GOLDEN PRINCE HIDEOUT
The eight of them finally gathered together after Riley got well again.
"Riley!!! Finally...we all miss you!"
The expression on Riley's face was calm, surprising Mathias.
"I'm so happy, I'm getting better too, don't worry"
Rudra hugged Riley who was seen holding Rudra's strong hug who was whining alone.
"I'm fine Rudra, didn't I tell you?"
"Ahhh yes-yes you're right, sorry Riley, that was my bad behavior"
Johan and Bosco just shook their heads, Riley kept looking at Mathias who still looked embarrassed.
"Mathias, there's a wizard competition next week, don't you want to try to enter?"
They all saw the reaction on Mathias' face who still looked confused, his blue eyes were dazed looking for an answer.
"To be honest, I don't dare...because...I know I'm not as good as you"
"Just try Mathias, we support you..."
"So what do you say you replace me, fight alongside Andrejz, Ren and Rudra?"
"Huh?!!!"
Andrejz and Rudra were surprised while Ren and Bosco had already guessed Cyriel's invitation.
"That...I'm not...sure"
Suddenly Rudra came to Mathias and patted his shoulder.
"Come on Mathias, be a little brave! I'm sure you can do it! After all, this is the third year the Black Roses have won twice!"
"Twice?..."
"Yes! The Black Roses have won twice! If they win again this year they will be triple winners!"
Andrejz hugged Mathias with words of encouragement.
"Let's beat the Black Roses!"
Cyriel saw Mathias who was hugged by Rudra and Andrejz and just smiled and nodded in agreement with what Rudra said.
There was a knock on the door of their headquarters, a man with glasses gave them a letter.
"Have both clubs written their representatives?"
The man nodded and gave the letter to Riley.
He opened the letter, the palpitations were awaited by all of them, As soon as Riley read the contents of the letter.
"Black Roses representatives Jaivyn, Tigran,Zante and Raivo"
"Knight Wolf representatives Evander, Cihan, Xhesi and Mircea"
"That's right, so my prediction was correct, this time the club leader will not enter this match..."
"Yes, you're right Cyriel, this time they sent their members who are said to be good and crazy to fight"
"Damn it, I have to fight with Jaivyn? That big man... I hope I'm not put in the same group as him!"
"You're too coward Andrejz..."
"That's not true Ren! Jaivyn's problem is that he never shows his magic power, he often uses the natural strength of his strong body!"
"His power is Animal Power"
They all looked at Johan who was silent and finally spoke.
"Animal power?!"
"Jaivyn can use the power of every animal living on this earth? Want your punch to be the strongest? Use the strength of a gorilla? Want to be fast and agile? Use the strength of a cheetah"
"What the f...his power is strong too..."
Andrejz swallowed his saliva pounding, Johan added anally.
"But the disadvantage is that the time that can be used is only two minutes, in those two minutes if one of you fights him, try to survive as best you can"
The four of them nodded in understanding, Johan held his chin still confused.
"About the strength of the Knight Wolf Expert, because we rarely interact and meet them so it's a bit difficult to analyze it"
"Then just finish them off, seize that position, never let them all win"
"Ren!!!"
"Wahhh Ren, you're so sure! It's fitting for a descendant of heroes!"
Rudra and Adrejz hugged and praised Ren, until he felt short of breath.
"I can't breathe, idiot"
They were both knocked down by him and let go of the hug, while Riley and Mathias spoke for the first time.
"I'm sure you can, so be sure"
"Thank you, I appreciate that, I promise you, that I will win the match"
Cyriel and Johan just smiled while Bosco just eavesdropped on their conversation.
BLACK ROSES HIDEOUT
"Ehhhh that's right! Hey you guys look! It's true they sent Mathias!"
Hajoon was surprised by the anticipated change of experts who were supposedly Mathias replacing Cyriel.
"So Jan's prediction was correct"
Jan just smiled and drank warm tea with Jaivyn.
"So Cyriel really gave in for Mathias, Jan"
"Yes...that's why this year's match will be exciting, Jaivyn I have high hopes for you
"You can trust us Jan"
Tigran and the others just smiled at Jan.
KNIGHT WOLF'S HIDEOUT
Leo seemed to be holding back his anger, he was calmed down by Rejal and Damian.
"Damn!"
He slammed the table hard, holding back his anger.
"There is no other choice, we have to send the best from our club, no need to try anymore, we have to defeat Mathias and take him"
"Gael continue analyzing, you don't have to fight because Cyriel was replaced by Mathias"
Gael could only breathe a sigh of relief calmly.
"Thank goodness he changed his mind, didn't want me to enter that brutal competition"
Damian continued to stand and look at the four of them.
"Evander, Xhesi...Cihan and Mircea"
"Have you rested your bodies for next week?"
"Yes...don't worry Damian, I'll lead them
Xhesi appeared confidently, Gael only looked at the other experts who were still silent listening to Xhesi's response.
"It seems they agree with what Xhesi said"
"Last year, none of our representatives made it to the semifinals, this time Mathias added...Leo became excited"
"Why Rejal?, is there something bothering you?"
"I got some unpleasant news"
"That the paparazzi from all over the world will be here"
"What?!"
Leo immediately got up with a big smile, he immediately hugged Rejal.
"This time Knight Wolf must win no matter what!!!"
They all nodded confidently, while Leo danced with Rejal, Gael only read the real situation.
"But if the paparazzi has come, won't the competition format be changed, it could be a killing field, but we are the princes..."
"Not like all of them..."
"I expected...Mathias would surprise all the participants, with the arrival of the paparazzi "Did the Monarch deliberately expose the privacy of Mathias and this academy?"
"After hundreds of years?, why is Mathias in their target, what's wrong with that boy... he's definitely not a descendant of an ordinary person after the second resurrection, a disease that is very rare in a hundred years!"
"Tomorrow I have to go out to the city and find information about Mathias' close family, but... who has that information?"
"Gael? Are you okay, you look pale?"
Damian patted Gael's shoulder which surprised him from disappearing into his own thoughts.
"Ouh I'm okay thank you for worrying about me Damian..."
Damian just smiled before Gael left holding his glasses repeatedly.
THE NEXT DAY.
On his day off, Mathias seemed to be studying diligently because after the competition there would be an academy test, he had to organize his studies, then he went to the library and ran into Gael.
"The Leo member who looked so angry in class the other day, should I talk to him..."
Gael who seemed focused was suddenly surprised and looked down, he saw a figure he knew.
"Mathias Easton?!"
He immediately closed his book and was about to leave but was stopped by Mathias.
"Do you know about the Theosemnos"
"What???"
"I don't know anything about them, I don't want to deal with you..."
When Gael was about to leave, Mathias left some deep words for Gael.
"One day, I will go to the Holy City of Katharos"
The sentence made Gael stop, he stiffened and looked at the entire library, he immediately pulled Mathias.
"What do you want to know about that?"
"The truth behind all this, why is there still a caste system that is too cruel and open? What is special about them to us? Aren't we all human??"
The blue eyes shone seriously, for the first time he felt that there was something about Mathias that others didn't dare to tell them, a race that was said to be holy.
"Shut up! If their spies found out about you insulting them, you could be beheaded in front of everyone and treated like a pet!!!"
Mathias just kept quiet watching Gael holding both of his shoulders in fear.
"I have nothing to do with you!"
Gael continued to walk away in fear, Mathias continued to hold his aching shoulder tightly held by Gael.
"Theosemnos..."
AFTERNOON: ACADEMY TRAINING HALL
Seeing Andrejz and all the other Golden Prince members waiting for Mathias, Mathias was walking thoughtfully alone.
"Are you okay Mathias?"
"Oh I'm fine, maybe my brain is tired from the training and studying"
Mathias smiled at Cyriel and Cyriel patted his shoulder.
"Before training, go warm up first to avoid injury"
"Okay, I understand, thanks for the advice"
During training, Mathias saw Andrejz easily resisting the pressure from Cyriel.
"Not surprised anymore, Andjrez's physique is very strong...with that body and height it's impossible to lose, I have to try again"
"Mathias it's your turn, you fight Ren"
Mathias saw Ren who tied her hair and seemed to be ready to fight him, he felt his heart pounding for the first time.
"The rules are simple, stay in this circle for 3 minutes, whoever among you leaves will lose"
They both nodded at Johan's instructions, and immediately shook hands to show respect.
Mathias's strategy was only to defend himself by using the strength of his lower body, his legs.
"1 2 3 start!!!"
Ren began to attack Mathias by holding his lower body, physically Ren was twice as strong as Mathias which made it difficult for Mathias to stop him, he tried to put his foot in the middle of Ren to support the load but failed.
Ren continued to hug Mathias, he put his legs behind him then Ren held Mathias' upper body tightly to throw his body to the floor hard, but was surprised Mathias used both legs so that he landed safely and escaped from Ren's grip.
"This prince is very strong! He doesn't speak but he acts aggressively, those eyes look like they want to eat me I have to last two more minutes!"
Mathias said in his mind helping him to survive Ren's attack, Cyriel gave encouragement to his new partner.
"Attack Mathias don't just defend, that's the only way to win!"
Mathias saw Cyriel who gave him encouragement, then he saw Riley who sat calmly crossing his arms while making eye contact with him.
"I have to attack!!!"
Mathias continued to attack Ren, he was suddenly surprised, the small boy attacked him hard he tried to defend, they fought by trying to knock each other down using their legs.
While Ren was trying to defend Ren's attack, suddenly Mathias continued to push Ren causing him to almost fall.
"Where is he?!!"
When Ren woke up again he saw Mathias who had disappeared in front of him, he immediately reacted quickly but slowly.
Mathias was already behind him he pulled Ren's body, then dropped him on the outside line 5 seconds before the time ran out.
"TIME END!!! MATHIAS WIN!!!"
Mathias who was on Ren's body immediately got up and sighed deeply, Ren got up and held out his hand.
"Good job Mathias"
"Thank you Ren, I'm sorry if I was rude to you"
"It's okay that's part of the game, you're cool too...if you train your muscles, your strength will increase"
"Thanks for the advice"
"REN!!!"
"MATHIAS!!!"
The two of them who spoke while smiling were immediately hugged by Andrejz and Rudra.
"You two are cool!!!"
"The four of us will definitely win!!!"
"Good job Ren, Mathias"
"That voice..."
Mathias turned his face to see Bosco who smiled slightly at him.
"I'm Bosco, don't you remember?"
"Bosco, I remember"
"Thank you"
"Mathias, your defense is really good, you just need to sharpen it again, keep being perfect"
"Cyriel...I owe you"
"So buy me something to eat from now on"
Mathias just smiled after hearing Cyriel's teasing"
Mathias' eyes were still searching until he saw Johan.
"Are you looking for Riley, Mathias?"
"Where is he?"
"He went to the toilet, don't worry...it's good for you to take a break after this second practice"
"Ahh...it's good I understand"
When Riley went to the bathroom, he saw Gael washing his hands, they made eye contact.
"What was the right decision to enter the boy into the Riley competition?"
"...."
Riley didn't answer Gael's question, until Gael had to face Riley.
"You must know...Monarch must be investigating Mathias' origins!"
"I'm not sure what you're talking about..."
"Stop pretending anymore!! If Mathias is really under the observation of the World Government, I can't forgive you Riley!!!"
"How many boys have you fooled! Why are you sure this boy is the one they're looking for!!"
"How did Cyriel, who used to not want to be friends with you, suddenly change?!"
"What's so special about Mathias! Riley?"
Riley continued to push Gael to the bathroom door, he was holding back his anger.
"I told you, didn't I?!"
"I don't know, I haven't collaborated with Ilya, don't give me a hard time Gael"
"You have to question your family who are their dogs!!!"
Gael who became furious because Riley mentioned his family continued to punch Riley, they returned the punches.
Gael's glasses broke, the incident was seen by other students who asked for help.
"Cyriel!!!...Riley and Gael!!!"
The student continued to tell about the heated situation, all the Golden Prince members ran to the sign to see the heated situation.
Other students crowded in the toilet, hearing Gael's screams.
"You don't know about my damn family!!!"
Before Gael who was bleeding badly with Riley, he was stopped and held by Rudra and Andrejz while Riley was held by Bosco, Johan and Ren while Cyriel stopped them both.
Mathias looked confused, he saw Riley's face covered in blood with Gael, Gael who was trying to hold back his anger at Mathias.
"This is all your fault!!!"
"Mathias Easton!!!"
All of them, the students there looked at Mathias who looked shocked and confused.
"Me???"
"Why..."
