A week passed by and the tournament came. Jill flew off the mountain with Tesra and arrived at Green Flower. The people looked up and saw the two in the sky. Jill was about to speak when someone attacked.

The attack was a fireball that heated the surroundings and made people felt intense heat. Before the fire ball could even land it slowly decreased in size until it disappeared.

Jill saw the attacker who was a mage and used wind force to carry them over to her. They struggled in her wind force but they couldn't move.

“Should I squish you or should I not? What do you think Tesra?”

Tesra stared at the mage and didn't know who they were. She detected malice from them with her magic necklace. She determined they were most likely the assassins sent after her.

“They are most likely the assassin sent after me.”

Jill knew about the assassins sent after Tesra. After Tesra father had died, her half-brother took over and tried to purge all his siblings. There was currently a civil war going on back in Tesra kingdom called Taroz.

Jill let go of the assassins and they fell to the ground. In a show of might, she made a tornado 300 meters in height. It rose from a distance of 400 meters away from the town.

Conjuring elements at that distance took a lot of mana but with her wind affinity, it was no problem. She set the tornado on fire and it looked dangerously hot. Trees and debris flew up into the tornado and burned.

Jill then made a giant ball of air 600 meters above the town. The giant ball of air was 100 meters in diameter. It too was also set on fire. The people looked at the ball of fire in awe and fear.

The fire tornado went towards the town and people thought they were going to die. They tried to move but they couldn't. The fire tornado hit the town and went up a wind barrier that Jill had made.

Soon the fire tornado was on top of the barrier. Jill then dropped the giant ball of fire. The giant ball of fire landed on the fire tornado and pressed down on it. Slowly the tornado decrease in height while the giant ball of fire grew bigger. Soon it was on top of the wind barrier. Jill then decreased its size to a diameter of 10 meters and spoke.

“Boom.”

The giant ball of fire exploded. There was not much noise since Jill blocked most of it it. The giant ball of fire was made of debris and other things so when it exploded it send shards of fire flying everywhere. The explosion lasted for at least 3 seconds and then stopped.

Jill then made every human being float up from the ground into the sky. They saw that the surrounding was fully devastated. The land looked black while burning. Everywhere they looked within a diameter of 1000 meters everything was destroyed.

They looked at Jill in fear and some awe. Tesra too looked at Jill in fear with awe. Jill pointed a finger in the sky and made swirled it. Rain started to fall around the area. After most of the ground was cooled down Jill reinforced her body with mana and flew within the diameter of the destruction.

Everywhere she flew the ground would be flattened smoothly and houses would rise. The river by the town was fixed with a new bridge. Under the ground, sewage was formed. After making houses rise everywhere, Jill made a wall rose around what was now a city 1000 meter in diameter. The wall was 30 meters in height with stairs and four gates.

Everyone looked in awe at what Jill did. They had never seen mages do these things. Jill flew outside the city and made farmland with life sprouting everywhere. After she was done she came back and spoke while placing everyone down.

“If you have the balls to try the shit you did again then please go ahead and try it. Also, I have decided to reward everyone in this city with a house and farmland because I felt like flexing my powers a bit. Anyway, let's begin the tournament. Participant, please raise your hand.”

Everyone had different emotions looking at Jill. Some fear, some awe, some hope, and others. Soon hands started raising but there wasn't much hand raise. Jill saw what they were thinking and spoke.

“Being weak doesn't mean you can't participate in this tournament. I am not going to just have people fight each other. There are other parts of tournaments like intelligence, skills, talent, and other stuff.”

When people heard what Jill said, more started raising their hands. After a while, Jill didn't see any more hands raised. She floated the people who raised their hand to the side in the air. Looking down at the ground of the people who didn't participate which was half the population Jill decided she might have to increase the size of the coliseum.

Currently, the town or city now had a population of 100,000 people because of all the immigrants. Jill knew there would be more people coming to this city because of the goblin invasion and she would have to expand the coliseum and city.

One thing about mana was that unless one used all of it sometimes, one would feel stiff and full. To explain would be like this. Imagine having to take a never mind, let's say you've been pregnant for a few months and already want that also never mind. You are carrying a bucket of water for a year and just want to dump it out so you can feel light again.

Jill was currently trying to waste all of her mana so that she could feel refresh. Being refresh made her collect mana better while getting rid of the low-quality mana she has had stored over the years.

There's also another reason she was helping this city grow. A new mission came up which was to grow the town and the reward was more sword techniques.

“To those of you who want to watch the tournament raise your hand.”

A bunch of hands raised and Jill flew towards the coliseum. She placed the spectators in their seats and the participant in the arena.

“Alright now, I gotta cut down on some numbers.”

The participants gulped.

“Here's a question, what would win? A white sharp or a long lizard? Those who answer white sharp move to the right side and those who answer long lizard move to the left. Some of you might not know what these two creatures are or what they do so it all depends on your luck.”

The participants shifted around with more than half choosing the white sharp. After everyone was done picking Jill spoke.

“Some of you might think the white sharp hide cannot be pierced by the long lizard claws or poisonous teeth but you shouldn't forget that the long lizard is a constrictor with acid that restricts movement.”

Jill made the ground rose into a dirt white sharp and a dirt long lizard. The white sharp charged towards the long lizard while the long lizard spits acid.

The acid lands on the white sharp face blinding its sight. The long lizard moves out of the white sharp charge and the white sharp tried to find its opponent but it couldn't. It could only stay still and listened to movement.

The long lizard saw what it was thinking and proceeded to spit more acid at it. Soon the white sharp was covered in more acid while struggling to move. The long lizard came to it and started constricting it. Soon after a while the white sharp quit struggling and died. The participants who lost were floated out of the arena.

“On to the next question. What would win? A white talon or a white sharp?”

Questions after questions came and more participants were kicked out. Soon the question did its job and only 1000 participants were left. Looking at the participants who felt like they survived a battle Jill smiled.

“We will now move on to the next stage where there are a lot of stages. You can skip most of the stages if you defeat this two slasher.”

From the ground rose a stone replica of the dirt slasher. Jill made it slash the ground sending dirts flying.

“Now then, if you wish to fight it raised your hand. Even if you come close to death I can heal you.”

Many people who looked like adventurers raised their hands and Jill made more replicas of the two slasher. The battle started and the participants charge at their two slasher. After the battle, many participants were kicked out since two slashers were very rare and not many lived to tell the tale after an encounter with them.

Jill looked at the participants left trying to find talent among them. She was going to keep the tournament going but decided it was best to start tomorrow since everyone seemed tired.

“Here are the 500 gold coins for every participant left. I hope to see you all tomorrow where the next part of the tournament starts. Also here are everyone's new free designated houses.”

Jill sent everyone flying out of the arena to their designated houses. After everything was done Jill took Tesra with her and went back to the log cabin to feed her baby white talon. While flying Jill spoke.

“Did you enjoy the tournament Tesra?”

“Yes, it was very entertaining.”

“What do you think I should do for tomorrow's tournament?”

Tesra became thoughtful and then spoke. “Something as fun as today.”

Jill nods and the two flew on.
