Chapter 106 Clown and Magician
In the white room, Eden was resting in his room. After winning the eighth round of the battle, he gained three more red stars, making a total of nine. Eden, who had been training continuously for a month, walked in. "Follow me, it's time to compete." Eden followed E to a room. The two entered an empty room. Eden looked at Eden. "This round, there will be six players. They will be divided into two teams. Both teams must fight each other. The rule to win is to capture only one flag that we have given you. We have prepared only the flag on the radar. The location of the contestants is not specified. The rule is to hold the flag for ten minutes. No one else can know the location of each person. Only the flag has a location. You can use anything."
Eden nodded. "That means you have to hold the flag for ten minutes to be the winner, huh? That's easy. You have to fight for the flag while defending it?" "Yes, and each team of three can choose who will fight for the flag or protect their own flag to protect them instead." "That means the protection is our side, we can grab our own flag to escape, right?" "Yes, as long as the enemy team can't hold your flag for ten minutes, they can't win. On the other hand, it's the same for you. Whichever team can hold the flag for ten minutes first will be the winner."
Eden smiled. "That's easy. But let me ask you first. How do you get another red star?" "If you want one more star, you have to compete alone." "That's doable. How about another one?" "If you add another star, you won't be able to move the flag. Only the other team can move your flag." "You can't move it, but if you attack at the speed of light, that's fine. Need one more star. "If you add another star, you will be banned from using magic power." "Hmm, what should I do? If I hadn't met that firebird kid last time, I wouldn't have gotten hurt. But now I have to fight without a flag that I can carry around like this, I'm at a disadvantage. If the other side splits into three ways, I definitely won't have a chance."
Eden came out. "Just one point is enough." A nodded. "Two stars in total, and if you lose, three black stars will be added." He started sending Eden to the forest as usual. Eden looked at the white flag planted on a slightly higher hill. The flag wasn't waving back and forth. "White? It gets dirty easily." Eden walked to the hill and picked up the flag and held it up in the sky. "Yaaaaaa, I'm the winner." It was a picture of a young boy raising the flag in the sky with his face turned towards the flag. Eden, who had been raising the flag for a while, started to feel embarrassed. He took the flag down and held it. "It doesn't seem like the flag from the first round that was given. Fighting amongst yourselves, Eden lay down and looked at the radar.
Previously, in another white room, there was a human boy with short white hair, pink eyes, and cards in both eyes, smiling with a completely red mouth that was a smile. He was throwing a small knife to kill time. He had a smile on his face all the time. He had a black ring on his ring finger. "I want two red stars. I'll go show the three kids how to play cards." A, who was standing in front of the boy, nodded. "Okay." A sent the boy to the forest, exactly like the flag Aden saw. This boy with a smiling face walked over and spun the flag. The numbers on the back revealed the number 3456. His name was Kelan (a clown or magician). He had a black ring on his left ring finger. He held a small knife in his right hand. He shook the flag in his left hand because he was interested in his own flag. "This time, who will be able to snatch the flag from me?"
Kelan, who was smiling, looked up and saw the red dots starting to walk towards him. If the red dot moves, it means that the flag of the opposing team starts moving. If Kelan doesn't move the flag, it means Eden is on the opposing team. "Are you going to fight face to face? That sounds interesting. But isn't it too simple? If it were me, I should hold the flag and run away, and let the other two people snatch the flag. That's the basic idea. But I'm sure they're confident in their own skills. Let's go see. As for the flag, hold it in your left hand. That's enough to make you feel good. If it's so easy to snatch from me, then come and snatch it." Kelan, who was smiling, didn't show any signs of stopping. He took out the flag and walked towards Eden, who was also walking towards him. It seemed that this time, Kelan and Eden would both compete alone, making the match from a three-on-three team match turn into a one-on-one match instead.
On Kelan's side, Eden, who was holding the flag in his right hand and carrying a bow, looked at Radar. "That's strange. Those three kids over there, are thinking of accepting the challenge. But whether they accept or not, I'll definitely win easily. "Eye to tooth, nose to nose, what?" Eden walked forward without hurrying. After a while, Eden looked at the radar flag of the approaching opposing team. "It seems that they didn't rush to come this way. They even left a loophole, but there was no sign that anyone would come. Does that mean those guys are hesitating? No, I started walking since they were sent here." Eden took out the radar to look. He saw a red dot not far away, so he stopped to prepare a trap to wait for the opposing team. No, it was just a child.
Clan who was walking with a smile on his face, "No one is rushing to look here, so it means they came as a team." Clan looked at the radar and saw the red dot. He retreated instead, and he was wondering, smiling all the time. "Are you running away because you're scared? But you're almost there, so it means you set a trap there, right? But is it really true? Let the two children hide here. The flag bearer didn't dare to approach my direction, so he thought of baiting them to go his way instead. Because he was afraid that my side would play a trick, he had to retreat to let me go instead. »"Be careful, it's a pass, but you'll definitely be disappointed. I'm the only one." Kelan walked away with a smile on his face.
After a while, Kelan walked for a while and saw Aiden sitting and waiting, holding a flag in his left hand. There was no black ring because Aiden didn't plan to use it this time. Aiden saw Kelan walking and stopped away from him. Kelan was smiling. Aiden wondered, "Why are you smiling? Or did you experience something good?" Kelan, who was smiling, nodded. "Just smile. One day, you will die without being able to smile, so it's better to smile first. Don't make a face like this world is ugly. If everyone here smiled, this place would instantly become more beautiful. How can you smile so that people who see you will smile too? Smile." Kelan looked at Aiden sincerely.
Aiden smiled, "Like this?" "Yes, it is. Smiling is happiness." Kelan felt happy for Aiden who was smiling. Aiden stopped smiling immediately. "But, I don't agree. Smiling should come out by itself, not forcing yourself to smile. You seem abnormal. By the way, where are your other two friends? Don't think you can get my attention." Kelan nodded. "Don't worry. This time, I'm fighting alone, so you can rest assured. "Eden, come out. "Your face looks unreliable." "I apologize for that. It's been like this since I was a child and can't be changed."
Eden nodded. "Then what do you say is true? One-on-one or one-on-one?" "I'd rather have one-on-three." "You're so confident, don't you know? I'm a level two. My other two friends are also level two. Who do you think you are?" "I won't know if I don't try." Eden smiled and stood up. He threw the flag and planted it on the ground. The flag landed in the middle of both of them. Clan looked at him in confusion. Why did he throw his own flag? Normally, he had to protect the flag from two.
Clan, who was still smiling, "What are you going to do?" Eden waved his hand in challenge. "Let's do it. I'm good at speed. Let's have a duel. Who can steal which side's flag first?" "Huh… Is that a good idea? I'm pretty good too. Before you can hold my flag, you will die first. "It's fine, it's just one abnormal child, no need for my friends who are hiding, just this one Eden is enough. "Keln applauded, applause. "Excellent, excellent. "Keln with a bright smile immediately took an interest in Eden.
