It was to the point that the judges did not even bother to give any offerings, such things would simply be wasted effort.

They simply gave him the stage to speak his mind.

"As you all may have assumed, yes, I will be joining the military and following in the footsteps of my grandfather as I promised him. That is my duty. That was all I was going to say at first, but with this new development of Moby Kane creating his own guild, I feel like I must comment. Fear not, I will most certainly not be joining, but I do wish you the best of luck. I look forward to future developments, but rest assured I won\'t allow you to surpass me in any way from here on. That is what I had promised myself." He turned around and smiled.

"Like-wise, I wish you the best of luck as well, but I guarantee you won\'t best me!"

And with that, the tournament officially came to a close, the school year had finally ended and all were left to live out the beginning of their adult lives.

Yet, there were still events to come. The amusement park was just as bustling as ever with cheers and celebrations that echoed to all ends of the space. The stress of combat was now over, so it was finally time for some much-needed relaxation.

The sky within the virtual reality turned a dark blue reflecting the sky of the outside world, and the lights shining upon the darkened land were like bonfires of glee.

Still, from this festival, there were several people nowhere to be seen. And one such person was the winner himself Moby Kane who left himself within the comfort of his own room, a room of never-ending white, aura-like light.

Sitting on his couch with a smile, he tapped his feet with delight and anticipation. There were many reasons for his absence; after such an announcement and the fact that he received first place, there was certain to be hoards of attention and paparazzi headed his way, yet that was not the main reason.

No, he had a meeting to attend to, and he was simply waiting for that person to appear before him.

And there she was, in a flash of purple that burst through the white, the light purple-haired female appeared wearing the school uniform he had gotten all too accustomed to now.

He could not help but grin as she materialized out of thin air, yet his expression turned into perplexity upon gazing upon her face.

With slow, deliberate steps that echoed within the space, she walked up towards him and lazily sat next to him on the couch with a tired sigh.

"So, how was it? Did you get the supreme general to speak?" Moby asked.

"Yeah, I did…" She took a deep breath and crossed her legs.

"I could tell, he was acting exceptionally nice to me… And now that I think about it, he did seem very different. How did you get him to speak? I bet he just instantly shat his pants and fessed up immediately!" Moby burst out laughing.

"Ehhh… I was surprised, he was actually a much harder nut to crack than I expected."

"Even for you?" Moby looked genuinely surprised. "I guess I must have underestimated him… Still, all\'s well that ends well. How was it that you got him to speak then?"

"Physical torture initially didn\'t seem to work, so I opted to place him in a nightmare."

"Classic!" Moby could not help but chuckle, only for him to calm himself down a few seconds later with a deep breath. "Now… What exactly did he reveal…"

"I\'ll get the things you\'ve been wondering about most out of the way first. The military has a way to detect demons, and that\'s how they managed to identify your parents."

"Identify my parents?" His face widened.

"Yes," She nodded. "Your parents\' death was no mere accident. It was all organized by the supreme general himself. The military seems to have deep connections with the angels, in fact, angels have visited here before… For their final years, the military and supreme general tortured your parents for information, yet they did not speak at all. Now, I\'m fairly certain they are captured by the angels, but the possibility of their death is very high. As a child, you were also tested to see if you were also a demon, yet you passed being human and were chosen to live…"

"..."

"I see… That explains a lot… Well, I guess I\'ll have to plan more for the future, things might get more dangerous from here on out."

"Hmmm?" Avilia opened her eyes and raised a brow. "Aren\'t you mad or something? Are you not yearning for revenge on the man who tortured your parents?"

"If it were the past me, I most certainly would have. But I\'ve long mentally prepared and come to terms with the fact that my parents could be dead. I have already shed enough tears, they wouldn\'t want any more. Besides, you had already tortured him enough for me, that\'s enough mental closure…"

"..."

"I— I see…" Avilia looked down and to the side.

"Anyways, I\'d like to know the details of the relation the angels have with humans and how your necklace managed to get to me unscathed. And then, there lies the fact that despite all this time, me and my fellow demons managed to escape detection for so long."

"I have my theories on some of that, but it may take longer to explain."

"I see, then we can save that for another time," Moby nodded.

"For now, I want to know exactly what came of the supreme general…" He smirked. "Is he now our pawn? Have you scared him into submission?"

"..."

"Ummm… Not exactly…"

"Then what?"

"I scared him to death…"
