Chapter 138 - Preparing for the Festival [A Tour of Giemburg, Part 2]

Several seconds after he left, Jia opened the gate while calling out to them:

"You can come in, I managed to trick him!"

As they entered, Brevica spoke sarcastically as she looked at her:

"You did not deceive anyone. You basically resemble him, as if you were him!" To the point that I feel that I am with Yuta himself, if it were not for the fact that you disagree on several matters at the same time."

"Like cold and hot water, or so to speak, like the dragon and the phoenix. One of them loves power, interest, and personal goals, and the other loves isolation and prosperity for himself, but without exploiting what is around him."

Jiya remained silent as she listened to Brevika's words, which seemed to be indirectly saying that she and Yuta were one person.

However, Yuta belongs to the Caseral family, which only includes Yuta Caseral, his sister Ceria, and Barkwa, who died some time before Yuta joined the academy.

In addition to the lack of any information about Count Yamirzas having a child, even though he was accused of involvement with the Scorpion organization, especially the Black and White Scorpion, despite her research over the past three months with the help of followers of the McTeer family.

All of this makes the idea that they are brothers or from the same family very weak, until she finds evidence that proves the validity of her claim and connects all the threads together.

They continued on their way without any delay, fearing that the real Yuta would come and get them into real trouble; Yuta was strict with anyone who used his identity.

Lucy, Brevica, and Lauren all had admiring looks as they watched the workers prepare the entertainment center.

The finished toys were so tempting that they wanted to try them, but they were off, and the mana crystals that powered them had not yet been placed.

This made them upset that they could not play any of the games, as they had planned.

As they walked around the entertainment center, they felt Yuta's presence behind them, making them terrified. Let Lucy, Brevica, and Lauren all bow and apologize in one voice:

"Yuta, we didn't mean it, please forgive us!"

Jia looked at them with astonishment, as they bowed down with black faces out of fear.

She spoke in an annoyed tone as she left them:

"What a bunch of fools you are! I feel embarrassed just to stay one second next to you!

Signs of embarrassment appeared on their faces after they listened to Gia's words, so they raised their heads and looked at Beatrice and Gia, who left them frozen in their places.

Then they decided to follow them, the embarrassment still evident on their faces.

After five minutes of walking around the entertainment center, they found many types of games that were still unusable.

Lauren sighed as she looked around, then spoke sarcastically as she looked at the virtual reality game:

"You have the same presence as Yuta, so much so that I thought you were him!"

Lauren spoke while patting the person next to her without even looking at him, only to be surprised to see Gia and Beatrice looking at a toy.

She turned her gaze towards the person who was next to her, only to find that Yuta Caseral was looking at her with cold eyes, and his sharp crimson eyes were enough to strike fear into her heart.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

She screamed loudly in shock, and Lucy, Beatrice, Brevica, and Jia all ran towards her to find out what happened.

They found Yuta with her, looking at them with cold looks, as if saying: What the hell are you doing? Who allowed you to enter in the first place?

He discovered Jia was with them, making him realize why they were inside a facility that was still under maintenance.

He took a deep breath as he looked at them, examining each one of them, from Brevica to Beatrice, then to Lauren standing in front of him, who was slowly stepping back.

"Lucy, Beatrice, Brevica, Gia, Lauren, I ask you to leave the place immediately. It is currently under maintenance, and any foolish action, even if unintentional, will cause damage to the hardware. It is better to prepare the necessary funds for compensation if this happens."

He then snapped his fingers, and they disappeared from their place, leaving them no opportunity to say anything in defense of their position.

Outside the entertainment center, each of them found themselves standing in front of the private gate, while looking at the card stuck on the door.

Card content

\[⚠️⚡ No entry! The building is in a maintenance period, and there are highly sensitive materials.

Maintenance duration: 3 days.

Start of maintenance: Monday, June 1, 675.

Completion day: Wednesday 03 June 675.

Opening day: Thursday, June 4, 675.

Therefore, we ask customers to wait for the opening that will be held on the day of the festival, knowing that the first two days will be free of charge.\]

Brevica, Lucy, and Lauren all sighed in frustration as they left the place; They wanted to try the games, but they were off and did not have the energy needed to run them.

Which made visiting other entertainment centers useless, as they realized that Yuta had set a password to identify them, and since Jiya was with them, they would be able to enter it.

"So, what are you planning? "Do we continue as planned, or do we change the plan?"

Brevica spoke excitedly while trying to change the subject.

Lauren looked at her in surprise for several seconds, before speaking curiously, forgetting what had happened previously:

"I'm curious about the places you wanted to visit. "It's going to be a lot of fun, isn't it?"

Lucy put her hands around her neck, while smiling slightly, which made Lauren feel a little confused for several seconds.

"Since we have agreed on what we will do, our next destination will be the Garden of Yang and Yin, where the Zao Li and Alessandra trees are located."

They looked at it for several seconds, before heading to the Yang and Yin Garden, which was considered the oldest garden in human history, thanks to it being a sacred place created from the confluence of qi, qi, and mana over millions of years.

It was considered one of the rare places in the world that contained Konoa in the atmosphere, and not just a collection of unconnected energies.

Any konoa user had to distribute it within his body precisely, otherwise chaos would occur inside him if the chi entered the mana core, and vice versa.

In places like the Yang and Yin Garden, they didn't have to do that, because the qi, qi, and mana were all mixed together, making their distribution very easy; When energy enters the body, it moves to its places on its own, but when it is outside it, you must then direct it yourself.

Although it seems difficult, thanks to continuous training and practice, they were able to make it as natural as walking.

Therefore, the Yang and Yin Garden was considered a seven-star resort for them, visited by all races.

An hour of walking passed before they reached it, only to find it closed, and the same message was on the gate leading to the Yang and Yin Garden.

Message content

\[Entry is forbidden! The garden is in maintenance period.

Maintenance duration: 4 days.

Start of maintenance: Sunday, May 31, 675.

Completion day: Wednesday 03 June 675.

Opening day: Thursday 04 June 675.

Therefore, we ask customers to wait for the opening that will be held on the day of the festival, knowing that the first two days will be free of charge.\]

Which made them feel more disturbed than they were; They were unable to visit the Yang-Yin Garden because it was temporarily closed, and they realized that the circus workers would prevent them from entering it as well.

"So, what should we do now? "We didn't do anything we planned to do!"

Lucy spoke annoyed and sad, because she had not been able to do what she wanted to do all day, and it was eleven thirty-four in the morning.

Beatrice looked at them for several seconds, before speaking, breaking the silence that had fallen:

"How about we go back to Ain Sultan Restaurant and have breakfast, then continue our wandering around the city? There are still many things we can see."

Signs of enthusiasm appeared on the faces of Lucy, Brevica, and Lauren after hearing Beatrice's words, which restored some enthusiasm to them to complete the day.

However, this did not last long, because walking around alone, with 90% of the shops and entertainment places closed, was of no use, with the exception of the Ain Sultan restaurant, which operates around the clock and is considered the most famous Arab and local restaurant in the city of Gusembourg.

It had visitors from inside and outside the city of Gusmburg, which made it impossible to close it. So they decided to go to him, because he was already part of their plans.

Two hours of wandering passed before they arrived at Ain Sultan Restaurant, where they sat around the dining table and then chose their orders.

Lauren spoke as she looked at them, remembering what happened when Yuta kicked them out:

"Isn't he your friend? Why did he fire us like that, as if we were a bunch of idiots who were going to ruin his business?"

Both Brevica and Lucy looked at her with obvious annoyance after hearing her words, and called them intrusive idiots.

Beatrice replied while looking at the waiter as he placed the food on the table:

"As I understand it, the devices are still unstable, as they do not contain a mana core that serves as both fuel and a stabilizing tool at the same time. Or perhaps, as you said, we were to him a bunch of meddlesome fools, and I think the second possibility is more correct."

Both Brevica and Lucy's looks became more annoyed and angry after hearing Beatrice's words, so they began to eat their food while talking among themselves.

Elsewhere, within the Verselkin Academy, both Solliver and Leo were the academy's most senior, experienced and prestigious professors.

Leo looked at Solliver with calm eyes for several seconds, before he spoke, breaking the silence between him and Solliver:

"Master Sulliver, as I noticed during the midterm exam, after watching all the recorded scenes of the students several times, as well as the battle that took place against the Scorpion Organization at that time, and the fight against the Goblin ruler Cavlior..."

"There are Muggle students with terrifying abilities, both outside and inside Verselkin Academy. Among them are Tom, Armin, Seok, and Privika from the academy, Aron from Gens Magic Academy, and Son Goku. I think it would be best to have them go with us to the Heavenly Immortals Academy, if the Director of the Gens Magic Academy agrees."

Solliver remained silent as he reviewed Leo's words; There were three Muggle students with terrifying abilities, and a student from another academy housed in the Imperial Capital.

Although it may seem attractive to the other party, going outside the ordinary world is an honor that only the best people get, and only a few of them, as their percentage is estimated at 0.01% of the population of the ordinary world, which contains five worlds, and who were able to leave their ordinary world freely.

However, the director of the Gens Magic Academy is very stubborn, and will refuse the request. Moreover, the Heavenly Immortals Academy might in turn refuse, since they had drawn up the list of students after the written examination, and confirmed it after returning from Uspeekers City.

Therefore, even if the headmaster of the Gens Magic Academy agreed, the Heavenly Immortals Academy might not agree, and might even cancel the joint study in the first place. That is why rejecting that decision was the wisest for him.

A sigh of frustration escaped Leo's mouth after realizing this, and he changed the subject to another goal that had been on his mind since he was on Jigua Island.

"Mr. Director, I noticed that Versalkin Academy directs its attention to students with high social classes, because most of them belong to families with a strong social status. For example, Utah Caseral, although currently a baron, is the head of one of the most powerful major companies, and on top of that he monopolizes 55% of the world market and 37% of employment."

"As for Lucy, Gray, Yoruichi, Geya, and Gotter, they are considered members of the Grand Duchies. Beatrice is the granddaughter of the former Magic Emperor Boswell, who is considered the miracle of the century in various sciences."

"There is little focus on Muggle students, although there are several capable students, including Brevica the Bald, Tom, Armin, Seok, Suho, Nicholas, Kazuhiro, Christian, Leon, and Inuyasha, who left after the end of their fight against the Goblin Lord Cavlior."

"So, what do you think, Mr. Solliver? Will you start considering my application?

Solliver kept thinking about it; There were several commoner students with terrifying abilities this year. This year was called the Year of Miracles, due to the emergence of several personalities with exceptional talent, abilities, and skills.

However, supporting the commoners and focusing on them will attract a lot of criticism from fanatical nobles. However, at the same time it was the wisest decision; Making Versalkin Academy treat every student equally will make it better in the future.

It will also limit the problems that occur between the commoners and the nobles who are fanatical about the idea that they are the best, and that the commoners are worthless, which are problems that may cause ideas of coup and the outbreak of civil wars in the future.

"Well, you're right, Mr. Liu. Treating students equally will help Versalkin Academy become the best in the future."

Solliver's tone was calm as he took out a document and wrote that it was legal.

A satisfied smile appeared on Leo's face, as he looked at Director Sulliver as he wrote that into the document. Although the decision would not be implemented until next year, he was accepting of it.

He spoke happily while recalling the promise he made to Seok that day:

"Thank you, Mr. Solliver, for not rejecting my proposal."

"No thanks necessary. It is my business and your business, and it is beneficial to Vrselkin Academy and to the students who study there now and in the future. "You can leave now, Mr. Liu."

Leo left the place, while still a slight smile on his face; His feeling that he had fulfilled his promise and completed his debt made him feel extremely happy.

Solliver looked towards the window, finding students and professors cooperating with each other to finish work quickly.

Then he returned his gaze to the papers and documents he had to study.

Two remaining days passed before the festival, with the same activity and enthusiasm with which they began, with help, cooperation, rest and recreation for some, and activity and work for others.

The four days before the start of the festival were not just a period of preparation, but rather a period that everyone used for something; To gain benefits and wealth, or just to rest, until he is ready for the festival.

The seven days may be long for some, and short for others. However, they will be unforgettable days for each person, but they will be different from one person to another.
