Roams 23

A huge colloseum stood imposingly amidst the hilly and barren land.

The grand colloseum that have always been closed most of the time have harnessed a change that day, several gigantic gates of the colloseum was pulled wide opened. People stood in line, entering inside when they are done checked by the security that stood with a heavy and solemn mood at the entrance. They gave off a strong and menacing aura.

Today, the colloseum is opened because the inter-school competition will be held at the Grand colloseum that have stood there for millenials. How and when the gigantic colloseum stood there, none of the current era have the knowledge of its history.

As an existence that have stood there since antiquity, The Colloseum gave off a strong ancient aura, a monument that have existed for such a long time gave one a pressure as well as a grand momentum.

The colloseum was stood erect at the centre of Anarchy continent, on the No Man Land, a land that was not owned by any countries or territories.

At the higher special area seated people of high status.

Even a king of different teritories were present. This competition was not only for an inter school competition of different schools around the continent but also a competition between countries because after the school done their fight off, it will be time for the competition of the experts, competing amongst different countries.

If it was just a competition among the schools, there will not be such a large fanfare, not to mention, the use of the respected and treasured colloseum.

The inter school competition was just a smokescreen, a method to encourage the younger ones to work harder and make them witness and benefit from witnessing the fight of the experts.

Continous glance was cast at the isle where a beauty with black and white hair was seated.

The beauty have a menacing but poisonously beautiful spider lily blooming on her face. With the signature flower imprinted on her face, the beauty is naturally Illi, who by now was bored out of her mind.

The competition haven't started yet and there was nothing to do except to sit leisurely at the seat.

To rid of the boredom, Illi was writing some formula, did some modification on the incorrect method and try to mix the new formula, this was done all inside her mind. All the people could see was Illi sitting quitely on her seat, closing her eyes as if she was resting in a beautiful dream.

When the students of the Decan school entering the stadium was announced, only then did Illi open her eyes.

When Lillith enter the stadium, she tilt her head, searching for someone, as soon as her white pupils land on Illi, Little Lillith smile brightly waving at Illi. Smiling faintly, Illi wave back.

Fortis, who was behind Lillith eyes darken a bit, but when Illi eyes land on him, he felt a bit feverish and shy…. but still, his bright eyes resolutely gaze back at Illi. He want it to be like this, to be like this always, her eyes locking firmly only on him.

After Illi wave at him, her eyes shifted away which take away the brightness in Fortis eyes. He purse his lips, following the other Decan student but his eyes will sneakily shift back to Illi time to time.

Then... Fortis witness a very disturbing scene, a scene he exceptionally hate and detest.

A guy lean close to Illi, whisperig something in her ears which brought a chuckle to escape from Illi. Fortis fist clench, he narrowed his eyes, Who is he? Illi and the guy seems very close, but Fortis have never seen the guy in the four years time he was with Illi. Seeing the ever growing intimate scene, huge displeasure and discomfort rose in Fortis heart. His entire being became gloomy.

The situation on Illi side actually goes like this.

"You raised a bunch of weird kids" A black hair guy with a very ordinary dark brown eyes but having an exceptional appearance lean close to Illi, his lips almost grazing Illi ear.

"I think they are pretty normal" To Illi, the three kids are very normal, not different from others at all. Or they are but it was just Illi who look at them through her thick rose tinted glass.

"No, They are weirdly unique, as weird as you. They have that similar oddity like you" The guy smile slightly, his voice although contain a teasing tone, it also carried a hint of seriousness.

Illi tilt her head, smiling more brightly but didn't reply.

"Thats not very nice of you, calling my Salus weird. It must definitely because you normal people not being able to uderstand the greatness of my Salus" It was Salvare who spoke up, a hint of obsession leak out when praising Illi but was soon covered by a very soft gentle smile of hers.

The exceptionally good looking guy hook his lips up, after a mere glace at salvare, he shift his attention back to Illi "Heh…. This maid of yours as well, she has the same smell of oddity on her, Do you love collecting people of your kind?"

Illi chuckle, she did not answer but asked him another question instead "Which position do you intend to hold this time?'

The guy does not mind Illi changing the subject, he still answer good naturedly, very tolerant of Illi.

He tap on the armrest seemingly thinking of something while replying "A position a little bit higher than the last competition"

"Why not show your strength, and started going forwards stepping towards your desire, Long Qin?"

Grabbing the strands of hair that flew towards him, the guy or rather Long Qin fiddle with Illi hair like a child finding a very interesting toy "Its not time yet, I want to get the most benefit, I also wait for that big stir which I am expecting will happen soon"

Long Qin, a young ruler of the mid tier country, called Zoram country. From the outsider perspective, it was not a strong country, but not weak either. It was a very low key and passively active country. It makes one to easily forget Zoram country but also at the same time always leaves a very lasting impression whenever the country became active.

"All rulers seems to have this ambition, just that some hide well while some exposed openly" Ili state as if seems to deeply interested, but her expression gave off a plain uninterested impression. Political affairs and such is a very uninteresting topic for Illi.

"Isn't this wild ambition been awakened because I got the assistance of Nocturnus guild…." Thinking of something, Long Qin asked another question "Has that kind of pill which I demand almost completed"

"Almost" Illi does not comment on his first statement, assisting him was her grandpa decision, she didn't know shit about it.

And this Long Qin is the person whom Illi labelled as 'That Guy', the person whom the Nocturnus have the most business contact with. The assasination of Gurmund Politicians was also his bidding. Who wouldv'e thought that the most low-key ruler to be the most dangerous and scheming?

"How soon is that big stir that you often spoke of?, Long Qin"

Illi must be the only one who dare call directly a king by his name, but LOng Qin didn't mind. He was even a bit elated when Illi say his name.

Long Qin: "This year for sure"

Illi : "Hmmm…."

"Hngh…. BY the way, is that little light variant child of yours a cult preacher or something?"

Illi tilt her head, looking at him in confusion. Long Qin signal her with his chin raised towards where the Decan student seated "Look at the fervent gaze the student directed at you, it was like the expression and eyes of a deep cult believer. You seem to be the centre of their worship"

LOng Qin chuckle.

Illi glance down towards the Decan student which caused the students eyes to brighten. The gaze was not different from the expression of Illi previous Life infamous brain dead fans. Goosebumps rise all over Illi body perceiving the heated and fervent gaze directed at her.

Illi doubtfully thought whether she also has that great and powerful aura of an A rate celebrity. Those A rate celebrity are really powerful, no, its not them but their waves of fanatic and obsessed brain dead fans. It has always been 'You can offend anyone but an A rate celebrity' it is not the celebrity that is feared but the massive and collosal fans behind them. In a way, those celebrity are amazing to harness such amount of human force. Able to control such massive people.

Illi suddenly got excited, what if this people suddenly came forward and willingly became her subject because they deeply love her?

Aii…. no no no….Illi shook her head, trying to throw out that wonderful thought…. She is a very principled person.

Lillith have collected a large number of followers for nothing during the years she study at the school. She collected them all so that she could convert them into the avid fans and worshipper of her master. Her effort have paid off which put Lillith in a good mood. Her master is very awesome, filled with immense greatness, it is a must that she is worshipped and followed.

****

Amidst the clamouring crowds and heated discussion on which school will win, The competition finally commence.

[_Something about you is soft like an angel

And something inside you is violence and danger

I knew from the moment we met, you are a dangerous thing

When you are with me, I feel like I'm living

And living besides you can be unforgiving

I knew from the very first step, you are a dangerous thing_
