Colloseum [44]

"well I guess this is our goodbye" Sarya said

"my guild mates are waiting for me" Lily replied

After a small goodbye, Lily soon went away holding her staff. Sarya really wanted her to stay for a bit longer but she couldn't find herself to actually do it, it would be selfish to propose that since Lily pretty much took care of her and Kai in the past few days now.

Sarya watched her disappeared until she was now gone. She felt a slight for force pulling her towards the east, it's her sword again. She got pulled like a person that is water skiing, Kai followed her and Sieg was hesitant. He looked at the direction where his town was located, why did he leave he asked himself. The reason why he followed Sarya was because he wanted to look into Ferris for a bit more, but now that Ferris is gone he was left with two choices.

He didn't thought of the future until now, he had the choice, Suddenly going back home or keep following Sarya. Every second Sarya and Kai got further and further away, he looked at his town he looked at Sarya he looked at his town he looked at Sarya.

"..."

He wanted to go back but an unknown feeling kept telling his soul the same phrase, follow her, follow her, follow her. His body ticked and ran towards Sarya and without his knowledge he actually activated his wind spirit again, making him ran like the wind crossing the vast plains. Did the wind spirit made him do this or was it Sieg, nevertheless they both agreed.

"wait for me!" he shouted at them

The three ran like animals, leaving a large trail of dust cloud right behind them. Kai and Sieg actually felt that they could do a full marathon twice without rest, their bodies filled with new power and full of high energy. Both of them easily catched up with Sarya getting pulled by her sword.

***

The sword finally stopped, surprisingly Sarya kept her balance during the whole trip. Right in front of them was a single large bush covering their view, they walked forward to see what the sword brought to them again, and what they saw was astounding. The moment they pushed away the leaves of the Bush they saw a kingdom that appeared to be a place purely for wizards. They viewed the whole kingdom from a tall cliff.

A new place to explore. All of them quickly went down the cliff, of course they didn't jump because it was to high for them. They took the short route by going back down and approach the kingdom at ground level. While they were walking down they had a perfect opportunity to chat in the meantime.

"remember the demons we fought" Sarya told Kai

"which one?"

"I can't help but notice, some of them said My lady will be happy, lady this lady that. Don't you remember"

"I don't pay much attention to small details"

[Note]

Fun fact. The woman that the demons talked about was actually a summon now, Ferris's first mage summon. Who knew that they were connected.

"let's just hope we don't see her again" Sarya said.

Walking up a hill can be difficult for your legs since you have to put more power into to your leg muscles however, walking downwards is way more easier. With this, the crew didn't took to much time and effort to go down. They finally made it inside the magical kingdom, to them it felt like they traveled a hundred years into the future because of the interesting contraptions that popped up out of nowhere, each corner of the kingdom can be full of mysteries.

Suddenly a large announcement took place, Everyone in the kingdom heard it clearly and loudly as if the announcement was planted inside their heads.

"the school's final examination is taking place, I repeat the school's final examination is taking place, please feel free to watch the finals at the central arena." the announcer said to everyone

"central arena?..... oh...wow~~"

When she looked up, the large clouds faded away reaveling a large floating colloseum that casted a giant shadow covering most of the entire kingdom.

The people suddenly ran towards it. Even if Sarya was the hero, no one bothered to look at her, the crowds shoved her away so they could get to the transport platforms that lead to the top.

The crew decided to follow along, they were pretty curious. The hype of the people was high and the hype also affected the crew leading them to tag along.
