Scene: Doramai School – First Class, Section B
Bun: So students, your final tests are going to start.
Students: What…?!
Bun: Calm down, calm down—not right now. They'll start in two months.
And there's one more piece of news. From next year onward, there will be no national or international tournaments. This was decided in the last meeting, but I forgot to tell you earlier.
Precious: Then what about this year, sir?
Bun: This year, the international tournament will still be held, and it will take place at a school inside the Empire.
Shai: Empire?
Bun: Yes. And for those who are participating in the tournament—like Shai and Nimi—your final tests will start earlier. I think you'll have to give your exams within one month.
Nimi: Huh?! Why?
Bun: Because all international participants will be leaving the kingdom for a long time due to the tournament, which overlaps with the exam period.
Pretty (whispering): I see…
Random Student: Then when will the final exams start?
Bun: Those who are not going to the tournament have two months. Those who are going will start their final exams next month.
Aquira: Yes, sir!
Scene: After school – Precious's house
Lior and Shai are studying when Precious comes over.
Precious: Hey Lior, Shai—what are you doing?
Shai: Shhh! The final exams start next month.
Lior: I can't afford to fail. What about you? You're a topper anyway…
Precious: Yeah… yeah… yeah…
Narrator (Lior): And so, the final exams arrived. I, Shai, Nimi, Pretty, Miliem, Damu, and of course Precious—we all passed.
Scene: Open ground of Doramai School
Precious and the other students are present along with Principal Rana and several teachers.
Rana: Everyone, listen carefully. You'll be traveling to other kingdoms for this tournament. Behave properly there and give it your best. Make sure the Shin Kingdom's honor remains high—don't bring shame to it. I won't be able to attend the tournament.
Shai: W-why, sir?
Rana: Because this is an international tournament. Only representatives of the participating kingdoms will be present there.
Precious (thinking): I see.
Rana: That's all I wanted to say. You'll leave for the tournament next week. I hope you all have a safe journey.
Scene: Next week – Inside the bus
All the students are seated, just like last time, with the same teachers.
Baki: Okay everyone, listen carefully. We have a long journey ahead to reach the Empire. First, we'll pass through the Cult Kingdom, then the Surai Kingdom, and finally reach the Empire.
Shai: Sir, why aren't we going through Secret Sky City?
Baki: Because over 80% of Secret Sky is covered in jungle, where many dangerous monsters and beasts live. Also, getting permission from Secret Sky would take a lot of time.
Damu: Then why are we going through the Surai Kingdom? It's currently at war. Shouldn't we avoid it and go through the Dima Kingdom instead?
Shila: It's good that you students are knowledgeable. But don't worry—we have permission from both the Empire and the Surai Kingdom, so crossing the borders won't be a problem.
Damu: I see…
Baki: Still, it's a very long journey. We'll travel continuously every day and only stop at night to rest. Is that clear?
Everyone: Yes, sir!
Miliem: By the way, what kind of Empire is it?
Baki: Hmm… to be honest, I don't know. I've never been there. But I've heard it has very strict rules and many high-fey people live there.
Miliem: I see.
Scene: Night – Campfire
Everyone is sitting around the campfire.
Shila: Students, Sir Baki and I just checked, and there have been some changes in the plan.
Precious: What kind of changes?
Baki: A new vehicle has been launched by the Naco Country. It's called a helicopter. With its help, we can travel much faster—faster than cars. It can fly in the air.
Pretty: Wow, seriously?! I want to go!!!
Nimi: Yes, yes!!!
Baki (showing the map): Don't get too excited yet—not now. First, we'll go to Wujin City in the Cult Kingdom. From there, we'll use a portal to reach Cangyun City, and from there, we'll take a helicopter directly to the Empire.
Lior: But sir, we can go directly to Cangyun City. Why do we need to go to Wujin City?
Baki: What kind of question is that?
Shila: Cangyun City is very far. To reach it quickly, we'll use a portal from Wujin City. Wujin City is very close to the border of the Cult and Shin Kingdoms.
Lior: I see…
Scene: Sudden attack
Suddenly, an attack hits Baki.
Baki: Agh…?!?!
Shila & others: ?!
A beast-like creature attacks them—tiger-like in appearance, with wings and horns.
Precious: What is that?
Shila: It's a Tigeran Beast!!
Baki: Everyone, get inside your tents! We'll handle this beast!
Lior: Don't worry, sir. We're pro students—and we're from Doramai School. Don't forget that!
Damu: Guys, kill all those beasts!!
Scene: After the fight
The beasts' bodies lie on the ground. Precious stays seated in his place while the other students defeat the beasts with the help of Shila and Baki.
Kail (Precious's Manas skill): Why didn't you join the fight?
Precious: When I have such good fighters with me, why should I fight unnecessarily?
Kail: That actually makes sense…
Lior: I killed four beasts.
Shai: Oh! I killed five… hahaha!
Lior: -_-…!!!!
Precious: And anyway, I don't like killing. I'm a peace-loving person. I try to avoid fighting as much as possible.
Kail: Then why did you send Rain and Sunny Doll to take revenge? Peace-loving human…!
Precious: That was their job—to take revenge on those who kept them separated from their sister for a long time and caused them pain. Those people deserved the consequences of their actions.
Kail: Wasn't that a bit too much?
Precious: …I don't think so.
