( Third Pov )
" Did you see that? He fought the three of them and passed the first round!" Bam exclaimed as Khun nodded.
" Yes. I saw that."
' To get back up after a heavy strike like that and win... he must've used a lot of energy, and I'm sure everyone noticed that as well.' Khun thought as he observed Zero in the distance.
" Hmph!" Rak snorted as Khun looked at him.
" You fought Zero before, right? How was it?" Knuh asked, catching Bams attention.
" A good hunter." Rak replied as he stared at Zero, ready to fight him for the second time.
< Since Mr. Zero had sat on the chair before the five minutes elapsed. This rounds winner is Team Zero.>
( Zero Pov )
It was luck when I finally thought it over.
It was luck that I managed to realize the stairway behind me.
I took a food packet from my jacket and started eating it.
' Chips...' The food was still random but instilled in it nonetheless.
I felt my body rejuvenate as I ate the food.
' I think these food packets are for recovering.' I thought.
The ranker began to explain that I couldn't move from the throne till the fifth round.
' Wrll, that's troublesome.' I thought.
Before the second round began, I looked through my status.

' I need a defensive skill.' I sighed as I heard the countdown.
" 4!...5!....begin!!"
I heard the gates opening and j grabbed my sword.
Three people were walking with a flaming fish, and the other two had melee weapons, and the other team was two girls.
The one arguing with tracksuit at the shinsu wall test and the other a blonde woman with red horns.
If there's someone I'm really working about. It's the sleeping man in the distance.
" Sigh, to be honest with you all. The only person I'm really worried about is sleeping beauty in the cage."
" But if you want to fight, it's best you come to me since I can't leave my throne." I spoke.
I waiting to see which one would be riled up, but it seemed to be useless as they all calmly stood in front of me.
I sighed.
" Sigh, forget it."
I waved my hand down to use telekinesis to bring them to the floor.
They all dropped to the ground.
" Still sleeping..." I muttered as I clenched my fist, crushing the people below me.
" Looks like all of you will die here. " I coldly stated.
The man opened his eyes and opened his blanket, and lifted his hand. i stared at him.
A sense of danger filled my body as I activated [ Sharingan ].
Something was moving in the air before turning into a light as he pointed at me, and with [ Quick Reflexes ], I used Telekinesis to make a barrier.
' That's..shinsu!!' I widen my eyes to capture this moment.
The shinsu was reflected as I felt a small connection to it.
[ Instant recall ] reminded me of my title [ Irregular ]
' To use Shinsu. Then...'
After the attack was finished, I looked at the man.
I remembered how he controlled the shinsu.
' It was like this?' I held my palm up as a small floating light appeared.
' So... this is shinsu.'
It had a cool feeling instead of the warm feeling Mana had.
It felt like I was touching water.
[ Shinsu Manipulation]
[ Level 1/10 ]
Another wave attack came as I lifted the telekinetic barrier.
[ Telekinetic Barrier]
[ Level 1 -> 2 ]
I felt my brain hurting, but I pushed through the pain.
In the corner of my eye, I saw the other getting back to their feet.
" Tsk." I jumped on top of the throne to dodge the rest of the shinsu blast.
The others started attacking from below.
[ Brutal cleave ]
One slash killed one and injured the second.
" Flame of death!!" The large man shouted as I cut off his arm.
" Ah?"
[ Thrust ]
The sword stabbed through his face as I looked at the rest.
One crawled away as his body was almost cut into two.
I stared at the sleeping beauty in the distance as he charged another attack.
" Give us the crown. I can attack you from anywhere." The man spoke
" Come on!" I shouted as he unleashed his attack.
With one hand, I blocked the attack and blocked the woman's knife.
I ducked my head to dodge a kick from behind.
The two girls were behind the barrier as I was ready to deactivate the barrier.
Amd it seemed sleeping beauty read my intention as he stopped the attack.
With my other hand freee I grabbed the horned woman's neck and slashed at the woman who blocked with her knife, which cause her to fall off the throne.
I held the horned woman in front of me.
" Try attacking." I spoke as I stared at the man's eyes.
He looked hesitant as the othe rwoman got back to her feet.
" Hey! You coward! Using a woman as a shield! Why don't you fight like a man!!" The woman tried to rile me up, but it didn't faze me
I looked at the woman who was running short on breath.
But something felt off about this woman. And I wanted to see what would happen if I pushed her a little more.
" Wait! Wait! We quit!" The woman shouted as I looked at her before looking at the man.
He too surrendered.
I threw the woman to the floor, and I sat back down on the throne after kicking the corpse off.
The three of them returned to their rooms.
I was about to relax when I heard a commotion. I looked behind to see the green girl inside Bams room.
" What's happening here?" I muttered.
It seemed there was something special about Bam's stick.
' 13 something and Jahad?' I looked to see the Ranker Lero Ro behind the green girl to stop her.
But something was wrong as they continued to chat.
I put my chin on my palm as I tried to decipher their language.
' Bet....team...green April and black march?'
And it didn't take long for Khun to start shouting about accepting.
The Ranker walked his way towards me with a smile.
" Mr. Zero, there's a new rule added..." he banned speaking about the bet between the green girl and Bam.
" And if I win?" I asked.
" Well... what do you think?" He smiled.
" If I win, both bets are nullified." I replied.
Lero nodded as he walked away.
' Although getting a famous weapon was cool but I still enjoyed the greatsword. '
Bam's team and the green girls team stayed.
' Really wishing I had a gun right now.' I thought as I observed each one teams.
It seemed luck was on my side as i saw a man with a rifle behind his back.
I smiled as the teams surrounded me.
I tilted my head to dodge a marble.
I used telekinesis to take the man's rifle before he could react.
I asked it at the marble man.
" Ah?" Bang!
His dead body fell to the floor.
Everyone froze as I they realized how fast that man died.
" I'm definitely keeping this." I muttered.
" My rifle." The man cried.
" Run away. It's your best chance at surviving." Some walked back to their rooms except a few.
" Do you really want to fight?" I didn't receive an answer as they rushed at me.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three bodies fell in quick succession.
I looked at the remaining team as they slowly back off amd back into their rooms.
' It would be a smart idea to retreat with their lives, and after this, it's Bams team and the green girl's team.
I sat back down on the throne as I observed the rifle.
' Not much ammo. It's best I use it wisely.'
