The Chronicles of the Stick Emperor 42 Chapter 42 - Magic Competition Part 1

After a few long minutes of agonizing screams, Jie Yao came out of the room, and said, "I've got the information. Some Loan Sharks, called us and demanded money, however we refused, so they hired so men to kidnap us, and force us to do... You get the idea."

"So what do we do with him?" asked Tang Yao while looking at the man who was scared shitless.

"Please no, more...." said the man softly.

"Let's just call the police." said Jie Yao.

"Alright then." replied Tang Yao.

Soon afterwards, the police arrived and took their statements, and took the man away.

The manager of the building also came, and offered them to completely replace all the windows, and fix the door.

The rest of the day, nothing too eventful happened, the repairmen came in and fixed their windows, while they cleaned up the mess in the house.

Before long it was time for the opening of the game again.

Tang Yao entered the capsule, and after a few moments, he was greeted with a familiar screen.

Tang Yao loaded into the game, and there he was next Gandalf still.

"Dip Stick, the magic competition will be starting soon, you can practice all you want on the carriage, but we must go now." said Gandalf.

"Okay," said Tang Yao before following Gandalf through the Wizard Guild, getting the Awe's of many players.

"Hey, look at that NPC's Tag" whispered a player.

Legendary Gandalf The Great - Level 999

HP ???/???

"Who is that player following behind him?" asked another player.

"Wait! That's Dip Stick the player 1st on the leader board!" shouted another player.

Before long there was a huge crowd of players watching Tang Yao and Gandalf walk towards the carriage, and many players, or fans were shouting.

"Carry me Master!"

"Bring me along!"

"Are you single?"

While other players were saying:

"What's so great about him?"

"I can beat you up with my eyes closed IRL!"

"Hacker!"

"..."

'These players, how did they even recognized me?' thought Tang Yao, while looking at the players surrounding him.

After what felt like an eternity, they finally got on the carriage, however unexpectedly, there was a huge amount of players following the carriage from behind.

"..."

"Drive faster!" said Gandalf.

"Yes sir!" replied the driver, who whipped the reigns on the horses, to travel faster.

"Too slow..." mumbled Tang Yao as he saw the carriage speed up.

"Too slow?" questioned Gandalf.

"Ah, yes, it is a bit slow." replied Tang Yao.

"Just deal with it, we aren't in a rush, otherwise, I would of chosen to fly instead of ride on the carriage. But, shouldn't you be practicing how to control your Qi?" asked Gandalf.

"Yes, sir..." said Tang Yao dejectedly, he already spent quite a bit of time yesterday trying to control his Qi, but it was very difficult.

The driver who turned around and felt a huge amount of heat, and energy radiating for a tiny Fireball, was shocked and anxious.

After several hours of practicing, Tang Yao was finally able to get the amount of Qi within his fireball to under 50,000.

"Almost there, just a little bit more!" said Tang Yao, while trying to limit his Qi as much as possible.

A few more hours had passed, and Tang Yao was able to limit his Qi to under 10,000.

However, they had already arrived at their destination.

As soon as Gandalf and Tang Yao, got off the carriage, the driver immediately drove away.

They were in front of a huge stadium with the words, "Magic Competition!" on it. It looked similar to the Superbowl, there was a huge line of people at the ticket counter, trying to get a ticket to get inside.

"Follow me." said Gandalf, while leading Tang Yao towards the entrance.

As they approached the door a guard, stopped them, and was about to ask them something, when he saw Gandalf's face.

"You may pass." said the guard quickly.

Tang Yao just followed Gandalf, he was lead to a large room that looked like a gym.

"This is the waiting area, you can practice your magic here, while you wait for your name to get called up." said Gandalf, "There is still an hour before the competition starts, and I've already looked at the Tourney sheets, you should be the 75th match."

"Oh... How many matches are there today?" asked Tang Yao

"Well technically, there are 100 fights that happen simultaneously, and then after that would be the 2nd match, and another hundred competitors would join that. There are 100 matches each day, or 10,000 fights. Also each fight is 2 out of 3, so you would need to win a match twice, to win." said Gandalf.

"Oh okay," replied Tang Yao before going back to practicing his magic.

Soon he heard the announcements, indicating the start of the competition.

Around half way through the competition, like match 53, Tang Yao had finally been able to get less then 1000 Qi in his fireball, he also heard a system announcement.

"That was unexpected." said Tang Yao.
