Chapter 183 - 175

'White ceiling'

'Comfortable bed'

'Decent size room'

'Bathroom with shower'

'And a chair, closet and small table'

Chun checked everything in her room and she was satisfied with the service of the school. Although she didn't think that rooms provided for the teams in Intercompetition were so decently enough though a bit excessive. The duration of the Intercompetition was one month and within that month, all of the activities were performed and it would be said that this room that they would be staying was like for display, they wouldn't be able to enjoy these services when the main event would start. In fact, the silver haired young man was despairing about her double-foamed bed and fluffy blanket.

Knock! Knock!

The door was widely open and it was easy to see that the silver haired youth was lying and rolling on her cozy bed. Her things were yet to put in the closet as it was still stored in her spatial storage. The only convenient similarity that this mission world had given her was this spatial storage although it was called space bag but Chun preferred to use the former than the latter (in her mind).

Feng Zi saw his youngest brother's comfortable position. The youth's silver white hair was the only thing that could confirm that Chun was lying on the bed due to the fluffy white blanket that was wrapped around her like a dumpling. His heart melted from the soft and warm atmosphere. He didn't want to disturb the other but the Captain was the one who called for a meeting.

"Hmm?" A crip and mellow voice was heard inside the coccon. The silver haired young man was lazy to move from the cozy space. 

"The Captain called for a meeting." Chun heard the familiar gentle voice near her bed. 

"Yes, Zi--"

"Big brother Zi," the second prince corrected. Feng Zi had begun to establish his big brother position after their royal father had confirmed their ninth brother's existence and he was firmed to this.

Chun rolled her eyes in secret while she pushed off the fluffy blanket covering her face and stood up.

She knew through the story that the Supreme Ruler had told her about their birth which happened one hundred years ago, it meant that her and her royal siblings were a hundred years old plus in common human age but the Supreme Ruler said that after they had 'hatched' out, their growth were very slow. So it could be said that when it was their fiftieth year, they started to grow a bit.

The silver haired young man didn't want to think about the complexity of these ages as it would only bring insanity to her. She didn't want to think complicated stuff.

"Lead the way, Big brother Zi!" A hint of reluctance could be heard from the tone but the second prince still smiled while ruffling the already messy hair of the latter. He then turned away and walked to the lounge room for Alliance.

While on the way, the silver haired young man was amazed by the floor that were ȧssigned to them. Frankly speaking, the five storey dormitory building was for the five participating teams while another dormitory which also had five floors were for another five teams. A total of ten participating teams for the ten nations here in Terapika.

Each floors had designated teams. 

When they arrived at the said meeting place, the silver haired young man was stunned due to this extravagance. She had no clue that they had lounge room here and this lounge room had a chandelier attached at its center ceiling and on a corner, there was a bar counter. But what caught her eyes were, glass chess pieces displayed on the coffee table at the center.

The place looked like a vacation house and it screamed luxury. Somehow, amidst to this grand and extravagant place, the aura of the people seating on the couches were gloomy.

"An expected 'surprise." Feng Zi commented while emphasizing the word surprise in his sarcastic tone. He went to the bar counter and mixed some colorful liquids with precise and expert movements. 

A swishing sound came out from his blue-green drink. "Might as well enjoy it."

"Show off." Lemon shrugged his shoulders while he took the other drinks that the second prince had made.

Even the gloomy Lollipop enthusiastically grabbed the ċȯċktail. With shining eyes, she said, "Sometimes you are useful, Vice Captain."

Feng Zi almost choked on his drink while Notalie laughed. Chun also chuckled, she was used to this gloomy girl. She seemed to be harmless while silently looking at you with glaring eyes but once she talked, you need to be prepared with her poisonous tongue.

The silver haired young man tried the ċȯċktail and she couldn't help but approve at the second prince' talent. She didn't expect that he was a bartender in his past life. (That was just a joke.)

Eliza didn't delay anymore as she opened, "I gathered you all today for tomorrow's event."

"Tomorrow's event? I thought that the usual opening of the Intercompetition is the day after tomorrow?" Notalie inquired while she played with her drink.

"The coordinators wanted to put a bit of spice so they made another event but is isn't part of the Intercompetition." Feng Zi clarified.

"Then what is it?" 

"It is called locked room play."

"Eh?!! What is that?"

"Never heard of it."

Chun didn't react while she silently listen. 

The curly haired youth shook the drowsy person beside him which awakened a bit the other.

"Hmm?" Berry asked.

"Do you hear what captain said?"

Berry nodded while he supported himself with his hand to not fall asleep. He was too lazy to listen as he knew already what would happen on this meeting.

The long black haired captain turned her sight to the silent silver haired young man and then she looked away. She started to explain the mini event for tomorrow. The coordinators hinted to the captains of each team that the event would be a locked room play and they were unfamiliar to it but as an intelligent captain, Eliza explained her insights.

While Chun heard this she somehow approved the other's deduction but she couldn't help but add her own.

"Captain, I think that we will be investigating."

Hearing that Eliza agreed also. It wasn't far to that. Finishing up. Eliza adjourned the meeting and she left. Even the second prince also left as he needed to follow up a plan for tomorrow. Notalie also followed the two while Lollipop surprisingly didn't follow the other.

Only the four of them were left. 

The curly haired young man suddenly broke the silence.

"Chun, you need to know our main rival before you could fully participate the Intercompetition!" Lemon said with enthusiasm. Even Lollipop nodded her head. Berry was left to sleep.

"Main rival? Rose?" Chun remembered the team that greeted them by the entrance. The silver haired young man wouldn't forget their vivid acts. They were good 'actors'.

"You got it right! Hehe. Truly, like minds think alike."

Lollipop frowned with the nonsense of the other while she replied, "Isn't it obvious?"

"Shh.. Lolli, don't be too annoying. So Chun, as your senior. I'll give you specific details about those seven rose people."

Lemon cleared his throat while he turned on his gossip mode. The silver haired young man couldn't help but think that this person was like Kai Sun, that talkative student of hers.

"The Rose was founded by the Chang brothers. Chang Min and Chang Jing. Did you remember the one with brunette hair and thick eyeglasses? That was Chang Min, he is a deceptive prick, full of tricks. He is a wood charm user and his younger brother was the one who had a gloved hands, Chang Jing. He seemed to be cute and harmless but his ability is terrible... A sub-type of wood charm, he turned poisonous with the things that he touched."

"The two of them, you should watch out for them in the doubles category. You would be partnering with captain in the doubles, so they're the ones you should watch out the most!" Lemon warned with horrified voice. If Chun wasn't aware that the other was just pretending with his act, he would be a good member to the Rose... Or maybe he is good with those actors?

"Next is the silent dude with black messy hair. Another one to watch out in the intellectual category. He is too smart, in short. His ability is metal charm but it is rare for him to use it."

"And those three dramatics a while ago are Lu Min, Wu Ming and Chen Yu. An emo playboy, a fake older brother, and a two-faced pure person. In the all-member category, they are the ones put on the offense. Lu Min is a Charmer with rare fire charm, blue fire. Wu Ming is an earth Charmer while Chen Yu is a water Charmer. And right, don't get conned with those three!"

Lemon said with warning on his tone but when he arrived at the last part, a sad faint smile emerged on his face.

"Yes.. last is Piero... The former captain of Alliance."
