Chapter 212: The Kidnapping [2]



***

Amon started ahead in the distance, gazing at Liliana's fading back.

His ability was completely successful.

Since he had broken her in the FULLDIVE, he knew her mental state was in complete shambles when he didn't see her in the group that day.

Because of that, he chose to use his ability right now, which was the perfect time to

manipulate her.

Not only was she broken, but from the widening of her eyes he knew the memories of the fight were replaying in her mind.

It was perfect.

But he was even more surprised that she intended to apologize to him from the start.

Only when he used [Void Influence] on her did he find that out.

It was surprising for him.

Even though he had broken her pride, he didn't expect her to apologize to him.

She was the type of person who let the world fall to hell but never apologized.

'She really fell that deep down huh.' Amon thought.

As much as he hated her, he might have just been too harsh on her in the FULLDIVE. But he didn't regret it.

It was better that way.

It would enable her to contribute to the main cast much early on.

A win-win for both of them.

'The plotline has changed a lot but it's progressing in a good direction.'

So far, from what he was seeing, the changes had all been in the great category.

Only minor things had tilted towards the bad side.

But now...

Amon gazed at the window in front of him.

'It's gonna begin soon.'

Pushing his thoughts to the back of his mind, Amon quickly started walking forward to the FULLDIVE building.

***

Amon entered the FULLDIVE building, finding it already full of cadets.

Unlike last time, where it was just Team Battles, this time it was Battle Royale so the whole place was bustling with activity.

Chatters could be heard in the air as everyone was trying to form a plan or team of some sort.

Tactics like these were allowed in the Battle Royale. After all, it was also a form of preparation for the battlefields in the future.

And on the battlefield, there would be these types of teams and betrayals everywhere.

Amon quickly saw his group standing in the distance.

He wasn't surprised when he saw Liliana standing there, chatting with them.

They had looks of disbelief on their faces as Liliana bowed and talked to them.

Even Amon, who had orchestrated the whole matter, was surprised to see it happen again.

It just felt too unrealistic. Like a dream.

Walking up to them, Amon waved.

"Yo."

Recognizing his voice, everyone's heads turned.

The first to greet him, like always, was Ren, who looked at him with a grin.

"Sup, you are here. Look what's happening." He said, gesturing to Liliana in the distance with his eyes.

Amon nodded.

"Yeah, I saw."

Ren raised his brows.

"You aren't surprised." Amon nodded.

"I still am. She apologized to me and did that whole thing while I was coming here already."

The whole group, no, the whole stadium knew that the biggest threat in the stadium was

Amon.

By now, everyone knew how many elements he had.

And in a one-on-one, they knew they were cooked. That Liliana fight had gone viral in the

group chats after all.

If there was anyone who could hope to go head-to-head with him, it was Michael. And Ren, if The copied a lot of strong elements.

They were the only two people. And how ironic that both of them were bottom-ranked as

well.

It was because of this reason that everyone was forming plans to eliminate Amon first. Suddenly, the voice of Athena boomed in the building.

"Okay, you all have 5 minutes. Please choose a single pod and settle yourselves inside it."

At her voice, everyone quickly started scrambling to find a pod. The group also disintegrated after offering a stroke of good luck to everyone. Liliana, who was about to go silently at first, suddenly froze in the spot when Amon replied

from behind.

"Hey, good luck."

Silence remained in the group for a moment before she nodded her head, not looking back.

"Thanks." She said.

And at his words, everyone seemed to follow, giving her good luck as well.

She thanked them all and the group dispersed.

After finally finding a pod, Amon opened it up and settled himself inside.

The cold steam from inside made his already cold body shudder.

"Okay, please correctly adjust the helmet to your heads, everyone. You have a single minute

before the simulation begins. If you have any technical difficulties, come out and stand in front of your pod." Athena said again.

'She's probably in the booths from where everyone is watching.'

Yes. The whole campus was watching this event today.

His sister, Alice, Arthur, Athena, Amelia, etc.

They were all assembled in a stadium probably.

'I wished to make you proud here sis.' Amon thought back to Katherine.

This was probably the first time she was watching him in an event. 'Sigh, too bad this isn't the correct time or place. Next time, hopefully.'

As soon as the thought passed, Athena's voice emerged in the building again.

"Okay, seems like no one seems to have any issues. The simulation will begin now."

And immediately, the helmet locked itself to Amon's head.

And his senses started to distort like always, starting from his vision.

The weird sensation lasted for a minute or two, a little longer because of the large amount of

students.

But finally, it went away and Amon's senses started returning.

The first thing he saw was the greeting window like always.

[Welcome to FULLDIVE!]

And in the next moment, he felt a fresh breeze pass through, warming his previously cold

body.

It felt soothing and refreshing.

Amon opened his eyes slowly.

Right in front of him, was a beautiful lush green, spring forest.

Athena's voice boomed in the skies again.

[The Battle Royale begins now!]

It had finally started.

Hello everyone. Author here.

My personal issues should be sorted out in 2 to 3 days max. After that, we should be back to 3

chapters per day schedule.

Thank you for your understanding and bearing with me.
