Chapter 10: Time for monsters to climb

100k special 2/2

"Should I rule this tower~?" Asked Kai with a grin.

He knew that this question is probably a sensitive topic for the residents of the tower because he guessed that there is only one acknowledged king in this tower. And that King is definitely someone who majority of the people is afraid to defy.

As for how he guessed that there is only one acknowledged king, well, he got clues from how Headon, Evan, and Yuri talk.

Anyways, seeing Lero ro's composure break, Kai couldn't help but laugh.

"Pffftt hahaha~! Man, your face sure is quite a sight hearing my last question. I was just joking, Mr. ranker." He said before he shake black march violently again. Black march shouting angrily is heard only in his head as he snickered.

"You sure know how to break someone's composure, Mr. Kai." Said Lero ro as he calms down from his shock. He is normally composed but he somehow loses that ability infront of this irregular.

'I guess that is one of his irregular abilities?' thought Lero ro. Everybody knows that Irregulars always possess weird abilities so even him making people act differently to him can be some kind of ability.

"It might be a joke but I will still answer it considering our deal...it's quite simple after all..." Said Lero ro before Kai spoke.

"Right...if I want to and if I have the power to do so...what else could it be. I still don't want both so that question is a literal joke...I'm not interested in things like that for now. Afterall..." Kai then stands up as he got on a swinging stance and looked at a certain direction.

He then swings with slight force as it created an air wave towards a direction of someone wearing a cloak.

Lero ro did not bother stopping him as the air wave is not really that strong and it's also not targeted at the regulars who are still at the other side.

He just looked at where it was going as he waited for Kai to continue.

"After all...I still want to enjoy my new life."

The wave was slapped away by the one wearing a cloak as the individual turned to look at Kai with a glare. But the one in the cloak just got confused as Kai was just lying down with his head on his hands beside the ranker who just waved at the cloaked figure with a smile. The individual just got confused as it turned around and ignored him.

Meanwhile, Lero ro asked Kai why did he do that.

"Nothing...but I gotta say...all princesses sure is beautiful huh." Said Kai as he closes his eyes with a smile. Yuri is also beautiful even with her tomboyish attitude so he came into conclusion that it's probably some kind of a requirement for one to become a princess.

Hearing this, Lero ro then understood why he did it as he nods.

"Of course, that's one of the requirements for becoming a princess afterall." Answered Lero ro confirming Kai's guess.

One of the requirements are their looks for obvious reasons. Even if the princess is strong, it will still damage the image of the king if she is not pleasant to the eyes.

"Anyways, mr. ranker. Looks like you have to do your job." Said Kai while still lying down with his eyes closed.

At his no context sentence, Lero ro still got what he means because there's some kind of commotion going on on the other side.

"Alright. Thanks again, Mr. Kai. Talk to you again after I deal with the commotion."

"Yup. Good luck, mr. ranker." Said Kai sa he just raised his right hand with a thumb's up.

Lero ro then walks towards the regulars on the other side as he saw a man shouting and trying to punch the barrier.

"Damn it! Why must I fail such a ridiculous test!? I don't know what that barrier is made of but I'm plenty strong even without those skills!!"

He then points at his self with his thumb.

"Out of the regulars here, I am the strongest!! And now you are saying that not passing here means I'm disqualified!? Nonsense!! And even that pretty boy passed by a fluke!? Are you kidding!?" Shouted the man angrily.

Hearing this, Kai who is lying on the stage spoke.

"Nah, man. The reason I passed and you did not is not because of fluke or strength. I passed because I'm just too handsome and you did not because you are just some worthless ugly ass side character so shut the fuck up before that mr. ranker right there get angry and shove a pole of shinsu up your ass." Said Kai lazily not even bothering to sit up and look at the man he was insulting.

Hearing this, everyone except the man laughed. Even those who can't pass the barrier forgot about their same misfortune as they also laughed.

Even the cloaked individual giggled as the voice of a girl is heard.

"That man that you are calling your god sure is interesting huh." Said the girl towards her two team mates who is also wearing a cloak.

"Of course, he is our god afterall." Said one of them. A voice of a man is heard as he just stared at Kai's sleeping figure.

"Umu! Umu! Indeed! Kai- chama is the epitome of awesomeness nano!!" Said the other cloaked individual who has a voice of a girl as she raises her hands joyfully while also looking at Kai with fanatical eyes.

'I just joined their team since they are the strongest and not disgusting people that I saw first but...they sure are weird.' the girl thought.

She then looked at the ranker dealing with the noisy man as he pressured him with shinsu that is supposed to be commonly found in 30th floor and higher. The man then cried in hopelessness as he talks about his family and whatnot but she couldn't careless as she just turned to look at the boy sleeping on the stage.

'Not getting affected by shinsu, turning someone else's shinsu into red, strong regulars calling him their god, and last but not the least...making me paralyzed for some seconds with only his presence...who is he?'

Wondered the girl before she saw a light blue haired boy carrying a briefcase and a huge alligator running towards him.

Before the sleeping man even managed to get up to see who is running towards him, he got punched in the face by the light blue haired boy as he lied down on the stage again with a bleeding nose.

Seeing this, the girl giggled a bit before she turned to look at her two team mates as she thought.

'Looks like the time I climbed the tower is also the time when monsters climbed. Well, I'm a monsters myself so it's probably some kind of fate.'

She thought before she brought out a mirror as she looked at her reflection and put on a lipstick.

-

The test was finally finished after a few minutes as Kai, Khun, and Rak is now on a huge room with its ceiling built as a huge window as the blue sky is revealed.

Kai is currently on Khun's back as Khun's payment for punching Kai on the face for some reason. Rak is...well, being Rak.

The trio and the rest of the regulars are waiting for the first ones that entered the test room before they heard a shout of horror.

"UAAAKKKKKK!!!!"

Hearing that shout, all the regulars and even the trio got alerted.

The test administrator, a girl with yellow hair and clothes spoke as she smiled.

"Next team, please come in."

She said as she gestured at the door towards the test room.
