Chapter 562 - Turbo Jet
"This..." Elysia was dumbfounded to see what was before her eyes. "It\'s just like an amusement park."
"Amusement park? Yup, this adrenaline test can be considered as a place to entertain visitors with many rides." Sylvia nodded in agreement with Elysia\'s opinion.
"I wonder what kind of rides are presented. This place is literally called Adrenaline Test." Yuuki looked back to look at the large archway of the entrance.
"Woah... Underground amusement park, hmm? Sylvia, you become the guide and take us around and to the rides that you think are the most interesting." Elena rested her cheek against her hand as she felt drawn to some of the mysterious rides in there.
"Sure, allow me to guide everyone. First of all, let\'s go to the turbo jet. It\'s one to visit first to avoid the annoying queues." Sylvia put her hand on her upper chest with joy.
"Turbo jet?" Elysia looked at Elena as she felt the name somewhat resembled a particular roller coaster on Earth. Unfortunately, the latter only responded with a smile.
With Sylvia guiding the group, they all went to a ride with the longest queue.
"Uhm, are you sure you want to get on this ride first? Look at the queue." Lynn felt overwhelmed for several reasons. But, she was worried if anyone was sleepy because it was already night.
"Hehe, don\'t worry. We came as VIPs and we are the priority here. Let\'s go to the entrance gate over there." Sylvia pointed to a closed gate.
The girls looked at each other somewhat confusedly, but they decided to trust Sylvia and went there together.
"Hey, what\'s that group doing over there? The queue is over here, right?" The random devil pointed at the group heading towards the closed gate.
"Shh! Pretend you don\'t see them. It\'s a VIP line for executives and people with authority." The random kind devil lowered his friend\'s hand to not point at the group of executives.
"Hou..." The random devil folded his arms and nodded in understanding. The gatekeeper opened after the group showed something to a nearby gatekeeper.
"Sylvi, is this turbo jet something like a high-speed train traveling on specially designed rails?" Elysia tried to ask as they were walking down the hall.
"Yeah, I\'m kind of surprised you already know, Ely." Sylvia blinked her eyes a few times. She just shrugged her shoulders because she remembered this her friend was no ordinary human.
"Welcome to the turbo jet ride, one that will test your adrenaline levels to new heights by pushing the limits-" The horned steward dressed in all black greeted warmly.
"Wha! You surprised me. Why are you standing in the shadows like that. I thought there was no one on duty here." Sylvia jumped in surprise as the sudden greeting came from behind her.
"VIP lanes will always be guarded with care, miss. Well, before you board and feel the sensation of the incredible turbo jet, please be aware of the terms and conditions before you board this ride for the common good. Whether you qualify or not." The horned steward pointed his palm at the terms and conditions board near the entrance.
"Oh, right!" Sylvia dropped her fist onto her open palm. She just remembered that not everyone was allowed to enjoy this ride.
"Let\'s see..." Sylvia patted her chin while looking at the board, and so did the others.
"Oh no. A person with excessive panic that can harm others is strictly prohibited from boarding a turbo jet. A person under one hundred and forty centimeters tall or weighing over one hundred and twenty kilograms is also not allowed. The use of magic in the rides is prohibited to reduce the risk and increase the fun. Then, then--" Sylvia looked at each and every individual in the group.
"Hmm... Very unfortunate, little one. You need to wait for us here with the other little ones." Elena grinned at Nell.
"Well, it doesn\'t really matter to me." Nell shrugged her shoulders in response as if she didn\'t really care.
"Uhm, sorry, Yuuki. You can\'t come with us on this ride. You might freeze everything." Sylvia felt a little sorry for Yuuki, and that was a pity. Her original intention was to see this snow fox girl scream due to the adrenaline rush, but that didn\'t seem possible.
"Hmph! It\'s not like I really want to ride this turbo jet or anything." Yuuki snorted and folded her arms as she looked to the side.
"If you understand, please come here to measure your height." The horned steward pointed at the gate.
There was something like a large ruler to measure the visitor\'s height. Sylvia was the first to be measured even though she knew she would pass.
"Okay, you pass. Next." The horned steward invited Sylvia to pass through the gate.
Then it was the girls\' turn. Yet, by the time Rhea\'s turn, her height was less than one centimeter than the minimum height.
"Hmm?" Seeing that, Rhea tiptoed a bit without anyone noticing.
"Okay, you are on the threshold but you pass." The horned steward scratched his head.
Dylan, Oceanid, and Sophia clearly passed. So, the only ones unable to join were Yuuki, Nell, the little beasts, and Oceanid\'s avatar.
A sinister-looking black roller coaster awaits those who would ride the turbojet.
"..." Elysia looked left and right somewhat nervously. After all, this was his first experience riding a roller coaster. She was now flanked by Elena and Sylvia, a row of three people.
"Hehe, are you scared, Ely? It\'s a bit not like you. You see that dark passage over there? Yes, we\'ll go through that and a paradise will arrive after we go through it." Sylvia pulled the safety on her seat and fastened the hook. She then helped Elysia to install the safety device.
"Oh, um, thanks. I\'m not scared. It\'s my first time riding something like this. That\'s all." Elysia made sure the safety device had correctly locked her body in the seat. After that, she checked Elena\'s, but the latter was already in a state of readiness.
"Hm, all the safety devices are installed perfectly." After checking that all the passengers were seated with the safety gear in place, the horned steward announced.
After that, he went to a control box. "The turbo jet is about to launch. Please prepare yourselves. Three... Two... One... Welcome to hell!"
*Grak*
The turbojet was moving forward slowly, but its speed was gradually increasing.
"Hum-mm~ This is going to be fun. We\'re going to dive down to the bottom!" Elena rubbed her hands together. She rummaged Elysia\'s Space Bag to retrieve the Memoire.
"Hmm?" Elysia just let Elena disguise that camera in invisibility. It then floated in front of them, ready to take some pictures.
\'This will be a rare memory. I need to capture it in pictures. Everyone will be photographed if I put it here.\' Elena smiled at Elysia as the camera was placed in front of the turbojet.
"We\'re in the very front of the carriage..." Elysia gulped her saliva as the turbojet entered the dark alley and made several turns.
After that, it was as if they got onto different tracks, and their speed suddenly increased drastically.
"Wow!" Elysia screamed reflexively because the turbojet suddenly shot down vertically.
"Hahaha! We\'re getting into the earth\'s crust!?" Elena laughed happily and let the Memoire take some pictures.
"Aaah!" Some girls shouted along as the turbojet made its way down the winding rail tracks, twisting, going up and down.
"Hahaha! Raise hand!" Sylvia caught Elysia\'s hand and raised her hand up.
"Sylvi, Sylvi, I\'m going to fall! I\'m going to fall! I need to hold on." Elysia paled slightly from panicking.
"No need to worry, we won\'t fall into the artificial lava down there. This speed is still nothing compared to our usual flight speed, waaaa!" Sylvia then also shouted like the girls behind her, but that was because of her excitement.
"We were flying in a straight line, but this is different- Hiii!" Elysia paled more and more when her right hand was also lifted by Elena.
"Towards infinity and beyond!" Elena was feeling very happy.
After fifteen minutes traveling at over two hundred kilometers per hour, the black turbo jet returned to its starting station. The safety device\'s lock opened by itself and lifted up.
"..." Elysia was silent. She felt caught between conscious and unconscious state.
"What\'s the matter, Ely. Let\'s go. Do you want to ride the turbo jet one more time?" Sylvia had just come down, but she felt something was wrong with Elysia.
"!!!" Elysia flinched a little because she didn\'t want to ride something like this again. She was feeling a bit nauseous now.
However, just as she was about to stand up, her legs refused to move. "Eh?"
Elysia tried to move her legs a few times, but it was no use. Her legs were shaking a bit, and so were her hands.
"Give me your hand, I\'ll help you." Elena reached out her hand for help. She couldn\'t bear to see Elysia so pale and trembling.
Elysia didn\'t reply with anything, but she immediately grabbed Elena\'s warm hand with her trembling hand.
Elena helped Elysia get out of the turbojet and wrapped her arm around Elysia\'s waist. She let Elysia lean on her because she knew Elysia was having a bit of trouble standing up. Even so, she immediately helped relieve the after-effect with magic.
"Hm, looks like the adrenaline rush was too much for you and some girls. Three girls can\'t proceed to the next ride. Let\'s rest somewhere first." Elena heaved a subtle sigh when she saw Ella and Evelyn being helped by the two fox girls.
"Mm..." Elysia nodded slightly. After that, she was guided to sit on one of the benches. She drank mineral water and began to neutralize the turmoil within her.
"Are you feeling better?" Elena asked as she looked at Elysia\'s face.
"Mm, I already feel alive again." Elysia nodded and looked at the two girls beside her. Ella and Evelyn are getting help from Nell.
"Well, this turbo jet is quite extreme for an innocent girl like you guys. Maybe you\'ll get used to it if you ride this turbo jet a few more times?" Nell smiled in amusement. She was rather happy that she didn\'t come on board.
Ella and Evelyn shook their heads frantically. They replied with a solid refusal to ride such a thing again.
"Well then, for the next ride, let\'s just take a mild ones." Sylvia scratched her head because she felt half-responsible.
After that, they went to enjoy their time to ride on some of the other light rides until finally, it was their time to return because it was getting late.
