Chapter 187 Hams City
In the center of the Kingdom of Fiore, there is a hidden valley with picturesque scenery, rugged rocks, ingenious vegetation, springs and wild fruits, various magical beasts and wonders. It can be said that the valley is full of mysteries. The Demisoer School of Magic is located in this valley.
The academy is surrounded by mountains on all sides. The peaks are so high that birds cannot fly over them. There is also a defensive magic circle on the top to protect the inside and outside. Even a flying wizard would have a hard time getting in and out. The air defense measures are first-class. The valley is a self-contained world with the academy as the core. It has almost reached the point of self-sufficiency through magic and hardly needs any life supplies from the outside.
There is only one road in and out of the entire valley, and it is guarded by special personnel. It is not open easily at ordinary times. The only time it is open is the annual enrollment event. Apart from that, unless something big happens, entry and exit are generally prohibited. Even if the King of Fiore or the Dean of the Council comes in person, they have to come secretly and leave quietly.
About half a day's walk east from the valley, there is a city called Hams.
Hams is the closest city to the valley, or to the Demisool Magic Academy. The academy's information exchange with the outside world, life supplies, social teaching, and the most important admissions examination are all conducted here. Influenced by this, many people come here and even settle here, just to have the opportunity to enter the academy to study magic.
At this time, Kira was standing on the street of Hams City with three little ghosts. At this time, Kira inexplicably felt that his team was like the ninja team doing missions in the next door Naruto, with one jonin and three genin.
"Boss Kira, didn't the people from that academy invite you to come here? Why are we standing here?"
The person asking the question was a loyal fan of "Magic Breaks the Sky", Ika, a funny guy with short black hair, wearing a blue-green cloth and a blue-black cape on his back. He looked very energetic.
Ika has an inexplicable admiration for Kira, so he calls him boss and even learns to wear a cloak like him.
In addition to Kira, Ika also has another idol, Natsu, because Kira told him that Natsu is the prototype of the protagonist Yan in the novel.
Kira read the invitation letter over and over again, and said worriedly, "How should I know? The invitation letter only says that it is in Hams City, but does not say the specific address... Don't worry, a school like Demisol will not make such a low-level mistake as not writing the address. I guess this must be one of the assessments!"
Ika suddenly realized, and looked at Kira with a gleam in his eyes: "So that's how it is! You are worthy of being the boss Kira, you guessed their purpose right away!"
"Of course!" Kira was flattered and felt a little proud. He waved his hand and said, "Anyway, in order to avoid embarrassment when we meet, let's go around this city first and find the reception desk of the academy. If we can't find it in the end, we can just use the excuse that 'we were attracted by the scenery of this city'!"
"Yeah! I get it! Boss is really smart!"
On the side, the other two watched the interaction between Kira and Ika. Akas, who was dressed in a red hooded coat and Little Red Riding Hood, was speechless: "Sure enough, Sister Kana is right. Teacher Kira is sometimes like an idiot~"
"Teacher Kira must have his reasons for doing this, we have to believe him!" The boy said at last, "This is just like sticking to exercise and keeping healthy. As long as you stick to it, you will definitely gain something!"
Due to years of regular exercise, Sang Wan appears taller, stronger, darker, and a little balder than his peers.
Little Red Riding Hood thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any connection between insisting on exercise and believing in Kira. She thought: "Sangmaru must have some serious brain disease. I remember that he seemed to like the big guy in Fairy Tail who shouted "manly" every day..."
"Sure enough, they are the kind of people whose brains are all brawn..."
For the next hour or so, Kira took the three little ones to wander around Hams.
"Boss Kira, look! It's the food court!"
“Ohhhh! Eat eat eat!!”
"Boss Kira, come on, there's a playground here!"
"Ohhhh! Play, play, play!!"
"Boss Kira, please leave! This shop is a shady one and charges so much!"
"Ahhh! Run, run, run!"
"Boss Kira..."
…
"Hey, this person is..."
Kira, who was running on the street, suddenly stopped. Ika, who was chasing after him, bumped into him directly and finally fell down with a bang.
“It hurts!”
Kira realized it later, turned around and looked down at Ika on the ground, tilted his head and asked: "What are you doing lying on the ground?"
"Well, I'm tired from running, and the ground is cool..."
Akas who caught up with him covered his head in silence: This brain-dead fan is really hopeless...
"Kira-sensei, what are you looking at?"
Following the direction, Sangwan's eyes came to a corner of the street, where a small group of people gathered. In the crowd, there was a child who looked about the same age as him, performing to make a living.
It is said to be a performing art, but to be more precise it is a magic show.
The Kingdom of Fiore is a magical country, and the popularity of magic is among the highest in the entire Ishgar. Many people learn magic at a very young age, so this situation is not uncommon.
Even they, when they were at Magnolia, occasionally had such a job.
Now is the time for the Demisool Magic Academy to enroll students. There are many magicians gathered in Hams City. If you make a name for yourself, you may be able to join a magic guild and then have a stable job.
If I'm lucky enough and someone in the Demisool School of Magic takes notice of me, maybe I'll have a safe future. Simply put, this is an opportunity.
"This person's magic seems to be very powerful. He might be here to register for school. Combined with what Teacher Kira just said, this might be his entrance exam..."
Kuwamaru thought so in his heart, but did not express it much. He waited quietly for Kira beside him to speak. Beside him, Ika and Akas also noticed Kira's abnormality and turned to look.
He was a young man with long golden hair, a red noble hat, a white gentleman's as a bard. Although he was performing on the street, there was no shyness or restraint on his face. Instead, he was generous and his manners showed a gentlemanly demeanor.
Seeing his idol being fascinated by a boy about his age on the street, Ika felt inexplicably annoyed.
Boss Kira is my boss!
"This little brat, he just knows a little magic, what's there to be proud of?"
At this time, the young man performing magic waved his right hand above his head, and a bright flame suddenly ignited in his hand, followed by ice, water, thunder, wind and other elements. Although their power was not strong, his posture was elegant, the magic was cool, and the special effects were gorgeous, which attracted cheers .
The cheers made Ika even more unhappy. The child's temper flared up and he couldn't stop himself: "Humph, you arrogant guy! What's so great about that! I'm better at playing with fire than him!"
Although he said this, Ika actually still had a little bit of respect for this cocky guy who could play elemental magic so fancy.
At this moment, Kira didn't notice the thoughts of the fanboy beside him, but just stared at the child on the roadside... and a familiar-looking woman behind him.
Urrutia!
Kira frowned, a little confused for a moment: "Why is she here? At this time, she should have returned to the devil's heart."
Since Urrutia appeared in the city of Hamus, would the other seven followers be here, or even... Hades, would he be here too?
She seemed to be... watching a magic show on the roadside? Was she interested in this?
Kira followed Urrutia's gaze and discovered the boy performing. He was immediately surprised and said, "Huh? Why does this kid look familiar?"
