Kai stared blankly at the spirit, thinking that they had gone even more mad than they already were, but at the next moment, a large wheel appeared out of thin air.

It consisted of various triangles, each on a different colour and having a different category on it. Some categories were tame ones, like geography and general knowledge, but then there was also some like... math.

"Now that you are all able to see the wheel, how about we spin it and see what topic these next ten questions will focus on. You should hope that you get a topic you don't want to have to face later on now, because this wheel will be coming back for questions eighty to ninety, so you better hope you get lucky!"

Kai sighed to himself. Even though he didn't want to do any in the first place, he would much rather get maths done while it was relatively easy questions being asked than later on when the questions would get much harder.

But Frosty wasn't done speaking.

"As you all know, I scanned your memories for these topics, so all of these could work out.

And just in case one of you is blind and I didn't end up noticing, here are our ten topics.

We have maths, spelling, general knowledge, geography, history, science, love, riddles, animals and movies. Aren't all of these topics just so exciting?"

Kai sighed again, resting his elbow on his stand and using it to hold up his head.

"Yep, Frosty, all of those topics sound just incredible to get asked."

Glaring down at Kai, Frosty pouted slightly before turning away with a huff.

"Well, you're no fun. Because of that, I won't let you spin the wheel, not that I was going to let you spin it in the first place. Child, you get over here and spin it."

After only a single second, as if they had a conversation in that small amount of time, Petunia shrugged and approached the wheel.

Compared to her, the wheel was about double her size in height and maybe quadruple her size in length. Honestly, the sight was rather comedic.

"Go on, child, spin the wheel and hope you land on a good topic."

Gripping onto the edge of the large wheen, Petunia pulled down on it her with surprisingly large amount of might. The wheel began spinning rapidly, showing no sign of slowing down.

Of course, that was just an illusion, the wheel was much to large to spin for too long, so after a couple of seconds it began to slow down.

The arrow at the very top of it that would decide the category slowly went through various different triangles.

Geography, animals, science, all of those were off the table as the wheel crawled along at a snails pace.

Until, eventually, the wheel landed on...

"Maths, ooh, you contestants are so lucky. I swear, this child must have a guardian angel or something, to get maths out now and not have to face it later on."

Kai sighed in relief, his entire body sagging a little as the wheel landed on maths.

Thank god they would be getting it over and done with now. Even when he had to do the mental maths of where to put his stats before fighting Ezekial he had wanted to cry, imagine what he would have done if he had to do ten incredibly hard maths questions in a row.

It was times like these that he was eternally grateful that he ended up with a skill like Presets, its value of taking away the need to do maths was just too immense to be overlooked.
