"Oh this necklace" The narrow-eyed boy decided and threw away the necklace he had made the bracelet.
Sanji and Theodore swallowed their increasingly dry spit.
"Don't even if you sympathize with that ugly parent named Urino, that necklace is poison. I didn't die because I've been trained since I was a kid." The little-eyed boy explained.
The two of them were increasingly surprised not to think, even it turned out that this narrow-eyed child realized that the necklace was poison.
"My name is Mitsuya, I'm seven years old." The little-eyed boy introduced himself.
The three of them who had already introduced themselves nodded, while continuing to run.
"Are you guys thirsty?" Mitsuya threw three cans of drink out of the haumuru heirloom ring. Sanji and Theodorus reflex caught Mitsuya's throw.
Sanji and Theodorus look at each other intending to reject the boy's offer.
Gleg. glegg.. Xernathan thoughtlessly swallowed the drink to an end with one two three long tugs.
Sanji and Theodore's mouths were wide open usually Xernathan's most careful.
"Woii fucking Xernathan, you're the one who always warned us to be careful of others but why are you acting this way." Theodore did not understand anymore with the contents of the head of this amethyst-eyed child.
"Be quiet, Theo, you have to save energy, we don't know when to run." Xernathan replied casually.
"Fuck Jonathan, you just answer Theo's question." Sanji also urged an answer from Xernathan.
While running Xernathan scratched his head that was not itchy. "I just feel Mitsuya is a good person, my feelings so far have never been wrong."
Hearing Xernathan Mitsuya's explanation smiled. In his heart he was afraid to be shunned by these three new friends.
Of course Xernathan knew Mitsuya from his first life. Mitsuya was as important as Theodore. For Xernathan these two were the ones who sacrificed the most for Xernathan.
So far this trip Xernathan began to return to meet people he knew first. Xernathan's journey will definitely be easier to pursue his dreams.
'I never thought I would come back to see these people again. I hope their kindness is still the same as before." Inner Xernathan laughed loosely staring at the faces of Theodorus and Mitsuya alternately.

Hours of time passed. The passageway that was located underground was like there was no end to it. Over four hundred people had already given up. Leaving the people who were still running numbered less than half as long as they were in the starting line.
"Be.. How much longer are we going to get to the location of the second stage exam.." A yellow-toothed man began to run out of breath.
They had even run over seventy kilometers very far from the initial estimate of this yellow-toothed man. Urino had lied to him.
The eyes of the yellow-toothed man began to blur and his chest felt cold. The sweat that soaked his clothes reduced a lot of the water content inside the man's body. I don't know how many kilograms the man's weight has dropped which is certain he looks thinner than before.
The distance of the yellow-toothed man with the closest entourage alone differed by tens of meters. The run is getting slower.
"Hey, you look really messy, huh.."
"Have given up, our distance to the location of the second stage exam is still tens of kilometers away. You've wasted a lot of your energy by yelling and jumping for joy."
"No.. Aac.. I can't give up on running this far"
"You just keep that shit.." Urino snorted annoyedly at the sight of this yellow-toothed man continuing to walk even though his breathing had occasionally come to a halt.
"People like you are deliberately set aside early to face the terrible obstacles ahead, you just stop, never take the elite military exam next year." Urino smirked at the yellow-toothed man who was eating her talk.
"Yeah, I did it." Urino seemed satisfied to see the people who had stopped running behind her.
Urino immediately ran fast following the group that was ahead there. In fact, the strength of Urino's physical endurance is more full of preparation than other ordinary people in that place.
The dark-skinned man had no intention of mentally knocking out the other examinees with just his speaking ability but Urino's physical qualities could also be in the fight.

Brukk.. The running of the people rumbling broke the silence of the passageway in front of them. They were over four hundred people at the moment.
'Over eighty miles we ran. How far will the end of this underground passage be.' Inner Sanji continued to wonder seeing many people who stopped and were preceded by them.
Many men who were more mature than them were seen strewn on the floor. Most of them are unconscious.
The further they ran down the aisle the more that fell stopped walking.
"Thaa.. Stairs.." Sanji's mouth was gaping, he quickly stared at Theodorus.
Theodorus smiled wryly looking at the stairs before him. The stairs were even the same as the passageway tens of kilometers long before, dark with torch fire lighting. I don't know what the stairs are.
"Aaa. I'm no longer strong.." Theodore could not even open his eyes. His breath has long used his mouth.
"Only one in a million start-ups succeed in becoming a military elite"
"This is the fate of an ordinary child like me"
"The test of this military elite is indeed very difficult"
"I'm sorry I underestimated him."
Xernathan stood looking at Theodore who was bent to his knees to catch his breath. Xernathan had climbed a few steps.
"Do you want me to carry you, huh?" Mitsuya offered himself. Even he looks still strong even though his body is also wet in sweat.
"Sih you are so arrogant.." Theodore forced a conversation.
Xernathan still looked at Theodorus expectantly. At the moment, no one can help Theodore but himself.
In the first life, Xernathan was just as resigned as the situation when staring at the stairs that number hundreds of thousands and continue to rise to the top.
Xernathan wanted to give up, but looking back at the dark passage made him feel afraid. The thought of his little boy at that time, if only he stopped then he and his sister would die.
Though for tens of kilometers before he and his brother and Theodorus were pushed and took turns to ride the skateboard owned by Mitsuya but still, the body of a small child was once very weak.
Even while climbing the stairs in front of Theodorus and Mitsuya willingly alternated with him holding Gavin.
But in the current life Xernathan can only hope Theodorus does not give up.
Even if Theodore wanted to lower his prestige, Xernathan would be happy to carry him. Thanks to his Qi ability Xernathan only felt a little exhausted at this moment.
'Come on Theo..' Xernathan clenched his hand. Staring at Theodore who was still adjusting his breathing. Xernathan knew that Theodore could, there was a strong reason that Theodore had to succeed in becoming a military elite.
Theodorus walked slowly up one or two steps while taking off his shirt and passing it to Mitsuya.
"Mitsuya please keep my clothes inside the haumuru ring." Theodorus is now bare-chested. Mitsuya without objecting immediately removed Theodorus's clothes even while still in Theodore's hands.
