This boy with earth affinity was playing with monsters. Though not as strong as Irina he was definitely stronger than the others.
This drew the attention of the kings.
And the king of Pearl Moon kingdom, Roman de Wulfric stood up from his seat.
How could king Roman not recognise this young man when he was so closely related!
Roman de Wulfric had always been a proud man but one incident happened three years ago that reshaped him into the cruel man he had become now.
Three years ago when passing through a valley in his own kingdom the carriages of the royal family was attacked.
Everyone fought desparately against the overwhelming number of bandits.
But suddenly they sensed the shift in the fight, the bandits were retreating.
Seeing this as a good sign they did not notice that these bandits had taken what they were here for.
After the bandits had retreated far away the king sensed something was wrong.
He expanded his senses and did not sense the bandits anymore.
Then he focused on his family members and realised something terrible.
His middle son who had always been sick and weak was nowhere to be found.
The second prince was missing, he frantically chased after the trails of the bandits but could not find them.
He figured they might have used teleportation. There must have been someone with them who could use such complicated magic.
There were only a few people who could teleport such huge number of people from one place to another.
Only people with mythical rank and above can use teleportation at such a huge scale.
Being a Saint himself like all the other kings he knew most of the strong beings in the werewolf domain.
Though the kings knew there was an organisation that was against them, but there was no proof.
He had a feeling that this kidnapping of his son was related to that secret organisation.
He had lived in guilt that had made him hollow for three years.
And now he was finally seeing his son after three long years as a commoner on the big screen in the hall.
He was feeling his guilt gnawing back at him. His son had grown up so much. Where was the sick boy who could not even stand up from his bed without anyone's help.
And now his son was not only standing and healthy, he was fighting monsters the others were struggling to keep up with the pace.
When the other kings also realised something was amiss. However they decided to wait until the exam was over.
The exam ended exactly after six hours with Irina at the top and the so called commoner on the second position.
This was an unexpected turn of events. A commoner in the top rankings.
While Aurelia was the third ranker, she was satisfied being in top ten of the first year.
The other prince and princess were fourth and fifth respectively.
Though they were not satisfied with their rankings, they had always aimed for the first place.
King Roman rushed forward to interrogate his son who had unexpectedly appeared after three years.
He took his son away from the crowd to his personal cabin.
The king was too worried for his son to care about the weird glances he was recieving from the people around him.
He engulfed his son into a warm hug as soon as they were away from the prying eyes of the people.
"Father. Its nice to see you again." The prince, Solomon said.
"Its really been too long since I have seen you. Where were you? I searched the whole werewolf domain looking for you."
"I know it all might be not possible for you to believe but I was not in the werewolf domain in the start when I was taken away from you by those people.
It might be a hassle of I tell you all that right now. But in short I was rescued with some other people who were locked up with me in that place."
The prince tried to explain in the shortest way possible.
"Who rescued you my son? Tell me. I must handsomely reward them for saving you." The king was delighted that his son was back to him.
" Father. Its 'her' . She rescued me with the other people who were apparently her aides.
I was with her for the last two years. And she trained me with her soldiers.
Also she was the one who helped me overcome the disease that I was suffering from."
" Are you talking about her my dear son? But isn't she from the Blue Moon kingdom? "
"Yes father. Her people had been taking care of me this whole time."
" Have you seen her face my son? I heard no one who had seen it is alive. If you want I can talk to king Doris to request for you to be with her."
" No father. Even in her own chamber her face is always covered. But she had always been pateint with me."
" Whatever. This is a joyous occasion. ' She' should be rewarded for saving you from the clutches of those people. I will talk to king Doris about this matter soon."

Outside the arena after an hour of rest the candidates will be giving the written exam.
There were always people who found theory boring and would skip it to practice their physical aspects.
So this was going to be a hell of an exam for some people.
While Irina was not one of them, she was glancing at the other people who were nervous around her but still determined to face the upcoming exam .
Irina had met up with Aurelia after the practical exam was over. The sisters talked about various things that Irina had missed during this one month.
They recounted on the mating ceremony of Lucian where their brother was blushing madly looking at his omega.
After sometime they saw Lucian coming towards them and they both giggled looking at each other having the same devilish thoughts.
When Lucian reached them he smiled and said, " It was a good fight both of you. You have made the kingdom proud."
But then he noticed the slightly mischievous glint in the eyes of his sisters and thought hard about what he had done wrong this time that his sisters were being the devils they are.
