'But it is cute too.'

Verona might be scolding him with words but her body refused to move away allowing Klautz to do as he pleases.

His hands slipped into her cleavage as he began to unbutton her shirt. Verona's eyes widened having seen what he dared to do.

"Are you even listening to me?

" Verona rebuked Klautz with glaring eyes.

It seemed like he had his attention focused somewhere else.

"Yeah, yeah I am. I will grind hard from now on.

"

Klautz could do the grinding anytime he wanted but how could he let go of the feast that was in front of him at the moment? For, better or worse, Verona had long fallen into his trap.

'Damn'

Her eyes squinted but there was nothing she could do as she was left to his mercy.

"Because of you I am missing out on the event..

" Verona whimpered with her eyes shut tight.

"Pfft

"

Klautz burst into laughter. Klautz had never held Verona down, she was here of her own accord. Not to mention that the event was useless anyway.

"What's so funny?

"

"Don't worry I will show you something much more amazing.

"

Verona rolled her eyes. She had really looked forward to it. Turned out that there was a lot of hustle and gossip around it. Ronald had told all of the newbies about it on the very first day. But Verona had missed up on it because a 'certain someone' was distracting her with Selena.

"You and your dirty jokes,

" Verona shut her eyes tight as a certain unpleasant memory surfaced on her mind..

It wasn't unfound that soon lots of gossip began to be circulated among the newbies even before they had met any of these youngsters who called themselves the second generation.

But most of the rumors were crushed on the very first day with Benton's little show. But even then the match between both sides continued to be a topic of gossip. As suddenly a new wave of rumors began circulating among the masses. 'Dangerous' and 'Tyrant' were the words being associated with them.

But even so the gossip around the event didn't quell at all. And Verona had looked forward to it all along.

But with Klautz wrapping around her like a snake, what other choice did she have but to miss it?

It was then…

*bam*

The door shot open. A prince in shining armor had come to her rescue to save her from her plight… the lecherous clutches of the demon lord.

But the sudden uninvited guest didn't make her feel any better. She felt extremely agonised instead. Her face turned pale as he eyes shifted to the mess she was in. Her shirt was pulled down, her breasts were spilling out and Klautz had already sank into her deep valley.

'Oh my God! This is bad.'

She forcefully pulled out Klautz's hands from her private space and tucked her buttons in a hurry.

Klautz could only frown as he turned towards the door.

"What are you…

"

Unfortunately the one they had thought to be a prince was a princess instead.

***

The stage was set. It was the same theatre where Ronald had once delivered his speech. THe only difference was the lack of the podium instead. Turned out this is where the 'showdown' of both sides was supposed to take place.

"With Benton gone it is my stage.

"

Colt's lips arched into a smile.

For Benton it might be a worthless stage since he had no motivation for it. But for most people it was not. Only the strongest of the both sides are allowed to play their roles here.

'Honestly, I don't know what that guy is thinking. He must be scheming something.' Colt thought. 'But if he thinks that he won't be able to trick me, I am prepared for anything. Not to mention that he did that thing as soon as he arrived. In fact, not making use of this opportunity just because of a hunch would be foolish.'

The showdown gives the newbies a clear idea on who was the strongest among the second gens and whose boots they ought to lick for their survival. As only the strongest from both sides participated, though there was no hard rule. It was a tradition that was being followed and had helped many newbies avoid a possible plight.

Every year, the one who performs in this stage ends up having the largest number of the followers as the best of the best opt to work under them.. The newbies who could have gone astray and joined the weaker factions due to their lack of knowledge are saved in this way from their plight.

Otherwise in a place like hell, they were bound to be doomed.

Benton leaving the stage was only in Colt's favor since now he would be the one reaping the profits.

"With his earlier show no one would be willing to follow him. No one would trust him. I always thought that he was stupid. But I never thought that he could be such a cretin.

"

Colt was on his way to the stadium but for good or worse his eyes fell on a girl adorned with a yukata on his way. It was a loosely tied one making her features a mystery making all men wonder.

Shizu was busy chatting with another girl of unknown origin who was possibly a newbie. Not bothering about the third party Colt smirked as he walked up to them.

"Greetings Shizu.

"

Shizu noticed the call with widened eyes. A slight distortion popped up on her face but she was quick to hide it.

"I wish the same to you.

"

She nodded.

It was then that Benton's eyes squinted to the side laying it on the unknown figure curious of her identity.

"Who's she?

"
