âYoung Kingâs PoVâ
âAre you sure, your majesty? Didnât you come to the capital just to observe it?â My royal guard, Yogul asked me.
âItâs fine, Iâve been thinking to enter the magic academy from a long time ago. And I have great allies, anyway,â I answer Yogul as my eyes stare to the distant, and Ren and the othersâ face appeared.
Without my knowing, my lips had already formed a grin.
âI see⦠Youâve trusted them into that extend, huh,â (Yogul)
âIndeed, even though Iâve only met them recently, the journey to the capital felt long enough, as weâve been together since weâre kids, itâs comfortable, they donât seek money, prestige, or others, theyâre just having fun together, making me wonder maybe I should drop the thought of taking the throne and just join them,â I leak a small laugh.
âBut youâre the king-â (Yogul)
âI know, Yogul. I know. My heart had still not waver yet, letâs rest, donât forget to distance yourself when youâre following me, Iâm going with a bunch of sword saints ranks, even though Ren hasnât reached the sword saint rank yet, I got a hunch that heâs the most dangerous one,â (Young King)
âYes, your majesty,â Yogul bowed and entered his room.
Iâm currently standing at a balcony of a mansion Iâve bought before, Iâve just arrived today here, at the capital, after traveling together with Albus, Ren, Sen, Alfred, and Edreale.
Itâs not a long journey, but we experienced a lot of things from it.
âRenâ¦â I slowly muttered as I stared at the sky.
When Ren acts as a leader and commands everyone, it felt natural and everyone immediately obeys it, even me myself felt natural to be commanded by him.
How could he possess that much charisma? Will I be able to be a great king if I try to learn from him?
*Sigh*
I leak out a small sigh and went back to my room to sleep. Letâs think about it next time, tomorrow is a big day, I need to rest.
My mother will be there.

â3rd Person PoVâ
Clank!
Peterâs fight continued.
Peterâs excellent skill at sword gives him an advantage even if he didnât use his sword saint rank power completely. His swordsmanship looks like a dance, a sword dance style.
(Heâs good) (Oz)
Oz observes the spectators, and his gaze stopped at the queen that looking at Peter with a frown.
Oz made a slight grin, but when he saw the one sitting next to her, he suddenly gasped in surprise, the person heâs looking is grinning broadly towards him.
(OLD MAN!?) (Oz)
(Who?) (Fenrir)
(Iâll tell you later) (Oz)
Alfred caught the sight of Ozâs looking at the VIP spectators and whispers.
âThe one that sits at a chair similar to a throne is the queen, while the two old men sitting beside her are the magic god, Oxius, and the sword god, Kyron,â (Alfred)
Oz just nodded and shifted his gaze away from the old man Kyronâs gaze, even though he already knows his identity, seeing Ozâs eager to know, Alfred continues.
âWhile the other five people besides the sword god, Kyron are the five great generals of Grandaria. The one sitting next to the sword god, Kyron is the supreme general, George Tudwin, the strongest general of Grandaria kingdom,â Alfred whispered as if they are gossipping about somebody.
âThe strongest general, huhâ¦â Oz stares at the strongest general of Grandaria kingdom, George Tudwin.
âThere is general Bruce Tellen, the master of swords. Edward Egen, the bloody spear. Emily Beller, the valkyrie. And Esmeralda Stivania, the sorcerer,â (Alfred)
âHm⦠You know a lot of them, Alfred,â (Oz)
âWell, itâs part of my job to know about strong people,â (Alfred)
âI seeâ¦â (Oz)
Oz shifted his gaze back to the battle. Peterâs opponent is at the master swordsman rank, he started to realize that he had no chance at all on facing Peter that didnât even sweat until now.
As he started to lose his patience, his attacks became more aggressive, but it also gives a lot of opportunity for a strategy type fighter like Peter.
Clank!
Peter made his opponentâs spear flew, and point his sword to his neck.
âThe winner is, Peter Godwinson!!!!!!â The commentator of the fight announced Peterâs win.
Oz and co stand up and clap their hands together with the other spectators. Peter stare to the direction of the VIP spectators for a moment, but he immediately shifted his gaze to Oz and co, and give them a smile of victory.
âHmph, since when does that guy become like that,â (Oz)
âI think heâs imitating you, Ren,â (Sen)
âW-what?â (Oz)
(Hm⦠Judging masterâs behavior that likes to use a cool lines nad act cool, it really does looks like what youâll do when you win, master) (Reo)
(Reo⦠Itâs rare for you to comment about me like that) (Oz)
âAh! By the way, does all of you win your fights? Wait, thatâs a stupid question, huh,â Oz immediately cancel his question when he saw his sword saint friends.
âMr. Ren! Please go downstairs! It will be your fight after this!â The female staff shouted to Oz from the distance.
Oz give her a sign of him understands with a nod, and say to the others: âWell, itâs my turn, wish me good luck, guys,â
âYea, I hope you lose, Ren,â (Alfred)
âYup, please lose, Ren,â (Edreale)
âWish you bad luck, Ren,â (Sen)
âI hope your opponent Is the supreme general, Ren,â (Albus)
âYou guys⦠Canât you be nicer to me? I saved you guys before, you know?â Oz rebuked their wish of bad luck to him and went downstairs.
When he arrived at the fighter waiting room, the female staff had already waiting at him, and Peter is on his way of walking to the spectator seat to join the others.
âHey, Peter, good fight, even though youâre only toying at your opponent though,â Oz said with a wry smile.
Peter leak a small laugh.
âDidnât I learn it from you? So, itâs your fight after this, good luck, Ren,â (Peter)
âThanks, youâre the only one who wish me good luck,â (Oz)
âReally? Then itâs my mistake for saying that, Iâm taking back my words, please lose, Ren,â Peter finally said and went to the spectator seat upstairs.
âT-that bastardâ¦â (Oz)
After swearing at Peter with a small voice, Oz approached the female staff that already waiting for him.
âMr, Ren. Good luck, itâs your turn now,â Her kind attitude made Oz somehow suspicious, but before Oz could suspect anything, the commentator suddenly announced the next battle, and the gate into the arena opened.
âNow!!! Itâs the last fight of the 3rd test!!! It might be the most intense fight, or even be the fastest fight!!! The participant, please enter the arena!!!â (Commentator)
Oz gets out of the gate, and enters the arena with his defiler of the banished, Ataraxia, in its staff form. But when he entered the arena, his opponent is nowhere to be seen. Oz becomes confused, and his suspicion suddenly raised, he immediately shifts his gaze to the old man Kyron that pretends to didnât sense his gaze.
Oz is not the only one who got confused, the other spectators also started to ask each other about the other participant whereabout.
âWhat is happening?â (Edreale)
âI donât know, but it seems that Renâs opponent is not showing himself,â (Alfred)
ââ¦.â Sen just silently stared at the arena.
âItâs a special fight, set by the headmaster!!! The last participant, Ren Arken, will be fighting one of the great generals!!! To the honorable great generals!!! Anyone willing to fight the participant may enter the arena!!!â (Commentator)
âWhat the f*$%!?â Oz reflectively swore.
The spectators started to become noisy, the five generals look at each other, and suddenly, the dark grey-haired, Emily Beller, the valkyrie stands. Judging from her looks, her age seems not that different from Ozâs, she looks like a child wearing expensive armor.
âIâll-â (Emily)
Before the valkyrie could challenge Oz, the supreme general, George Tudwin suddenly stands.
âS-supreme general,â The valkyrie bows to the supreme general.
Seeing the rare spectacle of the supreme general and the other great general trying to do something is something that rarely seen by the spectator. The battle of a participant and a general had never occurred before. The whole arena suddenly becomes silent.
âIâll. Be your opponent,â The supreme general said, making all of the spectator, even the queen, surprised.
*Sound of something crashed to the ground*
The supreme general jumped to the arena. When he landed, a sound similar to the sound of an explosion sounded, and clouds of dust covered the arena. Oz calmly gazes at the supreme general that lands in such a grand way. Inside of Ozâs mind, heâs swearing to a certain someone.
(Albus you bastard! Your wish comes true! My opponent is INDEED the supreme general!) (Oz)
(Seriously!? Why does it become like this!?) (Oz)
