was already on stage. Lennox from Skylight Academy is his opponent today, and they are both from Shanggu City. Not to mention that Lennox had begun the proceedings with a surprise and that Gerania's cue had already sounded."I admit my defeat!" Lennox spoke loudly. The incident caused a commotion throughout the entire arena."What? I found it hard to believe. Repeat the action one more time!" Gerania scowled. It gracefully landed on the stage after gracefully diving down with its lovely wings."I con

    There is no need to wait until the talent competition Finals start at eight o'clock in the morning.At this time, all the benches in the stands of the Institute arena were full of spectators. There was not a sitting room left. The audience, who did not get seats, were forced to frown with sour faces, standing outside the battle court to watch the silhouettes of the Finalists on magically arranged tablets when the duel later took place on stage.There were many important people present at the talent competition finals today.Not only Witch Ailbert and Zetta Mui, who since the semifinals have been watching the talent contest while sitting in the seat of honor with enthusiasm but Judge Banegi – City Lord of Shanggu, is also seen sitting next to The Witch Ailbert.

The day that his final fight was against Kiran – the village boy who, on the night of the banquet of the garden party welcoming the contestants of the magic talent contest in Qingchang, had conquered him.The voice always rang in Zuma's mind."There will be countless scouts who will watch the finals later! Judge Banegi, Wizard Ailbert, and many more, will be watching your performance against that Magentum Institute student! I hope you don't do such stupid actions again!" The look in Commander Naram's eyes seemed to split Zuma's heart.Zuma's heart had been beating wildly since Commander Naram knocked on his bedroom door. He was really scared.

    "Hi, Kiran! How are you?" The familiar face greeted Kiran.Kiran heard Zetta Mui's voice so soft and melodic. It felt like the witch whispered directly to her ears. To Kiran, Zetta Mui's voice sounded like a harp strumming. Sonorous but soft. Rhythmic, calming, and beautiful."I'm fine, Miss Mui. Er, I actually didn't expect you to come and watch my fight in the arena," Kiran's voice sounded nervous. I don't know why. The thumping sound in his chest always rings whenever he talks to the beautiful witch.Zetta Mui developed a smile. It resembles a rose that blooms in the morning and exudes a distinctive fragrance.Kiran's face turned bright red.In reality, it wasn't just Kiran who was fascinated then. The whole room fell silent. Their focus was directed at Zetta Mui, still standing at the room's door. Inexplicably, a fragrant and sweet fragrance was spreading out of the girl. Zetta Mui uses a special fragrance.Kiran tried to look unfazed. He tried to dampen his heartbeat.Zetta Mui t

    Most of the students of Magentum Institute spend their weekends wandering around and having fun in downtown Shanggu City, including on this weekend.Unlike the previous days when the competition crowd was in progress, the large courtyard of the Magentum Institute that morning seemed deserted. The uproarious feast of the entire Magic Academy student talent competition Qingcheng has been completed. All the competition participants from the various Magic Academies who had come from other cities had returned that night to their respective cities - a few hours after Kiran was crowned the winner of the prestigious contest.That morning, Kiran walked through the Institute's still-dirty courtyard. He has an appointment with four of his friends – Lila, Yara, Chen, and Kenji.The crowds that had been present for several days had left fragments of rubbish everywhere. The garbage left around the yard seemed to be being cleaned up by some worker ghosts, and also the garden elves who showed sullen

    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

    Army of Mutant Nymphs.

    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
