BXBX NOVEL Chapter 77 Ring Of Vancouver
"The ring of Vancouver." Zilan rummaged inside the pocket of his coat a bit before taking out a pure marble white ring.
Jason couldn\'t help but wonder whether he was being handed a valuable item or not by the way Zilan had handled it.
Zilan handed over the ring to Jason who examined it curiously.
The ring looked a bit too big for any of his fingers yet Jason remembered how his coat could adjust itself to meet the requirements of his body.
Thinking about that, he slid the ring on his right index finger. The ring suddenly took the same shape as his finger.
The white metal ring felt cool on his finger, sending a relaxing sensation up his body. It didn\'t look as though it was something special.
\'Let\'s see what inspect has to say.\' Jason thought while using the inspect skill on the ring, followed by the opening of a system window.

< Ring of Vancouver >
— This ring is enchanted with invisible runes and a bit of space magic, allowing the user to store up to a hundred items inside, each less than 5 meter wide and 6 meter tall.
— Living things can\'t be stored inside the ring. Anything stored inside the ring will also not rot and remain in the exact same condition it was put in.
Currently stored items: 0 / 100
Secret ability: Upon inserting mana inside the ring, it can take the shape of a six inches long, weight-adjustable dagger.

Not only the ring served as an extremely useful object, it also turned out to be a life saving material.
"The prize for the runner up is a space ring capable of holding fifty items." Zilan announced as he handed Amber a dark blue ring with a few red carvings on it.
Though the ring looked cooler than the one Jason was wearing, it didn\'t seem to have the special dagger property he had.
Jason also observed that inspect worked on objects that he didn\'t own, which rose the question — what was the limit of his inspect skill?
Could he see the details of any magical thing or there was some sort of restriction that his skill had? One thing that Jason knew for sure was that inspect didn\'t work on normal items he used everyday.
\'Reminds me that I never used inspect on the coat.\' Jason suddenly remembered as he testingly used inspect on his coat.

\'That was anti-climatic.\' Noah thought with a sigh as Zilan handed the final prize.
Zeke got a ring similar to the one Amber had but that was only true for its outer appearance. His ring could only store up to twenty five items.
Items kept in his ring would also start rotting after a day which meant that he would have to constantly take edible things out and put them in again.
\'Maybe it doesn\'t work that way.\' Noah thought but didn\'t have time to think more about his theory.
"Now, to start the event between the fifteen years old. I would like to welcome the principals of the three academies again to bring their students out first!" Zilan suddenly announced.
Three halos appeared above the heads of the three children as Zilan sent them back to the glass back.
His gaze was fixated to the glass box as well as the three principals of the academies stepped out of the glass box in order to introduce the children participating from their side.
Angelica, the principal of PearlSea academy was the first one to introduce the participants from her academy.
"Liana Vancouver and Sasha Medron." She announced boldly as two water bubbles, each six feet wide, appeared on either of her sides.
A few seconds later, the bubbles popped, making two beautiful females appear right beside.
Both of them were wearing similar clothes to Angelica, blue shirts with dark blue overcoats and knee-length pleated skirts.
Jason wondered whether those sitting at the bottom were getting a heavenly look or not. He soon dismissed that thought knowing well that some kind of magic would definitely be used in such situations.
\'Though the real perverts will always try hard.\' Jason sighed while looking down to see numerous males as well as quite a number of females trying to get a good look under the skirts of the trio.
But just by staring there for a few seconds, they suddenly seemed to go blind and rub their eyes in pain which usually lated for a few seconds.
Then there were those who still didn\'t know the lesson and once again tried to look up, which ended up burning there eyes before knocking them out.
\'There all kinds of people in the world.\' Jason mused before settling down on his seat and looking at the two other principals introducing the participants from their academies.
Kulan, the principal of Wisteria academy went next. He looked extremely calm and he only took the names of his two participants.
"Azar Kikiko. Kaori Vancouver." He announced as two dark green vines shot out from his body.
The wines wrapped around the air beside him and formed a cocoon of sorts which was big enough to fit a person inside.
Jason already knew what would happen next as he turned his attention away from the arena and instead looked at the ring again.
"Grandma, do you know about this ring?" Jason suddenly inquired, making Risa shift her attention towards the ring.
"Its something special from the royal family. All children get that when they turn ten and hold it until they reach fifteen. Its not possible for anyone outside the royal family to get their hands on this, except those who won it here." She explained.
Jason looked at the ring in a new light as he took it off his finger and looked at it clearly. To think that a white metal ring was that rare.
\'I wonder how the dagger looks.\' Jason wondered silently before deciding to check the dagger form of the ring.
He controlled his mana a bit before sending it inside the ring through his right hand. The white metal on the ring suddenly illuminated as runes started appearing on its surface.
The runes looked as though they had been etched in fire, flaring the entire metal ring. The special effect lasted for about ten seconds before the ring suddenly expanded in Jason\'s hand.
It turned into a long six inches metal dagger. The blade looked as though it was made from steel while the hilt was made from a reddish metal.
The entire dagger didn\'t look anything special to the naked eye yet to make sure that he wasn\'t skipping anything, Jason used his inspect skill on the dagger.

< Dagger of Vancouver(replica) >
— A seemingly normal dagger made for quick attacks but has a hidden ability.
— The user can adjust the weight of the dagger by inserting their mana into it and thinking about the new weight.

Jason\'s eyes brightened in excitement as he now held his first weapon. Though it didn\'t have any flashy moves, it was still powerful enough for a child like him.
Jason then converted the dagger back into the ring and slid it onto his finger. He sat back with a relaxed expression just in time to see the last principal introduce his participants.
"I present before you the second prince of the kingdom, Hiro Vancouver as well as the daughter of our very own prime minister, Aysel Vancouver!"
