Aran had continuously observed the memorial building for a week. He had observed all the people around there and everything that was connected to them.
After thinking about all the possibilities, he finally thought of a plan and bought the necessary things from the closest town.
As aran was heading towards the memorial, he used his vision and confirmed the two soldiers who were inside the chamber surveillance room, above the memorial building, observing the memorial chamber which was filled with ancient artifacts.
Close to the memorial building, there was a large room for palace surveillance. A total of four people were in that room, monitoring every move of people in the area of the Cardinal palace, through almost a hundred Monitoring Devices.
Those four observers and some official members were the only ones who were allowed to go to the memorial chamber surveillance room.
Since the memorial chamber had to be observed twenty-four hours a day, there were three shifts of people working solely on that. But in case of emergencies, if the observers had to leave that room, then two of the four people from the palace surveillance would take their places until the two returned.
Aran had observed all of these people and learned about all of their special skills regarding surveillance. The two people who were observing the chambers now were also, the ones who set up the Devices for worldwide transmission of the tournament. Aran had found out about this as they usually used to set up the transmission devices before the tournament.
As aran confirmed all these things, he took out a small pouch from his ring and gave it to arrax who was on his shoulder and said
" It's your turn. Just like we practised. And remember, one mistake can cost everything! "
After taking the pouch from aran, arrax got off of his shoulder and headed elsewhere but aran continued to head towards the memorial building.
As he got close to the memorial, he found a bench there and sat down on it, watching the Chamber surveillance room and the palace surveillance room, auto g for arrax to finish his part of the plan.
***
After leaving aran, arrax immediately ran toward the kitchen area which was close to the Cardinal palace and the memorial building.
As arrax was running, when he came across an area with no monitoring devices, he suddenly changed his form into the servant, who usually serves food and drinks to the palace surveillance crew and went into the kitchen. Since that servant didn't have any work until lunchtime, he was watching the tournament with others.
As arrax got into the kitchen, he looked for the favourite drinks of the surveillance crew and poured four glasses. Since the other workers were busy preparing the food for the royal members, and that servant was a regular person there, they just ignored him.
After pouring the glasses, Arrax took out the pouch aran gave him and it contained a bottle of sedative potion. He mixed the sedative potion with the drinks and put all four glasses on a serving plate. After that, he picked up the plate and started to walk towards the room of palace surveillance.
As the arrax in the form of the servant got there, the guards recognised the servant and let him in, and the arrax entered the palace surveillance room.
When the four surveillance crew members saw him, they started to wonder why he was there since it was unusual for him to bring them food, at this hour.
" Mr Colin, why are you here at this hour? " one of them asked. Since aran had taught arrax what to say, he didn't take any time to reply.
" Sorry for disturbing you, sir. Since everyone is at the arena, watching the tournament and you have to watch it through the monitoring devices, I thought I might bring you some drinks. Here, drink them before they get warm! " Arrax said as he put the plate down on a table, that was close to him.
" I am leaving for the tournament, so, enjoy your drinks! "
" Thank you, Mr, Colin."
"You're welcome! "
Arrax said and left that room. As he got out, he quickly walked away from there to the same place where he once changed his form and then he used his vision to look at the surveillance room, to see if the crew is drinking it.
As arrax waited for a few minutes, the surveillance crew started to drink it. Looking at that, arrax immediately changed his form into a random person and ran towards the arena for the next part of the plan.
***
After getting close to the arena, Arrax looked for the mana-flow controlling device, which was connected to the monitoring devices in the arena.
When he found the device, attached to the wall, he instantly walked close to it as if he was curious about it and slowly extended his transformed human hand and touched the device.
As arrax touched it, he infused his lightning energy to overload the mana in that device. When he did that, the device got burned from the inside out and arrax immediately ran back to the form-changing area.
He then again changed his form into a guard who works close to the arena and once again ran toward the palace surveillance room.
Looking at a guard, running towards there with panic, the guards in there asked him, what happened and he said its an emergency and entered the surveillance room.
Looking at a guard barging into the surveillance room, panting, one of the crew members asked with shock,
" What? What happened? "
" The mana, the mana flow controlling device is burning and the worldwide transmission can't happen without it. The battle of the final round has already started sir! "
Hearing that, the crew members there understood what had happened. They knew if the worldwide transmission got interrupted, then it will cause a huge problem for the Cardinal family. So the captain of the surveillance crew immediately looked at the two of the members there and said
" You two, go and inform the two of them above and tell them to fix it immediately! Go! "
The two of them heard the captain and they immediately started to move. After giving the information to the crew, arrax also left from there.
The two crew members instantly headed towards the memorial building and after informing the guards, both of them climbed the stairs and went into the chamber surveillance room.
As they got there and opened the door, the two of them who were observing the memorial chamber asked what happened. The crew members explained it immediately and they switched places with them.
The two of them, who were observing the memorial until then, left the room immediately and ran towards the arena to replace the burned mana flow controlling device as fast as they can. Since they were the ones skilled in that device and they were responsible for checking it, before the tournament, they had to fix it immediately.
*****
Aran was sitting on the bench, looking at the surveillance room. As he saw arrax serving them the drink and leaving, he also waited for the crew there to drink it.
After a few minutes, as the crew members took the first sips, aran instantly got up and moved into the memorial building.
As aran tried to enter the memorial, one of the guards stopped him. But he showed them his badge which he got the first day he arrived there. After confirming that he was a participant and he hasn't visited the memorial chamber before that, they let him in.
Aran walked through the hallway guarded by dozens of soldiers and entered the checking room. As he entered, a guard there checked his body if he had anything suspicious.
After leaving his storage rings there, Aran entered the next room, which was small and empty. But the room had a device implanted in it that checks the entrant's full body again using mana.
After going through that checking, aran entered the final room. It was the chamber of the memorial!
The room was rich in mana since many ancient Artifacts used by the ancestors of the Cardinal family were hanging on the walls there.
Aran slowly walked into the chamber looking at them one by one. He was only allowed to look around for less than half an hour and he had to leave that place before that.
As aran continued to look at the artifacts on the wall, he activated his vision and slowly looked up to see if the ones who were observing the chamber are down, by the sedative. But the observers seemed still conscious. So he waited for another five minutes.
After looking through different artifacts, as aran got to the centre of the chamber, where the sword technique book was, he again looked above and this time, both of the observers had gotten unconscious!
Aran immediately started to draw the formation and sent the signal to arrax. As arrax appeared there in the form of a cat with his mana pen, Aran immediately summoned the book and gave it to arrax and slowly took the book from the display glass and told arrax to start.
Looking at the book arrax realised, It was the biggest book he had ever copied. So he used his full speed and started to write.
Aran continued to look above to make sure the observers doesn't wake up by any mistake and he remained like that for almost ten minutes. By then Arrax had copied most of the book and only less than fifty pages were remaining.
As aran started to feel joy, thinking that everything was going according to his plan,
" Keeeeek"
he heard the creaking sound of the door opening. Hearing that with shock, he instantly turned around and looked at the door. There he saw someone opening the door.
Aran had made sure that no is lurking around the memorial building and he thought that no one might leave the final battle of the tournament just to see the memorial chamber which they can see anytime until they are in there.
But he was wrong. There was someone who entered the memorial, apart from him.
It was Elissa!
As Elissa entered the room and looked at aran, from nearly fifty feet away, she saw aran standing, with a shocked face. As she moved her eyes, she also saw the cat which was with aran, and now it had a pen in its hand and it was writing a book.
Looking at that hundreds of thoughts flowed through her mind and as she started at aran and aran started back, the awkwardness that filled the room, beat the richness of mana in there.
