Winner!! Shu Hellgard!!

" Hey Alice "

Shu whispered as he stood in front of a monster's corpse, looking down at it with wide-opened eyes

" Y-yes master? "

Alice replied as she stared at Shu from afar

" Do you know... "

Shu said as he turned to look at her, his eyes glowing a bright blue, while his white-haired covered them

" Where the strong monsters are at? "

He questioned, as blood began to drip from his hands, behind him was a pile, no an entire village of monsters, dead, so many that they were stacked above one another, the blood from the pile of monsters gathered together, making a giant pool of that red disgusting liquid.

As Alice stared at Shu, a small trembling feeling crawled up her spine, making her shake a bit as her eyes widened, staring at the small-looking Shu in awe.

Despite his small figure, his white pure looking hair, his beautiful and blue pure looking eyes, his innocent and welcoming expression, the feeling of terror would crawl from his words alone

" Strong monsters?.. "

She replied with a bit of hesitation in her words, somewhat afraid of Shu, despite killing so many he didn't seem bothered by it, he seemed like he could care less for their deaths as if stepping upon a bug. That simple fact, made her fear him, but that feeling would soon disappear as Shu's words made her come to her senses

" Yeah, you know, very strong monsters, like big and bulky monsters, scary monsters "

He replied while waving his bloody hands around, attempting to shape a strong monster with the movements of his hands, like a child trying to explain what the meaning of a word is

" A very strong monster? "

She questioned, as all Shu did in return was nod his head

" Well...You see master, you've killed all the monsters I know about, and they were pretty strong too, so it's kind of save to say, that you've killed all the scary monsters... "

Alice explained, her voice, once again sounding hesitant, afraid of what Shu would do to her if her response wasn't to his liking, but to her surprise, nothing really happened

" Really? Well that's a bummer "

Shu replied with a small sigh of disappointment, before turning around to look back at all the monsters he had just killed

" Um, master "

Alice whispered, now a bit calmer about Shu's presence

" Yes? "

He questioned, as he turned around, waving his hands full of blood around

" Here "

She replied as she handed him a handkerchief

" Uh, what's this for? "

Shu questioned, as he grabbed the handkerchief from her hands, filling aside with the blood on his hands

" To clean yourself "

She answered, with a small blush as Shu simply tilted his head, proceeding to smile a few seconds later

" Thanks "

He replied, before using the handkerchief to clean the blood away from his hands, of course, the smell still tainted his hands but, at least blood won't be dripping from them.

" Here "

Shu said as he handed her the now dirty handkerchief, she, of course, didn't hesitate to grab it, dirtying her hands with blood

" We should head out now master, there's no need for us to stick around here anymore "

Alice suggested as she then began to walk away, heading over to what seemed to be an exit.

Taking a quick glance at the corpses he piled up, he would proceed to follow right behind her

" You guys done? "

Galahad questioned as he watched both Alice and Shu walking out of the exit from afar

" Yeah we're done, about to head back to base "

Alice replied as she waved her hand at Galahad, who sighed in relief

" I was actually expecting you guys to last a little longer in there, but, I guess with Shu around, speeding through an army of monsters becomes possible "

Galahad said as Alice and Shu walked by him, as he soon followed along

" Alice, I have a question "

Shu said as he stared at the ceiling, walking forward with his hands behind his head

" Yes? "

She replied as she turned to look at him

" Is there anything else this maze can offer? "

Shu questioned as his eyes rolled to the corners of his sclera, staring at Alice with a look of curiosity

" No, not really "

She replied, tilting her head to a side, unsure as to why her master was asking her that question

" Then it's about time we'd finish this annoying mini-game "

Shu suggested as Alice's calm expression turned into one of amazement, whilst Galahad's into one of disbelief

" Wh-what do you mean by that? "

Galahad questioned as Shu simply smiled at him

" Well, the walls of this maze reek of sanctuary energy, meaning that this place was made with sanctuary energy, and the only place that I don't feel any energy at is a place in which the walls are separated, and beyond that separation is the feeling of nothingness, so, I've come to the conclusion that that is the exit "

Shu explained with simplicity as all Galahad could do was sigh

" That's a good assumption master, but, how do you know that these walls were made with sanctuary energy? "

Alice questioned, as all Shu could do was inhale, it was quite difficult for him to explain how he knew the properties of the walls

" I guess—-I can just sense where Sanctuary Energy is at "

He replied as Alice stared at him with a small smile on her face

" Oh, so you're ability allows you to sense sanctuary energy? That's very handy, with something like that, no one would be able to sneak up on you and stuff, it's a pretty useful ability master "

Alice said, in an attempt to compliment her master

" I don't think that's an 'ability' per se, me and Shu talked about it before and he told me it was some sort of Energy control "

" Energy control? But in the academy we're taught that the maximum level of control is Enhance, are you insinuating that master has reached an even higher level than that? "

Alice questioned as she raised an eyebrow, somewhat doubtful of his words

" Well I mean, according to him, that's how it is, of course, have my doubts as well but, considering how strong this guy is, all you can do is take his word for it "

Galahad replied, making Alice think for a few seconds, but before they could continue their conversation, they were interrupted by Shu

" Well, I'm leaving, but before I leave, promise me you guys will pass the upcoming mini-games, I want to meet you both at the tournament, I want to have an exciting and fun match with both of you, so don't let me down "

Shu said as he tapped the tip of his shoe against the ground, almost as if adapting to himself

" Wait wha-"

They both said in unity, but before their sentence could finish, Shu had disappeared in a blur of speed, leaving nothing but a burst of wind, and right when he disappeared, a loud voice was heard across the entire maze

" It looks like we have ourselves a winner!! And his name is Shu Hellgard!!"
