" And she was crying for like months when you died, and she threatened all of us if we left the floor with trying to search for you, but Lero Ro had already announced you and Bam missing." Khun explained what happened faster the second floor test.

" Oh..." I replied as I watched Yui training her shinsu control.

"... are you going to tell me about you and your...daughter?" Khun asked.

" She's adopted, her mother.... didn't make it." I replied.

" Oh..."

" Khun. My team will be leaving today. "

" I see. And I'm sure I won't be able to convince you correctly?"

" Hm." I nodded.

" There's something I need at the workshop." I replied.

" Are you really going to leave me with...these people?"

I looked at the Violes team. They were weak and unskilled, but...

" They have potential Khun. They need growth. And with your leadership, I'm sure they'll grow tremendously." I smiled.

" Have faith. For bam." I tapped his shoulder and left the area to prepare for the workshop battle.

" Oh... and before I forget. Here, it's for your teammates. It's a healing potion." I tossed two potions to Khun.

" ...thanks."

A few hours later...

Bleep!

" Dad! We've been qualified for the workshop battle!" Yui shouted in excitement.

" Sigh, do you really want to participate?" I looked at Yui, who nodded.

" Sigh, alright. We'll participate then." I replied as I looked at seung, who nodded.

" Take us to the workshop."

He nodded as we all followed him.

" You are spoiling her." Arie spoke as she walked next to me.

" Uh huh. And I will continue to do so." I replied.

" So, about the ride..." Yui asked.

" We have to steal one." I answered.

" Eh? From who!?"

" FUG, of course. Specifically... Karaka's." I smiled as everyone looked at me with annoyance.

A few hours later...

" Drive! Drive! Drive!" I shouted at Seung, who started the floating car thing.

" Shut it..." he whispered as he started the car, and we started floating to the 30th floor.

I looked back to see Karaka looking at us from below.

" Hehe! Fucking loser." I chuckled as I looked at Yui catching her breath.

" I... I almost died..." She whispered.

" And you survived. But I'm surprised Karaka targets you this time. I guess we'll have to up your training." I tapped her head as I sat down next her.

Yui growled at the thought of training as I had increased the difficulty of her training.

" So that's Archimedes." Arie muttered as she looked at the floating ship in the air.

" Yup, I've read it from the books, and it looks another more beautiful in person." I said as I looked through the window.

" I booked us rooms with an ocean view. We have two days to gather information on other participates." Everyone nodded as we landed.

" Ditch the car. Attach a bomb, in case Karaka had a tracker on it."

" Uhm, dad. The news." Yui tapped my shoulder as I looked at her lighthouse.

( Khun Pov )

" Do you think the Cold King would participate?" I looked at the news and at Hwaryun.

" Cold king... it's funny how they call him that when he's hard to find." Hwaryun spoke as she looked at the TV.

" I heard he was able to freeze the air, making it look like he froze time." I replied wondering if the ronur was true.

" Froze time... in his fight with Karaka. They both surpassed theu limits which is a good thing for FUG since Karaka gotten stronger and a bad thing ad well since Zero gotten stronger as well."

" But to answer your question... he actually froze time for a second and that scared Karaka and the FUG elders." Hwaryun smiled.

" Oh?...." I couldn't imagine something like time being frozen. It was too far-fetched.

The squad and I were watching TV. Endorsi was was talking about fighting Viole and the Heroic knight.

" Sigh, such a corny title." I muttered I brushed Yui tail.

" I think it sounds cool." Yui said as she held a flap of Endorsi's face on it.

" Uh huh." I replied.

Next was sweatshirt as I tuned out the TV and focused back on brushing Yui's hair.

But the next second the TV turned static as we all looked at each other in confusion.

" Get ready." I ordered ad I stopped brushing Yui's hair as she went to grab her daggers.

" I'm 10, one of the host of this workshop battle." We looked at the TV.

" Are you enjoying the beautiful night view of Sophia Island? The beach here is one of the most beautiful places inside the 30F middle area, so don't miss it."

" But no matter how beautiful night view are, you must be looking forward to your departure. I know this time must be a bit boring for you. "

" So for your entertainment.... we've prepared a game. Amd the prize of this game... is.... 248 tickets for a ride on the Archimedes that will depart in two days!!"

" Those with tickets will get a ride the Archimedes! Those without tickets will not! Now use the items we give you! And get the tickets to archimedes!! The rule of this game is.....one shot! One opportunity!!"

I grabbed the gun and looked inside the chamber to se one bullet and a switch on the side.

10 started to explain the gun and its function. Shooting regulars with light mode would get the ticket but it's only avaible when i shoot a light fairy.

I have to shoot someone with dark mode to get a ticket.

" Yui, remember how to use a gun?" I looked at Yui who nodded.

" Yes, you wouldn't shut up about being the best marksman..." She groaned.

I chuckled as looked at the door.

" For now, we should get some bullets. It'll help our chances incase any of you miss your shots." I said which caused the team to agree.
