Chapter 60

In the fourth round of the competition, the three children fought for a long time. Jedan and Cai Hong were covered in blood. Both of them were lying on the ground with injuries and were very tired, panting. Akira was also covered in blood, sitting and panting. Akira's face was covered in wounds from punches, smiling at the two children lying on the ground. "As promised, Mr. Cai Hong?" Jedan tried to stand up, but his body couldn't take it because he had exceeded his limits. His body was covered in wounds, causing blood and some bones to break. Tears slowly started to flow again because now the results were known. The two children who couldn't fight anymore made it so that what Cai Hong said had to be done. Jedan showed his utmost pain, his face twisted as if he was about to lose his friend. "I can still do it... I can still do it... I can still do it, so don't give up yet, Cai Hong... I'm about to get up... So don't give up yet... I'm about to get up. So don't give up yet. Move, move, move, move, move, move, say move!!!!!„Ajdan tried to stand up but his legs were all over the place. Jedan who was lying face down started dragging himself towards Akira to tell him that he could still fight. Blood covered his face and his clean white shirt was now covered in blood and dust. His heart was still resolute but his body was telling him that he couldn't do it anymore.

Cai Hong got up and walked thud, thud, thud, thud, and sat in front of Jedan with difficulty. "Hold on. Ahhh. Does this really hurt? Fighting, huh?" Cai Hong still smiled. Akira who was sitting looking at Cai Hong who was sitting in front of Jedan started reaching out to pat Jedan's head. "It's already decided. So please give up before I start to get scared. The two of you Jedan have already fought your heart out. So this is the result. Just accept it." Jedan who was lying on the ground tried to look up. "Calm down. I'm getting up now. So wait a moment, I'm about to get up, so... "Jedan tried to get up but couldn't, both legs were broken. Jedan was so sad that he tried to turn to Akira and beg him, but Akira shook his head angrily. "Don't make me say it again, and your friend can only walk this far, so don't step on her courage. Mr. Cai Hong is very brave, I will guarantee it. " "Don't be weak, Akira, don't be weak, each person you meet has their own hardships. You can still help others more, so if you don't start now from the children you can help, you will die here for nothing." Akira felt heavy with blood all over his face.

Jedan looked up at Cai Hong who was smiling at himself. "Hurry up and give up, your journey is not over yet. So if you feel sorry for me, then be better than this and defeat Akira for me. So go before it's too late. I can still compete again. Next time, don't hold back. I will fight to the end. When we meet again, I will greet you myself, okay?" Cai Hong's face showed bravery. Some people might think it was pointless, but there was only the word bravery. There was nothing that could decide what bravery was. Jaden was silent for a moment, turned to look at Akira, and tried to remember Akira's face clearly. He looked at him with anger that he would not give up this time. "If we meet again, I will kill you myself. So don't die before I get revenge." Jaden looked at Cai Hong, gritted his teeth in anger, and said slowly, "I… I… give up… I lose…" The golden light shone on Jaden's body, causing Jaden to start not seeing Cai Hong and disappearing. Jaden appeared in his bedroom, covering his crying face with his right arm.

Cai Hong, who saw his friend disappear, was about to say he gave up, but Akira spoke up first. "Don't give up yet. I have something to ask you." Cai Hong turned to look at Akira, tears streaming down his face, along with fear. Akira, whose face was covered in wounds, stood up and walked towards him. Tuk Tuk Tuk, and stood looking at Cai Hong, who was looking up at Akira with tears in his eyes. "What is it?" Akira nodded and extended his right hand to Cai Hong. "I have a proposal. The first one is that if you want me to give up this time, that's fine. The second one is that I'm collecting a total of a thousand red stars to ask A to change the rules so that if a child gets eleven black stars, they will be locked up and trained only, not die instead."

Cai Hong was confused and shocked because Akira asked himself why. "A thousand stars? This much? Will it really be gathered? The total number of children here may be ten thousand, but a thousand red stars, it takes too long to gather, right?" Akira nodded. "That's why I'm making you an offer. Do you have a chance to gather ten red stars? I want to help other children. This time, I'll give it up because it will take a long time. The longest might be ten years, the shortest is four years, and the shortest is five years. What do you say? Will you lose for others or fight for yourself? I'll give you the right to decide this time. Will you want to give up or believe my empty words?" Akira is serious about giving up to Cai Hong. Cai Hong pretended to think, hoping that he would survive, but shook his head and wiped his tears. "No need. Because this place is not as nice as I thought. Plus, seeing the hopes of other children in front of me like this makes me feel a bit more at ease. If it were before, I would have chosen for myself. But now, if you gave other children a chance to survive, at least I would believe that. I didn't lose at all." Cai Hong tried to stand up slowly. Akira followed her without blinking. Cai Hong smiled at her. "Even though I passed this round, I'm sure I'll lose next round. And thank you for taking my punches so beautifully. Even though you look like this, you can tell that Nom got punched, right?" Cai Hong bowed his head to thank Akira for taking it easy.

Akira smiled at her. "You're not thinking of changing your mind, are you?" Cai Hong shook his head and smiled. "You can't do that. You have to be more decisive. But can you promise me that you'll succeed in this plan?" Akira smiled with all his confidence. He raised his right hand and slapped his fist on his chest. "Definitely." Akira's confidence showed Cai Hong. "In this case, I'm the best. So, I can definitely do this." Cai Hong nodded. Akira smiled. "I can stay a little longer. I just need someone to collect the bracelet."

"No, if I stay, I might change my mind. So, you just do what I said earlier. Even if the other kids call you heartless, I'll bet. I'll always be by your side. As long as you don't break your promise." Cai Hong took a deep breath and looked up at the sky. "I admit defeat."

The golden light slowly enveloped Cai Hong's body. Akira looked at him without blinking. "It seems that this decision must be made. There is no such thing as failure!?" "This is what is called true courage, not a fake one that was created. But it was a courageous decision. Akira looked without blinking. Cai Hong disappeared. Akira stood like that for a long time, then went back to sleep. Time passed slowly. Day by day, and on the thirtieth day, Akira put the bracelet on the radar. Collecting all one hundred bracelets, the golden light took Akira away. Akira appeared in his own room. Akira looked ahead while sitting on the bed.

Seeing A standing looking at herself, "Congratulations, you are the only winner. You have also collected a hundred bracelets, and there are only two villagers. So we have decided to give the red star to you, Perron. Now, "Let's go back to the past before Akira entered the competition. A explained the special rules for wanting more red stars. "This round, you have to collect a hundred bracelets, and there are eight wolves and two villagers. You have to eliminate all the wolves. That is your winning condition for this round. If you lose, you will get three black stars. And you are absolutely forbidden from killing other children. If you cannot do any of these things, you will lose as usual." Akira nodded. Back in the present, A handed Akira two red stars. "This is the prize, two red stars." Akira took them. A walked over to treat Akira's wounds.

A, who had finished treating Akira's wounds, stood up. "The competition will be held the next day. Do you want to exchange for the red stars?" Akira shook his head. "No, I'd rather sleep." Akira walked out of the room. "A thousand stars, can you really do it? Right now, I only have three red stars." Akira rested and his body felt better. "This is a dangerous competition. If others find out about me, I'll definitely lose." Akira thought about it and fell asleep.
