The highschoolers smiled awkwardly. "Haha… a typical Isa style." whispered Nagi. "He is good. Don't you think your highness?" Kazuna asked.
Isa glancing at him taunted, "Who said so? He isn't comparable to even a quarter of my strength."
The highschoolers hearing him sighed. "Oh, we see." they responded together.
"King Kenzo! King Kenzo! King Kenzo!" the middle schoolers cheered.
Alan once again stepping onto the crease bowled harshly towards Kenzo. "Let's see how you shoot that!" Alan threw a shot which was aimed for his face.
Azazel grasping the sight called out, "It's a bouncer captain watch out!!"
Kenzo hearing his voice smirked. Tracing the ball which was about to hit his face Kenzo ducked down and as soon as the ball paced his trajectory he stood up and smashed the ball as an upper cut aimed behind. The wicket keeper unable to grasp the ball, it once again flew towards the audience's seat at the middle schooler's side flying towards Azazel.
Azazel eyeing the ball moved backward and backward aiming its fall. As soon as the ball fell down he instantly grasped it in his hands. Looking at the ball he peeked Kenzo who gleamed at his sight.
"Open your eyes Azazel and trace my returns carefully. For this time, I will show you a cricketer's dignity!" Kenzo declared.
Azazel hearing his words stood shaken, his heart beating wildly with passion."Yes! Your highness!" he answered back as Heber and Damian eyeing each other smiled.
Kenzo turning around looked at Alan who took deep breaths. "What? Even a bouncer didn't work? Haha, thanks, for giving me another six instead!!" he mocked. Alan once again headed back. Isa revealing a frown on his face tapped his finger restless. Rauf and Nidou glanced silent.
"What's wrong Isa? It's surprising to see you this quiet?" Rauf asked staring at the pitch. Isa instantly gleamed.
"It's nothing Rauf. Looks like Alan might need a little push this time."
"Will you give it to him then?" Rauf asked.
Isa shaking his rejected, "No, I've given my orders already. The one who will give him that push, is standing right before him."
Haruf hearing his words smiled. Aaron tracing him asked playfully, "Hey big guy, you seem to be enjoying a lot hun? We are on a great disadvantage by the way."
Haruf not effected even by the conversion of events responded, "Haha, Aaron my boy, you are way too hasty. Alan is the type to change the tides at the very end. So just enjoy the fun till the last ball. Even Isa knows that."
The highschoolers endorsed, "Yeah… you're right indeed." Alan once again rushing towards the pitch thought, "Seems like my sense of taste is drastically declining while I cannot even sense his throw of sixes. I should really end this quickly…" Stepping on the popping crease he threw the ball towards Kenzo again. The ball with a slow spin bounced on the pitched.
"It's a slow delivery this time!" pointed Adam. Kenzo stepped ahead, "A perfect chance ball!"
"Witness it Alan Rex Lorenzo! This king's Ice Empire of hail!!" he called out.
As soon as the bat smashed the ball. A glass cracked by the impact while the ball blazed straight towards the high schoolers pavilion. Shards of splintered glass were falling around the entire stadium. The ball aimed straight to where Isa sat was effortlessly caught by him who glared at Kenzo in return.
Suddenly Ren and Orion called out, "Snow?!"
The glasses shards which were falling weren't glass to begin with however, were pieces of shiny transparent ice crystals falling around the stadium under the scorching sun.
"Hun…?" Alan asked in wonder keeping his hand under the shards which fell and instantly turned into water.
"Falling snow under scorching sun…" gleamed Helios enjoying the view.
"Yahoo!! It's his highness's Ice Empire of hail strike!!" cheered Heber and Faris together.
"It's Beautiful!! Right Sera, Sera, Cassiel, Ryan?" Adam excitedly caught the snow.
Seraph and Cassiel nodded while Ryan eyed Kenzo satisfied. "It not bad coming from a fake king." he remarked. Damian sitting above sighed, "You still think of him as a fake king after witnessing all that? Really, you are still kids." Ines playing with the snow playfully gleamed at Gabriel which Gabriel returned back.
Feng at his sight stood with his mouth a gape. "He could smile?!!" he thought shocked. Seles sitting above enjoyed the view. "Wonderful." he stated.
"Wonderful is it? No! It's just the greatest!" Gabriel corrected him just like Kenzo does.
Xavier grasping the snow smiled gently. "Beautiful…" he whispered with an angelic beam. The middle schoolers hearing his praise stared at him stunned. "An angel…?" asked Ryan entranced.
"Xavi, Xavi really looks like an angel…" endorsed Adam double entranced while Poseidon, Helios and Seraph too stared.
Grasping them staring at him Xavier smiled, "Hm?" The middle schoolers taken aback by his sweetness turned around.
"Ah, my heart…" whispered Heber surprised.
"I think I might get spell bound." uttered Feng baffled.
Seles looking at Xavier thought, "So he will go next hun. To think that the king will leave the finishing blow for him. It makes me wonder…" Getting hit by snowflakes one after another Ezekiel suddenly shot up. "What the?!" he freaked out. Poseidon hearing his voice turned around. Helios grasping his hesitation walked towards Ezekiel. Ezekiel scratching his hairs traced the falling ice crystals. "What is happening~?" he yawned confused. "Right now it Kenzo's turn. It's his fifth ball and he recently used Ice Empire of hail. That's why the wind is so chilly and its showing." Helios sat beside him explaining the whole situation "You seemed to have a good rest hun, Ezekiel?" he asked smiling. Ezekiel yawning once again nodded.
"Yeah captain… I was really tired… let me sleep for a bit more…" he replied resting his head on his shoulder.
After a second of realization Ezekiel shot up sitting as straight as a needle remembering everything that happened before Kenzo's turn. He instantly gulped. "I'm done for!!" he shrieked in his thoughts.
"But I wasn't wrong as well…" he continued to think dismayed. Helios staring at him sighed. His expression suddenly turning into a serious one, he threatened, "What's wrong? Do you want to be thrown into a river so badly that you are still sitting beside me?" Ezekiel hearing his words shook his head staying silent for a while.
Glancing at Poseidon who stood before him talking to Xavier he whispered earnestly, "You know captain, right now… rather than drowning in a river or a sea. I am much more scared for facing Vice-captain Poseidon." Ebraham and Lucifer gulped nervously.
Adam grasping Ezekiel's sight called out, "Ah! Eze, Eze is awake!" Azazel on the other hand stared at Kenzo mesmerized. A light brighter than any other covered his eyes as he clutched the ball in his fist tightly.
"Captain… is this your pride?" he asked mystified.
Kenzo walked over to Alan. "Haha! Don't tell me you're awestruck?" he teased. Alan turning to face him asked back delighted, "And what if I say I am?" Alan gazing at his palm smiled dismayed, "Not as if I can see it." he thought.
Kenzo blinked his eyes over his remark soon smirking, "That's good then. Since, I am about to win this challenge after all. Let me show you something else as well."
Alan sensing his presence replied, "Letting you win the challenge won't satisfy my king your highness. So, I don't think I am giving you an opportunity to take it away, however, I gladly accept you showing me something good." Kenzo hearing the words his highness clicked his tongue cross, "Tch! That guy again. Like I told you before, there is only one king in this world and that's me! How dare he snatch that title away from my grasp?" He gritted at Isa annoyed who smiled back at him sarcastically.
Alan picked the ball up. "I think there's a misunderstanding Kenzo." he told realizing.
Kenzo turned around, "What?"
"I don't call Isa, his highness as a title or something. He is actually from the royal family." apprised Alan.
"What?! Are you serious?!" Heber, Feng and Adam uttered shocked.
"Indeed, Isa Sikandar II is the second son of the current prime minister of Pakistan, Mir Omer Sikandar. It's not that his title is like that, Isa really belongs in the position of a crown prince if seen from a monarchy perspective. That's why to respect him everyone calls him his highness." explained Cassiel as Damian nodded.
"Now that's news to me." Helios wondered surprised as Seraph agreed.
