Chapter 7
If there is a scene in this world that can be described as majestic, breathtaking, and awe-inspiring, it would be the one unfolding before my eyes right now.
The most elite magical forces of the continent have gathered together, and even a single embroidered golden robe floating in the air symbolizes the greatest royal mage of each kingdom. With their long eyebrows and the waves of immense magic power they control with a wave of their hand, it is suffocatingly powerful.
Under the gaze of the godly eyes of the fire magic deity, the earth seems to turn into a liquid, with cracks emitting golden light that shoots up into the sky. The originally square ground is lifted by the countless moving magical lights, creating a magnificent plain suitable for life.
I am at a loss for words to fully express this scene, and if I had to compare it to something, it would be like the creation of the world at the beginning.
However...
"Um, I have a question..."
When Damia, who was standing next to me, heard my words, she raised her eyebrows and clasped her hands together in front of her chest, responding with a gentle smile.
"Yes, please go ahead?"
I organized my thoughts and language, and pointed towards the only thing that didn't fit the picture:
"Why is there a banner on the wall that looks like it was put up with glue, as if it were for a hundred-year anniversary celebration of a kindergarten in a village? Couldn't they have used magic paper or goat skin or something? This seems really cheap."
"Hmm? Wouldn't that be wasteful to use those things? After all, this is just a temporary sign, right?"
I silently looked at the banner that said "Construction ahead, watch your step" and suddenly realized that my complaint seemed a bit off.
A wave of delinquent vibes, with a hint of a childish tone, hit me, and not even the awe-inspiring scene in front of me could stop the surging excitement in my heart.
Forget it, in the end, we're just renovating a playground ()
With the help of at least a dozen mages, who are all at least adept mages, Emile completely restored the playground to its original state, including the damaged ping pong tables.
For some reason, each of them cast advanced blessings on the tables, such as "Luminous Bind", "Divine Shield", and "Steel Protection".
No, I think I know the reason...
Looking at the refreshed playground, Damia, who was busy giving orders, clapped her hands with a cheerful smile.
"Alright, that's good. Thank you everyone. Let's continue our competition immediately."
The School of Balancing has always been efficient and straightforward. Once it says start, it starts. It doesn't matter if there was just a catastrophic flood, as long as the playground is fixed, we can continue without any buffer time.
"Take it easy, don't worry too much," Ayia said as she pat Vaca's shoulder with one hand, holding a skewer of meatballs in the other hand, "It's just a mistake and the teacher is teaching you a lesson. Don't worry, the teacher will forgive you. By the way, do you want to eat meatballs?"
Vaca curled up, occasionally shivering, and didn't show the same chuunibyou enthusiasm as usual.
"You... You only say these things because you were asleep during the competition. It's easy for you to say standing there. Even if you saw what happened, you wouldn't understand my feelings. At most, you're just a bystander. How could you possibly understand the feelings of someone involved, especially me, the primary target of Ai Ai... Aimi-sensei's venting?"
Well, as an eyewitness who saw the sparks and lightning along the way, I can imagine Vaca's feelings, but I'm more curious about how Ayia could sleep so soundly in that situation.
By the way, I heard she was carried out when the playground was being renovated...
Oh, by the way, speaking of which, the main culprit who destroyed the playground, Emile...
Damia threw her out thousands of miles away for self-reflection, and it is said that it would take her at least two or three days to come back here.
For the participants, it's probably a good thing.
I looked at the students on the playground, all packed together, adjusting bandages and taking medications.
Hmm, it's definitely a good thing.
