As the Sun-Ring Wizard host explained the rules of the competition, a burst of Magic Pressure that did not belong to this world was released above the Silent Throne. This Magic Pressure was probably at the level of the Third Ring, and it instantly enveloped the entire viewing area.
Locke looked around, sensing the changes in the World Power. "It's not only foreign Magic Pressure. There's also a special Plane Principle lingering in the air. In other words, this place is temporarily no longer the Wizarding World."
"This is the area influenced by the World Principle of the medium-sized plane locked onto by the Silent Throne—the Silent Plane."
The Sun-Ring Wizard host said, "Thanks to the sponsorship of the ten major shops of the Cloud Marsh Wetland Shop Alliance, thanks to the sponsorship of the four Academies, and thanks to the sponsorship of Silent Witch: Truth."
"Now, I declare the twenty-first Silent Grail Competition officially underway. The four contestants and eight assistants, please ascend the Throne."
"During the competition, the viewing area will temporarily exist at the Boundary between the Wizarding World and the Silent Plane. We'll be able to witness a thrilling Great Magic Modeling Competition."
The Silent Throne shot down twelve Heaven's Ladder steps. Wizard Edgar stepped onto them first without the slightest hesitation.
Locke came next, followed by Wizard Smith, then Witch Georgina, and then the other Wizards.
For the sake of this competition, the Magic Pressure of each of the four contestants had already reached its limit, after which they had forcibly entered the Soul Decline Period. Their souls had then declined to the limit.
Their intelligence, reaction speed, and memory had all reached the weakest state of their lives since becoming First-Ring Wizards.
Their minds had also been affected by their excessive Magic Pressure. Gaps
