"Will they be alright?" Maya asked, as Mike and Evan disappeared from the stage as soon as the entered the door that appeared after the box grow large enough.
"I am sure they will be," Oliver said, answering her again, with her being a normal human and a mother, he can understand her worries but have no way except console her.
"I still think you could have gone with Mike, after all, both of them are still kids, with an adult like you there, it would have been safer." Maya said as Oliver shakes his head.
"No, I would have just probably dragged him down, he needed Evan in this round rather than me," Oliver said as Maya tilts her head, "Why?" She asked, curious what could be the reason.
"After all, Evan have...

"It's because you have good eyes..." Mike said, looking at me as he answered me so after I asked him why me choosed me over everyone else.
"Or that's what father said about you,"
"I see," I said, understanding what he might be thinking but than looked around, there were two ways, with one might being wrong and other right.
"And what is in your hand?" I asked him, looking at the envelope in his hand, wondering what if might be.
"Oh this?" Mike said, opening it and taking out two pages, one white and blank and other having the instructions on this round.
"Let's see, every participant is given one of these, hmm... Only those 32 will be selected who complete this round before the other one does, killing is not allowed, you can take as long as wants, and this empty paper... I see..."
After reading all of it, i handed the paper back to him and look at the other paper on his hand, "Drop your blood drop on it," I said as he raised his eyes brows.
"Blood?" He asked as I nods before using his sword tip to drop a blood drop on it.
As soon as he is did so, the paper started turning red from white and before we knows it, it was completely red and then, it started folding in a paper plane.
"Have you tried paper plane before?" I asked as he fortunately nods, it's great because, "Throw it as far as you could," I said with a paise, "The more distance, the better it is."
"Hmm, okay." Mike said as he bowed air in paper plane from behind before getting ready to throw it.
'I wonder why people blow a paper plane with air from behind, according to science, it changes nothing except adding bad breath.'
Anyways, as soon as he throw away the paper plane, it flew straight before turning towards our right, entering one path before taking a left and running out of energy as it came crashing down.
"This thing will just make this round all more easier..." Mike said as we both walked upto the plane, it seems that he already understood that this thing is made to show us the right way towards the exit but...
"It's not what you think. This paper plane is a one-time use only. You can't fold it back or use it again."
As soon as I said so, his irritation was immediate as looked at me with slight dissatisfaction.
"What? One-time use? Then why the hell did we waste it so soon? We could've used it later when we really needed guidance!"
I sighed, knowing he wouldn't let this go easily. "Think about it, Mike. If we didn't use it now, we could've ended up wandering aimlessly for hours or worse, could have gone the complete opposite way, atleast now we have started in the right direction..."
Hearing my response, Mike too become silent as he ponders for a bit, "Maybe you are right, only 32 people can pass this round, there is no use saving this if you failed to be in those 32." He said as I nods and...
"And it's not like we can't do this again," I said as he raised his eyebrows.
"The rules say that every participant is given one of these, which means that-"
"That everyone have atleast one of these..." Saying so, Mike looked at me as I nods. That's right, if we can't use our, we can always steals others.
'And maybe, they wanted this to happen, it's not a loop hole after all, there's also a rule that prohibited killing, but not fighting,' However, only those who have a bit of experience in contracts and such will be able to see this hidden rule.
"These walls are thickor special even, I can't see pass all of them but only one wall is still possible," I said to myself as I then looked at Mike, who has a slightly panicked expression.
"What happened?" I asked him, as I saw him looking around frantically.
"My soul core... I can't feel it..." He said as I paused and then started to analyse things... "Well, it make things a whole lot easier..." I thought, as a plan appeared in my mind.
A plan with assured victory as long as luck isn't too against us that is, "Listen, here what we are going to do..."

"Seriously, just what the fuck is happening?" Doki asked himself as he walked the to the stadium.
Just now, he has received the news that not one or to but a total of the king rank talent have appeared.
Even in his long life span, he hasn't seen more than one King appear in the year much less 3 in different kingdoms, that too not including all the king ranked talent from Past years.
'No time to think about it all,' Doki thought to himself as he then looked at the stage where an ongoing maze competition was going on.
"The prince huh, the good thing now is even if I fail to get you, the first shadow is not going to fail in kidnapping the other King..." Doki thought, his eyes fixed on the large board which tell everyone position in the maze.
'Times are changing... I can feel it...' Hr thought to himself, looking towards the VVIP room, or directly towards the Red haired man sitting in there... The king of this Kingdom, and probably the only person who can come in his way today.
