Simon: No one can hold a candle to this trick.
The half-elf stood chuckling to his own joke on a stage, in front of a couple of people who sat in the audience. The tip of his finger was lit up with a flame similar to a candle. Noticing no one was laughing or impressed, he blew the flame out.
Simon: How about this one? You people like the smell of fresh-cut grass?
Simon recites a spell as the room began to smell of freshly cut grass, a smile plastered his lips.
Simon: Smell that? It's fresh-cut grass.
Lady: My five-year-old can do that magic.
An unimpressed looking audience member spoke.
Simon: Yeah? But can he do this?
Simon once again recites a spell as he then becomes very blurry.
Heckler: Boo.
During this time Edgin, Holga and Y/N entered the building witnessing Simons rather disappointing act.
Y/N: Oh you smell that? He's done his freshly-cut grass act again.
Y/N: Spoke as he leant against the wall beside Egin.
Holga: Y/N was right he hasn't gotten better.
However Edgin noticed something she didn't.
Edgin: I don't think it's about what he's doing up there.
He nodded his head in the direction of a few audience members backs.
Simon: This quite hard to be slightly blurry like this, you know.
A floating ball of the audience members belongings floated behind them, stealing from them and they had no idea as they watched the worst show of their lives. Y/N witnessing what was happening shook his head, he could say something but that would cause quite the scene or a dead Simon, so he chose to not do anything.
Simon: Anyone can be very blurry, but to be slightly blurry, that's the real magic.
The floating ball of belongings got to the middle as Simon then noticed them standing by the door.
Simon: Is that...
Edgin smiled and waved, and Holga only smiled, Y/N on the other hand only raised a hand slightly. Simon noticing them caused him to lose focus and dropped the ball of expensive belongings onto the ground, making a loud clinging sound.
Audience member 1: What? What was...
Heads all turned in the direction of the sound as they all looked at what it was.
Audience member 2: Hey!
Audience member 1: He's nickin' our bits and bobs!
Simon: It's not what you think. It's all part of the act.
Simon spoke trying to quickly defuse the situation.
Audience member 1: He's lying!
Audience member 2: Get him!
The audience all stood up and charged at Simon, one was able to tackle Simon to the ground.
Simon: Shield spell!
Simon recites a spell but it isn't the one he was hoping for as everyone in the room began to float upwards, including the furniture. People hit the ceiling with a loud thud and grunts escaping from their mouths. Y/N being the only quick one was able react in time balanced himself on one the wooden support beams.
