A: Magic Forest

(12)

Lila took the initiative. The brave girl - or arguably shameless - came to the senior witch with the inscription 'Panitia' hovering above her head. He asked for a few seconds, then returned to his entourage to give him important information. "So I asked the senior witch who was there. He said, the race will be held soon and we have to record the participants there."

Lila and Aliga nodded. "Well, let's go there!" take Lila after. Finally, the three of them went to the participant registration hut and completed all the unimportant rounds about the witch data. All they had to do right now was wait because they never knew when the boundary energy circle between the gate to the Azvara Forest and the outside world would be opened.

Lila did not want to take the risk of entering that circle of energy prematurely. He had been warned by the committee that whoever was a witch or a companion of their group that entered the circle of energy, the entire group would be immediately disqualified. Lila did not want to run the race, but she also still wanted to win. For the blue-covered girl, being disqualified was the least contemptible form of defeat.

Suddenly, as they were talking about the abal-abal strategy they were going to do at the time of the next race, the magician battalion with trumpets entered the energy circle of the Azvara Forest barrier. The sound of trumpets echoed until it reached the five gates in different villages.

Awe ran through Lila's body. For more than fifteen years he lived, only this time he heard the sound of the trumpet so gallant as it is today. Coinciding after the trumpet-blowing army dispersed, a voice echoed throughout the village in the wizarding world.

"Good day and welcome to the thirteenth anniversary of the red moon. As you know, this race is held once every decade and this year is again held. The rules and how to play are still the same as last year. We have spread magic manuscripts in this forest and the first team that managed to collect ten manuscripts as well as bring them to the altar in the middle of Azvara Forest is the winner." The voice boomed so much that Lila was quite sure that her mother at home could hear the sound.

After that it was quiet. No more sounds were heard, not even a single gust of wind. Lila felt strange, but she didn't care about it. After they were given a cue by the senior witches to enter the arena of Azvara Forest, then they stepped into the magical forest.

When all the members of Lila's team had entered the forest, a circle of limiting energy reappeared and made anyone unable to enter or exit the energy circle that surrounded the Azvara Forest.

"Hmm ... What are we going to do now?"

"Stupid, didn't you hear what the voice just said?!"

"Where do I know," said Aliga lightly like without burden. It made Lila even hotter and the girl directly gave the man a little hot spell.

"Miss Peony, do you have any ideas?"

Miss Peony looked back thinking. "Hmm ... How about we go through this forest?"

"Yes, is that really why we came to this place?!" Aliga asked impatiently. For a long time, if he had to serve Lila and Miss Peony at the same time, he was worried that his mentality would be damaged soon.

"Oh, yes, Peony forgot."

This time, the three junior mages were one-hearted. They no longer know what to do with their companion.

"Ah, tap-"

"Additional rules-"
