Night time.
Inside a stadium located in the amusement park, Precious, Pretty, Kaji, Kuku, Tain, Pintu, and Khan were standing together.
Just moments ago—
Precious had fired an arrow into the sky.
The arrow pierced the fish flying high above, tore through the clouds, and continued flying straight into space.
Everyone stood there in shock.
Kaji (thinking):
"W-What the heck…?!"
"Why is this kid so powerful?!"
Pretty proudly crossed her arms.
Pretty:
"Hmph."
Meanwhile—
That same arrow continued flying through space at an incredible speed.
It traveled hundreds of light-years away.
Far beyond the place where the First True Dragon and his three primordial guards once stood.
Then—
It struck a sun.
A massive explosion occurred.
Back on the planet Elaria, no one had any idea what had just happened.
Inside the stadium, Kaji cleared his throat.
Kaji:
"O-Okay… okay…"
Trying to regain his composure, he turned around and began walking away.
Kaji:
"There are still three more tests."
Soon, everyone arrived at a place that looked like a race arena.
Inside the arena were several huge bulls.
Each one was two to three meters tall, with black skin and red horns.
They looked extremely dangerous.
Kaji pointed at them.
Kaji:
"For the next test, you must control one of these bulls…"
"And ride it."
Kuku immediately protested.
Kuku:
"What?!"
"Father, you know those bulls are dangerous!"
"Not everyone can control them!"
"Only trained professionals or beast controllers can do that!"
"And neither Precious nor Tain are anything like that!"
Pintu also looked worried.
Pintu:
"Y-Yes, Father… and they're still children."
Kaji shrugged.
Kaji:
"So what?"
"If they want to marry my grandchildren, they should at least know how to do this."
He pointed at the bulls proudly.
Kaji:
"This is a rich people's sport."
"Controlling and racing red-horn bulls."
Then he added casually,
Kaji:
"If you don't like it, simply cancel the marriage."
Suddenly—
Tain stepped forward.
Tain:
"I will accept this challenge."
Kaji smiled slightly.
Kaji:
"Go ahead."
"Try your luck."
Tain walked toward one of the red-horn bulls.
The moment the bull saw her—
It lowered its head and prepared to attack.
But suddenly—
Quefer took control of Tain's body.
An overwhelming presence burst out.
The bull immediately became frightened.
Moments later, Tain regained control of her body and calmly climbed onto the bull's back.
Kaji's eyes widened.
Kaji:
"She did it…!"
Khan stared in disbelief.
Khan:
"I can't believe this…"
"Even I can't control those red-horn bulls."
"Then how did she…?"
Tain looked at Kaji.
Tain:
"Sir Kaji, is this enough?"
Kaji coughed awkwardly.
Kaji:
"Y-Yes… yes."
"Now it's your turn, Precious Fiz."
Precious stepped into the arena.
The moment he took his first step—
All the bulls suddenly stopped moving.
Even those that were eating raised their heads and stared at him.
Kaji crossed his arms.
Kaji:
"Hmph."
"Even the bulls don't like this kid."
Kuku looked worried.
Kuku:
"Oh, Precious…"
Then Precious took his second step.
Suddenly—
All the bulls rushed toward him.
Everyone panicked.
Everyone:
"Precious!!"
Kaji laughed loudly.
Kaji:
"Hahaha!"
"I told you!"
"This kid won't pass!"
But Pretty pointed forward calmly.
Pretty:
"Grandfather."
"Look again."
Kaji frowned.
Kaji:
"Hm?"
He looked toward Precious—
And froze.
All the bulls had surrounded Precious in a circle.
But instead of attacking—
They were licking him affectionately.
Some were even rubbing their heads against him.
Kaji's jaw dropped.
Kaji:
"W-What?!"
"Those bulls don't even let professionals ride them easily!"
"And now they're showing affection to Precious?!"
"Are you kidding me?!"
Pintu stood there completely stunned.
Pintu:
"This is… this is just…"
Tain, Khan, and Kuku were also shocked.
Only Pretty looked extremely happy.
Kaji quickly shouted.
Kaji:
"Okay!!"
"There are still two tests left!"
Soon they arrived at another area.
On a table was a robotic arm machine.
Tain looked at it curiously.
Tain:
"What is this, Sir Kaji?"
Kaji smirked.
Kaji:
"Hmph."
"Your next test is Claw Fight."
"Defeat this machine."
Inside his mind, he thought confidently.
Kaji (thinking):
"This is impossible for those kids."
"This system was created by a robot from Doom Eternity."
"It has the strength of one hundred elephants."
He pointed at the machine.
Kaji:
"Now go."
Tain stepped forward.
Tain:
"Okay."
"Here I go."
Quefer immediately took control again.
The match began—
And ended quickly.
Tain easily defeated the machine.
Inside her mind, Quefer spoke.
Quefer:
"That wasn't even that powerful."
Kaji's face turned pale.
Kaji:
"Are you kidding me…?!"
Khan looked amazed.
Khan:
"Wow… Tain is that strong?!"
Kaji slowly turned toward Precious.
Kaji:
"N-Next… is you…"
Inside his mind he begged desperately.
Kaji (thinking):
"Please say you can't do this…"
Precious stepped forward and grabbed the claw handle.
CRACK!
The machine instantly broke.
A small explosion followed.
Precious blinked.
Precious:
"Oh."
Kaji nearly collapsed.
Kaji:
"!!?!"
"T-The final challenge is still left!"
Soon they entered a library.
Two tables stood in front of them.
Each table was covered with books.
Kaji pointed at them.
Kaji:
"The books on these tables are your final test."
"You must learn all the books from one table in two hours."
He pointed left.
Kaji:
"Tain, you take the left table."
Then right.
Kaji:
"Precious, you take the right one."
Pretty looked shocked.
Pretty:
"But Grandfather, learning that many books in only two hours is impossible!"
Kaji smirked.
Kaji (thinking):
"Yes… impossible."
"Unless they're not normal humans."
Inside Tain's mind—
Quefer:
"Sorry. I can't help you with this."
Tain smiled slightly.
Tain:
"Don't worry."
"I didn't become Doramai's Student President for nothing."
"I'm very good at studying."
"These books will be difficult, but I can do it."
Pintu still looked uneasy.
Pintu:
"Father… this is too much."
Kaji shrugged.
Kaji:
"If my future son-in-law and daughter-in-law aren't intelligent, what's the point?"
"They should at least know this much."
Everyone stood silently.
Khan clenched his fists.
Khan (thinking):
"Please pass this test, Tain…!"
Kaji raised his hand.
Kaji:
"Your time starts now."
Suddenly—
Precious spoke.
Precious:
"Done."
Everyone froze.
Kaji shouted angrily.
Kaji:
"Precious!!"
"This is too much!"
"There are ten books here!"
"No one could finish them in two hours!"
"Even five hours wouldn't be enough!"
"And you're saying you finished everything in one second?!"
Precious answered calmly.
Precious:
"Yes."
Meanwhile, Tain continued reading the books seriously.
Kaji clenched his teeth.
Kaji:
"Then answer some questions!"
Precious:
"Please ask, Sir Kaji."
Kaji began questioning him.
Kaji:
"What is the name of the summoner who summoned Dhuma, the King of Sky?"
Precious:
"His name is Galtari Mario."
Pintu nodded immediately.
Pintu:
"That's correct!"
Kaji asked another.
Kaji:
"Who is the first hero of the Shin Kingdom?"
Precious:
"Suafisia."
"She is the first hero and a female hero of the Shin Kingdom."
Khan nodded.
Khan:
"Right."
Kaji continued.
Kaji:
"What is the most dangerous curse?"
Precious:
"Eternal Sleep."
"It can place any being into an infinitely deep sleep."
"But the caster must sacrifice their own life."
"And depending on how powerful the target is, more people may be required for the sacrifice."
Kuku gasped.
Kuku:
"That's also correct!"
Kaji took a deep breath.
Kaji:
"L-Last question."
"How did the great war that happened 1,000 years ago end?"
Precious answered instantly.
Precious:
"The war began because of the Ent King."
"It ended when he was captured."
"He is still alive and imprisoned in a kingdom's prison."
Kaji stood there in shock.
Kaji (thinking):
"He really learned everything in one second…?!"
Pretty proudly puffed her chest.
Pretty:
"Hmph! Hmph! Hmph!"
"My Eye is the best!"
Just one minute remained before the two-hour limit.
Then Tain suddenly closed her book.
Tain:
"Done!"
"Finally… done!"
Kaji looked at her.
Kaji:
"Then I'll ask you questions as well."
He asked several questions—
And Tain answered all of them correctly.
Tain:
"And that's all."
Khan jumped excitedly.
Khan:
"You did it, Tain!"
"You passed all the tests!"
Kaji looked completely lost.
Kaji (whispering):
"This… this isn't possible…"
"How can these brats…?"
Then suddenly—
His eyes lit up.
Kaji:
"There's still one final test!"
Everyone looked confused.
Kaji pointed at Precious and Tain.
Kaji:
"Fight me."
"If you win…"
"I will accept this marriage."
Everyone stood there completely shocked.
