Hunt for the Golden Falg

Note: This is bonus chapter for reaching the power stones target.

"Hey Luna, you boasted so much about young master Arul's pet... Now, do you see what's happening?" Mo Zin taunted Luna while pointing her finger at the red python of Arul.

"Sister Mo, the red python of Arul, is hiding behind its master." Immediately another girl joined the fray to taunt Luna, who used to act all proud in the cheerleading group.

Luna failed to refute their mocking, as she lost her reasoning when she saw Kent standing beside dazzling Fire Kirin.

She used to ridicule Kent with all her girl gang, when she was in 3rd class. But never in her wildest dreams did she expected Kent to show up like this in front of everyone with a dazzling pet.

As Mo Zen and other girls began joking around Luna, a guy shouted from behind in support of Luna.

"Hey, that fellow is just a sixth-grade Magus. Stop mocking Luna just because he has a good pet. Who knows, that Kent guy must have begged a sugar mommy to use this pet for one day." Paul Romeo, the suiter of Luna, who changed his name from Paul Semen, shouted from the back.

Luna immediately exchanged a thankful smile with Paul as she finally found a backing to refute other girls.

"Yes, Kent is definitely a pauper. He purposefully came in at the last minute to show off. How could a sixth-grade Magus be equal to young master Arul?" Luna said in a loud tone while maintaining a proud stance.

The cheerleading girls maintained silence as they didn't want to go against Paul, who is from a rich family. He often spends lavishly to treat his classmates and seniors to maintain his image.

They all accepted Luna into the cheerleading group because Paul treated them to a lavish meal in the first place.

While Luna is lecturing the girls, the countdown in the sky touched zero, and with a loud boom, several flags are released into the sky, in random directions.

Kent held onto the Fire Kirin tightly as he felt the raging spirit inside his pet. The Fire Kirin became more serious than Kent to catch the golden flag.

The intensity of the blazing flames around Fire Kirin increased to a higher level, and even Mia Snow moved away from Kent to save her white peacock.

Just as the golden flag released...

"Ahhhrrr…"

The Fire Kirin, raising its front legs in the air, roared with violet flames. The black mane instantly glowed in pink with a fiery streak.

"Nooo…" Arul, who launched in the air on his red python, suddenly fell down as his pet lost its balance due to the loud cry of Fire Kirin.

"Bastard, I will kill you." Arul shouted, trying to softly land on the ground. Not only the red python of Arul, but several other pets fell back to the ground, frightened by the dazzling fire and heartbreaking roar.

"Sorry… Sorry…" Kent tried apologising to the girl who fell beside him from her bald eagle. But his tone mixed up in the air as the Fire Kirin dashed into the sky like a space rocket.

"Master Chen, is that Kirin an evolved beast?" Elder Cha, who stood on the raised platform, questioned with a dumbfounded look.

Master Chen replied after a brief thought. "No, the Fire Kirin is still young. I have seen the patriarch's evolved leapfrog once. This fire Kirin, doesn't have any evolved beast features."

Several discussions ran among the disciples as they all recorded the fire Kirin in the sky. But still, many of them were confused about Kent's identity.

But out of everyone, Thea is damn sure that he is Kent. But she stood like a statue, thinking about how a penniless 3rd-class magus like Kent is riding on a dazzling wild-ranking Fire Kirin.

At present, in the sky, the fat king's black bull is racing behind the gold flag. That black bull is directly shooting fire balls against other opponents who dared to come in its path.

According to combat matching rules, The pets can attack other pets. But the disciples shouldn't attack each other, and they also stop their pets from attacking the opponents.

That's why no one complained when the fat king's black bull shot fireballs. Soon, Kent's Fire Kirin joined the race as it approached close to the golden flag.

Except for the blazing fires, the fat king didn't even see the pet on which Kent is flying.

With a loud roar, the fat king commanded his bull to shoot a fireball against Kent.

Kent, who is just inches away from the golden flag, stopped in his tracks and turned his face towards the incoming fireball.

Before he even reacted, the Fire Kirin opened its mouth wide and swallowed the fireball entirely.

"What...?!" The fat king cried out in surprise with wide open eyes. His pet, the black bull, also stopped for a second to see what happened to its fireball.

The crowd erupted in clamor as the same scene is displayed on the Aurora screen of the stadium. Small floating jellies in the air were capturing the combat scene in full clarity.

"Sister Mo, did you see that...?!! It swallowed the fire ball." The girl stood beside Luna cried out with clenched fists.

Just as everyone is staring at the Aurora screen to see what's going to happen next...

The Fire Kirin roared angrily and shot a fireball from its mouth, which was three times the size of what it swallowed. More than that, the fireball is burning with violet flames and traveling at great speed.

"N-no… nooo…" The fat king shirked in fear while staring at the incoming fireball. Before he even thought of escaping, the black bull began falling from the sky as it lost the thought of flying.

But the fireball followed an arc trajectory without letting it escape. The fat king directly jumped away from the bull, ignoring the fact that he is flying high in the sky.

Thankfully, Master Chen came to his rescue. "Sh*t! He is damn heavy." Master Chen muttered while using more aura to fly down.
