This is the last leveling. There are thirty-five participants ang nasa gitna ng arena. Each group has seven members, and they are all given one seed each.

All they have to do is to protect it from the other groups. Once na nanakaw ang seed sa kanila, they will be eliminated. Hanggang sa isang team na lang ang matitirang may hawak ng seed.

"Lady, the King wanted to see you." The knight said.

"Huh? Why is that?" Jace asked.

"Y-you're here demon lord?" Muntik pa akong matawa nang hindi nito nakita si Jace.

"Don't scared him, my lord." Sabi ko dito. 'My lord' ang tawag ko kay Jace tuwing nasa public place kami, 'Jace' naman kapag kaming dalawa lang. 'Love' naman tuwing ginaganahan akong lumandi ahee.

"Shall I go with you?"

"If you'll insist."

"Then, I insisted." He grabbed my hand and began walking, sinusundan namin ang knight na nauna na sa aming maglakad.

Sa isang private room kami dinala, I bowed my head upon seeing the King. "Your majesty, may I know the reason you called me?"

"There are three suspicious person ang nadakip kanina when the tournament begun. Noong una ay ipinagsawalang-bahala ko iyon, ngunit bigla na lang nanghina ang reyna. She's claiming that we must stop the tournament as soon as possible. I am worried that it might relatively affect our relationship to other kingdom kapag inihinto ko ang paligsahan. What do you think?" Mahabang paliwanag nito.

"Let's see, only you and ang mga malalapit lang na tao ang may alam sa special ability ng mahal na reyna, right?"

"Ye-yes, but how'd you know that?"

"I can appraise anyone's ability, as long as I'm powerful than them."

"That's kinda like a cheat," Jace interrupted.

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"The Queen is currently resting, so hindi rin siya makausap."

"It is really not easy to be a seeir," I said feeling bad.

Pinabalik na kami ng hari matapos kong magbigay ng kaunting advice sa kung ano ang dapat niyang gawin. It's up to him kung ihihinto niya o hindi ang tournament.

"Iyon ba ang dahilan kung bakit kayo nag-usap ng duke?" Tumango naman si Jace, bilang sagot. "Why didn't you tell me? May pa secret ka pang sinasabi."

"I don't want you to be bothered when I can kill them all instantly," he bluntly said.

Pagbalik namin sa upuan ay nakapag-umpisa na pala sa huling paligsahan. Everyone's on their move, kapwa nila tinatrack kung sino ang mga una nilang bibiktimahing grupo.

The Valinerian students teleported to where the Decolo students are, which caught them off guard. The Decolo student's know that someone would use teleportation.

"They're pretty clever," Jace commented.

Everyone from Valinerian has been trapped by a snakes, ability of the twin from Decolo. They can't teleport again, because their shadow was tied to someone's shadow. While Valinerian's can't make their move, kinukuha naman ng ibang myembro ng Decolo ang seeds na tinatago nila.

Nang matagumpay na nakuha ang seed ay bigla na lamang nawala ang Valinerian sa arena, at napunta sa participant's bench.

"They've lost, too bad for them."

"Love."

"Hmm?"

Inilapit niya ang mukha niya sa leeg ko at hinalik-halikan, "someone's been eyeing on us." Actually kanina ko pa napapansin iyon, once they'll make a move ay nakahanda ako.

"I know."

Hinawi nito ang buhok ko sa likod, to access my neck freely. Pinigilan ko naman ang mukha nitong papalapit sa'kin. "Don't do that here, Jace."

"But I want you now." Nakasimangot niyang sabi.

"Too bad for you too." We both laugh from each other, when he realized we're in public.
