Kim Yong Pov
My mind is racing through the things that happened today and my tired mind needed a lot of food to compensate my usage of God's presence.
"HAaaa why do I need to do such a shit job, no one will even recognise my efforts?"
I mumbled it out loud in the room as the last fight concluded of the tournament sending us all the next matches of the tournament.

I looked at the tournament matches and realise that I will only fight him in the finals and before that can he gain three arts of Benjamin, Ben and Alan which are literally the strongest arts he can copy.
'And I need to take care of this little bugs, who plan to attack the fighters tomorrow'
I am currently asking myself why I am even doing all of that whilst walking through the dark corridors out of the arena.
"You really have an annoying abillity or power how you called it"
is Edward saying as he is emerging next to me and walks next to me out of the arena.
The view outside is a bustling city of all infrastuctures of dwarves, elves and humans combined.
Humans with skyscrapers and high advanced buildings, Elves with buildings naturally formed in a tree or houses build in advance and the tree spirits lift them up and the dwarves with their steampunk like buildings.
Lights are flickering on the streets, cars without as well as with wheels are driving or hovering above the ground, people are talking at the wide stairs downwards with excited expressions on their faces, The buildings all had their lights on giving the city a unique feeling of unison.
"Hey Brother do you think I could date a friend of you?"
....and Edward ruining the atmosphere with a weird question which I couldn't even answer since he again spoke in riddles.
^sigh^
I sighed and am looking at his green vertical eyes looking at me like he is a puppy asking his owner for permission to go outside.
"Edward"
"Yeah?"
"Please tell me who you want to date of my friends and then I decide if you can date them."
I took a deep breath to calm my nerves however his puppy like eyes were now sparkling, making me even angrier.
"But don't talk in riddles and tell me who it is!"
Edward is creating distance between us and looks at me with fear in his eyes... well not exactly fear but something similiar I think.
"Her Name is Aidia Page and she is in your class... which even Rica said"
he got more quiet at the end of his sentence however I still heard everything he said, making a vein appear on my chin as my anger is rising even more.
"Did you do the job I gave you or did you stalk the girls while they were walking through Lojodon?"
"Both"
Edward answered my question with a proud look on his face, making the urge to punch him almost irresistible, Edward seemed to felt it and is creating even more distance between us.
"The Banquet is today so we need to stop them before they do anything, Lets go!!"
Edward try to avoid the topic by pushing my mission I gave him, to find out where the hideouts and their headquarters are, he started to walk down the stairs until...
both Edward and Me are looking up towards the edge of the ceiling of the arena or to be more exact in the sky behind it.
"Edward seems like we need to start our operation a bit earlier"
Edward with a serious expression watched the two beings in the sky hiding themself in their Demonic Energy.
"Yeah"
he replied as the two demons in the sky disappeared with some kind of teleportation scroll.
Alan Pov
"Congratulations on getting to the second round of the tournament now being in the top 16 people"
Muzio is talking to us with the brightest smile on his with his black eyes seemingly hiding something.
"Muzio where is Kim Yong right now?"
My question is getting ignored and Muzio simply puts all his attention at Taio and Hudson Zinsopter walking past us.
"Taio find out a solution to our problem.
So that we can copy even more arts and bloodlines"
Is Hudson saying in his grey suit with a black shirt underneath it, highlighting his grey hair as he heads in the banquet hall.
The Banquet wasn't a planned event but the Alliance academy wanted to host a Banquet for the top school students and their teachers.
Of course did they such a Banquet to build connections to Nexus or coerce some into joining their academy.
"Why are we wearing to a Banquet our Nexus uniform?"
Rica completely ignoring what Hudson said, ask something everyone from us, fourteen students thought.
Muzio in his black suit is almost invisible in the shadow.
"That has a specific reason I can't tell you now"
He vanished without further explanation and left us there, standing dumbfounded... or letting me stand there dumbfounded.
'Why is everyone from them so calm?'
Infront of us is a huge gate leading onto the Alliance Academy Banquet Hall, which is about 50 minutes away from the arena, it has a simple design with black and three figures in blue, green and brown.
These three figures are of course humans, elves and dwarves all trying to catch a core in the center of the gate.
"Welcome Nexus elites, please enjoy the Banquet to your heart content."
A twenty year old man with red eyes and brown hair is pointing to the gate that magically opens for us.
"Alan that gates separates the space of the people entering it and these that stand outside of it, wanting to enter it"
Casein is explaining that with an amused tone in his voice.
I ignored it and entered with all the other first years the Banquet hall.
'O-'
"Wow is that a huge Banquet hall!"
I heared Benjamins voice next to me and could only nod my head.
Eight chandeliers in one straight line, these chandeliers covering the width of this hall, multiple rows of food and beverages as well as drinks are on the walls, stretching far into the distance to a couple of staircase leading upstairs.
One floor above us are talking people with all kinds of drinks in their hands.
The pillars are all in more red color with a golden hue to it, that is for everything in this hall, the walls, ceiling and hell even the tables.
"Little Al aren't you forgetting your sister?"
My body froze as Anguisa also my sister is appearing with her dragon eyes activated.
'She even has a dress on today, what in gods name is with her!?'
I felt everyone gazes on me and snapped out of it, bowing a bit while greeting her.
"It is good to see you sister, especially in a dress."
'Please don't punch me, please don't punch me'
My face is calm with a smile on it as I am sweating buckets of cold sweat.
My sister simply looks around me and is disappointed seeing someone not with us?!
She is putting her clean white hands on her cheek highlighting her aquatic blue eyes and hair that has a hue of black in it.
"I hoped to meet Kim Yong and his brother Edward Kim since the Dragon King asked for them."
The Banquet hall turned silent and my sister is showing her talent in water manipulation while looking like a crazy yandere chasing her 'husband'.
"And I like how Edward is very timid around Kim Yong but on the battlefield is he a beast"
'Oh no she is again in her yandere mode!!'
My sister is licking across her finger, scaring the hell out of me.
"This Banquet is not for such activities Mrs. Burner"
Jette appeared in a red dress showing her curvy body that looks like an hourglass, also showing off her control over fire.
Suddenly both stopped and went different ways leaving us students of both schools conversing.
'Their school has no one important for the story or strong enough to survive the story'
I concluded while sitting in a corner of the hall, watching everyone talking.
"You really are not a social person but that is probably why your observations are good...sometimes"
Caseins voice is entering my left ear but I don't care to look at him, as I am watching Mi Sang Hee laughing with all the girls of our group plus John and Diana her group girls.
"Casein what happened earlier?"
I asked with a serious expression, feeling that something is seriously wrong at the exact moment.
"Don't worry and enjoy the Banquet, you can't even help them even if you want to help them now"
"What?"
Casein appeared facing me, smiling as he looks at me mockingly.
"The only thing you can do right now is enjoying and not questioning what Kim Yong is doing.
Believe me it is better for you and the others to not know what Kim Yong is doing to protect you."
^Booom^
An explosion occured in the distance, puts everyone in a panic like state.
"Oh so they couldn't finish it silently"
Is Casein saying whilst teacher calm them down saying that two teachers wanted to test out a new spell.
The Banquet continued for 2 hours and then we all left to our hotel to sleep.
"Oh so you are the young phoenix"
A shrill and dangerous voice is emerging behind me.
^Swoosh^ ^spurt^
"These fricking fiends are really so annoying to deal with"
I turned around seeing Kim Yong covered in dark red blood and the fiends two hands dissolving in the nights light.
