It was nine p.m., and the banquet was supposed to end at around ten p.m. The event has also reached its peak and is about to end. But there was still no sign of Zenryx anywhere.
A commotion has also started, and the crowd has started discussing what is happening and asking where Zenryx is and when he will appear.
They all asked Elle and Randell in unison, but they shook their heads, not knowing where he was or what the hell he was doing. Both of them were confused since Zen was supposed to appear around eight p.m., but it is already nine o'clock and he's nowhere to be seen.
Fiona, Daphne, and Celestia also came back inside after hearing the commotion that was happening. Since the villa was so big, it could accommodate about a thousand of people. The commotion was so loud that it alerted them.
Three of them were also curious and wanted to know where he was.
The guest was not angry at all, in truth, they were all just bewildered. Since Zenryx was supposed to be the star today but is now nowhere to be seen, appearing so late is also inappropriate for a birthday boy.
Amidst the uproar, Marie made her entrance into the room and proceeded towards the center point of the banquet area.
Elle saw her and promptly walked towards her and asked with a serious expression, "Marie, do you know where that kid Zenryx has gone to?! I have released my mana and covered the whole Raverdieu territory with my mana, but I can not sense a single presence of his at all!"
"My Lady, I don't know at all, to be honest." Marie then took out the tritonic, showing it to Elle.
"Actually, he did come to me yesterday and instructed me to place this Tritonic device at the center of the banquet. Around nine thirty, and then he said that is when he was supposed to appear." She explained.
Elle took the device and inspected it, seeing that there was nothing wrong with it. She instructed Marie to go ahead and place it in the center.
Then, at exactly nine thirty, at precisely nine thirty, the device illuminated and levitated, unveiling a holographic display of a rectangular form. This garnered the attention of all individuals present.
Fiona, Celestia, Daphne, Stella, Randell, and Elle, along with all of the guests. The cameras, which were simultaneously employed for live broadcasting purposes, also directed their focus towards the Tritonic.
All the people watching from their TV screens were also glued to the screen, not blinking, worried that they would miss something.
The whole continent fell into silence, waiting for what was about to transpire.
Then the hologram shone, the hologram emitted a luminous glow, projecting a visual recording. A young man was visible within the frame of the video.
Everyone was so shocked at the appearance of this young man. He was still wearing the immaculate white garments from head to toe, which enhanced his already perfected appearance.
The sight of this individual's flawless appearance and divine temperament left an indelible impression on the gazes of every young woman in attendance at the banquet, as well as those who were observing the event through the medium of live broadcast, with a scarce few exceptions, naturally.
One girl said, "Is that my husband?"
Then the other girls who heard said, "What do you mean, husband!? He's clearly my future husband."
Some of the girls argued with each other without even caring about the people present.
If Zen heard this he would probably cringe to death and say, 'At this age back then I was only thinking about why the moon was following not this type of stuff.'
Furthermore, the boys were contemplating a change in their gender as they observed the appearance of Zenryx.
Daphne, Celestia, and Stella were also astounded to see him. The only one who was not shocked was Fiona, as she has been with Zenryx every day and has gotten used to him.
Zenryx, who was on the screen, started speaking with a smile that could capture almost any girl's heart, and the crowd became silent again.
"Ummm, Mic test, Mic test! Is this working? Damn! This is complicated. Ohh, It is working now. I guess I'll start then."
"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening I am Zenryx Duragny Raverdieu. Ummm, this should be the first time everyone sees me. "
"It's very nice to meet you all. Anyway, I'm delighted to have you all be able to attend this birthday banquet of mine. Im sure you all have given gifts for me and have probably given them all to my parents already, so I thank you for your generosity."
"I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to my parents for taking their busy time to organize this event."
"Another thing is that I was able to reach Advanced Swordsmanship so I need to reward myself for my hardwork. I do have important matters to do also, so I am afraid I would not be able to attend the banquet."
"As for when I will be appearing again? It should be when the new year of the Pontiac Academy starts or maybe in three months or so."
"Ok, I'm done. I'll be ending the recording now."
"Oh right! before I end it since the banquet should be broadcast live right now."
"I'll be taking advantage of it. Anyway, follow my social media @Zenryxxx which is my Twittogram."
"Ok, I will be ending it now for real this time byeee. You guys have fun for the rest of the banquet, though."
"Ah sh*t, how do you end this thing again. Is this the stop recording button? Wait, that's not it. Is it th—"
Then the recording ended, and the Hologram screen disappeared.
Everyone was momentarily dazed. Each word Zenryx spoke left them dumbfounded, it was like a roller coaster.
It left them so shocked that they were unable to react for a while.
