"Well, ladies and gentlemen, this round's winner is Grendal Osrope. Please give a big round of applause for Mr. Grendal," Sam announced as the last match from the duels section ended.

"Well, are you ready, Mr. Jules? The Magic Rumble is about to start," Fiona asked with a smile.

"Oh, I think I am," Anon answered as he looked at the Arena.

'Am I ready? Jessica?' Anon asked.

'I will help you with most of the stuff, master... so, don't worry,' Jessica replied.

'What about you, Link?' Anon inquired.

[Ready to serve you at any time, master.] Link answered.

'Good... let's do this.' Anon thought as he prepared himself for the Magic Rumble. He was a little bit nervous because he hasn't been the best when it came to studying magic.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to start the second part of the Academic Exchange Event... THE MAGIC RUMBLE," Sam shouted in a very excited voice.

"Let me explain the rules of this tournament to all the candidates...

In the start of your match, a mage from the royal court will give you an incomplete or jumbled magic circle of a random skill, and you guys will only have 1 minute to complete it and tell everyone what that spell actually is.

This event will consist of 5 stages...

At the first stage, you will get circles that will be very easy to solve. You guys will be given 5 questions that will contain 20 points each. The more you solve, the more points you will get.

Since this competition will be hosted according to the points system, you guys will have to get as many points as possible.

If you score 50 points in the first round and your opponent scores 80 points... you will get disqualified, and another student will take your place and after that, he will compete against your opponent.

Now, if you pass the first round, you will meet even genius minds in the second round. n)(O𝗏𝓮𝓵𝔟1n

In the second round, you guys will be given 10 questions, 20 points each question, meaning you will play for 200 points.

If you lose round one, the easiest round, then you will get disqualified immediately.

The last round will be the fifth round, and it will be the most challenging round. You will be given 5 questions only but, 1000 points each, and if you give the wrong answer to any question, not only will you get any points... but you will get a 1000 points cut out of your original points as well.

The one who will be standing with the maximum points at last, will be the winner of this event.

Thank you guys. Have a great Rumble-Jumble." Sam spoke as he changed the paper in his hands and started reading out names for the first two competitors.

"So, the first competitor of the match we have is Mr. Lami Droza. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Mr. Lami," Sam shouted loudly as he pointed towards the left entry gate.

Suddenly, a man wearing glasses, a nerdy-like face, black small hairs, and a skinny body stepped out from the left gate.

"Hello, Mr. Lami. How are you?" Sam asked.

"I-I am fine," Lami spoke in a very low tone.

"Oh, okay. Well, let's invite the next competitor now. Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Miss. Jane Hurl,

She is the only girl child in her family, and despite having six brothers, she has proven her worth by coming at the top of her academy in studying magic," Sam announced.

An elven girl, aged around 30 years, green hairs, long ears, an average body, and circular glasses on her eyes, stepped out from the right entry gate.

"Hello, Miss. Jane... may I ask how you are feeling about this today?" Sam asked.

"I feel good and I feel powerless... I-I mean powerful. I will defeat everyone today," Jane spoke.

"Even Mr. Jule?" Sam asked with a smile.

"I-I-I don't know about Sir Jule, but yeah, everyone else except him. I believe in myself," Jane replied.

'It's like I am watching some nerds, who are about to play a game of chess.' Anon thought as he looked at them.

"Well, without any more delay... let's get this party started. Contestants, please take a seat," Sam spoke.

On the stage, there were two chairs and two tables placed with a blackboard in front of them.

"Now, I would like to request our Royal Court's Mage, Mr. Rafael Jeffery, to come on the stage and begin this sacred competition," Sam announced as he stepped off of the stage.

Both Jane and Lami sat down on their chairs. There were two pens and one notebook in front of them.

"Hello, Contestants... I am Rafael Jeffery, and I will be giving you your magic circles today..." An old elf around 1500 years stepped onto the stage, he had a long white beard, a pointy hat on his head, and a wand in his hands.

"We greet, Sir Rafael." Both Lami and Jane immediately stood up again and bowed down to Rafael.

"Please sit down. Your first circle will be this one..." Rafael picked up the chalk and started drawing a magic circle on the board.

He only drew half of the circle and left it in between...

"You have one minute to complete it and tell me what this skill circle is used for," Rafael spoke as he put down the chalk and looked at both of the competitors.

30 seconds passed, but none of the contestants spoke anything....

Suddenly, Jane raised her hand.

"Yes, Miss. Jane?" Rafael asked.

"It's a fireball form 1, spell circle, sir." Jane spoke.

"Good, you have won the first exchange and gained 20 points. This is your next question," Rafael declared as he erased the first circle and drew another one.

This process continued for the next five minutes...

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first round of Magic Rumble has ended, and the first winner of this match is..... Miss. Jane. Please give a big round of applause for Miss. Jane," Sam spoke.

Clap-Clap-Clap

"Now, we will move Miss. Jane to the next table and wait unless someone else passes the first round again to compete with her.

Mr. Lami, you are eliminated from this event, please leave. Now the next contestants we have are Miss. Ella, the Vice-chief commander of the Dark Elves Vs. Mr. Jule, from the royal side," Sam announced.

"Everyone, please welcome Miss. Ella, the one and only Vice-Chief Commander of the Dark Elves," Sam announced with a very excited expression.

'A Vice-Chief Commander vs. the boy who is representing the Queen herself. Hehe... this is going to be interesting. She is not going to miss any chance to rub it in the Queen's face, but Mr. Jule is not going to lose that easily either. I can't wait to see the results of this match...' Sam thought as he observed Ella coming out from the right entrance gate.

Ella looked very cheerful and positive; she waved at the audience and walked up to the stage.

"Hello, Miss. Ella... How do you feel about your opponent? You do know that Mr. Jule hasn't lost a single match since the beginning, right?" Sam asked with a smile.

"Sam, Mr. Jule is a tough opponent, even for me. I have to play it carefully, but believe me... I am going to win this," Ella spoke with a very confident expression.

"Well, that's a very positive attitude you have, Miss. Ella. I hope you win.

Now, let's welcome our second contestant... The man who hasn't lost even a single match from the start, please welcome Mr. Jule, everyone." Sam shouted.

"Woooohoooooooo.... Jule Win."

"Go Go Go, Win Mr. Jule."

"Jule, Jule, Jule..."

As soon as Sam announced this, the whole Colosseum went into an uproar; everyone started cheering for him loudly.

Anon entered the arena, from the left entry door. He took off his sunglasses and walked up to the stage.

"He looks cool and sexy... what do you think?" Eve asked Deris.

"Well, I see him as a friend. To me, he is only a friend," Deris replied with a smile.

"What a boring girl you are?" Eve replied, as she turned her attention back to Anon.

"Mr. Jule, Is there anything you want to say to Miss. Ella?" Sam asked.

"Nothing, let's just start this," Anon replied as he sat down on the chair.

"Good luck, jerk," Ella spoke as she also took her seat, right in front of him.

'What's her problem?' Anon wondered as he looked at Ella.

"Now, I would like to request another mage from the Royal Court to come and give our contestants the magic circles, Sir Kio Frawl." Sam announced as he stepped off of the stage.

A male elf around 200 years old walked up to the stage; he looked rather young from his appearance and had an angry expression on his face.

'Why the heck am I called here? I don't want to be part of this child's play.

I have to leave my research just because of this stupid event. Don't they have other Mages? Forget this... I will give them easy magic circles, and they will guess it swiftly, and I will also leave early.' Kio thought as he walked up to the stage and looked at both of them.

"Greetings, Sir Kio." Ella immediately greeted Kio, but Anon didn't even bother to look at him.

"Excuse me, Sir? Don't you know how to greet a Royal Mage?" Kio asked with a frustrated tone.

"Are you here to be greeted or give us questions?" Anon asked with a serious expression.

"This is absurd. Kid, you are very annoying. I am one of the senior Royal mages; you have to stand up and greet me," Kio shouted.

"He didn't bow down before the Queen herself; he thinks he can make him bow down to him," one of the Royal Ministers spoke in a mocking tone.

'Master, please... Just bow to him or he will exploit something from the written rules of 'The Academic Exchange Event' to make you look miserable.

I have seen him; he is a jerk. I fired him, but my dear sister must've hired him again.' Jessica explained.

'Hmm...? So that's how it is, huh?' Anon thought as he looked at Kio.

"Bow down to me now, kid, or you will regret this mistake your whole life," Kio shouted.

"What the heck is wrong with you? I thought you were a scholar, turns out you are just a spoiled kid who doesn't even bother to come out of his room," Anon spoke without even looking at Kio; he just continued to draw something on his notebook.

"Oh shoot, He made Sir Kio angry," a Royal Minister spoke.

"My Queen, shall we inform Sir Kio that he is your candidate?" one of Fiona's official mages asked.

"No, I want to see what he will do in this kind of situation," Fiona spoke as a smile appeared on her face.

'Making Sir Kio angry? You messed up, Jule. That would be the last mistake I would ever make in this event,' Ella thought as her lips curved into a smile.

Kio Frawl; he was a genius from birth. He started the study of magic at the age of 3 and became a well-known Royal Minister at the age of 16.

He excelled in more than 10 magic academies, and at the age of 20, he became a Royal Mage.

Everyone saw infinite potential in Kio, but Kio was different... he didn't want to talk with anyone or see anyone. He spent more than 90% of his life in one single room, researching spells and artifacts.

He is the founder of many things that changed the world in a good way like Communication Crystal Balls, Mana Capturing Screens, and Immortal Arena.

But, he is forced to come out of his room 3 times a year and do some activities in the outer world. Just like this one.

"Very well, you choose this. You brought this on yourself. I will ask you 10 questions in total... 5 for the girl and 5 for this boy, this girl will be passed at 3 right answers, however you have to give all 5 answers right or you will get disqualified." Kio spoke with a very angry expression.

"My Queen, that's against the rules..." one of the mages spoke up.

"You don't know him. Kio knows the rules, and he knows how to play with them. Even if you stop him now, he will give you an answer that will make you wonder, 'Why did I even ask the question?'" another mage replied.

"We still have to question him... we are the Royal Highness's mages."

"Go on. Try it..." Fiona spoke up with a smile.

"Mr. Kio, don't you know the rules of the Academic Exchange Event? Why are you trying to change them?" the Queen's Official Mage questioned.

Kio immediately turned around and bowed down.

"I greet, My Queen. Sir, as you asked, why am I trying to change the rules?

Well, I am not. According to Clause 56-B of the Academic Exchange Event Rules, a Royal mage who is giving out questions to the competitors can ask any number of questions to a competitor if he finds him or her much more intelligent than his or her observant level.

You may need to read it again," Kio replied with a serious face.

"W-What? Is there a rule like this?" The mage immediately went into confusion and looked at the other mage.

"There is, and that's why I told you not to ask this," the other mage replied with a cunning smile.

"As I can see that you aren't even aware of this event's rules, how are you even standing beside the elven Queen?

You should be ashamed of yourself," Kio added.

"T-This... I-" The mage was unable to speak at this moment as he just got brutally embarrassed in front of half the Elven Kingdom.

"Looks like I forgot to tell you about the insult that comes with the answer... hehe," the other mage murmured as he laughed a little.

"You may continue..." Fiona announced.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Kio spoke as he bowed once again before turning towards Anon.

"Sit down; your questions will start now," Kio spoke as he looked at Ella.

"Yes, Sir," Ella replied as she sat down.

"Now, the first question is for the girl... Tell me the name of this circle." Kio asked as he drew a full magic circle and asked only its name from Ella.

"H-Hey, That's an already completed circle. Isn't he supposed to give them half or incomplete magic circles?"

"Yeah, I am thinking the same."

"He is cheating... he doesn't want Jule to win."

"What a loser...."

"DIEEEEEEEE...."

The audience went into an uproar once again as they started criticizing Kio.

"Sir, that's a Waterball Form 1, Skill circle," Ella replied almost immediately; she didn't have to do any calculations because it was already clear.

"Good... you win 20 points. Now, it's your turn. Here is your question. Tell me about this circle..." Kio asked Anon as he drew an incomplete magic circle on the board, but it wasn't an ordinary magic circle.

It had 3 circles around it, meaning an advanced-level skill.

"T-That's a C-Ranked skill... How can a student like him answer that? They aren't even being taught in the academies. That's an impossible question to answer... My Queen, Mr. Jule will be disqualified at this rate," a Royal Minister spoke from behind.

"I have faith in him. If he is saying things like that and if he beats Kio today, history will get changed today, and a new scholar will be born," the Queen spoke as she focused her eyes on Anon.

Everyone from the Royal Court started looking at Anon with their utmost attention...

"What have you done, Mr. Jule?" Faith spoke in a very sad tone as she looked at Anon from a corner of the Colosseum.

'Link...'

[The answer is simple, master. It's a C-Rank Wind Barrier Defensive spell. Even a kid can answer this, and I thought this is going to be a hard competition.] Link immediately spoke.

'Are you sure?'

[Master... I have been on this land for more than 10 eternities... I know basic spells like these. My kin discovered most of these spells back then and gave them to the Elves.]

"Your time is going away, and you haven't even started calculating. 30 seconds remain... Mr. What is your name again? Oh, let it be... it doesn't matter anymore since you are getting disqualified anyways," Kio spoke as he looked at Anon with a mocking smile.

"A Wind Barrier Defensive type spell, Rank-C...." Anon spoke up.

Suddenly silence covered the whole Colosseum.

"S-Say it again...." Kio asked with a confused expression.

"That spell is a Wind Barrier Defensive type spell, Rank-C... Am I right?" Anon asked with an even louder voice.

"Y-Yes...." Kio answered as he couldn't understand how Anon gave the answer to this spell.

"Woohoo... Mr. Jule. Keep it going... he is not afraid of you."

"Go Go, Mr. Jule."

"Fuck him up, Mr. Jule. I am a big fan."

The audience immediately started cheering and shouting.

"Don't be so full of yourself, Kid. This wasn't even a real problem. I will come back to you in a moment.

Oi, Girl, Answer this question fast," Kio spoke as he turned to Ella and drew another complete magic circle on the board.

"It's a...." Ella was about to answer the question but Kio interrupted her.

"... That's right, it's the circle of Icicle Shards. You won 20 points... Now you," Kio spoke as he turned his attention back to Anon.

'But... I didn't answer the question?' Ella thought as she looked at Kio.

"Tell me the number of lines that I have to add inside this circle to complete it..." Kio asked as he drew another C-Ranked skill's Magic circle on the board.

[Master, This mortal speaks too much. Can I possess your body for the next 3 minutes? Just to stop his blabbering mouth. It's alright if you don't want to give.] Link requested.

[Your pet 'Link' has requested to possess your body for the next 3 minutes? Do you allow it?] [Yes/No]

'Well, I don't understand this Magic circles thing either. So, I will allow it.' Anon thought as he clicked on yes.

Suddenly, Anon felt warmth coming into his body, and he lost control over his hands and legs. He could only see the world through his eyes, but he couldn't move his body.

[Thank you, master. I will shut him up in just a minute.]

'No problem. Give him a good dose,' Anon replied.

"Mortal, you have to add 5 lines in that circle to complete it." Suddenly, Kio noticed that Anon's speaking style had changed; it sounded even more noble now, but he didn't give it too much attention.

"Hahaha... you are wrong. This circle only needs 3 lines to be completed. You are disqualified," Kio spoke as he mocked Anon.

Link moved Anon's body and stood up; he walked up to the blackboard, grabbed the chalk from the table, and started drawing lines over the magic circle that Kio had already drawn on the board.

"Here you go...." Link spoke as he gave the chalk back to Kio after drawing five lines over the magic circle and sat back down on his seat.

"T-This...." Kio was too shocked to say anything when he looked at the blackboard.

"You... Modified it...?"

"How can you do that? How can you modify it?" Kio couldn't believe his eyes; he had conducted research on these kinds of spells for the past hundred years, but he was never able to modify even a single magic circle.

But today, a kid... Did it and without even looking at it twice.

'This is impossible... how can he connect two circles like that? But its functions will work if used. It's definitely modified and in a unique way... Who exactly is this kid?' Kio thought as he turned his head towards Anon.

"Mr. Kio, Is his answer right or not?" Fiona asked with a tensed expression.

"I-It's right, My Queen," Kio replied.

"I knew it..." Fiona released her tension as she came to know this.

'This kid is a prodigy. The likes of him are born once in a thousand years. I have to nurture him with everything I have, and once he becomes my puppet... I will have my next heir with him.

This is interesting. I want to see more of his abilities,' Fiona thought as she smiled and looked at Anon.

"So.... Next question?" Anon asked with a smile.

"You... Won. There is nothing else to ask now. I declare you as the winner, Mr. Jule," Kio announced with a disappointed expression on his face as he looked at the board.

"What? Sir, Kio... You haven't asked anything from me, and you just declared him the winner?" Ella spoke.

"Hmmm....? Oh, yes, you. Don't worry about it... you were going to lose anyway, don't sweat it," Kio spoke without any hesitation.

"Mr. Kio, What are you saying? I am a very good scholar; please take my test too..." Ella insisted.

"Okay... if you say so. Here is the last magic circle for you only; if you give me the answer to this one, I will declare you the winner instead of him.

Tell me, what this circle stands for...." Kio asked as he drew another Rank-C magic circle on the blackboard.

"T-This... please give me a minute." Ella spoke as she started calculating something in her notebook.

"Mr. Jule, Do you have any other spells, like this one? I will buy them immediately. If you have some more, please. I will pay you any amount you want," Kio requested Anon.

"I do have them, but you are not capable of understanding them," Link replied with a smirk.

"Please, Enlighten me," Kio spoke, as hope appeared in his eyes.

"Okay, here you go." Link stood up again and started drawing something on the board.

Suddenly he stopped and gave the chalk back to Kio.

"A-A... Quantum Magic?" Kio spoke with a stunned expression.

"Yes..." Link replied.

"That's not possible, these spells are urban legends... they aren't real. The mana flow in these spells is too twisted for any Elf, Human, or elf to control," Kio asked with a very confusing expression... he read about these spells but he always thought that these type of spells cannot exist in the real world.

"Quantum Reflect...." Link spoke as he immediately used his skill.

Thud

Kio immediately fell down to his knees and looked at the magic circles forming behind Anon's back.

"I-Impossible..." Kio spoke with a shocked expression.

"This is a ... Quantum Spell?" Ella spoke with an equally shocked expression.

Most of the Elves in the audience didn't even know about the Quantum Magic concept, so they just tried to understand what was going on.

[Body possession time has ended.]

Suddenly Anon came back to his real body and Link went back to his tattoo form.

"Mr. Kio, Please Announce the winner of this event," Fiona spoke up.

"Y-Yes... Ella, were you able to solve the question?" Kio asked Ella.

"No," Ella accepted her defeat.

"Mr. Jule is the winner of this competition," Kio announced.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I didn't understand what just happened here, but Mr. Jule is the winner of this competition. Please have a big round of applause for him," Sam announced.

"Fuck..." Ella cursed as she stepped off of the stage and went back to her room immediately.

Anon, on the other side, went back to his seat near Fiona.

"So, You defeated one of the biggest Mages I have... How do you feel about that?" Fiona asked with a smile.

"Good," Anon replied.

"Just Good? Don't you want to say something else?" Fiona asked.

"Nope," Anon spoke as he wore his sunglasses and went back to laying down on his chair.

"You are very lazy," Fiona spoke as she turned her attention back to the competition.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Jule has been moved to the second table, and now we will Start the third match of the Magic Rumble.

The next competitor for the next match is Mr. Maison from the Greenwich Academy of Wizards and Mr. Holt from the Rouge Academy of Martial Arts.

Please welcome both of them with a big round of applause," Sam Announced.

"Do your best, Son. I want to see you in the last round," Mrs. Glen spoke as she saw Maison standing up.

"Don't worry, mom. I will not get disqualified Before Mr. Jule does," Maison spoke as he exited the Royal Sitting area and started walking towards the arena.

"Guess both of us are going to win this year then," Anon spoke with a mocking tone as he smiled in his sleep.

Maison and Holt sat down on their chairs, and another royal mage walked up to the stage.

The match started and ended pretty fast.

Maison was as good as they said... he won by 5-0.

'Master... Can you hear me?' Mike's Voice resounded in Anon's mind.

'What is it, Mike?' Anon asked.

'Master, we went to the address that you gave us.' Mike reported.

'Ah, that blonde guy's address.' Anon spoke.

'Yes, Master. There was no one here.... it was a rental place. When I asked the original owner about the guy's information, he said that the blond guy gave him 2 gold coins to let him stay here for 7 days without any details and after that he left.' Mike informed.

'7 days ? What did you do here for 7 Days, Mr. Blondie ?' Anon thought as he looked at the sky.

-x-X-x-

Inside the Colosseum...

"Ladies and Gentlemen, the sun is about to go down, and we have to pause today's Academic Exchange event... But, In the Competition of Magic Rumble Today, we saw many talented minds, like Mr. Jule, Mr. Maison, Miss. Emma, and many more.

Out of the 200 Competitors that participated in today's competition, we have selected 100 Competitors that will fight at the second table tomorrow, but this amount is still a very small amount in comparison to all the Competitors that are still left to participate. n-.𝔬./𝑽/-𝓔((𝓵)(𝗯))1)-n

We dedicated yesterday to the Dueling Competition and Today to the Magic Rumble Competition. As you all know, tomorrow will be dedicated to the Mind Games.

But, From the day after tomorrow, we will be commencing all three competitions in the same day, giving 2 hours to each competition.

Now, I will take my break. Everyone have a good day, Thank you." Sam announced as he stepped off of the stage and everyone started leaving the Colosseum.

'If I want to dig into this zombie matter, I have to stop wasting my time here, and for that, I will need someone to take my place. Maybe a clone, but making my own clone can backfire very easily. I have to give it my memories and skills too.

What if someone found out about it and tried to mess with its mind? No, that would be a very bad idea.

What should I do?' Anon thought as he started leaving the Colosseum with Fiona.

Charlie opened the gate for Anon's carriage. He grabbed the door handle and walked inside.

Suddenly Anon noticed something; when he grabbed the carriage's door handle, he looked at his hand and noticed Link's Tattoo.

'Link... Can you possess a clone?' Anon asked as he sat down.

[I can't say this for sure, master. I haven't done anything like that in my life. Although, I have seen many clones but I haven't possessed one until now.] Link answered.

'Hmm... Seems like you will be trying it out soon, but first, I would need to find dead Elf corpses or kill some myself.' Anon said as he removed the mask of nature from his face.

He looked in the window and stared at his reflection very carefully.

"It has been many days since I last looked at this face. It's like I am losing my identity. I have to increase the speed of my plan, at taking over this kingdom." Anon spoke as he pulled out a hair from his inventory, placed it on the mask, and put it back onto his face.

His face and body transformed back into Jule's body and face.

Screeeeeeeeeeeeech

The carriage stopped in front of the Royal Castle and everyone stepped out.

"Don't forget about your punishment, Mr. Jule. Meet me back, right here, in one hour. Charlie will arrange your clothes." Fiona spoke as she started walking back to her room to get dressed for the memorial.

Suddenly, another carriage's gate opened up, and Faith stepped down from it.

Both of their eyes met.

"M-Mr. Jule... T-This-" Faith tried to speak something but Anon just gave her a slight smile and left.

'How can I do this? He did so much for me, and all I gave him is a heartbreak? He took the punishment, even after the breakup.

How can I be such a bitch? I have to talk with him but, What will I tell him?' Faith thought as tears started coming out of her eyes.

Faith's heart was under a lot of pressure as she didn't know how to deal with her feelings, but what she also didn't know was that Anon is manipulating her feelings and playing with them as he liked.

'She is getting crushed by her own feelings. That's what I want... the more her guilt increases, the more she will fall for me. Now, we will add a bit of jealousy and she will be mine, forever.

It's time, I ask Derein for that favour.

Manipulation is just the best, Mind Control. Once she enters in bed with me, it will be game over for this kingdom. I will corrupt Fiona, Make her my slave and Give the Kingdom's royal throne back to Jessica. After this I will have two kingdoms under me, sounds good.

She is the last part of the tower that I want to break, before all of it falls down into ruins.' Anon thought as he smiled and observed Faith crying from a distanced window.

Anon went back to his room after this and noticed that Jessica and Mike are already standing inside the room.

"We greet, our master." Both of them spoke as they bowed down to Anon.

"What happened? Why are you guys here?" Anon asked. He started undressing, and Jessica's face immediately started turning red.

"Master, we have found two more elf zombies." Mike reported.

Anon suddenly stopped as he looked at Mike with a shocked expression.

"What? Where?" Anon asked.

"Near the Red light area, Sir. One was a Dark elf and the Other one was a White elf." Jessica spoke up.

"Did you kill both of them?" Anon asked.

"Killed one of them, Master. I sent another one to Madam Sephie's laboratory as you Commanded previously." Mike spoke.

"Good... I want to know why these Elf-Zombies are more physically powerful than the human and Ogre zombies." Anon spoke as he changed into his Butler uniform.

"Master, if you don't mind. Can I ask why you are in a butler's uniform?" Jessica asked.

"I am going to the human kingdom, with your sister." Anon answered as he started wearing his bow tie.

"Master... let me help you." Jessica spoke as she immediately went up to Anon and started helping him in wearing his bow tie.

"M-Master, Can I ask you a favour?" Mike spoke up from behind in a funny and squeaky voice.

Both Anon and Jessica turned towards Mike with a smile on their faces.

"What?" Anon asked.

"Can I come with you? It's been a while since I last saw my wife and Daughter, please." Mike replied.

"Oh my... look at the big boy, who wants to spend time with his family." Jessica mocked Mike with a smile.

"S-Shut up..." Mike spoke.

"Yeah, Okay." Anon approved.

Fiona walked down the stairs with a black outfit; she looked stunning. All the male workers were staring at her.

"Oi, cunts. What the fuck are you staring at? She is your Queen. Get back to work, or I will fire you fuckers right now," Maria shouted, as always.

"Maria, keep your calm. Don't you feel any shame when you utter words like that from your mouth?" Fiona asked.

"No, ma'am. This mouth is one of the reasons why your mother hired me as your maid. She wanted me to protect you from anyone that wanted to harm you," Maria replied.

"Well, I don't think anyone would even dare to harm me after they hear your flower-like words," Fiona murmured as both of them reached near the carriage.

As soon as they reached near the carriage, Fiona noticed that Anon is already standing there, holding the gate open for her.

"Hello, Mr. Handsome Butler," Fiona spoke as she smiled.

"Hello, Ma'am," Anon spoke as he smiled back at her.

Fiona walked inside the carriage and sat down on her seat. After her, Anon followed.

He also sat down in front of her and closed the carriage's gates. The carriages immediately started moving.

"So, Mr. Jule, did you learn how to attend to a princess as a butler?" Fiona asked with a smirk on her face.

"No, I know the basics. I worked as a butler in an upper royal's house before," Anon replied.

"Well, you must've done a great job for him because you know so many things that only a butler can do. Like opening the gate for me, greeting me, and sitting inside the same carriage as me," Fiona spoke.

"I did, Ma'am," Anon replied.

'Hmm... If I remember correctly, the last time I saw Freeda, she was lying paralyzed on her bed,' Anon thought as a smile curved on his face.

"I don't want to go there... But I have to because some of our Elven kids killed her husband and daughter. If I had enough force power to attack the human kingdom, I would've done it long ago.

But I am still waiting for the right time to strike," Fiona spoke up.

Anon kept his mouth shut and just listened to her talk.

"Why aren't you speaking, something?" Fiona asked.

'There is one principle in my life: The more you listen, the more you become knowledgeable, and the more you speak, the more stupid you look,' Anon thought as he looked at Fiona.

"Why do you want to start another war?" Anon asked with a curious expression, although he already knew the answer. He just wanted to hear it from Fiona.

"Those filthy things don't deserve to live. They are better dead. Do you remember the war that happened 150 years ago? They must've taught you about it in the academy," Fiona asked Anon.

"I know," Anon replied.

"Well, in that war... the humans betrayed us and the dwarfs. They released a very poisonous gas on the battlefield when we were fighting against the Counsellor.

On that same field, my grandfather and my dad were present... they were murdered by the humans, brutally.

That's when I decided that I will erase the name of the human race from this planet, but I had no power.

When my mother died, she gave the title of 'Queen' to my younger sister, Jessica. I begged her to give me some power so I can kill those humans, but she rejected my proposal.

She said, 'There is nothing we gain from revenge. We will continue to maintain a friendly relationship with the humans.'

That bitch...." Fiona stopped talking as she looked outside the window with an angry expression on her face.

"What happened after that?" Anon asked with a polite tone, as he tried to take out the whole truth from her own mouth.

"Well, I removed her from my path," Fiona replied with a smile.

"What? You killed your own younger sister?" Anon asked as he pretended to be surprised.

"No, I couldn't kill her. I gave her a slave collar in the form of a very beautiful necklace. She accepted it cheerfully, and as soon as she did... she became my slave.

I made her give up the Royal Throne and make me the Next Queen. After that, I sold her off to a slave seller for free. He must've sold her to some filthy rich human, who has been using her as a sex slave or worse... she would be dead by now. Hehehe.

No one who comes in the way of my revenge will be spared... even if it's my blood," Fiona spoke as she laughed like a lunatic.

Meanwhile, Anon enjoyed her laugh.

'Laugh, bitch... Laugh while you can. Once I take Faith under me... your dreams will be burned down to fucking ashes, and you will become my sex slave,' Anon thought as he also smirked while looking at her.

"Don't you think, humans should be eradicated from this holy land? They are very filthy and stupid too," Fiona asked Anon.

"As you say," Anon agreed to her.

'I can kill her with one... no two slaps, but that would be no fun,' Anon thought.

"Tell me something about yourself. How did you become so strong?" Fiona asked Anon.

"I trained, trained, and trained even more, to become stronger than my previous self," Anon replied.

'Hmm.... Just that? I mean how much stronger did you get after so much training? If I take away all of your magic, can you even fight 50 of my royal guards?" Fiona asked.

"I will kill them, brutally..." Anon replied immediately.

"Hmm...? Really? I don't think you are that strong though," Fiona replied.

"Well, I am," Anon replied.

"Okay, what about if I give you all of your magic. What can you do after that?" Fiona asked.

"Well, let's see... how many royal guards you have?" Anon asked.

"Hmm...? I think about 50,000 right now with mages and everything," Fiona replied.

"I will kill all of them without even blinking my eyes..." Anon replied with a serious expression.

Screeeeeeeeeeeeech

The carriages stopped in front of Derein's Castle.

"You are kidding, aren't you?" Fiona asked with a smile as she stepped off of the carriage.

"I am."

'Nope, I am not. I can destroy all of your kingdom if I used every single one of my powers to its best use, but I like the way of corruption. That's why you are still alive, Bitch,' Anon thought as he looked at Fiona.

Anon and Fiona entered Derein's Castle through the front door, and many servants and maids greeted them.

"Why are these human castles so small?" Fiona asked in a very low tone as she looked at Anon.

"I don't know," Anon answered with a straight face as he continued to walk.

"Good evening, Miss Fiona. Please come with me. I will guide you to the VIP room," a butler spoke as he bowed down to Fiona. He was the same butler who helped Anon when he left for the Elven Kingdom.

'Hmm...? He is not even looking at me. Did he forget about me?' Anon wondered as he looked at the butler.

"Show my butler the main hall, so that he can eat something," Fiona ordered.

"Yes, ma'am, as you command. Maid, please show this gentleman the way to the main hall where the other nobles are eating," the butler ordered another maid.

"Yes, sir, please follow me," the maid spoke as she started walking towards the opposite hall.

"When you are done eating, come to my room and don't kill anyone, just listen to what they say without reacting," Fiona ordered as she left with the butler.

"Yes... Wait, What the fuck does that mean?" Anon murmured in a very low voice as he started following the maid.

"So, what's going on in the human kingdom nowadays?" Anon asked with a smile.

"I am sorry, sir. We are prohibited from talking with the guests," the maid answered.

"Hmm... well, that's cool," Anon answered as he continued to follow her with a smile.

After walking for a while, the maid stopped in front of a big wooden gate.

"This is the main buffet room, please enjoy yourself," the maid spoke as she turned around and left immediately.

"Wow... that's one serious maid. She didn't even look at my face," Anon thought as he opened the door to the room and entered inside.

As soon as he entered the room, he noticed that everyone inside the room was looking at him.

No matter the age, sex, or social status. Everyone turned their eyes toward Anon when they saw him enter the hall.

'What the hell? They are looking at me like I am some kind of monster or something,' Anon wondered as he looked at them.

"Hello, You must be the Elven Queen's butler, right?" A man around 5'6 feet tall approached Anon and raised his hand toward him for a handshake.

"Yes..." Anon replied in a polite tone as he raised his hand for the handshake, but before he could grab the man's hand, he moved his hand away.

Anon looked at the man with a confused expression.

"The fuck are you looking at? Coming here after killing our Queen's daughter and husband, you have got a lot of nerves huh...? Fucking Elves." The man spoke as he looked at Anon with a disgusted expression.

"Hahhahahaha...."

"Hehehehe..."

"Hahahaha..."

Everyone in the room started laughing at Anon.

'Now I understand what Fiona was talking about,' Anon thought as he smiled and looked toward the food serving counters. He ignored everyone and directly went to the food serving counters.

He took a plate from the table and started taking food from the counters.

After making a full plate filled with delicious food, Anon started walking toward an empty table to sit down peacefully and eat.

"Oi, Luke... look at me." A guy in his teenage spoke as he called his friend to look at him.

He started walking toward Anon.

"Oi, Look at Fred... he is about to do something with that Elf fucker." Luke informed his other friends, and everyone started looking at Luke.

"Ah, shit. He is about to do something stupid." A friend from the circle spoke as he laughed and observed his friend Luke with a smile.

'Hmm...? Why is that guy coming toward me? There is pretty much space on both sides, but he walking right in front of me.' Anon wondered as he looked at Luke, coming toward him with a very fast speed.

'He is not changing his course... he is doing it on purpose...' Anon thought as he simply stepped aside and started walking in a different direction.

Luke also changed his direction and started walking toward Anon again.

'Hmm...? This guy won't stop like that.' Anon thought as he simply walked toward an empty table this time, ignoring Luke completely.

Suddenly Luke reached near Anon with a pretty fast speed and tried to collide with him, but Anon dodged him easily.

"Oops..." Anon spoke as he continued to walk in the same direction again.

"You fucking..." Luke spoke with an angry expression as he turned around and started walking toward Anon again, with even more speed this time.

Thak

This time Luke succeeded in his plan and collided with Anon just as he planned to do.

"I am so sorry about your food, Mr.-" Luke spoke as he pretended it to be a mistake, but when he noticed that nothing fell down on the floor, he looked above and noticed that the food's plate is floating in the air.

"No problem." Anon spoke as he looked at Luke with a cunning smirk.

"Hahaha... He failed."

"Can't even do one thing..."

"Haha... what a fucking twat."

Luke's friends made fun of him as they looked at Luke.

'This fucking Elf... how dare he embarrass me in front of my friends? I am a fucking 5-star noble. I will teach him how it feels to be embarrassed.' Luke thought as he walked past Anon and slid his golden ring into Anon's pocket.

'Hmm...? What is this kid trying to do?' Anon wondered as he noticed Luke sliding his ring into Anon's pocket.

"Everyone... My golden ring has been stolen. Please be wherever you are, I need to check your pockets. It was a very important gift from my father; I can't afford to lose it," Luke announced with a very loud voice.

"No worries."

"You can check us, kid."

"No, I have doubt only on one guy in this room, him," Luke spoke as he pointed towards Anon.

"Of course, you will." Anon spoke as he stood up from his chair and looked at Luke with a serious expression.

"I believe he is the one who stole my ring," Luke spoke as he pointed toward Anon.

"Obviously," Anon spoke as he stood up from his chair and looked at Luke with a serious expression.

"I want to check your pockets for my golden ring," Luke spoke with a vicious smile on his face.

"I don't have your golden ring," Anon replied.

"Yeah, every thief would say that. Now, you better let me check, or I am going to tell the guards to forcefully search you," Luke replied.

"Why would I even have your ring? I am Elven Queen's personal butler. Why would I steal your ring?" Anon asked with a neutral expression.

"You Elves are very greedy when it comes to money and jewelry. I know that, no matter your rank, you can still be a thief," Luke spoke as he looked at Anon.

"No shit, this kid is right. You Elves are really very greedy when it comes to money. Maybe he is right... if you didn't steal it, why are you avoiding the search?" Another nobleman spoke, supporting Luke.

"What is going on here?" A very familiar female voice resounded inside the room.

Everyone looked toward the source of this sound and observed that the one who is speaking is none other than Luna herself.

"Oh shit, it's Miss. Luna from the Martial House," Luke spoke as a tense expression appeared all over his face.

"We greet our lady."

"Good evening, Miss. Luna."

"My greetings to Madam Luna," Luke greeted Luna as he immediately bowed down to her.

"I asked, what is going on here?" Luna spoke up.

'Wow, she has changed so much. Her black fur looks even smoother now, and her face looks even cuter,' Anon thought as he looked at Luna.

"Madam Luna. This Elf stole my golden ring. Please punish him," Luke spoke as he pointed toward Anon.

"Hmm? Oh, you must be Elven Queen's personal butler, right?" Luna asked with a smile.

"Yes," Anon replied.

"Hi, I am Luna. I am from the Martial House of Werewolves. We are 7-star nobles," Luna spoke up.

"Good," Anon replied.

"So, did you really steal this kid's ring?" Luna asked.

"No."

"Then, why is he blaming you?"

"Ask him."

"Why are you blaming him?" Luna asked Luke as she turned toward him.

"M-Madam Luna. This guy was the last guy that I collided with, and after that, my ring got lost. I am sure he is the one who stole it, and he is also avoiding himself from a search," Luke spoke.

"Oh, is that right, Sir?" Luna asked as she turned toward Anon.

"You can search me, but if you fail to find anything in my pockets, I need compensation," Anon spoke up.

"What do you want?" Luke asked with a smile.

"Your head," Anon replied.

Suddenly the whole room fell into deep silence, and everyone looked at each other.

"Umm... Excuse me. You do know that you are standing in the human kingdom, right?" Another familiar voice resounded from behind.

Everyone turned around to look at the source of this voice and noticed that it was none other than Frank himself from the Noble House Of Undeads.

He held a glass of wine in his hands and a cunning smirk on his face.

'Wow... now the urge to remove this mask from my face is increasing bit by bit,' Anon thought as anger started building up in his brain.

"I don't think you have any idea where you are standing right now, Mr. Elf. This is the human kingdom, and you dared to ask for a noble's head standing here in this room?" Frank spoke as he walked up to Anon with a cunning smile on his filthy face.

"It's an Equal Exchange," Anon spoke with a serious expression.

"What do you mean? We are talking about a simple body check and a Noble's neck. How is that an Equal Exchange in your eyes?" Frank asked.

"It's not a matter of a simple exchange... it's the matter of my reputation. I am the Elven Queen's personal butler... If you want to check my pockets... you have to give away one head or two," Anon spoke as a smile appeared on his face.

"Don't be too cocky now, Elf. You see all these nobles standing here? Their blood is starting to boil. So, choose your next words carefully," Frank spoke as he looked at Anon with a grim expression.

'Yep, this is my limit,' Anon thought.

"Okay, check my pockets..." Anon spoke as he looked at Luna with a smile.

"Please, Let me do the honor, Madam Luna." Luke immediately stepped up, as he started walking toward Anon.

He pretended to search Anon's other pockets first; after this, he went for the pocket that he put the ring into previously.

"Aaa-ha... found it." Luke shouted as he took out the ring from Anon's pocket.

"I knew it... he was a thief."

"What a fucking race?"

"Pathetic."

"Disgusting."

Everyone started looking at Anon with disgusted expressions and started commenting on him.

"Now, Don't you want to say something, huh... Mr. Elf?" Frank asked as he looked at Anon with a smile.

"Let's just close this matter... right here," Luna spoke as she started walking toward the other side.

"Oi... Don't you want to tell the truth to everyone?" Anon asked Luke.

"Hmm...? What truth?" Luke asked as he turned toward Anon.

'Tell everyone what you did, and after that, cut off your neck with your own hands.' Anon commanded as his eyes shined purple and a menacing smile curved upon his lips.

"I did it... I put the ring in his pocket on purpose. I wanted to make him look like a thief and a fool in front of everyone... I shall pay for my crimes." Luke shouted, and everyone heard him crystal clear.

"What the?" Frank couldn't understand why he would confess this if he wanted to embarrass him.

"What the hell are you saying?" Luna asked as she immediately turned around and looked at Luke with a shocked expression.

Suddenly, Luke started moving toward the cutlery section and picked up a very sharp knife.

"Oi, What are you doing... someone stop him." A man shouted loudly, but before anyone could have reached him, Luke placed the knife on the left end of his neck and slit his throat without any expression of pain on his face.

"Noooo... My son." A woman shouted from the other corner of the room.

Luke's body fell down lifeless on the floor.

"Someone, call a healer immediately." Luna shouted as she grabbed Luke's body.

Anon had a very pleased smile on his face. He turned around and noticed that Frank was looking at him with a grim expression on his face.

"H-How can you...?" Frank murmured in a very scared tone as the glass of wine in his hands started vibrating.

Anon walked up to him with a glass of red wine and clinked his glass with Frank's glass.

"Cheers..." Anon spoke with a psychopathic smile on his face.

?? I wanna boom bang bang with your body, yo, We're gonna rough it up before we take it slow. ??

?? Girl lemme rock you, rock you like a rodeo, It's gonna be a bumpy ride. Hahaha.... it's going to be a very very bumpy ride...??

Anon started singing as he walked out of the room.

"He reminds me of him..." Frank spoke as he tightened his grip around his wine glass.
