My Space-Time System

Chapter 428: Brian’s fear of heights.

At the survival stage of the regional competition, the eastern magic school was sitting comfortably at the top with 13 and a half points. That was an outrageous 9-and-a-half-point gap between them and the capital magic school which was in 2nd place with only 4 points.

At this point, it was safe to say that the eastern magic school was already the winner of the competition, but no one was sure yet because the events and points for each round were random.

Unknown to Blake his team’s flawless victory against the other regions was the last straw that broke the camel’s back.

This time, the top-ranking nobles had decided that by all means, Blake isn’t to return to the arena.

Since Blake doesn’t plan on going out of the golden seal hotel, they would have to force him out.

...

With smiles on their faces, Blake and his team were warped back to the golden seal hotel. Blake freshened up before joining his friends for lunch.

.....

After they were done, they told Blake that they were going out again to tour the city. To be precise, they were going to visit Tarius amusement park.

Blake was tempted to see what the amusement park of this world would look like, but it was not tempting enough to put his life at risk.

So he decided to return to his room and continue meditation, even though he knew he would most likely not experience a breakthrough that day.

...

Using the teleporter on the 77th floor, Luciano and the group quickly made their way out of the golden seal hotel and boarded 2 carriages that took them to the Capital’s amusement park.

The golden seal hotel was located on the outskirt of the central region of the capital. This was to give everyone the feeling that the six-star hotel was open to all, but the sad truth was that it was quite pricey even for lesser nobles.

The streets of the capital were more than twice as bustling as that of Calton city, but even at that, traffic was more organized thanks to the use of traffic lights.

Unlike the mid-region of Calton city where most of the buildings were under 4 stories, the average buildings of the empire were 5 stories.

20 minutes away from the amusement park, they could already see a large Ferris wheel and rollercoasters.

‘When they were talking about an amusement park I thought it would something basic, but I had no idea it would be better than most amusement parks on earth!’

Castiel and Brian were astonished by the Ferris wheel that was almost the same height as the Dubai eye.

Their carriage stopped in front of the yellow gate that had a large burning sign at the top. “Blazing Park’ was written on it.

“There are a lot more people than I expected.” Brian said.

He was thinking that since the amusement park looked so beautiful, the nobles would want to take over. To their surprise, there were no nobles in sight.

“The Blazing Park was built for everyone, especially the normal citizens. The admission fees were made affordable for normal citizens, leading to the daily influx of commoners.”

“The problem with this is that most nobles don’t like being around commoners, let alone hundreds of them. That is why you will rarely see any of them there.” Luciano explained

“Finally commoners have something they could enjoy in peace.” Tessie said.

“How can they miss out on so much fun because of pride and prejudice?” Brian snorted as they walked forward.

Luciano would have loved to mention to them that the nobles weren’t missing out on anything. As a matter of fact, they were having more fun with their wealth, but he decided to keep this to himself.

Just after the gate was ticket stands, and after purchasing one for everyone, Luciano led them into the amusement park.

The Blazing Park had a single large road with junctions leading to the different rides in the park.

“What ride do you guys want to get on?” Luciano asked after they got buckets of popcorn and some sweets.

“That one!” Everyone except Brian simultaneously pointed at the gigantic Ferris wheel at the center of the park.

“You don’t want to ride the Blazing wheel?” Luciano asked Brian.

“Nah.” Brian said in a tense tone. “As for what ride I would pick, I haven’t made up my mind and I would like to see the other rides.”

“Alright then let’s hook them up and then find a ride you like.” Luciano said to Brian.

The Blazing wheel was 200 meters tall and 250 meters wide. The cabins were elliptical with flames painted on them.

Inside the cabin were 3 white leather seats on each side equipped with seatbelts. At the center was a white table with contraptions like cup holders to hold whatever the passengers had with them.

“Why does this feel more like a rollercoaster instead of a Ferris wheel?” Brian gulped as he asked Luciano.

“Because it is.” Luciano said as he waved at the 4 to board one of the cabins.

“The Blazing wheel is slow until it gets to the top, then it suddenly drops at an astonishing speed and returns to the top.”

“It completes a slow revolution, but when it returns to the top, the same things happen again.” Luciano explained as they made their way to a different section of the park.

“The ride lasts for 30 minutes so we have enough time for you to try out other things.” Luciano said.

“What do you suggest?” Brian asked.

“Since you are afraid of heights, I suggest you go for something grounded like a carousel. From there we can go for the blazing carts.” Luciano suggested.

“Wait a minute! How the hell did you know that I am scared of heights?” Brian asked.
