Constellations' Musing [TCF fanfiction]

Level 6: Game Show (pt. 1)

The first thing that Cale realized after his soul finally aligned with this new body, was the fact that he's standing on a podium of sort.

He's not all alone anymore.

There are some other people in the room.

+

Alberu let out a short chortle.

"Looks like it's our turn now, instructor-nim"

Choi Han nodded.

"It seems so, your highness"

Along with Mary, those two could see their other selves present with Cale in this scenario.

+

'ho...'

Cale nearly arched a brow as he watched three of his friends dressed up differently before taking note that, he too, is wearing a modern Black T-Shirt and dark jeans that contrast with his bright red-hair.

'...what am I performing this time?'

As it is a podium, he had dared to pray that he'll simply gives a speech or something.

But the cheerful atmosphere isn't fitting of a serious topic.

It was that moment...

"So, Today, we're gonna be playing 'ARE YOU A SOCIOPATH'?"

+

Rei found himself choking on his drink as he DID NOT expect such topic to suddenly brought up.

Especially not with the three heroes of the continents and the Crown Prince of The Roan Kingdom standing there as the participants.

+

The casually dressed Choi Han announced in a host tone. All the while, Cale blanked out slightly as he looked around.

'What the actual fuck'

[Are you a sociopath]

That was the title of the game.

Alberu as one of the contestant.

Honestly, Cale doesn't really think much of it as he knows how wicked the crown prince could be when the time called for it.

+

"Ho... it seems like the young master was actually aware of it?" Marquis Ailan thought that he might have underestimated Cale way too much and needs to fix his mindset if he doesn't want to get pummeled further than he already did before.

'It is not that sly crown prince who controls 'the innocent hero'... No. They both were just as dangerous'

His gut instinct that one time at the grand noble meeting was right.

Cale was a person of his own.

Even without the crown as his backing, Cale is something he needs to be wary of.

+

Cale was not surprised that Choi Han becomes the host either and perhaps the one who came up with the questions since the swordsmaster has similar experiences as well.

However, Mary.

Sweet innocent Mary.

'Why is she here as contestant too??'

+

'Hmm? Why does the young master looked worried?'

That dark robe moved a little when Mary tilted her head as she ponders about the meaning or reason behind Cale's concerned expression.
