Chapter 255 Work hard

Serena sighed as she watched the platform from afar. Her eyes were fixed on the silver-haired boy who vanished with the others when the blinding light enveloped the platform.

With this, her job was over.

"He gave me a headache but he is strong. Stronger than his peers."

She pressed her lips together with a sharp look. If one looked closely they would notice the huge dark circles under her sharp eyes.

After Kyle left the Royal Castle with the Royal envoy, she left him alone. He was old enough to take care of himself. Also, it's not like the Royal envoy was taking the kids to fight a war. Kyle just had to stay in the hotel. However, leaving Kyle alone was a big mistake! Not even two days of peace and she received news that he and his friends went to visit a hidden underground auction! And to make matters worse the auction wasn't normal at all. It was the hub of illegal activities!

The moment she received the news, she went to check on Kyle but he was fit and fine. Moreover, the people who organized the auction were caught and dragged into the Royal prison.

She thought she was already numb to Kyle's surprises but yet again this incident made her bewildered. He was a walking magnet that could attract dangerous things whenever he went out.

Alas... That's how her nightmare started. Kyle was already famous among the elven nobles due to his unparalleled talent and after this incident, those insolent people tried everything to dig out everything related to him. And the one who was subjected to their inquiry gaze was none other than Serena. Amidst all this, she managed to keep the matter regarding Kyle's true identity under the table.

But her mood became sour when she went to see Kyle in the hotel.

"I was suffering and this brat... he was enjoying his life how frustrating."

Serena scoffed. After seeing Kyle lazing around with a blissful expression she had the urge to kick him once! But in the end, she curbed her urge and decided to ignore him completely. He was simply too unsightly. Even now when she thought about the struggle she had to go through for this ungrateful brat. She wanted to go and punch Han once or twice just to vent her frustration.

"Hah.... and you said Kyle is just an ordinary kid who wants to attend the event."

She massaged her temples and informed Han about Kyle's safe departure. Afterward, she instantly packed everything and left for a vacation. The past two months were just too much for her and now she just wanted to go to a faraway place where no one would question her about Kyle!

....

At the same time, Kyle didn't even remember that someone called Serena was assigned to take care of him.

He opened his eyes and swept his gaze around. After the sudden darkness, he found himself standing within a large circular clearing. A lush forest with tall, majestic trees surrounded the clearing all around.

The sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting a warm and gentle glow on the scene. Kyle frowned when like a buzz, hundreds of whispers entered his ears.

The remaining 199 individuals standing around him curious lifted their eyes to inspect the area. He noticed something amidst the heated crowd and raised his brow.

The newcomers who arrived with Aira were calm and collected. They excluded arrogance and looked at the excited individuals with disdain.

Kyle's eyes trailed to Niamh, Faith, and Yue. It was subtle but the trio gave off a very similar aura to those individuals. n)-0VelB1n

'So...they are all nobles?'

He hummed inwardly. And he was right. After the event 116 participants were selected, meaning the Kingdom still needed more people to fill the remaining places from the original 200 spots. That's why when the 116 winning participants were resting in the hotel the Royals arranged a battle arena, especially for the nobles. So, they can fight for the remaining spots.

A loud voice echoed and Kyle lifted his eyes to look at the floating figures.

His gaze first landed at Anlee. Then he noticed the two elven men and two elven females floating behind the old man. Their bodies were clad in grey uniforms with warm and harmless smiles plastered on their faces but Kyle noticed the suppressed pressure around their bodies.

'They are strong.'

He averted his gaze when one of the floating elven men stared back at him.

Anlee cleared his throat with a grim expression.

"I believe you all know why you are bought here. The only reason is training! However, there is one thing that we hid from all of you. Maybe... some of you already heard about it through your families but the ones who are unaware listen carefully. From today onwards your life will change because all of you are selected to enter a dangerous Relam that is going to open soon."

A deadly silence enveloped the place and many shocked eyes stared at Anlee with astonishment. A dangerous realm? They didn't even have the slightest bit of knowledge about this!

However, the shocked individuals noticed with surprise. Almost half of the people standing around them were unfazed when they heard about the Realm. Just like what Anlee said they seemed aware of this matter.

Kyle narrowed his eyes. He thought the Kingdom wouldn't tell them about the Secret Realm until the end but it seemed he was wrong.

He glanced around and sighed. Niamh was taking in the news with a rather calm expression but the others' expressions told him that except for Niamh no one else was aware of the secret Realm.

Anlee expression hardened for a second to show how serious this matter was and before the youths could voice out their questions, he continued.

"I know it's surprising but with danger comes incredible opportunities to become stronger. No one knows what threats lay behind the Realm gate because the records about it had long vanished over time. Maybe... the only thing that would be waiting for you all in there is death. However..."

His expression turned sharp.

"No one here is weak. All of you are genius talents of the elven Kingdom, selected after strict testing! Also, we will do our best to train you to cope with the life-threatening dangers. The only thing you need to do is work hard! So you can survive in that foreign place! And once you return alive you won't be the same ordinary person anymore. You will become one of strongest or maybe the strongest among all!"

"Or is there anyone who thinks he is weak, pathetic, and won't be able to return alive and wants to run away with their tails tucked between their legs?"
