Chapter 50: Opening Ceremony of the Reversal (4)


Maya had been the top student in her year at the Academy.

Although people didnt realize it, when it came to manipulating magic, there was no one who could surpass her among the students and professors.

Telekinesis and defensive barriers.

Pure magical skills that didnt require mysticism.

With enough preparation, she had confidence that she could go head-to-head even with knights without being pushed back.

And Ella was also no ordinary girl.

When it came to physical abilities, acrobatics, and perceptiveness, she was so outstanding that it was hard to find peers who could match her.

The posture she was currently assuming might just look like she was standing awkwardly to an outsider, but it contained the secrets of a technique called Lightning Hoop in earth bending. If Maya were to use magic, Ella was ready to leap forward and deliver a mid-air somersault kick to her chin.

The two of them continued to escalate the tension between them.

The other members surrounding them couldnt find the right moment to intervene, despite their concerns.

Hey, this doesnt look good.

Are they really going to fight?

Who do you think will win?

Magicians are weak in close combat. Besides, the opponent is the assistant ringmaster.

Shall we make a bet? Im on Ella.

Me too

Im also voting for Ella.

Then, its not a bet.

Who said we were making a bet?

As the two teenage girls seemed about to start a brawl, the adults sat around calmly, making such leisurely comments.

Is no one planning to stop them?

Yurakne sighed inwardly.

Similar situations had been repeating over the past few days.

The reasons for their fights were different each time.

But the breaking point was always the same.

Wonderstein.

From the moment he was mentioned, the conversation turned into a torrent.

From then on, neither of them would back down.

It was funny that when the ringmaster himself appeared, they would stop fighting as if they had never fought in the first place.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

They would become quiet as if asking, When did we ever fight?

But today, it seemed like the fight was on the verge of crossing the line of amusement.

If they werent careful, one of them could get seriously hurt.

With the ringmaster not present, Yurakne was the only one who could stop them.

Both of you, stop it.

Yurakne intervened between the two.

While they would ignore comments from other members, they couldnt disregard Yuraknes words.

To Ella, Yurakne was the most reliable older sister in the circus, and to Maya, she was the closest member to the respected ringmaster.

Up until now, they would quietly step back if she stepped forward.

But today, for some reason, they didnt want to do that.

Their pride wouldnt allow them to yield first.

And so, the standoff continued with Yurakne in the middle.

Although it was dangerous, she decided to use the all-purpose spell.

What do you think the ringmaster will think if he finds out that you two are acting like this?

At the mention of the ringmaster, both of them shuddered.

He was the motivation behind their fights and their weakness.

The reasons were different.

Maya worried that she would appear as a nave child to him.

On the other hand, Ella didnt like the fact that he would knew that she was shaken because of him.

So thats what happened.

Yurakne briefly explained todays events to Wonderstein.

She didnt mention the fight between Ella and Maya.

She simply portrayed it as Ella trying to help Maya accelerate her flame implementation but making a mistake in the process.

Im glad no one got hurt, Wonderstein said, looking at the shattered surroundings.

If he hadnt rushed here after receiving the request, many members would have been injured.

When he suddenly jumped into the garden, the members near the bomb backed away in shock when they saw him.

At that moment, Maya emerged from one corner of the garden, covered in dirt and grass, her dress in disarray.

It seemed she had rolled behind the bushes when the explosion occurred.

Wonderstein smiled as he looked at her.

Are you okay? Did you get hurt?

No, Im fine.

Wonderstein smiled as he looked at the sketchbook she held in her hand.

She hadnt let go of it since she rolled back.

Hmm, did you manage to capture the explosion?

Mayas favourability had exceeded 15 from the moment she joined the circus troupe, so as soon as her name was added to the members list, she received her first reward.

Name: Mayas Sketchbook

Target: Anything Maya has seen.

Effect: When held, the sketchbook stores the three-dimensional form of the target.

Requirements: Mayas favourability above 15, magic power

This was the system that supported Mayas abilities in the game, Blueprints, and it was provided in the form of an item in this world.

With this, Maya could instantly capture and save the shape of passing objects or complex shapes to use when needed. Even capturing explosions was possible as long as it fit within the sketchbooks longevity limit.

However, her sketchbook had cut off in the middle of the explosion.

A hint of embarrassment crossed Mayas face as she replied, I didnt expect such a big explosion, so I closed my eyes.

Wonderstein smiled wryly at her response. Thats a shame. But it cant be helped. Taking it slowly isnt a bad idea. Safety is more important, after all.

But we dont have much time. The competition is coming up soon.

Ella approached, dusting off the black powder from her clothes.

We need to do it again! Get me more materials. I used up everything I collected this time.

Ella spoke confidently.

Even after all that, shes not afraid of danger, Wonderstein thought.

He looked at her and shook his head. We cant do that.

Why not?

Because its too dangerous. We all could have been injured.

This time was just a mistake.

It doesnt matter. Ella, you almost got hurt.

I was going to perform a stunt right after the explosion.

Regardless, its not allowed.

Wonderstein rarely displayed such strong determination.

His smile, his tone, and his actions were all just a faade to hide his true self when he had to confront situations like this.

All right, fine. I get it. Youre the circus leader, so we have to stick to the old ways. Womon and Bemdict looked disappointed. By the way, what about going to the cabaret?

The Grand Circus Prix opening ceremony was tomorrow.

Each circus troupe had to submit a list of members who would participate in the ceremony to the theatre by today.

There was more to see outside the theatre anyway.

Inside, most of the schedule was dedicated to the elderly people in expensive suits for the greetings. There was no need for the ringmaster and other members to participate.

But strangely, Ella and Maya had volunteered to participate.

Since Wonderstein had nothing else to do, he had visited the theatre himself to submit the list and was now on his way back.

In response to Ellas question, Wonderstein smiled awkwardly and said, Thats a complicated matter.

Wonderstein looked at the two girls and continued, Ella and Maya wont be able to /CircusTL
