Faith exited the bathroom and started changing into new clothes.
Suddenly, something triggered inside her mind, and she began to sing.
?? I have a boyfriend, who loves me. Even if he’s not an elf, he still loves me. He has power, he has money, and I should call him “Honey.” ??
Suddenly, she turned around to look at the mirror and noticed that Anon was still sitting on the couch behind the mirror.
As soon as Faith looked at Anon, she sealed her lips and gazed at him with a very embarrassed and shy expression.
“You should start calling me ‘honey,'” Anon said as he took a sip from his teacup and smiled at Faith.
“N-No… I thought… you were out… Wait! If you’re here, then who’s competing in the Academy Exchange Event? Your match was scheduled for 9:30 today… It’s already 9:45… Anon, you have to go there now,” Faith shouted as she looked at Anon.
“Yeah? Well, look at this. I’m not going because… I’m already there,” Anon replied with a calm tone.
“What do you mean by that? You’re still here. How can you be in two different locations at the same time?” Faith asked with a confused expression.
“Oh, I can be anywhere, love,” Anon spoke as he grabbed Faith’s waist and rolled her into his arms.
“Ouch… Being romantic after that night, huh…?” Faith asked as she sniffed Anon’s breath.
“Why? Is there a problem with being romantic?” Anon asked with a charming smile. 𝒃𝒆𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎
“No, but I hope… you can say that to the Queen once you tell her that you were doing this instead of going to the Academy Exchange Event,” Faith spoke as she released herself from Anon’s hands.
“Do you have the thing that shows you the live footage of what’s going on inside the Colosseum?” Anon asked.
“You mean the screen?” Faith asked.
“Yeah, turn it on,” Anon replied with a smile.
“Okay, here…” Faith spoke as she touched a button on her dressing table, and suddenly images started projecting on the mirror.
It was the live footage of the Colosseum, and on the screen, two participants were dueling. Surprisingly, one of them was Jule.
“Wait… You? Here? Then who is he? Ahhh, I can’t understand this,” Faith shouted with a confused expression.
“Calm down, love. Let me explain this to you. You see that guy standing over there? He’s just a clone that I created,” Anon replied.
“What? Your clone? Wait! You can make clones? That’s illegal, don’t you know that? I don’t want to see my boyfriend in jail before…” Suddenly, Anon kissed Faith, sealing her lips.
After a moment of silence, Anon separated his lips from Faith’s and looked at her with a smile.
“Calm down… There’s no one strong enough here who can put me in jail,” Anon spoke.
“Really?” Faith asked with an innocent expression.
“Really,” Anon replied.
Suddenly, Faith hugged Anon tightly and asked for a promise, “Promise me that you’ll never leave me, no matter what happens. Promise me.”
“I promise,” Anon replied after thinking for a bit.
“You can’t break your promise. You told me that you never break your word, right?” Faith spoke as she looked at Anon’s face with a smile.
“Don’t worry, love. I won’t break my promise,” Anon replied.
“Good… Now, explain something to me,” Faith asked.
“What?”
“How can you control a clone from this distance? From what I’ve seen, a clone can only be controlled in an area of 300 to 500 meters. So, how are you doing that?” Faith asked.
“Well, do you remember the time when I used the Ancient Trumpet’s skill?” Anon asked as he touched Faith’s cheek.
“In the Colosseum, your first match, right?” Faith spoke.
“Yes, at that time, did you see a snake that materialized and bound my whole body and helped me direct the skill toward the sky?” Anon asked.
“What? No. There wasn’t a snake. We saw you looking at the sky with some weird noises coming out of your body, and suddenly you roared so loudly that the clouds started fading away,” Faith replied.
Suddenly, a confused expression appeared on Anon’s face.
“Wait, are you saying that… there was nothing over my body when I looked toward the sky?” Anon asked.
“No… It was just you standing in the middle of the Colosseum,” Faith replied.
‘What? Did Link use some type of invisible magic spell?’ Anon wondered as he looked at Faith.
“Well, there was a snake… He must’ve used an invisible skill to hide from you guys. He’s the one who’s controlling that clone’s body over there,” Anon replied.
“Wait… A snake. What was your name again? I’m sorry, I didn’t pay attention to it… When we were… together,” Faith asked.
“Anon… Anon Agreil,” Anon replied.
“Oh my God…. You are ‘The Anon,'” Faith spoke as she immediately covered her mouth with her hand.
“Hmm…? ‘The Anon’?” Anon asked with a confused expression.
“Yes, when you told me about the zombie thing back in the Dark Elven Territory… I did some research on this stuff, and it goes back to the Human kingdom. It’s where this thing started from. They came out of the ‘Nightmare Forest’ in enormous amounts, and all seven human kingdoms fought as one. They had huge forces out there, but they still failed to kill even a quarter of those things. It was a losing battle for the humans, but then, sitting on a golden bird, came their savior.
He wielded two black sickles in both of his hands and commanded an army of Ogres. He was a handsome youngman with red sparkling eyes and muscular body.
He fought off the zombies with his sickles and killed the biggest zombie of them all, THE TROLL ZOMBIE. It was you, the saviour of the human kingdom, ‘THE ANON,’ you are written as one of the heroes in the Human kingdom’s history books. You are a legend, even the Queen knows you.” Faith spoke.
“Wow… I’m famous,” Anon spoke.
