"Uh why?" Sakamoto wondered in his heart, why the attack he did didn't impress anything.
Confusion swept through his heart, his body shivered. Sakamoto is afraid that he is the only one who doesn't have any abilities.
Everyone looked at him in surprise. A cynical look started to appear in the eyes of the king and minister.
Sakamoto tried again, but still didn't deal strong enough damage. After trying many times, Sakamoto finally gave up.
He returned to his starting position with his eyes lowered. His face withered in disappointment, if he could cry then he would, but it was enough for him to embarrass himself.
"OK! I think today is enough to prove your skills! Mr. Amiru, Mr., Zuru, Mr. Adred, and Mr. Haru you will be given a special room, and prepared luxury weapons and armor. Meanwhile, for a swindler like this young man, he will be thrown in prison."
Sakamoto became surprised, he was already considered a fraud. "Wait, why do I have to go to jail?"
"Are you still questioning what wrong you have done?" Vilion stared scornfully, he didn't want to hear the words from Sakamoto's despicable mouth. "You are a human who appears out of nowhere, then thinks of yourself as a hero."
Sakamoto was silent, he wanted to answer but, it's true that if he suddenly appeared and even his memory was lost, of course every opinion that came out of his mouth would be useless.
"If you still want to live, you better enjoy the rest of your life in the cage!"
"Enough!"
Suddenly an old man came into the practice arena. After they turned towards the source of the sound, it was Nazren walking towards them.
"What is it Mr Nazren? Do you want to protect this young man? Do you have a secret that you want to save him?" Vilion didn't give Nazren a chance to say something that made Sakamoto avoid the policy that had come out of his mouth.
"I understand Prime Minister! However, if we only judge them in terms of physical ability it is very unfair. Because, tomorrow we will still have a magic-based strength session."
Vilion put on a sullen face, he hated to admit it. "What can be expected from this young man? His physique is useless to be a fighter. What's more, being asked to use magic would be something ridiculous."
"Prime Minister, we can't judge a person's potential just by his physical strength!"
They glared at each other, differing opinions causing the air around them to feel extremely heavy.
Vilion turned to King Aaron, he nodded.
"All right! I will fulfill your wish! However, when he proves to be powerless, you have to admit that he is a con artist trying to become a hero for this country."
Vilion gave a condescending greeting. Nazren tried to stay calm.
"Okay! I agree with your words!"
After hearing this, Vilion looked at Sakamoto. "Hey, you!" Sakamoto raised his head to look at Vilion. "Maybe this time you survived, but tomorrow you will go to prison if you can't prove that you are a person who deserves to be the savior of this country."
Only mouths were tightly locked, not a single word came out of Sakamoto's mouth.
***
After that incident, Sakamoto got very different treatment. The four friends were placed in a luxurious room with a soft mattress and delicious food.
Meanwhile, Sakamoto just stayed in a very outdated room. Even cobwebs become decorations in the room.
Sakamoto didn't complain about it. He sat on a bed made of wood, a cold room with a dusty floor.
"Huh… I don't understand what's wrong with me? Am I really a fraud? Who exactly am I, why can't I remember where I came from." Sakamoto was angry with himself both hands clasped his head.
Like boiling water, Sakamoto forced himself to remember the past. But all in vain, nothing happened at all.
Sakamoto lay on the bed which didn't make him feel much better at all. "I think tomorrow the days that I will have will be much worse!" The image of King Aaron and Vilion's eyes flashed through his mind. "What's with those eyes?"
Such a condescending gaze did not regard Sakamoto as a human.
***
King Aaron and Vilion discussed the problem they had just encountered.
"I knew that one of them was a harbinger of disaster!" With the determination of the legend that has been ingrained in his brain, Aaron becomes very resentful of Sakamoto.
"Your Majesty, should we kill that young man? What's more, Nazren seems to want to defend him all the time!" Vilion doesn't want this problem to continue for too long. He wanted to immediately extinguish the fire that was seen before it grew bigger.
"I agree with you, but we can't do that!" As a king, Aaron wanted to be seen as very wise. Establishing punishment without clarity would tarnish him as a king. This very high self-confidence has made him a king who is famous for his wisdom.
"So what should we do?"
"We'd better go along with Nazren's wishes. After it's proven that the young man doesn't have any abilities, we put him in prison then we send him to Heaven!"
King Aaron smirked.
"I see! I understand!" Vilion was also happy with Aaron's words.
On the next day…
The second training session was led by Nazren. They do the exercises on different pitches. Each of them stood in front of a small ball the size of a baseball.
"Last night I slept very well!" said Amiru very proudly.
"Do you think you're the only one who gets the best service? I got it too!" replied arrogantly Adred.
"Heh… it turns out that you can still talk after seeing my abilities yesterday."
"Of course that's just the beginning!"
The debate continued until Nazren came. The old man glanced at the five men in front of him.
"OK! Today is the second practice! This time you have to check what magic element suits you! You try to hold the ball in front of you and imagine the energy flowing towards the ball. If the ball has already emitted red, yellow, blue, brown, or green, it's a sign that you already have magic power!"
Then they started to pick up the ball. They focus and try to channel the energy from within their bodies.
The first to get the change was Haru. The ball turns blue, a sign that the elements that can be used are two elements between water and lightning, especially the blue that is emitted very brightly like electricity.
