Seven minutes later, the next challenge was ready. The announcer then shouts, "Ladies and gentlemen, now is time for the third challenge!" The crowd cheered and screamed, wondering what Prince Richard would do this time. The announcer then proceeds and says, "The next challenge is going to be based on reflexes! Prince Richard is going to be blindfolded for three minutes and twenty rapid firing minigun cannons are going to be shooting at him! The crowd then starts to gasp in shock. The announcer then begins to start talking again, "Don't worry, the bullets are not real, and they won't kill him, but they do sting you, so I recommend you to not touch them." Prince Richard then sighs and says, "Just get on with its man." Two guys go up to Prince Richard and put a blindfold on him. They then guided him to the area where the guns are at. One of the guys said, "You can't leave this area. You can't reflect, counter, or touch the bullets. Prince Richard then nodded his head. The announcer then shouts on the megaphone, "Get ready…. get set…. dodge them bullets boy!" Every twenty sets of those guns start to lock onto Prince Richard and then began shooting." Prince Richard starts leaving after images, dodging every bullet coming towards his direction. He began to walk closer and towards them leaving the area he was supposed to be in. Everybody went silent. The announcer then starts to shout, "What is this?! Prince Richard is getting closer and closer towards the guns, and they still seem can't be capable of landing a single blow on him!" Prince Richard is now close to one of the guns face to face. He then smiles and says, "Only peasants call this a challenge. So slow. So weak." He then grabs the gun with his bare hands and destroys it. Everybody was left speechless. Prince Richard then proceeded to do the same thing over and over again until every one of these guns were destroyed. The announcer then shouts in the megaphone, "Prince Richard managed to destroy every gun with his bare hands…. I don't know if this is allowed but he did manage to beat the challenge. The crowd starts to scream and chant Prince Richard's name. Prince Richard then takes off the blindfold and begins to wave at everyone.
Narrator: After all, four challenges Richard flawlessly cleared them all and now it is time for the real challenge to see what Richard can do.
Ten minutes later, Prince Richard is in the break room drinking water. King Ellington enters the room and congratulates him. King Ellington says, "My son, you left me speechless and proud out there." Prince Richard replies, "These challenges are meant for this peasant's father. I told you that no one can beat a royale after all." Prince Richard then continues to drink his water. King Ellington then says, "More and more people are coming in to watch you complete the final challenge. They say that the final challenge is probably one of the hardest one out of all four of them." Prince Richard then finishes his bottle of water. He replies, "Oh really now? Probably was that hard for them peasants' fathers. I have completed every single one of these challenges with no struggle father. This is all but a game for me, father." King Ellington then replies, "Don't get too cocky now son. The reason why the fourth one is the hardest is because they added up the first three challenges in order to make the fourth one harder." Prince Richard then smiles and replies, "Don't worry father, nothing can beat someone with royal blood pumping through their veins." King Ellington then starts to leave the room and says, "The final challenge is starting in two minutes. You better impress me now son." Prince Richard then replies with a smile and says, "Yeah yeah yeah. I'll see you out their father and I will complete these challenges." King Ellington then leaves the room with a smile. Prince Richard then started to stop smiling and thought to himself, "If they are adding up the last three challenges in order to make the last the hardest one for me, what are they going to do?" His smile then starts to grow back. He then says, "No one can beat a royale what am I thinking." Prince Richard then leaves the room and starts to head towards the arena. The thought was still stuck in his head. He then thought to himself again, "What are they going to do to me?"
Two minutes later, the announcer then shouts, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the fourth and finale challenge! The crowd then starts to scream and cheer. The announcer then continues to speak, "The finale challenge is based on combat! No weapons, no killing, just hands!" More and more people began to enter the arena to watch Prince Richard do the finale challenge. Lyon and Sana enter the arena to watch Prince Richard. Lyon says to Sana, "Why do we have to be here? This is going to be boring Sana; we should be training." Sana then replies, "Come on Lyon don't be like that now. Aren't you curious on what is going to happen?" Lyon then replies, "I already do and that is because we did the test already." Sana replies, "You're not wrong but aren't you curious on how this is going to go down?" Lyon then replies, "Fine but only because you want to." Sana replies back with a smile, "Thanks Lyon and now let's cheer on the prince." The announcer then continues to speak, "Open the gate!" The gate then begins to open. Despair and Night began to walk out. They both jumped up in the air and sat down on the side lines. Lyon and Sana then said, "If those two are there then where is Creeper?" Everybody went silent and there wasn't a sound to be heard. Prince Richard's smile faded away. Ding!!! Ding!!! The sound of chains was the only thing being heard. Creeper had a vicious look on his face. Ding!!! Clang!!! Ding!!! Creeper was wrapped around in chains. Night then began to speak. Night said, "Creeper is now in a killer state that is why he is chained up." Prince Richard then shouts at Night, "So is he going to kill me?!" Night then said, "Relax if anything goes wrong me and Despair are here to stop him." Prince Richard took another look at Creeper. Prince Richard then shouts, "Why am I fighting him?!" The announcer then shouts in the megaphone, "Prince Richard scored high on the last three challenges! It was something we haven't seen for a while and the best opponent to put you up against was Creeper!" Night then said, "Creeper gets like this when he is excited to fight someone. He can barely control himself at the moment. Probably because he is going to fight the prince."
Narrator: The fourth challenge is fighting Creeper. What a surprise, I wonder what Prince Richard is going to do.
Prince Richard was scared. Creeper was smiling viciously, drooling. He looked like a maniac ready to kill his last victim. The announcer then shouted in the megaphone, "Are you ready!" Prince Richard then said, "Wait a second!" The announcer then said, "Get set!" Prince Richard then started to scream, "WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!!!" The announcer then shouted, "FIGHT!" Creeper then broke the chains with his energy. Prince Richard's attention was only towards Creeper. For one second Creeper was still behind the gate but then in a blink of an eye, he was right behind Richard. Creeper then punted Prince Richard across the other side of the arena. Richard took a hard impact against the wall. He began to spit out blood. Creeper then said, "Don't worry boy, I'm not going all out. If I was that blow would've killed, you!" Prince Richard then got into his fighting stance. Creeper then yelled a loud screeching roar. Everybody covered their ears. Sana then shouted, "Are they insane putting him up against Creeper?!" Lyon then shouted, "Hell yeah now this is entertaining! Thanks for bringing me, Sana!" Creeper then left an after image and landed a gut punching blow to Richard in the gut. Richard then spitted out blood but then held onto Creeper's arm. Richard then spawned in his mythical Deagle and shot Creeper in the face. The announcer then shouted, "That weapon is his ability so I guess we should let it slide since he is up against Creeper." Creeper then leaped away from Richard, having his head leaning backwards. Creeper then leaned forward showing that he caught the bullet with his mouth. Richard then got ready to blow Creeper's brains out. Creeper spit out the bullet. He then started to smile while sticking out his tongue. Prince Richard then started to shoot. Creeper then said, "Creeping Stalk." Creeper was able to see Richard's bullets. Creeper then started to rush and dodge the bullets. The bullets then started to curve and were tracking Creeper. Creeper then got close to Richard. Richard then shouted, "Shotgun Blitz!" The bullets then came out firing like a shotgun. Creeper then put his arms up covering his face. Tanking the shots, Creeper then shouted, "Silent Blow!" A silent kick came in hitting Richard on the chin. The kick was invisible and silent to the point where it actually came out of nowhere. Richard was then in the air. Richard then aimed his mythical Deagle down towards Creeper and shouted, "Raining Ammunition!" The sky was covered with bullets raining down on Creeper. Creeper then spread his arms wide and shouted, "Stalking Moon!" Creeper then saw a pattern between the bullets coming down. He then started moving left and right leaving after images, dodging the bullets. Creeper then leaped up into the sky and grabbed Richard from the face and threw him down to the ground. Richard then landed on his feet and aimed into the sky and started shooting. Creeper then flew down rushing to the ground and then ran up to Richard. Richard was still aiming up and wasn't able to aim down in time. Creeper then was going to grab his throat. Richard then leaped away from Creeper. Creeper then missed the grab. Creeper then said, "Creeping Stalk." Richard then looked in the sky and it was sundown. Richard then closed his eyes and said, "Midnight Duel." Richard then fired two bullets at Creeper. Creeper then rushed at Richard. The two bullets started to spin around each other and then once they were close enough to Creeper, they hit each other making a huge explosion. Creeper then stopped rushing and was looking around through the smoke. He then used his Creeping Stalk to look around through the smoke. He then saw Richard through the smoke but by the time he saw him two bullets then landed a blow on both of Creeper's legs.
Creeper then fell on his knees and looked up. Richard rushed Creeper pointing his gun towards Creeper's forehead. Creeper then started to laugh maniacally. Night and Despair stood up and got ready. Sana then shouted, "Why are those two standing up? Is something going to happen?" Lyon then replies, "I don't know but they will do something about it." Creeper was about to go all out. Creeper then says, "You're strong but still got a lot to learn. This fight is making me hungry for more. I want to fight you for real now! Screw this test! Try to kill me!" Night and Despair then disappeared from their spots. Richard pulls the trigger about to kill Creeper. Richard then instead shoots an after image of Creeper and Creeper was behind him. Creeper then made a claw with his hands and then said, "Dying Wish." Despair and Night stopped Creeper. Despair stopped Creeper's attack with one hand and Night was holding Creeper down. Despair then said, "You're not meant to go all out Creeper. You were about to kill him and for that you must be punished. Despair then pokes Creeper on the forehead with two fingers knocking him out. Night then picked up Creeper and took him away, taking him back to homebase. Despair then looks at Prince Richard and says, "You will meet people powerful like Creeper or maybe even more powerful when you're on the battlefield. You did good against him during the battle. You put him in a position where it was all over and for that you passed." Richard then despawns his mythical Deagle and starts to burst in tears. Sana shouts, "He won!" Lyon shouts, "He was holding back. Does that really count as a real fight win?" Sana replies back at Lyon, "Shut up!" The announcer then shouts in the mega speakers, "Prince Richard has passed the final challenge! Prince Richard has completed and passed every challenge; he has completed the test!" The entire crowd started to cheer, music was playing, King Ellington was proud." Prince Richard got on his knees and started to cry. He then thought to himself in his mind, "These peasants are stronger than I thought. Creeper was holding back a lot during our fight. He wanted to go all out but the others stopped him. I must become and grow stronger than these peasants."
Narrator: After that incredible fight Prince Richard realizes that he is even close to being the strongest even though he has royal blood and knows he is going to get strong so no one can beat him.
After the test, Prince Richard was in his room laying down in bed. He was wrapped around in bandages. King Ellington enters his room. King Ellington enters saying, "So how is my son doing?" Richard no longer has the same smile that he had during the test. King Ellington then asks, "What's wrong son?" Prince Richard then replies, "These peasants are what's wrong father. Creeper was holding back and when he started to try, he was going to kill me with one blow." King Ellington replies, "I know son and don't worry, he is off duty for the next two weeks." Prince Richard then shouts, "I don't care that I almost died! I care that the truth behind that fight was that I would've lost in the very beginning of it. I'm mad that these peasants are stronger than me!" King Ellington then replies, "Oh, and what are you going to do about that son?" Prince Richard then replies, "I'm going to train more and surpass peasants that I encounter!" King Ellington then replies, "Good and just to let you know that training starts tomorrow morning since you are now part of the army now." Prince Richard smiled and replied back, "I love you father." King Ellington replies back, "I love you too son." King Ellington leaves the room and Prince Richard is lying down on his bed.
Narrator: After that father and son moment it's time to go back to the hideout and see what going on there.
Back at the hideout, it was the last week of the month, my whole body was shaking with fear then BAM! A rock hit me on my head, and I yelped in pain, "Ouch!" I held onto my head and when I looked at my hand, I was relieved that there was no blood. Then Lele walked inside my room, and she said, "Your reflexes need a lot of work, like how are you going to give Eren a good fight if you can't have a good reflex?" I agreed with what she said but why did she have to say it like that. So, I looked at her and said, "Okay, then what do you want me to do about it?" Lele gave me a blank look then she took off her sandal. She picked it up and then, WACK!! She hit me in the head with her sandal and then she said, "I CAN HELP YOU DAMN IDIOT GEEZ!!!" I looked at her with concern while holding onto my head. Then I said, "Are you sure?" She replied, "Of course, I'm sure! You have Crystal, Erma, and even Eren, the person you have to fight! I swear, men are way too picky!" I replied, "Okay! Okay! When do you want me to start my training?" She replies, "Meet me outside in one hour." I nodded my head and then I started getting ready. One hour later, I walked outside and saw Lele waiting. Then she started to fly up and I joined her. Then she says, "Follow me." I nodded and I started following her. Ten minutes later we were flying over the woods and then she flew down. When we landed, Lele said, "This is where we are going to be training." I looked around and noticed we were in the middle of nowhere and I forgot the rotation we took.
As I was looking around, I then asked Lele, "What type of reflex training are we going to be doing here?" I then turn around facing Lele. Lele then said, "Execration Wind!" I then put my arms up getting ready to block the attack. The attack hit me, but it did not damage. I then yelled out to Lele, "What was that for?!" Lele then said, "Calm down Maikeru, the attack wasn't going to hurt you. It's going to help you train your reflexes." I then asked, "Can you tell me at least what you did to me? I didn't feel anything from that attack." Lele then said, "I put a curse on you-" I then shouted, "You put a curse on me?!" Lele then smacked me and said, "Let me finish talking, Maikeru!" I then stayed quiet and listened. Lele then continues to speak, "The curse I put on you was called Execration Wind. Think of it this way, wind is now your enemy. It doesn't have to come from me, the attack can come from anywhere." I then asked, "How do I know when I'm about to get attacked?" Once I asked her that question, a big gush of wind then picked me up and slammed me on the ground. Lele then said, "Basically just like that." I then got back up and started to look around my surroundings. I then said, "How long do I have to have this curse for?" Lele then replies, "About a week." My jaw then dropped. I shouted, "A week with this?" A gust of wind then smacks me in the face, launching me yards away from Lele. Lele then dashes towards me and catches me. Lele then says, "Yes and have fun. You're going to be here all alone with this curse." Lele then puts me down and starts to fly away.
