“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.
