....I can't tell you....."(Leon)

"...Dad!!"(Forvish)

I shout at dad.

"Forvish, I will answer you one question. It is fake rumour. It can't evolve a person's mana."(Leon)

"Then why, why everyone wants it!?"(Forvish)

"......"(Leon)

It is useless to ask him any futher. I will search for the answers myself.

"Fine, forget it dad. It is useless for me to expect anything from you."(Forvish)

I left, then I go outside....As I sit on the park...I kept wondering. This is the first time dad didn't tell me something.

"Good night..."(????)

A handsome blonde young man was standing in front of me.

"Who are you!?"(Forvish)

I immediately jumped back because I was surprised.

"Oh, sorry my name is King Vertigo. You can call me the king."(King)

What an odd name...But I must respond.

"Forvish, Forvish Edwaltz nice too meet you."(Forvish)

As we handshake, I could tell he is strong, but what does he want from me.

"Forvish, the girl named Shiroyuki is she yours!? The one whose mana recently evolved."(King)

Immediately I entered my battle stance, is he an enemy!?

"Who gave you that information."(Forvish)

"It is a secret. I won't take whats yours, besides I am interested in you."(King)

"What!"(Forvish)

"Forvish, I will be blunt, do you know the meaning of this tournament!?"(King)

I shake my head as I don't know.

"I see, then I will sum it up, the tournament is the means to change the goverment system."(King)

"I see."(Forvish)

That's why dad didn't tell me...

"Forvish, what is the most important thing in the world!?"(King)

"To protect the person I love."(Forvish)

I give him my honest answer.

"What, you need to protect!? It is strengh, power isn't it."(King)

I don't know what to answer.

"Forvish, have you seen what the other schools are like? Have you noticed how each school has a different style."(King)

"Yeah.."(Forvish)

"Forvish, each school have it owns meaning, it is like a small nation. The nation that wins will be given authority on the goverment."(King)

"To sum it up, you want to win and get that authority."(Forvish)

"Exactly."(King)

"I refuse."(Forvish)

"Why?"(King)

He is still calm as ever but I noticed he is a person that I can't work with, talk with, because we are sworn enemy.

"I am not inerested in power abuse like you. It is you isn't it who made Shiroyukis mana evolve."(Forvish)

"You are sharp, but you are right."(King)

"As expected, I also get the feeling you will sacrifice anything to get power."(Forvish)

"A king needs to be able to sacrifice his subjects, so the nation can grow. It is pretty common to me, will you change your mind? If you become my servant, no my assistant, I will grant you a great life."(King)

He smiled. Yeah I won't refute that, I can't trust this person, a person who is dirtier than a rat.

"....I refuse."(Forvish)

"I see. Then I will kill you!! I already broke all of the cameras around here."(King)

Immediately he summons his mana body and manarizes..

It is a great sword like Shiroyuki's brother.

So annoying, but thanks for informing me though, now I will kill you. I draw my swords, he appears in front of me in instant, so slow I thought, so I cast Speedburst and thought one move is enough.

Twin Swords Secret Skill-Second Skill "Sky grave!"

I cut him into pieces, he lost, his mana body dissapear immediately.

"Why, you are stronger than the data says! You aren't this fast! why does my ability not work?"(King)

"Your data is outdated, you aren't worthy to fight me. Even if your ability is great, let me see your ability is mimicry isn't it? You can copy your enemys ability or your friends, isn't King Vertigo from Black Soldier. I already researched about you, I never knew you were this young though."(Forvish)

I didn't hold back yesterday but I also didn't use my full power, I also didn't cast Speed Boost nor Physical Boost. As long as I have enough mana for Lune, my body is the same, no stronger than the me who casts Physical Boost, besides I am still in range, 5 kilometres from Lune so the buff is still on.

"Just who are you!"(King)

"A person that loves his family very much. If you bother my family again I will kill you."(Forvish)

I give him cold glares, this is a serious threat, I won't give mercy on my enemies.

"Wait, I am not done yet. Servant!! Kill Him!!"(King)

"Yes sir!!!"(Servant)

Still want to fight eh!? Your mana body is destroyed isn't it, looks like I need to teach you a lesson. As they attack me I casted a wind magic.

Wind Arrow x100

"Bye."(Forvish)

Immediately the servant is shot by it, my magic ability is stronger after I summoned Lune.

"......You aren't human."(King)

He is really afraid..What a weak King.

"Hey, still want to continue!? Let me see if you want to, to let me let you live. You must do me favor. Of you if you don't I will kill you."(Forvish)

"...What! I will do anything so please spare me"(King)

"It is simple, just give up on the tournament, Including your school. If you don't do it, I will kill you."(forvish)

He nods crazyly.

Am I really that scary? I smiled from the start, well who cares. Bye bye fake King. I returned to my home.

Narator POV

"What a useless person."(Black hooded person)

He steps in after Forvish is gone.

"You...Why, didn't you tell me he was this strong."(King)

"I didn't know, but this is a good chance for my plan."(Black hooded person.)

Immediately he thrusts his sword to the Kings chest.

"Why, you betray me!! I gave you money!!"(King)

"You are just pawn. So let me devour you~~"(Black hooded person)

Immediately the sword becomes like a snake and starts to devour him.

"Someone save me!!"(King)

"Bye bye King."(Black hooded person)

Even though the King started to cry no one can hear him, because he already sealed this area trying to kill Forvish as if he wants.

"Mimicry huh. It is good ability indeed. At least you become good fodder for my mana. Time for cleaning."(Black hooded)

He continued to devour the servant who is passed out after being hit by Forvishs magic.

"Now, I shall become the king!"
