G. Chapter 33
Hosa looked around. He saw Asi at a side in the waiting space outside the task building. There was another person with her. Her looks are quite similar to Asi. Hosa recognized her instantly. She is Asi's big sister.
[ Name: Ahi
Race: Normal Human
Stage Five Mortal Mage

Hosa quickly moved towards them.
"Hi.", Hosa greeted them with a faint smile.
Asi nodded in reply.
"Hello. I'm Hosa.", Hosa introduced himself to Asi's sister.
Ahi was surprised looking at Hosa. She didn't think the teammate her sister mentioned was such a good looking guy. Leaving that he didn't look like a body cultivator at all.
" Hello. I'm Ahi, Asi's sister.", Ahi replied in a soft voice.
" Aren't you going to wear any armour or other equipment?" Asi asked, narrowing her eyes.
" No need. You don't need to worry about that." Hosa shook his head in reply.
Asi frowned, then nodded.
" We need to go. It's about ten thirty. We need to enter the portal now. The competition will start at ten thirty-five. Let's move.", Asi urged and started to move towards the portal.
Hosa nodded and started following her.
After going through the portal they arrived in a vast open space. There are many students moving around in a hurry. There are many teams with mixed races.
" There. Level five portals are in that direction.", Asi pointed to her right. "Follow me."
There was a staff member near the level five portal. He is checking every student's details who are entering the competition. Non eligible students are not allowed to get close to the portal.
This time the task is different. Every year at the start of a new academic year, a competition is held at the end of the first week for two days. After a week most of the students would have arrived and a competition would be a good start for them. And the day after the competition, classes will also officially start.
Ten tasks are given for this competition. From level five to level nine, each level has two tasks given out. Students can choose to participate in one or both tasks. On the first day, the first five tasks of the different levels will start. The next five tasks will start the day after. There will be five winners at the end of the competition. One for each level.
During this competition there is a cultivation stage restriction. No cultivator above fifth stage can participate in the level five task.
Many teams or individuals will participate in the competition and compete to complete the given task before others could.
The task will take place in a large area. Competitors are teleported randomly. They have to find their way and complete the task.
Asi's team stood in line for confirmation of their details. Within a few moments their details were confirmed. The staff member looked at Hosa strangely. A stage two mortal body cultivator would have good chances in winning the competition by completing the Level four task. Generally a team mainly consisting of Body Cultivators or Weapon wielders have a greater chance of winning a competition in a stage restricted competition.
Even if there will be other stage four body cultivators or weapon wielders, Hosa has a better chance in a Level four task than in a Level five task.
Asi's team entered a large-scale teleportation formation. There are many teams in the Level five task area. Every time there will be more members participating in the Level four and Level five tasks because of the students from the new batch.
There are more than a hundred teams in the Teleportation formation and more than a thousand students are participating. But there will only be one team winning the competition.
The three of them held a token with a similar rune on them. This way when these teams are randomly teleported the members of the same team are not teleported far from each other.
When it was about to turn ten thirty-five, Hosa activated the second effect which is an active effect "Bells" from his ability, a great journey.
*Bell Chimes*
Asi's team was teleported when Hosa heard the first relaxing sound of the bell chime.
When Asi's team opened their eyes they found themselves in front of a huge rock with trees around them. Some low level stage beasts ran away with the sudden appearance of Asi's team.
*Bell Chimes*
Hosa felt relaxed hearing the second bell chime. He had no distracting thoughts. As per his own plan, he quickly chose a direction in his mind.
'North-east'
After she regained her senses, Asi immediately used a presence detection spell.
" I think we are teleported at a safe location. There seems to be no threatening creatures around", Asi said after searching with the presence detection spell.
"Okay", Ahi said.
"That's great.", Hosa said.
He didn't use the map function to search if there were any creatures that escaped Asi's presence detection spell. He is confident in his luck. He is even more confident when the Bells start to chime. His luck is already multiplied by the number of times the bell is going to chime.
*Bell Chimes*
Hosa felt his mind was clear and calm. He was super relaxed. He could feel the nature around him. He is enjoying it as the wind strokes his face.
"Sister, open the map and check where we arrived." Asi asked her sister.
Ahi opened the map on her watch. A map of this area was projected from the watch. She zoomed the map.
Asi sent a small drone into the sky. They started to compare the map with the visuals sent by the drone.
*Bell Chimes*
The bell chimed for the fourth time. His eyes turned slightly red. Tears formed in Hosa's eyes. Everything around him felt pleasant for Hosa. He started to feel sleepy with the soothing sound of the bell chimes. He opened his mouth and
*Yawn*
He yawned loudly.
Asi and Ahi were disturbed with Hosa yawning all of a sudden. They turned towards him.
[ The effects of Bells will be stopped. Host's luck becomes normal.]
[ Host can use the effect "Bells" again after a day.]
"Are you bored already ? We have just started the task!" Asi asked, furrowing her brows.
" Sorry. I didn't get enough sleep yesterday. With this relaxing environment I suddenly felt relaxed and sleepy. It won't happen next time.", Hosa said as he rubbed his teary eyes. Every time when the bells chime, he feels relaxed and at peace. He just wants to lay on the ground and enjoy this relaxed feeling.
Asi shook her head and continued to compare the map. Ahi smiled gently looking at Hosa, then turned her head to the map.
