"A brand new day begins.The third day of the Grand Magic Director Martial Arts Competition has officially started."
Chabadi continued his enthusiastic explanation.Today he was no longer accompanied by Heidi and Santi.Instead he was joined by the chubby Moses and the gloomy Barton.
"Let us welcome the two new Ten Wizard Saints, Moses Tulls."
"Hello everyone.Have a good meal and drinks."
"And Barton Nancy."
"Why did I have to come.I want to be with the doll."
"With the top eight teams gathered, the theme for today's competition is silence."
Chabadi announced the topic.
Snake Princess Scale and Azure Pegasus laughed.The information they got from Caesar was correct.
So.
"Lord Ichiya.Please."
"Man.Leave it to me."
"Leon.Freeze everything."
"That suits me."
Fairy Tail sent Gray.
"Silence.How do I handle this."
"Can you be more gentle."
"Minerva.You go."
"Yes Father."
Saber Toothed Tiger sent Minerva.
Mermaid Heel sent Miliana who specialized in binding.
The Four Hounds were confused.
Silence.
They did not match the theme at all.
After pushing each other for a long time, Ijeka who used plant magic was shoved forward.
The colorful unicorn and Sirius Fang sent their members as well.
"Activate the arena.Pumpkin."
A city appeared in the venue.
The pumpkin mascot spoke.
"You will be randomly teleported into the city.You must find other people.Sound detection devices are set around the city.If your noise exceeds sixty, you lose one point.If you hit someone with magic, the one hit loses one point and you gain one point.When someone reaches ten points, the match ends."
Everyone listened in silence.The organizers really knew how to design games.
Gray was teleported into a tavern.
He closed his mouth tightly.He stood up gently.He avoided making any sound.
He looked around and walked out.The wooden floor creaked under his feet and scared him.
He sighed in relief when he stepped onto solid ground.
"Oh no.Staying silent is too hard."
He spoke without thinking.A sound detector nearby instantly jumped to forty six.Gray closed his mouth again.
He knew going over sixty meant losing points.
The town looked big, but it was actually small inside the venue.
Gray crossed a street and saw Ijeka walking toward him.
Sorry.
Gray thought and took a stance.He released Ice Make Rider toward Ijeka.
Ijeka laughed as a wall of plants rose up.The rider pierced through it, but Ijeka had already run away.
Then the sound detector jumped to sixty five.Gray's score became negative one.
"Holy rift.It is a trap."
Gray was as careful as possible.He still lost a point.He felt terrible.
Others were the same.Points were lost instantly.
Everyone realized the key was not attacking.It was restraining others.
Miliana used her cat rope to tie the colorful unicorn mage into a tortoise shell bind.The rope grew tighter.The mage screamed from pain.
The colored unicorn score dropped to negative twenty.
"Full of energy."
Miliana laughed as she pulled the rope.Her score rose to five.
Gray froze a mage from Sirius Fang and began gaining points.
The match would only end when someone reached ten.
"Hmph."
Ichiya was hiding nearby and saw Leon.He laughed.
"What is funny."
Leon spoke quietly as cold air formed.
"This match is made for me."
Ichiya took out two perfume tubes and shoved them into his nostrils.
"Inhale from your armpits.The fragrance of your underarms."
Ichiya removed his shirt and revealed his round body.He raised his arm.A thick yellow mist burst out from his underarm and spread through the town.
"Holy rift.What is this.Poison gas.Help."
Leon was closest.The mist burned his eyes.He coughed and teared up.He inhaled it accidentally and felt like dying.
He was only the first.The mist spread and overwhelmed the second and third victims.
Even holding their breath did not help.The stinging magic mist entered their noses.
Anyone who inhaled even a little choked immediately.Their sound passed sixty.
"That was terrifying.Ichiya is horrible."
Chabadi stood and roared.
"He wiped out the whole field.This man is terrifying.Azure Pegasus wins with overwhelming advantage.They take ten points."
Blue Pegasus looked conflicted.
No guild blamed their own mage.They would have lost too.
Ichiya was perfect for this match.No one could survive him.
Caesar sighed and patted Ur on the shoulder.
"Gray did his best."
Ur smiled bitterly.No one expected Ichiya to use such a method.
Ur knew that even though Ichiya won, he would be beaten once he returned.
Other mages fought using skill.Ichiya used a biological weapon.The resentment would be huge.
Ichiya understood this.
When the city vanished and everyone glared at him, he lifted a perfume tube from his nose and held another in his hand.
"Man.If you do not retaliate, we can still be friends.I can remove the smell.If not, you will endure it for three months."
Everyone thought the same thing.
We want to kill him.
