Chapter 436 Chapter-436

"Mr. Kio, don't you know the rules of the Academic Exchange Event? Why are you trying to change them?" the Queen's Official Mage questioned.

Kio immediately turned around and bowed down.

"I greet, My Queen. Sir, as you asked, why am I trying to change the rules?

Well, I am not. According to Clause 56-B of the Academic Exchange Event Rules, a Royal mage who is giving out questions to the competitors can ask any number of questions to a competitor if he finds him or her much more intelligent than his or her observant level.

You may need to read it again," Kio replied with a serious face.

"W-What? Is there a rule like this?" The mage immediately went into confusion and looked at the other mage.

"There is, and that's why I told you not to ask this," the other mage replied with a cunning smile.

"As I can see that you aren't even aware of this event's rules, how are you even standing beside the elven Queen?

You should be ashamed of yourself," Kio added.

"T-This... I-" The mage was unable to speak at this moment as he just got brutally embarrassed in front of half the Elven Kingdom.

"Looks like I forgot to tell you about the insult that comes with the answer... hehe," the other mage murmured as he laughed a little.

"You may continue..." Fiona announced.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Kio spoke as he bowed once again before turning towards Anon.

"Sit down; your questions will start now," Kio spoke as he looked at Ella.

"Yes, Sir," Ella replied as she sat down.

"Now, the first question is for the girl... Tell me the name of this circle." Kio asked as he drew a full magic circle and asked only its name from Ella.

"H-Hey, That's an already completed circle. Isn't he supposed to give them half or incomplete magic circles?"

"Yeah, I am thinking the same."

"He is cheating... he doesn't want Jule to win."

"What a loser...."

"DIEEEEEEEE...."

The audience went into an uproar once again as they started criticizing Kio.

"Sir, that's a Waterball Form 1, Skill circle," Ella replied almost immediately; she didn't have to do any calculations because it was already clear.

"Good... you win 20 points. Now, it's your turn. Here is your question. Tell me about this circle..." Kio asked Anon as he drew an incomplete magic circle on the board, but it wasn't an ordinary magic circle.

It had 3 circles around it, meaning an advanced-level skill.

"T-That's a C-Ranked skill... How can a student like him answer that? They aren't even being taught in the academies. That's an impossible question to answer... My Queen, Mr. Jule will be disqualified at this rate," a Royal Minister spoke from behind.

"I have faith in him. If he is saying things like that and if he beats Kio today, history will get changed today, and a new scholar will be born," the Queen spoke as she focused her eyes on Anon.

Everyone from the Royal Court started looking at Anon with their utmost attention...

"What have you done, Mr. Jule?" Faith spoke in a very sad tone as she looked at Anon from a corner of the Colosseum.

'Link...'

[The answer is simple, master. It's a C-Rank Wind Barrier Defensive spell. Even a kid can answer this, and I thought this is going to be a hard competition.] Link immediately spoke.

'Are you sure?'

[Master... I have been on this land for more than 10 eternities... I know basic spells like these. My kin discovered most of these spells back then and gave them to the Elves.]

"Your time is going away, and you haven't even started calculating. 30 seconds remain... Mr. What is your name again? Oh, let it be... it doesn't matter anymore since you are getting disqualified anyways," Kio spoke as he looked at Anon with a mocking smile.

"A Wind Barrier Defensive type spell, Rank-C...." Anon spoke up.

Suddenly silence covered the whole Colosseum.

"S-Say it again...." Kio asked with a confused expression.

"That spell is a Wind Barrier Defensive type spell, Rank-C... Am I right?" Anon asked with an even louder voice.

"Y-Yes...." Kio answered as he couldn't understand how Anon gave the answer to this spell.

"Woohoo... Mr. Jule. Keep it going... he is not afraid of you."

"Go Go, Mr. Jule."

"Fuck him up, Mr. Jule. I am a big fan."

The audience immediately started cheering and shouting.

"Don't be so full of yourself, Kid. This wasn't even a real problem. I will come back to you in a moment.

Oi, Girl, Answer this question fast," Kio spoke as he turned to Ella and drew another complete magic circle on the board.

"It's a...." Ella was about to answer the question but Kio interrupted her.

"... That's right, it's the circle of Icicle Shards. You won 20 points... Now you," Kio spoke as he turned his attention back to Anon.

'But... I didn't answer the question?' Ella thought as she looked at Kio.

"Tell me the number of lines that I have to add inside this circle to complete it..." Kio asked as he drew another C-Ranked skill's Magic circle on the board.

[Master, This mortal speaks too much. Can I possess your body for the next 3 minutes? Just to stop his blabbering mouth. It's alright if you don't want to give.] Link requested.

[Your pet 'Link' has requested to possess your body for the next 3 minutes? Do you allow it?] [Yes/No]

'Well, I don't understand this Magic circles thing either. So, I will allow it.' Anon thought as he clicked on yes.

Suddenly, Anon felt warmth coming into his body, and he lost control over his hands and legs. He could only see the world through his eyes, but he couldn't move his body.

[Thank you, master. I will shut him up in just a minute.]

'No problem. Give him a good dose,' Anon replied.

"Mortal, you have to add 5 lines in that circle to complete it." Suddenly, Kio noticed that Anon's speaking style had changed; it sounded even more noble now, but he didn't give it too much attention.

"Hahaha... you are wrong. This circle only needs 3 lines to be completed. You are disqualified," Kio spoke as he mocked Anon. n/-0velbIn

Link moved Anon's body and stood up; he walked up to the blackboard, grabbed the chalk from the table, and started drawing lines over the magic circle that Kio had already drawn on the board.

"Here you go...." Link spoke as he gave the chalk back to Kio after drawing five lines over the magic circle and sat back down on his seat.

"T-This...." Kio was too shocked to say anything when he looked at the blackboard.

"You... Modified it...?"
