Zeeta and the Wizarding World
Zeeta and Azure

Right after Aurora took an entire week off from Alicia's artificial dimension, the queen immediately ordered her subordinates who had sworn allegiance to her— like the palace guards, the queen immediately ordered, as well as the kitchen maid and gardener to re-spread the message that now, Azure from the village of Lazuli has become his adopted son, and will become the royal family when the time of his coronation arrives.

Of course, Azure was impossible to use the power of the moon, or even just to wear the moon earrings. Even so, that didn't mean he wasn't strong enough to stand by Zeeta's side. Alicia and her small family have introduced Azure to the Levant. The twins Edward and Ella, who were still white from political matters, only accepted Azure with wide and sincere smiles.

But this is not the time to have fun. Aurora will face a bigger threat than ever before. Therefore, Ashley was currently kneeling before Alicia who was with her family in the throne room.

"You don't have to get these kids ready, Ashley," said Alicia, "tell me, what do you want to suggest?"

"I'm aware that I'm being disrespectful, but this is in order to save time, and I think you'll take this advice immediately" Ashley replied.

"Great.I've never seen a conversation like this.... Even so, I still do not want to have to be always formal like this..," inner Zeeta. She wears a knee-length frilly green toska dress with sparkling trinkets in her dress. Both of her hands were clad in white gloves, which on her wrists contained a strand of cloth in color with her dress. He tied his horse to his violet hair.

"That kid must be thinking about how troublesome it is to talk formally like that," Azure inner, smiled wryly. Azure wears a dusky blue dress that is also adorned with sparkling trinkets, the renditions are slightly longer than Zeeta's. Both dresses are arranged like brothers, similar but not the same. On his wrist, there was only a black bracelet, and his blue hair was bandaged.

"Let me guess. Showing the power of my two children in public, then recruiting anyone with potential, right?" sahut Alicia's.

Ashley showed her smile. "You're right, Your Majesty."

"Then it doesn't need to be delayed any more. Honey, you take care of this."

"Sure, I prepared." Hazell showed me a paper containing the names of the candidates. He smiled with confidence.

Alicia blinked her eyes while reading the contents of the paper. "Remove Albert from that list! Are you stupid? He deserves to be put in elimination, not a candidate!"

"But, we're short of people to look after the kids!"

"Hawahh...." Alicia sighed, then she massaged her forehead. "Your overprotective attitude is what upsets our balance of power!

"We have Luna and Eclipse, have you forgotten those two figures?!"

"Ma. sorry...." Even as king, Hazell was unable to stand up to his wife.

"Your Majesty!" shan Ashley, call the Queen's attention.

"What's up, Grand Duchess?" ask Alicia.

"I have an additional name to present in the semi-finals."

"Oh...?"

Meanwhile, Azure and Zeeta have absolutely no idea what these three adults are talking about.

After Ashley whispered what name she meant to Alicia, she went back to her knees, then Alicia gave orders to her two children. "My kids, Zeeta and Azure!" he exclaimed firmly, "you guys are ordering to train for the match right now. The venue will soon be prepared for the Grand Duchess. I want you to show the people how valuable the treasure is in this country!"

Zeeta and Azure blinked their eyes twice, then looked at each other.....

"EEEEEEHHH??!" scream them together.

......................

Mentari moved to the middle of the axis of the earth, while the people gathered on the overpass island that had just been made with the power of Ashley. The island is similar to the colosseum, where the spectator seats are arranged up, while the area is below. The arena was surrounded by protectors made with Luna— magic anticipating one of their powers to be too strong and avoiding any injuries from the spectators. Of the many people, even Axel who most of his time is always in his workshop, was present there along with his assistant, Myra.

Not spared from his presence, Aria and Ozy also present with a soaring spirit. They cheered each of its main stars—Azure and Zeeta—while waving. Of course, Arthur also watched with other Lazuli villagers. The royal families, including the Levant, as well as the main nobles, sat with the fox-fashioned Luna in a special place, a.k.a VIP, where they had a cool place from the sun.

The entire kingdom was initially shocked by the sudden announcement of their umpteenth queen. This time, he told them if he would show the strength of his children. He was very understanding, not only was Zeeta strong, even Azure was the same.

His goal of "showing off" this was to make it clear to his citizens, how strong their country was, all at once, he wanted to recruit a new team separate from the government forces or palace guards. This army will be aimed specifically to overcome the problems that arise because Zeeta is targeted by magical creatures, or maybe even from other kingdoms.

The participants are allowed from any layer. Even commoners, warriors, or nobles, all of them were allowed to take part in this impromptu tournament. As a condition of enrolling, they are not afraid to see the power that Zeeta and Azure will unleash, and continue to have a strong desire to protect Aurora, no matter what. King Hazell already had a list of candidates who deserved to be members of this new army, but if they were not able to carry out this main condition, then this army failed to be formed.

If any of the people are able to carry their fear, they will take part in the tournament, and they will pass three events. One; elimination, to be determined by the Commander of the Royal Forces, Albert Alexandrita alone. They'll fight Albert in a team manner. From these squads, it will continue to the second event, which is the direct semi-final, which will be determined by the "special guest". Then the last one, of course, the final will be determined by Zeeta, the center of the tournament's goals.

Only one is not allowed in this magic, which is killing. Sure oes.

It all sounds simple, but they don't know what they'll see on "the opening show" by these two princesses, not even the queen.

While the audience seats were filled with intense curiosity, Zeeta and Azure who were inside the participant room, were pledging pinkies.

"Please promise me, Zeeta," said Azure, thrusting his right pinky.

"W-what?" ask Zeeta. She's nervous.

"If you feel you have to use that seal, don't hesitate." Azure looked at Zeeta seriously. Zeeta could also feel the steadiness of her brother's eyes, but she was still afraid. He doesn't want to hurt anyone.

"The Elves you've threatened are almost extinct. We don't have time to think about fear!" connect Azure.

Zeeta clutched her hand. "Then Brother too! Don't hold back on me!" Zeeta thrusting her left pinky.

Azure smiled then hooked their pinkies.

"Show me the results of your training with the Grand Duchess!" azure Exclamation.

"Sister too! You're training with Luna, aren't you?" Zeeta replied with the same smile.

Then, after a few minutes of waiting, the tournament's opening event began.

......................

Each of the Azure and Zeeta, took a breath before acting.

Azure began his attack by stretching his right hand forward and spouting fire magic from under Zeeta's feet. Zeeta, barely able to escape it, teleported and then appeared above Azure, then shot out a sharp prism-shaped ice magic.

"Curtain!" Azure makes a ground shield on his right arm, then makes a spear from his left hand and immediately argues Zeeta.

"Gee!" The surprised Zeeta immediately dodged backwards, made a sword then broke his spear, took a roll pose, kicked Azure's head with his heel, then took some distance from him.

Azure grimaced in pain, then used her dark magic to heal her headache pain.

The people watching were shocked by Azure's abilities.

Immediately, Azure made the first move again. He stretched his right hand down, then spouted out a blue fire magic that spread to Zeeta. The size of the fire was so big that it made Zeeta go wide. It does the same thing with Azure, but it gives off water. The steam is hot as a result, forcing them to fly, and pitting their magic again.

Azure lunged at Zeeta while turning her left index finger. At the same time, the steam follows its index direction. Zeeta who sensed the danger, prepared a colorful magic grain on both of her palms. Azure, who immediately approached Zeeta, outwitted Zeeta by leaping, then pinned his left index finger. Zeeta managed to avoid the injury as her left hand moved upwards and her magic beads blocked the intangible sharp object from the Azure index finger. Zeeta took some distance from him.

"Great brother.... Besides being very fast, he is also good at using his magic.... Who would have thought that he would use that water vapor as a sword blade?!" Zeeta gasping.

"I thought it was from Zeeta.... He's not easily defeated. I have to get serious soon." Azure caught his breath again, then descended to the ground. He was followed by Zeeta.

Azure closed his eyes, then before long, a purplish dark aura enveloped him. He took out his Magic Book, then rode. Something rarely used to clean. Zeeta. He stretched his tensed body, then regulated his breathing. He also gave off his bluish-white aura.

When Zeeta winks and is ready to attack, Azure is in front of him and about to punch him.

"What-what?!" Zeeta deflected the blow with her right hand, then immediately responded to the attack with a punch of her left arm. A moment before the arm hit Azure, he felt his mana sucked. He took a distance from her and looked at her right hand. A part of the aura in his hand disappeared. "So so...?!" his inner. He's bluffing his teeth.

......................

"W-what happened? Why does Princess Zeeta look so panicked?" ask the people of A.

"Azure sucked up Zeeta's power with her dark magic" replied Aria, who was near them. He watched it with serious eyes. His forehead also looked sweaty. "I didn't expect these kids to be so strong!" his inner.

"Absorbing Princess Zeeta's power?!" people A are shocked.

"So, the Azure Princess can compensate him?" ask the people B.

"I don't know. They're both not serious!"

......................

"Then I just have to do the opposite!" The still-flying Zeeta removes some of his aura from his hands and feet. It then hit Azure.

Azure just put the body on the ground, and prepared to receive Zeeta's attack.

Zeeta lands both of her palms on Azure's stomach, but she soon grimaces in pain. His hands were exposed to the poison and continued to spread.

Azure grinned, but he was soon made to stumble because Zeeta was grinning along.

"Boom!"

Azure bounced to the protector and lay on the ground.

Zeeta healed her poisoned arm casually.

"Damn it.... Did you do it on purpose?!" groused Azure. He saw her black dress worn on the stomach and scratched her skin.

Zeeta smiled only five fingers and posed for peace.

"All right, then!" The Azure Magic Book shone purple then it puffed up purple smoke.

"Toxic again, is it?!" Zeeta immediately made a mask and coated it with healing magic.

So much smoke coming out, to blind the view of the audience, including Zeeta himself.

"W-what happened?" people are curious.

Suddenly, they heard Zeeta scream. "Aaaaagghhh!"

The scream was very shrill, making anyone understand the pain that Zeeta felt was not playing. The screams were heard several times to make them even more afraid and worried about Zeeta.

"Queen! Stop immediately!" the people screamed one vote, but were rejected with silence by the queen.

Then, the smoke immediately disappeared as the sound of the explosion appeared and made the shield from Luna to cause cracks.

"Daughter Zeeta!" shouted people.

Zeeta was made to bleed and fell to his knees. Head, arms, thighs to legs, injured from sharp objects and his body exposed to poison.

"It's okay!" zeeta shouted loudly. With blood still dripping, he stood up. "I'm fine!"

Zeeta coats her body with her aura again, then gathers the natural mana from under the island. Everywhere it quickly healed his wounds and poison, and he was ready to return. However, he was still panting. "Why ... Brother can be ... as strong as this...?" tanyakanya.

Azure's blue hair started to look purplish, and it was against the direction of gravity. His entire body contained a fiery red line, purple flames surrounded him, his eyes also shining red, making him look different and sinister.

Azure grinned. "Of course because—"

"REVENGE!"

A female voice sounded from the end of the barrier.

"G-Grand Duchess?!" Zeeta is shocked at who she sees.

"Zeeta, lookout!!" peekik Luna was very loud.

Zeeta who turned to Luna with reflexes, did not have time to avoid. He bounced until he broke through the barrier.

"A-Ashley?!" Alicia woke up from her VIP seat.

Suddenly, the clouds turned pitch-black.

"Who are you?!" Azure looks scared. He took a few steps back, sensing how threatening this woman before him was.

"Azure, run!" peeked Luna, who ran over, while making a barrier on the Ashley-shaped woman.

All the major nobles brought up his Magic Book, then immediately lunged at the woman at the same time.

His feet were shaking violently. He was fixated on the unconscious Zeeta for a moment in the middle of a puff of smoke. Azure was confused, should she run away or help her sister first?

"Where?

"Where is it right?

"Run?

"Saved her?

"Run...? Ya—NO!

"Fight! Fight him!"

"YAHOO!!!" Azure gathers her purple flames and attacks Ashley with her. He immediately ran to Zeeta, removed his aura and was about to carry Zeeta.

But....

'FWASHH!!'

The gale of wind struck everyone, even breaking the barrier of Luna with ease.

The figure behind the woman showed herself. Everyone who saw him was shocked at the one thing on him, the moon earrings.

Alicia who realized the danger that was arising immediately soared to the highest level, immediately moved all her people to her artificial dimension, including Zeeta and Azure.

"Hoo? Nice move, Queen," praised the woman grinning, who was none other than Lucy.

"Who are you?! Where's Grand Duchess Ashley?!" shout Hellenia. He tried to fight his fear

"Kufeng.... Ahhaha!" his laughter was so jarring. "Don't joke! Of course you know from these earrings, right?" Lucy flicked her earrings.

"Beware everyone! He was the culprit who almost annihilated the Elves!" Alicia looked shaky.

"W-what...?" Everyone there was sweating coldly.

"Do you want to avenge us, Princess of the Eleventh Aurora...?"

Lucy grinned....
