"You're waiting for your reward, right? Well you should know that you will get nothing! Not even 1 Rubys or a privilege NOTHING! "
"Bastard I thought so..." I said with a sideways smile.
CHAPTER 12
The Organizer's words were clear enough. I had to leave without reprimanding a few things. But I couldn't just leave!
"Tell me, was this quiz created in such a way that no one could take it? "
"At this point there's no point in lying anymore... Indeed, before you even started this quiz, your failure was already written. "
Suddenly, I was fully confident. I said, "Wouldn't it be nice if I threw it out to the other participants, don't you think?"
"What the ???"
"Give me 10,000 Rubys and I won't tell the others!"
Just as I thought I had gotten the better of him, he looked me straight in the eye and started laughing.
You could tell his laugh was from another galaxy as it was so special.
"AHAHA you are a funny guy! What do you think they'll do to rebel? Even if they did, they can't do anything to me Ahahah!"
I lowered my head. My hair hid my face in shame. What a jerk I am! But I didn't lose hope.
In an arrogant tone, I said to him "This quiz, it is you who created it, right?
He seemed quite disturbed. My voice was much colder than before.
"Yes, it was me."
"I guess we are in the same boat all over the world."
"Yes."
"Imagine me ratting out to the other organizers that you couldn't be bothered to create an impossible quiz. Shame, right?"
The Organizer immediately changed his expression.
"You... You wouldn't do that, would you?"
"And why not."
"Besides, how do you plan to communicate with the other organizers?"
"You should know... I passed your quiz, I'm not just anyone."
"Yes, you are. You are special."
"So I'll ask you again, give me 10,000 Rubys or I'll tell your colleagues that you're just a pushover"
There was no way out. He accepted.
"Here is the deal done"
[Notification log:
- 10 000 Rubys you, we were sponsored by EB-9802 Xilung ]
"Oh is that your first name?"
"You got what you want go away now! "
This time, if he was the one with his face covered in shame. You always end up getting the other side of the coin.
In Asakusa
"I hope Yume is okay," said Toshiko.
"Imagine, it was a trap?" Said Naoki
"Yume is smart! He won't let himself be tricked. I mean, he's mostly a big slacker..."
"Look he's here! "
Still with my hands in my pockets, I approached my friends.
"So what was that surprise? "
"Oh nothing, just 10,000 Rubys" I said
"WHAT 10,000 RUBIES??? That's huge!!!"
"Do you want some? "
"No, you're the one who passed the test. You richly deserve them."
Toshiko was as kind as ever.
The test was over and we left for home.
Flashback to the discussion between Yume and the Organizer.
"Thank you for the Rub... Do you have a funny face?"
"..."
"Oh yes, and also before I leave, I have one last question. What exactly is the Emeralds."
"YOU EVEN DISCOVERED THAT! Don't think you're all-powerful. I can't tell you, but don't worry, you'll find out very soon..."
