Today is March 11. The day of the entrance exam for the Empyrean Academy is finally here.

Renata woke up from her bed and snapped her fingers. The maids prepared everything and surrounded her hastily. A maid accidentally ripped Renata's dress but Renata has no reaction to it and guides her to find another dress for her. After dressing up, Claude came in while the maids exited.

Claude: "Young miss, breakfast is ready."

Renata: "Hmm."

She turned around after checking her appearance in the mirror.

Renata: 'Very acceptable.'

While they walked down the halls together

Claude: 'I just hoped that she would pass the exam...'

Renata: "..." 'Sage, what is he talking about?'

Sage: "'I theorize that Claude knew about you being his lover and savior from the future when you became an adult but went back in time to become your family head butler to look out for you.'"

Renata: 'Wow, that's more than a theory, Sage'

Sage: "'Well, I can see his heart.'"

Renata: "Right, Claude...do you have something for me? You've been hiding your right hand in your back."

Claude: "Ah...young miss, I will show you after you passed the entrance exam."

Renata: "What makes you think that I would pass?"

Claude: "I had a feeling you'd pass successfully."

Renata: "A feeling huh?"

As they continued walking to the dining room. They chatted for a long time is what Claude thinks of now.

Claude: 'I know that she doesn't remember me like from past future events when she became a young woman but it still pains me just by the thought of it. Even though something or someone used something to turn back in time because the reigning demon king was alive after being defeated by the otherworld heroes so that the demon king wouldn't resurface again when I knew something or someone turned back in time, I had an opportunity to become Renata's head butler of the Elliott household, even I signed the contract of his highness, Ezekiel...'

Renata: "..." 'Sage...'

Sage: "'It's what I thought but there are some mysteries of it, concerning about the who or what that turns back time.'"

Renata: 'Yeah, that concerns me, you and Claude. We need a thorough investigation in the future.'

Sage: "'Yes, young miss.'"

Renata: 'Actually, what happened to the original Renata before I was reincarnated?'

Sage: "'Let's start from the beginning. The original Renata was an ordinary duke's daughter, heiress of the Elliott household. She doesn't know her family is Ziselaers and that she's also a Ziselaer royal member. She got homeschooled instead of going to Empyrean Academy because Ziselaers is known for walking ticking bombs. after her 20th birthday, she went on an adventure and saved several people but didn't mention their names and one of them is her lover she saved. But the demon king resurfaced after being defeated by otherworld heroes from many years ago and started to wage war on the beings except the Ziselaers. Even though this is my theory, a person can't take it anymore and used a forbidden spell to turn back time, or an object malfunctioned, and then the world suddenly went back in time.'"

Renata: 'And where is she?'

Sage: "'I theorize that she killed herself, got killed or her soul got changed by either the God of Death or God of Reincarnation.'"

Renata: 'That's...' "..."

Sage: "'...'"

Claude: "Young miss, we're here."

Renata: "Oh, you can go back now."

Claude: "Yes, young miss..."

All the children were sitting on their chairs with their hands on the table, talking to each other while Kyle was talking to his 1st sister on the phone.

Diana: "Kyle, the entrance exam is challenging so I hope you and your daughter will be fine. Geez, brother Broderick is merciless when it comes to exams, games, and arenas."

Kyle: "Well, he's very calculating when it comes to that."

Diana: "All right then, my daughter hasn't woken up yet but I'm sure she will pass!"

Kyle: "Haha!"

While Kyle and Diana were talking, Renata sat down on her assigned chair and talked to her friends.

Winter, Levine, Tessalia, Adam, Zion, Luke, Elaine, Eldar, and Renata were at the children's side while Hildegard, Alfred, George, Kyle, and Henry were at the adult's side of the table.

Renata: "Hmm..."

Elaine: "Hey, aren't you excited about the exam?"

Adam: "I heard that the exam today is extremely hard!"

Eldar: "Well, we should prepare ourselves."

Tessa: "Yes, as we should."

Winter: "Hm."

Levine: "Wait, today is the exam for the Empyrean Academy?!"

Luke: "Yes, Levine."

Levine and Zion: "😭"

The servants prepared the meal for them and they stopped what they were doing and started eating the delicious meals.

After eating, they went to their horse carriages with pegasus as their carriage horses. The kids were in the blue carriage while the adults were in the dark blue carriage.

There, they saw a castle on top of a floating land.

Renata: "That's the Empyrean Academy, huh?"

Renata: "A castle from the past turned into an academy."

The castle's outer appearance has...

Renata: 'Now that I look at it?! It has the same appearance as Beauxbatons Academy?!'

After the carriages landed on the island. They stepped down from their seats and walked to the gates of the Empyrean Academy

The gates opened and the people went in a hurry.

The children looked at the walls of the inner Empyrean Academy. Yes, they saw a giant statue in the center of the plaza, a rose maze hedge, a giant greenhouse, and beautiful plants. And yes, the academy has already started! The teachers were examining them, the parents, guardians, and the children!

Renata: 'What is this? It's like they copied the scene from the Spy X family. Why? We don't have our numbers yet.'

Kyle: "We have our numbers, instead of putting them on the billboard. We have a ticket instead."

Renata: "No. 600?"

Someone: "Hey! I got no. 600!?"

Renata: "What?"

Kyle: "The first test is...to get points by killing the evil monsters and get your number updated before anyone gets more."

Renata: "What...? Such a test like this?"

Kyle: "This is Broderick we're talking about. He gives nothing but looks at everything when it comes to exams."

Renata: "Ah..."

Announcer: "Heya! Hello, everyone! I'm still here!"

Someone: "Why does he keep appearing?"

Announcer: "Today! We have a beginner's test! But it's not about writing but it's about! Hunting the evil monsters to get points!!!"

Some: "Ehhh?!"

Person 1: "I haven't been here but they had that?!"

Person 2: "Eh...today I'm gonna pass right now!"

Child: "Grr! Ugh! This is annoying!"

Mother: "My son, be calm."

Child 2: "Woah...! So this is Empyrean Academy."

Father: "Ah...this brings me back memories."

Renata: "Who knew that Uncle Broderick is into THIS..."

Kyle: "But please pass or else, Brother Broderick won't let it slide as the member of the Ziselaer family."

Renata: "Right."

Announcer: "Alright here are the rules of this hunting exam! Rule no. 1 no killing people just evil monsters. Rule no. 2 you can share your points with your friends, relatives, or enemies! Rule no. 3...you must reach higher kills in 50 days!"

Everyone except the main households: "Huh?!?! We're/they're just kids! Right, we're going home now!"

Announcer: "Oh? You can't back out now though? All the teachers here will examine your child here."

Parents except for the main household parents: "What the heck?!"

Kyle: "Hmm."

Announcer: "Okay, I'm not done yet! Rule no. 4 if your child is a coward or can't kill or reached lower points is immediate expulsion but don't worry! The headmaster changed it! If your child is a coward can't kill or reached lower points must do it again before the timer ends! Rule no. 5 you can't help your children to get more points, it's cheating! Rule no. 6! Again! You cannot hurt your friends, enemies, or relatives or else! You'll get immediate punishment! And rule no. 7 the timer is 50 days, 24 minutes of rest and if you get immediate points from a legendary plant that blooms once in a red moon is 10x! And I'm not done yet! Here are the rankings for you to get points!

G class monsters - 1 point

F class monsters - 2 points

E class monsters - 3 points

D class monsters - 4 points

C class monsters - 5 points

B class monsters - 6 points

A class monster - 7 points

It's multiplication like for example, you have 60 kills and get 7 points for killing A-class monsters so 60 x 7 is 420! So the more points you have! The more you'll get in the academy!"

Some children: "I must find that plant or else...!"

Kyle: "...I know this is cheating but...I will lend you a map for the legendary plant."

Renata: "Won't Uncle Broderick get angry?"

Kyle: "Nope. We're known as cheaters of the battle after all. Brother Broderick will let it slide since he knows that fact."

Renata: "Oh..."

Kyle patted his daughter's head, soothing her to keep calm and stay strong and secretly inserting the map in her mind.

Announcer: "Come on! We can lend you a few items for the hunting! Just follow the maidens! And go go go!"

Kyle: "You must stay strong and don't let others get ahead of you."

Renata: "Yes, Dad."

All parents said their sad goodbyes to their children even the royals

Risha: "Please get help if you're struggling."

Oliver: "Miss Renata will come to help you if you need her!"

Tessalia: "Yes, mother and father."

Mother: "Leo, please...for me just don't get in trouble for me, okay?"

Leo: "...yes...mama..."

Frost: "Winter, now that you're friends with a Ziselaer you cannot let her win!"

Snow: "Yes, dear."

Winter: "...right"

Hildegard: "Hey, don't worry. I taught you the art of the spear so you must stay strong and stay alive for me, okay? Mommy won't allow it."

Elaine and Eldar: "Yes, mommy!"

Jonson: "Dad, I'm going now."

Tyler: "Wahhh...just stay alive and get well!"

Diana: "As a member of the Ziselaer, you must pass no matter what."

Henry: "Darling, don't force her to become a perfectionist."

Diana: "Ah! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that! I was just sad and angry at the same time that my baby girl will hunt on her own and that brother of mine is crazy to take my baby away!"

Luna: "Haha!"

Alfred: "You must do it for me and your future descendants!"

Adam: "Okay, I will not let you down!"

George: "As the future assassin, you must kill the evil monsters that I taught you. You know their anatomy so please pass!"

Luke: "Yes, sir!"

Zarra: "My little children...boohoo..."

Liam: "My children, you're on your own now but please don't hesitate to ask for help."

Sierra: "Okay!"

Zion: "Yes..."

(King of Akron's name is hard to type and memorize so I had to change King of Akron in KA)

K.A: "My son, make me proud!"

Perra: "Crush your enemies including that brat!"

Jebac: "Yes, father and mother!"

Kyle: "Well then, Renata, my daughter...stay safe, get well and you must do anything to achieve the higher points."

Renata: "Yes, Dad."

Maidens: "Right this way."

The children were lined up and Renata was the last. They followed the maiden to the waiting room. The waiting room was comfortable and simple with chairs, tables, and food on the table and four people were bringing heavy bags.

Maiden: "Line up! So I can write your name down on the list, and give you the number."

Everyone lined up one by one while Renata was the last again.

Maiden: "Next!"

Renata walked in and looked at the maiden

Maiden: 'Black hair...!' 'I've heard about them to think they're real!' "Ahem! Name? Age? Birthday? Height? Favorite color? Choice of weapon? Your diet?"

Renata talked after the maiden spoke faster

Renata: "Renata Ziselaer but Elliott is my current household, I'm 6. My birthday is December 25, my height is 130.5! My favorite color is violet! My choice of weapon is whatever I wield! My diet is healthy food!"

Maiden: "Yes, here's your number, your bag, and choose any weapon."

The person who gave the bags gave Renata her violet bag and showed her the weapons.

Renata: 'Yes...all of them are compatible for me but I will choose...'

She grabbed something on the wall and everyone was shocked because she chose a sword, gloves, and a gun.

Renata: "This will do."

Maiden: "O-Okay!"

Renata: "Thank you."

After that, the children brought their weapons and their bags and then they followed the maiden. The maiden stopped walking in front of the huge doors.

Maiden: "I wish you luck."

And the maiden disappeared. The huge doors creaked when the magic opened the doors and the children saw a beautiful green forest with exotic plants and clean water.

Some children argue that they thought this Academy was crazy since they looked like they were on an important mission altogether.

Teacher: "I know this is not a place to say this but...is it alright? The children might you know..."

Broderick: "Fernando also said that question to me again but my reply is...if they die because they can't kill or get killed must have immediate revival. We cannot afford people to go against us so I gave them protection on their gears so there's no worry..."

Teacher: "But I have doubts..."

Broderick: "Doubt as you want, ignorant human."

Teacher: "Well, at least I have concerns for the children unlike you!"

Broderick: "..."

Broderick: 'Let's see if how are the children are capable of.'

4 hours later

A random child cried because of hunger, and another child went on a tantrum because they couldn't set up the tent properly.

Renata: "How is it, folks?"

Her friends: "It's ready and perfect!"

Renata and her friends properly set up their tents while others are struggling, fighting/arguing, stealing, and yelling at each other.

Renata almost got a headache so she had no choice but to guide them.

Renata clapped her hands louder and everyone looked at her, shocked and irritated.

Renata: "Please, if you can't set up properly, I will guide you."

Child 1: "We're not taking orders from you!"

Child 2: "That's a Ziselaer!"

Child 3: "Guide us? After guiding us, what will we give in return? Nothing!"

Renata: *sigh* "Just follow me! Or else, I won't give you the map to the legendary plant!" 'Sorry everyone but this is bait.'

Jonson: "Haha! Come on, let's follow her!"

Sebastian: "...a sad and tragic poor cursed soul..."

Everyone reluctantly follows Renata but after setting up, they are not convinced yet.

Renata: 'I haven't got them yet, huh...'

Leo: "Tch! Dammit! I can't seem to get it!"

Elaine: "Let me help you then!"

Leo: "You..!" 'Don't get in trouble for me okay? Mother said not to cause trouble!'

Leo: "...Kay..."

Elaine guided the tiger child to set up the tent properly.

After setting up, night falls and it's about to begin. Some children were scared and others were pretending to be brave.

Renata: "Hmm..."

She stood up from her bed and went outside with a sword on her hip.

A few minutes later, the children heard clanging, slashing, slicing, gunshots, cold winds, bigger lights, electric lights, and plants moving from Renata with her gun, Winter with his ice magic, Tessalia with her light magic, Elaine and Eldar with their spears, Levine with his plant magic, Luna with her dark magic, Luke with his knives, Zion with fire magic, Jonson who participated in fighting the evil monsters with his gauntlets, Leo with his wild tiger form, and Sebastian with his sword also participated in getting the points.

A voice came out of their number plates.

"Renata has 40 kills, 40 points. Winter has 20 kills and 20 points. Tessalia has 19 kills and 19 points. Elaine has 32 kills and 32 points. Eldar has 34 kills and 34 points. Levine has 4 kills and 4 points. Luna has 24 kills and 24 points. Luke has 28 kills and 28 points. Zion has 26 kills and 26 points. Jonson has 35 kills and 35 points. Leo has 29 kills and 29 points. Sebastian has 38 kills and 38 points."

Elaine: "Wow~ We still haven't reached her level?"

Jonson: "Woah! 35 points!"

Levine: "Aw...I got 4 points..."

Tessalia: "Don't worry, you can do this!"

Renata: "Let's go!"

Her friends: "Yes!"

Jonson, Sebastian, and Leo: "..."

The next day, all the children came out of their tents and were about to start to crumble because they couldn't find a shower or food. They smelled something in the air and it was from Renata's group.

Renata: "Good morning everyone, breakfast is ready."

The children were glancing at each other, having doubts and skepticism.

Renata: "..." *sigh*

Elaine: "mhm! So good!"

Levine: "I can go on!"

Tessalia: "Oh my! So delicious!"

Eldar: "Please eat properly, Jonson..."

Jonson: "Hey, this is good!"

Sebastian: "Hmm."

Winter: "How many plates did you eat?"

Luna: "Uh...6?"

Luke: "You'll get fat, I will eat too."

Leo: *Nom nom*

Zion: "I want to eat more!"

The children's thoughts

Child 1: 'They ate her food?!'

Child 2: 'Princess Tessalia and Prince Zion are eating her food!'

Child 3: 'The next holy knight, Sebastian is eating her food?!'

Child 4: 'That looks delicious...'

The children gulped together and slowly sat on the chairs.

Renata: "Here, enjoy."

The meal today is an Egg omelet, Salisbury steak, and fries.

Renata: 'It was a good idea to make breakfast for them.'

Now, 14 days later, the children have started to cooperate, listen and follow Renata. Sharing their points and saving their friends, relatives, and even their enemies.

*Beep!* *Beep!*

Elaine: "What is that annoying sound?!"

Renata: "It's coming...!"

Leo: "I see it...!"

Sebastian: "13...13 evil rabbit bears!"

Renata: 'Its appearance is cute but is terrifying...its face is a facade but it will open its real disgusting face and gobble, everyone. There are cases in which rabbit bears ate 270 humans, 110 elves, 120 beast kin, 34 dwarves, and 90 merfolk. There are C-class monsters.'

Renata: "Everyone! Help me and I'll cover you!"

Levine: "Can we beat them?!"

Renata: "Yes and I will be the one to kill them."

Jonson: "Hey, it's not fair for you to get all the points for yourself only."

Renata: "Right. Everyone! Do anything to defeat them!"

Everyone hesitates at first but they see how amazing Renata is and feel hopeless so they gather up and do anything to defeat them.

Broderick: "Hey! Who let the rabbit bears run loose?! Tell me who?!"

Teacher: "Your Highness, it's him I saw him!"

Broderick: "You...!"

He grabbed the man by his collar shirt.

Broderick: "You kept talking about concern for the children but you let the C class monsters loose?! Not to mention their favorite food is CHILDREN! Professor bane! You're a proud professor of the Academy and yet, you did this behind my back?!"

Professor Bane: "Who cares about me being a bad teacher? I let them loose so that they will eat the children and everyone will point at you for letting C-class monsters eat their children!"

Broderick: "Just because we have a reputation that doesn't mean you all have to blame us! We're just outsiders to you and yet, you beings interfered! Blaming us for the past incidents, making up stories that we eat children as punishment, and even trying to shame us when we didn't do anything to you!"

That hit their spots. Yes, the beings did those and the Ziselaers didn't do anything to them but get blamed anyway.

Broderick: "Professor Bane, you're exiled forever!"

Fernando: "Put him outside!"

Teacher: "Where are you going, sir?"

Broderick: "Save the little ones."

Teacher: "Sir, look at this!"

Broderick: "What?"

He looked at the camera where he saw children teaming up to fight against rabbit bears. The one leading was Renata who defeated 2 rabbit bears.

Broderick: "Haha! This is interesting! Usually, every child is arrogant and rude but they're helping each other!"

Fernando: "This is good for their future."

Broderick: "But we need to keep an eye on them. We don't want their parents crying over their bodies."

Teachers and Fernando: "Yes, sir!"

In the forest

Child 1: "Oi! She beat a C-class evil monster!"

Child 2: "How did she beat those 2?!"

Renata: 'Strange...I have low stats so how did I defeat those?'

Sage: "'Your level is 34.5 and their level is 25.'"

Renata: 'They're C-class monsters.'

Sage: "'It is because you are a half Ziselaer.'"

Renata: "..."

A voice instead of sage came out of Renata's plate number.

"Renata has 2 kills of 2 C class evil rabbit bears, 5 points, 40 x 5 = 200."

Renata: "That's a few."

Sage: "'You need to add more. You need to get a legendary plant, along with A-class monsters. It will give you higher points.'"

Renaat: 'I need more.'

Somewhere in the other castle. A floating figure was watching the show through the crystal ball. It's Doverin Siberia, spying on the Ziselaers, especially Renata because she's reborn from another world.

Doverin: "Ezekiel's daughter...why are you the only one reborn and not your family? Hmm..."

Ezekiel noticed him and he twitched his right index finger and then Doverin's right shoulder had a scar on it. Bleeding little by little, interests Doverin more.

Doverin: "Hahahaha! This is why Ziselaers are my no. 1 list to fight against them! Ezekiel knew my presence! Even far away!"

Ezekiel/Kyle: "Goodness, he still won't give up."

Broderick: "That brat still hasn't learned his place..."

Broderick pushed back his glasses and then suddenly Doverin's right shoulder got severely cut off instantly.

Doverin: "Gah! Keep doing that and I might fight you!"

Diana: "Oh? That scamp is here? Honestly, just when is he going to stop?"

Diana flapped her fan, fanning her face and cooling off her sweats. It's like an invisible knife sliced his mouth to his right cheek.

Doverin: "Ah!"

He smiled after receiving cuts from his enemies and he opened his left arm widely. His mouth twitched but he didn't mind the pain and then he closed his eyes slowly and then, he wobbled and fell.

Some teachers heard the noise but Broderick shushed them. Even the parents heard the noise but Kyle and Diana silenced them.

Doverin coughed as he stood up from the grass. The grass was red blood but Doverin ignored it and went to sleep.

Doverin: "My regeneration is still slow as always...I wonder why? Is it because I didn't drink blood from others? Or is it because I'm a slow one in my family?"

He lies down on the grass without caring about his injuries.

Doverin: "I still don't know what the meaning of...love?"

He sighed in the end, he couldn't understand what is the meaning of love. Has he received love from his family? Does his lover love him? Does he love them?

20 days later, the children have gotten faster in cooperating, helping, and stronger and they have points too. While the children including Renata's group excluding Renata, fought against the evil monsters to get their points. Renata went another way to find the legendary plant.

"Renata has killed 6 E-class evil monsters, 300 x 3 = 900."

Renata: "..."

Renata: 'I need to find the legendary plant or else...'

She stopped as soon she thought of herself.

Renata: 'Wait...'

She turned back and ran to find the children. She saw them fighting E-class monsters so she assisted them too.

A few minutes later, the children won and got their points.

Renata: "I will keep my promise! Follow me!"

The children are confused but she means that she will find the legendary plant for them.

They followed after her and 7 hours later, Renata stopped in front of the entrance of the cave. She went in without caring about the dangers of the cave inside but the children slowly followed her.

Walk, step, jump, look, rest, sleep, eat, and then move again in every obstacle they encounter.

Until they found giant doors but Renata squinted her eyes.

Renata: "...This isn't the one that we're looking for..."

Annoying child: "Aw come on! We keep on following you to get that legendary plant but I'm done following you!"

Renata: "You had enough?"

Annoying child: "Damn right I am!"

Renata: "Then go back home and we're gonna get the legendary plant and divide the points, a fair trade no?"

Some kids almost argue but they think again

Child: "I think that's fine! You've been guiding us so it's okay to divide."

Others agreed with her idea but the annoying child ran and accidentally stepped on a booby trap.

Renata: "Everyone, get down!"

Luckily, the children dodged the arrows.

Renata: "What is wrong with you?"

Annoying child: "Geh...! I don't take orders from a Ziselaer! Aren't they the ones who always bring bad luck to everyone?!"

Sebastian: "Then, haven't we received good luck over the past few days?"

Annoying child: "There are days that we got almost killed!"

Jonson: *clicking his tongue* "No no! We got almost killed by you."

Some child: "Yeah, I saw him grinning and luring the monsters to us!"

Annoying child: "Ugh...!"

Renata crossed her arms and her face was stern with a stony atmosphere.

Renata: "You're a very naughty boy, Rattus."

(Rat-)

Renata: "Now tell me..."

Renata: 'Voice of Verbalized'

Renata: "Tell me the truth, just what is your reason to make the children get almost killed? Just what is wrong?"

Rattus tried to protest but instead of yelling, he said the truth.

Rattus: "I-I-I...! I wanted that legendary plant for myself and not you or anyone else! So I summoned the C-class rabbit bears and let them eat the children!!"

The children were shocked including Renata's group except for Renata, who has the face of an angry demon.

Rattus gasped, covering his mouth, and looked at the children with a dismayed look on his face.

Rattus: "Wait...!"

Child 1: "How could you?! She's helping you and you repay her by getting the plant for yourself!?"

Rattus: "Urrgh...!"

Renata: *sigh* "Let's get going and leave him."

The children followed her excluding Rattus.

Rattus: "Fine! I will find that plant myself!"

Oh yeah, Jebac is still in the forest, trapped by the vine dryads whom, jebac killed dryad they're enraged, so they trap him.

Jebac: "Hey! Let me out of here!!!"

The vine dryads: "..."

In the cave, Renata is still finding the plant but from the map she always looked at, it's always at the huge doors. The red dot points in the same direction as the huge doors.

Renata: "Everyone, The map stayed the same."

Tessalia: "What do you mean?"

Renata: "The map says to the huge doors."

Levine: "Eh?!"

Elaine: "Then why didn't we go in?"

Renata: "I had a feeling that...it's dangerous for you."

Jonson: "So you don't want us to get points after all?"

Renata: "..."

Sebastian: "Then why not find out ourselves and look for the plant, if there's trouble, we're gonna do it."

Renata: "Everyone! Come with me with your strength, courage, firm, and brave resolve on yourselves because we're going is dangerous and complicated! Aid yourself and everyone! Help and fight with all your might!"

The children yelled in unison, powered up and they pushed the heavy giant doors altogether.

After opening the heavy giant doors, they look at the throne room.

Renata looked at the throne room with skepticism but she found out what it was.

Renata: 'It's similar to the dungeon that I've completed before?'

Sage: "'It is similar but it's different.'"

*Thump*

They heard the heavy footsteps behind the throne chair.

Renata: 'You're right. It is different than before...'

Two armored giants came out of the red curtains. One with the shield and one with the staff.

Renata: 'A magician to boot. This is complicated where there's a magician.'

Sage: "'Then shall I take over?'"

Renata: 'You can do that?!'

Sage: "'Yes, unless you don't want me.'"

Renata: 'Then I shall allow it. Show me what you got, Sage!'

Sage: "'Commencing conscious takeover.'"

Sage: "'Complete.'"

Renata: 'Eh, where am I?'

Sage: "'You are in the safe place.'"

Renata: 'Right. Defeat them.'

Sage: "Come on! Let's, not dilly dally!"

Renata: 'Now, let's see.'

Sage looked at the iron-shielded giant but iron's weakness is acid. Sage commanded the acid magic users to attack the iron-shielded giant. Sage looked at the magician carefully. She calculates everything in her mind.

Sage: "The magician is weak to fire, earth, and dark magic!"

Renata: "...?!"

Sage: "Adam, cast fire magic onto the magician! Levine cast earth magic onto the magician and Luna cast dark magic onto the magician!"

The group did as they told and it seems like the magician's health bar appeared on Renata's eyes is decreasing.

Sage: "Now then, I will also attack you."

Magician: "MhmmM! Wait!?"

The children and Renata gasped after hearing the magician's first word.

Magician: "Why are you suddenly attacking us?!"

Renata: 'Come back, Sage.'

Sage: "'Yes.'"

Renata: "bwah!"

Magician and the shielded giant: "We didn't do anything and yet, you attack us???"

Renata: "Well, you two are giants so I thought you were gonna crush us with your foot."

Magician: "So you attacked us without thinking at all?!?!?!!?"

Renata: "...yes..."

Magician: "Wha...! Oh, wait...yes, true because we look threatening to you so it can't be helped."

Renata: "Then, what were you doing?"

Magician: "Ahem! We are here, as the first test to getting the legendary plant. It's simple, I'll ask questions and you'll answer them. Whoever got correct gets the points."

She's disappointed because she cannot fight them.

Magician: "Now then..."

The shielded giant: "What is the scientific notation of 256 x 103?"

Some: "Wha?!"

Renata: "The answer is 256,000!"

Tessa: "Oh! It's that scientific notation..."

Magician: "Correct! Now, do you know what is the anatomy of a human?"

Luke answered the magician's 2nd answer and got it correctly.

The shielded giant: "What is the definition of gregarious?"

Luna: "Likely to seek or enjoy the company of others!"

The shielded giant: "Correct!"

Magician: "Who is the Goddess of Creation's husband?"

All the children didn't know the answer while the group was finding an answer.

Renata: 'I think I've heard from dad...'

Flashback

Kyle: "The Goddess of Creation or great-grandmother's husband is..."

After flashback

Renata: "It's the first dragon that she first created, it's Rain the first rainbow dragon!"

The children were shocked to hear that from her.

Some: "So, no wonder they're half dragons..."

Some: "I didn't think that the Goddess would marry her creation..."

Some: *Gasp!* "So that means...!"

All the children except the group: "They are omnipotent!"

Magician: "You're correct!"

Renata: 'Glad that daddy told me about great grandmother...'

The shielded giant: "Now! Answer this question! Did you feel accomplished?"

All the children and Renata sweat and hesitate because the question is too sudden and hard.

Renata: 'Did I feel accomplished?'

Sage: "'I can help you-'"

Renata: 'No, I have an answer.'

Renata: "This may not or maybe an answer for you but...how do we feel accomplished when we don't know what's there in the future? Sure, we feel accomplished when we grow up but how can we feel accomplished when we face hardships and dangerous paths in the future? Do you need anything to achieve or reach your goal?"

Magician: "I didn't think that you'd answer that....that answer is alright."

Renata: "Alright?"

Magician: "The true answer for that is someone braved enough to face harsh accomplishments in the future, like you."

The shielded giant: "So you all pass!"

The children: "Yay!"

After that, the giants led the children to the garden for the legendary plants.

All the children didn't know what the appearance of a legendary plant so they randomly picked one plant that looked fancy or beautiful to them but didn't take out the ugly or boring plants.

Luna looked at the ugly and boring plants

Luna: "Poor them...I hope they are healthy..."

Levine: "If someone kind enough to pick them from their sadness."

Someone kind enough picked and dug the soil for the whole plant. And it was Renata and the plant she was getting is a withered flower with dead leaves. Some children glanced at her and looked at her as they kept whispering to each other.

Some: "Did she take pity on those plants?"

Some: "Why did she choose that plant?"

Renata: "..."

Then after exiting the doors, they went on getting more points.

The final day

Announcer: "Alright everyone! Here come the points of your children!"

The announcer pointed at the billboard while others looked happy, satisfied, and sad. Kyle nodded at his daughter's points.

Luna - 9,157 points

Levine - 600 points

Adam - 7,000 points

Elaine - 6,567 points

Eldar - 6,678 points

Jonson - 5,589 points

Winter - 3,500 points

Tessalia - 7,700 points

Zion - 3,500 points

Luke - 8,900 points

Announcer: "Here are the winners of this first round!"

"3rd place is...! Jebac Akron for his 9,000 points!"

"2nd place is...! Luna Victor for her 9,157 points!"

"And first place is...! Renata Elliott for her 12,000 points! And successfully in finding the true legendary plant!"

Some people cheered and jeered for her. Jebac was grinning but he felt he lost to them.

Jebac: 'Why didn't she help me?! No, how dare she humiliate me with the most points!?'

Renata: 'This plant is quite heavy...'

In the end, the parents rejoiced, happy, depressed, and gloomy because of their children's scores.

Some: "Well, when next summer comes, you can do it again."

Some: "Boohoo..."

Some: "Unforgivable!"

The other place

Diana: "Yay! I'm so proud of you!"

Luna: "Hehe!"

Alfred: "Your skills have gotten better!"

Adam: "Yes!"

George: "Very good, my son."

Luke: "Thank you, father."

Liam: "It's good that you're alive and well."

Zion: "Yes...!"

Levi: "Levine, it's great that you're improving!"

Levine: "Yeah!"

Hildegard: "My babies, thank goodness you're alright."

Eldar and Elaine: "Mama..."

Lindsey: "Leo...I hope my father will accept you."

Leonard: "...yes, mother."

Tyler: "Jon, how are your injuries?"

Jonson: "Still alive and well!"

Frost: "Winter, how is it? Getting along with other children?"

Winter: "Alright...I guess."

Oliver: "Tessa, how was it in there?"

Tessalia: "Lots of evil monsters."

Kyle: "How are you feeling? Your injuries?"

Renata: "Daddy, I'm fine. Besides, I feel accomplished after getting first place!"

Kyle: "The second and third rounds are still waiting."

Renata: "Right, there's more."

Kyle: "Yes."
