Chapter 256: Letter From the Dark-Bladed Shadows

On the day of the final battle royale, the battle on the Manuio Isle which was later called the "Might and Manuio Battle" was spread throughout the continent of Arcansas.

Meanwhile, ever since Avion woke up, he had been frowning after he read a note that appeared in his cell.

He hadn't ask anyone about it since he knew who the sender was. Well, he knew where the sender came from but the sender was still shrouded in mystery.

'Dark-Bladed Shadows' Avion was quite aware of this organization, 'They are mortal martial artists that are secretly going against the hegemony of the Elementalists over the world.'

'They are only mortals but they were able to infiltrate such big families. I think it's because of their advantage of being sneaky.'

Avion had long realized that Elementalists are quite blind towards mortals as the latter do not have any elemental energy, thus, they have no aura. Meaning, unless, the Elementalists are aware of them and have set up some traps, they wouldn't be able to do anything. 

Furthermore, due to the mentality of Elementalists that made them naturally looked down on mortals and underestimate them makes it easier for mortals to move unobstructed or getting suspicious.

'But the fact that they are still unknown in the Elementalists world is quite impressive.' he mused.

The letter that was sent to Avion was simple. It was about who they are and that the organization is wanting to invite him.

[Are you tired of getting bossed around? Getting ordered as if you're a slave? And you don't want to be on the weak side anymore?

There's an easy solution: kill them! 

Just because you have no elemental energy and don't have strength doesn't mean you have to live your life as a slave!

Here at the Dark-Bladed Shadows, we kill in secret. Avion Teller, you have learned some of our skills.

Where did you learn it?

A) A mysterious person in a black suit taught me after I had enough of Elementalist's oppression.

B) One mourning day, out in the woods, I found one of your books give to me by fate and trained in secret and in the hope to avenge my family as they were killed by Elementalist

C) I'm already a member and you mistook me for someone who hadn't join yet.

D) Others:____________________

Do you want to join and be a part of a positive and helpful community?

A) Yes, for my family and the sake of all the oppressed mortals in the world!

B) Yes, to avenge my lover!

C) Yes, to show those arrogant Elementalists who's the boss!

D) Yes, to become rich and famous

E) No, I'm a retard and I don't know how to read and write. My mother doesn't love me and I still need help cleaning my ass after I poop at an old age.

After answering the questions above, put the letter back to where you got it. And please, do not report this to any Elementalist and become traitor to the mortalkind. But if you do, you would want to answer another question in essay form: How do you want to die?

P.S. this shall not be graded so don't feel pressure.

Love, Dark-Bladed Shadows]

Avion did what he must do, rip the paper apart and placed it back to where he picked it.

'But they are dangerous, I didn't even notice that someone put that paper while I was sleeping.' he thought. At the same time, he was visited by one guard who will bring him to the stage of where the final battle royale will happen.

"Mortal Saint, please this way." the Rank Dih guard bowed to him.

Avion only got that title yesterday but was already used to it. However, while he was following the guards, he noticed something strange.

"Hey, is this really where the exit is?" he asked.

"Don't worry, Mortal Saint." the guard leading him smiled and turned to Avion. At the same time, other guards came out of the corner with white clothes on their hands.

"You!" Avion looked and saw that these were the guards who asked him for help. 

"Don't worry, Mortal Saint, it just seemed that it is appropriate for you to be wearing that black suit." after one big man said that, he threw one white clothing, covering Avion.

...

On the stage, the participants were already called. Meanwhile, the riot outside had vanished after they saw four Rank Es Elementalists entering the stadium.

"Your refunds!" 

"Ah? Ah... n-no, we don't need that anymore." the people escaped, "I think the outer screen is better than personally seeing it."

The only one left was the glittering noble and the Rank Cee butler.

With tears in his eyes, the noble pleaded, "I am a great noble! I don't think that I am not qualified to sit beside the elders! Also, I have to see my son as he wins the battle!"

The only receptionist behind the counter then asked with an awkward smile, "Sir, who is this son you speak of?"

"He is Rank 20th!"

The receptionist realized and smiled, "Oh, don't worry, sir. There would be no problem if you don't dee the match since the Rank 20th was already defeated."

"Huh? W-what did you say?" the noble stuttered.

"This is because of a certain wild card who challenged him and successfully replaced his position in the upcoming battle. That is why the Rank 20th are now unable to compete."

"O-oh... is that so?" the noble lost all will and watched the match together with the others on the outer screen.

Inside the stadium, handsome young boys filled the seats. All of them had paled faces as their ranks are varied. However, the strongest are only Rank Cee, therefore, being with Rank Es puts pressure on them.

Although the Elders were already aware of their pressure after last time, their status is still suffocating.

"Dana, don't you want a harem of handsome boys? Why don't you request some from the Elders of Crome and Freyor Families right now?" the Crown Princess from the Wrenwor Family, Princess Emilia coquettishly said.

The Crown Princess of the Sharya Family, Princess Dana sighed and shook her head, "I don't like those boys. I want my harem to have the most beautiful faces in the world. Covered in white and is worshipped so that I am above them."

"You really like beauties, huh, Dana. Well, lucky you, you're gifted as the most beautiful woman in the whole Reruon!" Princess Emilia pouted which but her cheeks were then held but Princess Dana who was dazzling to the eyes.

"Don't worry, Emilia, you will always be my number one."

"Dana..."

The two princesses glittered the whole stadium.

'This is why we aren't pursuing these princesses!' the two Crown Princes thought.
