Chapter 711 Start of the finale

?[Eon's POV: ]

"Hmmm..."

Miss Mia and Ball have been talking for a while now. And from the looks of it, it looks like what I read from their lip movements was actually the truth.

"What are you thinking about, Eon?"

"Hmm? Oh, Rein..."

It was currently breaktime, so we people on the balcony were having some tea and snacks.

Some people had gone out for some fresh air, but since we had no reason to go anywhere anymore, we were just chilling here. And, since I was looking at the ground for a while now, Rein asked me with a little concerned expression.

"It's nothing much for me, though... if I do tell you, it would be a big deal to you."

"A big deal to me...? Why's that?"

We were having tea by ourselves right now. With a barrier separating us from the rest of the useless public here.

And I made the tea myself, so she had been drinking it with a joyful face until I made her worry with my words.

'She didn't understand what I was saying... but I know for a fact she will be a little upset if I do tell her.'

Still, hearing this might make her a little cheerful.

"Tell me why?"

"It's nothing but a little coincidence."

"What coincidence?"

"Well, it ain't nothing but a mistake."

"Shut the nonsense and get to the point. I have no need to take the teasing right now."

"I will do that then."

I wanted to make her a little more cheerful before telling her about this matter, so I was saying it that way.

But this was enough music. Now, to be serious, I looked at her carefully and put my hand on hers on the table.

"You saw how Ball was surrounded by those elders, right?"

"Yes. He looked like he was suffering among them, lol. But then he suddenly vanished.

Did he use some kind of illusion skill or something? How did he slip out of those people?"

She did not know it and since we both did not see what he did, it was obvious that just like me, she would be clueless what kind of miraculous feat that dumb Ball of ours had managed to achieve accidentally.

"You see, he absorbed all the matter around him while trying to erase his presence. And because of that-"

"He was only left with energy for a brief moment and was able to slip into the shadow realm? Is that what you want to say...?"

"You just stole the words from my mouth. As expected of my pretty Lady."

"Yes. He definitely went there for a moment, something happened that was able to guide him and that place then rejected him, which cancelled the skill effect completely, and he returned unharmed."

"Wow..."

Now, the look of sadness was gone, and only wonder, joy, and faith had remained on her gorgeous face.

"How would he have felt there, I wonder?"

She was smiling while looking at my team that was now preparing for the last round like everyone else.

"How about we ask them about it after this is over? Or better, let's take them back with us."

"Hmmm? Take them back? Where-... oh! To the capital?! At your house?!"

"Correct."

"Wow! Yes! Wait! But, can we even do that?"

"I mean, it's break time for them anyway.

After the competition, they will still be free until school starts, so we can take a few of them with us personally. How's that?"

"Yes! Absolutely freaking yes! I will have Quin and Med! Ohhh! And Princess Bell as well! Let's put her and Alf in a room, hehe! It will be fun~."

"The room... doesn't sound like a good idea, so let's think about that more. However, as for inviting them, as long as they want to, of course."

The final round is starting now, and it will end soon. And then there will be a little event but that will end soon as well. And, after the award ceremony, and the announcements of happenings of yesterday, it will all be over.

And, we will be able to finally... finally go home.

'And, I know everyone will like it if we bring back a few of our friends. Especially Anna.'

She will love to have new faces around...

'Oh, that's right... Anna..."

I haven't seen her for quite a while now.

How would she react hen I go back?

Will she be happy? Will she hug me first or will she be upset that I was only coming back after so long?

Will she let go of me when it is time for us to leave? Or will I have to talk with her for a few hours like last time?

'How will everyone react?'

And how will they punish me for doing so many reckless things during the yesterday's war.

'They must have alredy known about it all by now, right?'

I know mom must have known about it already.

And soon, grandma, grandpa, and uncle Theo will know of it all as well.

'Perhaps it will be chaotic for a while when we go back.'

But...

'I am looking forward to this warm chaos.'
