Chapter 132 Innate Ash-Slaying Holy Body Master and Disciple
"A swimsuit beauty pageant, that's a pretty constructive idea, but where are you planning to build that big swimming pool?"
"Outside the city, the Adventurers' Guild is willing to assist us in organizing this event. Many adventurers will help clear a space in the plains outside the city and dig a pool stage large enough to host the event!"
"Is the safety performance guaranteed?"
"With the help of adventurers from the guild, there shouldn't be any problems."
"The revenue generated by that activity..."
"Of course, taxes will be paid."
Upon hearing about the tax implications, Serena, who was in charge of the review, quickly stopped objecting and stamped the swimsuit beauty pageant proposal with the "Approved" mark.
"In addition, Ms. Serena, we hope to use the town management's channels to promote this competition to the town's residents."
"I'm afraid..."
"The tax rate on event revenue can be increased by two percentage points, and we would also like to cordially invite you to become one of the referees for our competition..."
At this point, Aqua leaned closer and lowered her voice, saying, "We can accept certain shady dealings, such as accepting bribes to give high scores."
[Hey, hey, hey, I'm a prosecutor in Axel. Is it really okay to talk about bribery in front of a prosecutor?]
Serena was not interested in being a referee, but hearing about the alleged behind-the-scenes manipulation changed her mind.
"I'm sorry, Miss Aqua, but for large-scale competitions like this, it's best to avoid any behind-the-scenes manipulation, otherwise it will hurt the feelings of the participating citizens."
Therefore, I agree to be a judge in your beauty pageant, but I will bring a torture bell to ensure the fairness of the event.
Aqua: "???"
With the swimsuit beauty pageant registration approved, a large number of adventurers sprang into action, beginning to excavate a sufficiently large competition venue outside the city.
It was at this time that Axel's adventurers finally witnessed firsthand the terrifying power of Broly, Miss Aqua's top disciple.
"Bang!"
Like a peculiar energy technique of explosive magic, it easily blasted a huge crater in the plain.
"Sri Lanka No. 1!"
Everyone was amazed at the huge crater that had been blasted open in an instant. However, using the crater directly was definitely not an option; some minor repairs were still needed.
While some adventurers were repairing and smoothing out the craters created by the explosions, Broly went with Aqua to learn how to build a spectator stand with bricks and stones.
"This master and apprentice pair are really capable!"
Broly possessed immense strength, and his speed in moving and laying bricks was greater and faster than all the other adventurers doing the same job combined.
Aqua can manipulate the moisture in cement. While others need to wait for the cement to dry completely after applying mortar to bricks, she can directly manipulate the moisture in the cement to evaporate.
When the two are combined, the effect is that the spectator stands are built at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Many adventurers could only look on in awe at the master and disciple duo, who possessed innate bricklaying and plastering bodies.
"I have no doubt that, given enough bricks and cement, this master and apprentice can build a new Axel in a short time!"
The other adventurers didn't need to get involved in the bricklaying and plastering; they took on the work of assisting Aqua and Broly, the master and apprentice pair, by mixing cement, for example.
About two days later, a large open-air arena capable of holding 10,000 people was built out of thin air on the plains. Except for the lack of a roof, it was already comparable to the arenas in some big cities.
"Water is generated!"
Meanwhile, the large pit that Broly had blasted out two days earlier had been repaired. The bottom of the pit had been burned with firewood for a day and then covered with waterproof bricks, making it safe to enter with water. A dozen adventurers with magic professions stood at the edge of the pit and used water-making magic.
"The pit is too big. At this rate of water release, it will probably take three days."
The bearded foreman in charge of the construction project stroked his beard and gave a predicted timeframe.
"Ha, no need for all that trouble, just watch me, water generation!"
After Aqua finished wiping away the last bit of ash, she came over and heard what the master builder said, and immediately used water-generating magic.
The same magic, which is a small stream in other people's hands, is like summoning a great flood in Aqua's hands.
"No, stop! It's full, it's full!"
In just a moment, the giant pit was filled.
The overflowing water washed everyone away.
"Sorry, I used a little too much force."
Once the excess water had receded, Aqua apologized to the others, who were soaking wet, like a child who had made a mistake.
"Thankfully, the newly built venue wasn't destroyed."
The master construction worker wiped his face and said with lingering fear.
"So Aqua has this kind of strength too?!"
Many adventurers only gained a clear understanding of Aqua's strength after nearly being swept away by the current.
As the goddess of water, Aqua can amplify even the most basic water-generating magic to the point of being almost as powerful as advanced magic.
"No, the way you're talking makes it sound like I didn't have any strength before!"
Upon hearing this, Aqua began to grumble in dissatisfaction.
"Isn't this something you said yourself, blaming your own disciple for his achievements?"
"Yeah, now I'm starting to doubt whether your previous self-disclosure was true, after all, you already have that kind of ability."
The adventurers started grumbling, suspecting that Aqua was lying in ambush, preparing to show off in front of everyone.
"No, no, no, my self-disclosure is true. Giant frogs can swim, and my ability to summon water currents is basically ineffective against them."
When Aqua explained, everyone realized that she was only very good at water magic, and was completely useless in other areas.
"The pool is full, and the venue is all set up. Master Aqua, when can the beauty pageant begin?"
Broly floated down from the sky and asked.
"Huh?!"
At this moment, everyone noticed him dangling in mid-air and were somewhat surprised.
The magic that allows people to fly has been rumored in this world, but not many people have actually seen it.
However, compared to a swimsuit beauty pageant, the rare flying magic is just a minor matter.
. . . .
Within three days, with the town authorities' publicity, the swimsuit beauty pageant had become the talk of the town of Axel.
In a world where large-scale events are rare, the citizens of Axel are eagerly anticipating the beauty pageant, with many itching to participate.
"No, isn't this a beauty pageant? Why are you excluding someone as beautiful as me?"
"Damn it, didn't you see the sign that it's for female participants only?"
"My biological sex is male, but my inner sex is female."
At the town's registration point, a man in a swimsuit who was male in appearance but female in mind was dragged away by town guards maintaining order.
"Ah, this is blasphemy against the goddess! How can you presume my true gender based on my mere biological sex?!"
The man being dragged away shouted in frustration.
"See that? Those are people from the Axis sect. Stay away from that sect from now on."
On the roadside, a young woman was educating the child beside her.
I almost forgot to add an extra chapter! Thank you to all the readers who gave me tips and voted for me last month.
