Beyond The Worlds

Maze

 The leaders of their respective nations looked at the giant screen expectantly.  Every leader had their confidence to win this tournament.

 Shin observed the labyrinth that looked simple, but it wasn't.  The Labyrinth modifies and changes passages every few minutes, making it difficult for participants to find the exit.  He also noticed that the Labyrinth used some illusions to confuse people.

 "This phase plans to eliminate most of the weaker players."  Looks like the  "Eye of Saturn" is smarter than he thought.  Shin had never seen a live artifact before, but he was very interested.  "Well, let's get out of here."  Despite all that, it was very easy for him to get out of the Labyrinth.

 *Sigh*

 'I can't do anything interesting at this stage.'  Shin sighed dejectedly.

 'I think I can get some battle experience in the 2nd phase.'  Shin wanted to get some experience before fighting the mission's final enemy.

 Mari looked at the seemingly endless passages.  She decided to try out what Shin told her before entering the Labyrinth.  "If it doesn't work, I can force it through using my fists."

 *ssghnn*

 Mari took a deep breath.  She was about to use her fundamental element, probability.  This element is extremely difficult to control because it is a very abstract element.  Mari has gained that element since she joined the group, but still couldn't use the basics.  She was trying to use probability to increase her chances of finding the way out, although she managed to get past the Labyrinth using her own strength, she knew Shin's method was also a form of training.

 'Focus on the result you need.  There are many possibilities, but which one do you want?'

 Mari remembered Shin's words.  She needed to focus on the possibility she craved.

 'I can.'

 Mari began to run aimlessly.

 -

 'Why is it so complicated?'

 A girl ran panting as she tried to find her way out.  Even though she was running through several different passages, she always ended up in the same place.  "What's going on? Is the Labyrinth changing?"

 "Looks like you're lost, little girl."  When the girl was thinking about how to get out of this place, a female voice spoke to her.  The girl was startled when she saw a woman appear in front of her.

 "H-hello."  The girl spoke unsteadily.  She didn't want to fight in this labyrinth, so she decided to be friendly with the woman who suddenly appeared.

 "You look similar to Tiana…"

 Airin had light blond hair.  Her eyes were green and she had a small body, but with very sharp curves.  Her face was very similar to Tiana's.

 "Do you know my mother?"  The girl was surprised when this woman spoke about her mother.  Her mother didn't have close friends because her social standing was very high.  'Maybe my mother met her on the island.'

 "Well… we're known. So what's your name?"

 "My name is Airin Homilion. I am the 1st princess of the Kingdom of the Elves, Sandarim. Nice to meet you."

 "It's nice to meet you. My name is Mari Sekiguchi."

 "Are you lost too, Miss Mari?"  Airin thought Mari was also lost in that Labyrinth.  "I'm not lost. I'll definitely find the way out."
