THE GREAT KINGS
Chapter 2's

Now that I and Celine are 15 years old, this is my time to enter the royal academy even though I really don't care about anything like that other than being a great king. 2 Years ago Bernika also entered the royal academy and he kept boasting of it to me in the letter he sent, and Bellanca is now an alumni of the academy, even so no one until now could surpass all his achievements while being a disciple. Even Bernika's high ranking score still can't beat her - I'm surprised by those two who are always trying to prove who is the strongest in the Dalbert family?.

Meanwhile the state of the current earth ape was already different from the previous one which was very weak now they were already able to defeat the rock giant-class monster that was famous for its deadly destructive power, and Celine also grew stronger from the moment I met her she had also managed to recruit some new members from some races while doing the mission I was given. I don't know what he's doing with them but it looks like it's pretty cool and I think it fits in with the path to becoming a great king.

***

I was currently staring at the academy building from outside the gate with a blank look on my face

"For the time being no one should know about me as king, because it won't be fun anymore then".

Seeing there were so many different kinds of people entering the academy gate - from a person who looked like the main character in a story, to a plain young man who was popular among women, to a, there also appear beautiful female main characters such as Japanese manga or novels, until there are also a few other narcissists behind them.

And I hate the kind of creatures like them all, the point is that I will beat them up if they try to talk to me - the aura of the protagonist is no match for the great king who I believe to be an absolute existence. Speaking of which there are no other races other than humans in this academy, well I also don't care about such a troublesome storyline the most important thing for me is to become a true grand king.

*A week later after the reception ceremony of the students I was now in my classroom watching the teacher explain the lesson, [haa..this is very boring, so I did not have time to do the activities of the great king, so I did not have time to do the activities of the great king,after all this teacher who teaches is very annoying, look at his arrogant face when explaining the lesson-haa I want to beat him up].

After the lesson was over I finally had some free time, that's what I was thinking before these two idiots approached me

"Hey hey key wanna come with us?"

"Well, how about we go to the cafeteria and find a girl".

These two of them were my friends at the academy after the reception ceremony, and because in order to hide my extraordinary identity I decided to befriend some losers like them. The round-faced one is named Baul (his family also ranks as Baron), and the thick-faced and handsome Axton from a Baron-ranked family who owns a stone quarry business. Unlike my family who specialize in knights.

"I'm not coming, even though I have a lot of business"

"Just like an important person, I'd better come with us later I'll buy you a fruit salad that you like in the canteen".I went with them without a second thought.

**When I was eating my food in the canteen, the idiot Axton grievously complained how difficult it was to find a lover in the academy when he saw five narcissists surrounded by girls, "why should I look at something that men are jealous of?", "Ha?- weren't you the one who brought me here arrogantly if you were going to get a girl?" I questioned Axton's attitude while eating a fruit salad in my mouth. "Shut up! People who don't understand youth like you better spend your food". "Let's calm Axton if you keep babbling it's not clear like that later your face is worse, after all five people are the children of Duke-ranked nobles, they can't be compared to you".

Baul's words irritated Axton until a vein appeared in his head, "haa? I don't want to hear that from the guy who's always been rejected as rude as your kayak chick!", "Pull back your words, "Pull back your words, I'm not just rejecting them who don't know my great skills",

"Skill, what do you have? you can only boast of that long nose!".

Ignoring these two idiots quarrelling I finished my meal then turned my head back with food in my mouth and looked at the idiots who were more idiots than the two of them, the five narcissists looked arrogant with a gleaming aura around them that made wanting to punch right in the face of each of them, when I didn't want to care about them came a beautiful woman and said to the five narcissists.

"I've been waiting for you since then at the place you promised but why don't you data-"

"Whispering, don't you see I'm enjoying a meal with my friends, you're just annoying so go while I'm still soft"

"Hrk! You-"

the woman left with tears on her face while laughing at the people around. Seeing that Axton and Baul actually showed their frustrated faces to those five narcissists. As I was about to get out of my place one of those narcissists said something interesting to me.

"Are you also going to conquer the monster led by Count Rossebed?"(Count is a noble title), the blue-haired narcissist airs to them while cutting the steak meat on his plate.

"Of course I'm gonna tag along" the yellow-haired narcissist.

"Hmp of course, it's our duty as upper class nobles" the green hair narcissist.

"At the same time the monsters won't be able to do anything - how about you Leo?" narcissistic redhead.

"Either I don't know if I'm going to go, such a thing is too boring and has no challenges because the monster is just an earth ape" the purple hair narcissist.

Those purple snobbish words made me realize what they were talking about, it seemed like the kingdom began to investigate about the events caused by the earth ape while fighting the stone giant that even the palace knights had difficulty defeating, while the lowest level monsters were able to do it. Then they also wanted to find out the reason for his increased power of the earth ape with the mission of conquest.

And by the way the names of the five narcissists are -; Leo Viollet(purple), Rayn Diamond(blue), Vos Yellows(yellow), Brad Verdantt(green), Bloord Redguar(red).

The five of them seemed to want to partake in the conquest and arrogantly underestimated what they were about to face, after hearing their conversation I decided to go back to my room in the dormitory leaving two idiots who were competing to tease a woman and get beaten up by her lover.

**at night, a girl dressed as a ninja, sent by Celine, came to inform me of the plot to subjugate the ape of the earth.

"Your majesty Miss Celine has prepared an army for..!?"

The girl was surprised to see that I had already turned into a grand king fashion when she spoke, I then looked into her eyes and said

["I already knew about that, tell Celine that she doesn't need to intervene because I'm the one who will lead the army and tell those stupid humans who they're trying to kick"]

With a sweaty face the ninja girl looked down

"Okay, your majesty!",(the noble aura is so frightening and oppressive, I even almost wet the bed, this is the person that Miss Celine honors and who is worshipped by the earth apes?).

After the girl left I also went to the place of the royal knights led by the head of the Rossebed noble family, I was flying over them in the fashion of my great king wearing a black round mask and a robe. It seemed like all the warriors who were going to do this mission were practicing and there were also resting.

"We soldiers who were supposed to work in the palace were instead ordered to exterminate some weak monkeys"

"It seems that the higher-ups are too wary of the small development of the earth ape monster that is considered the weakest monster"

"If the reward wasn't big then I definitely wouldn't have come along just to face the little monsters"

"Haha...!".

Discussions of the soldiers were like they would only face a weak little flea. I see their stupidity just smile

"Basic hmnp the hickheads, you'll soon know what despair is" while disappearing into the air I stared at the five narcissists who seemed to be on this mission as well. Maybe because they are from the Duke's noble family they are given the opportunity to show their respective abilities in fighting in order to inherit the head of the family.

***

Tomorrow at around 10 am all the royal troops finally move towards the forbidden forest where the earth monkeys live, they use armor complete with magic, and they will be able to, except for the five narcissists whose armor is really striking and shows that they are better than other warriors while riding their horses each according to color, even the female warriors there were to the point of being fascinated to see the sparkles around them.

"Well, they look like ("yo monsters here and eat us"), you spoiled rich kid". The male soldier who was commenting on the five people was a little jealous.

"Leo I don't think you're going on this mission, why did you decide to leave?" Ask the Rayn.

"My father forced me to come along even though I kept rejecting him, he said it was very important to be the future head of the family"

"Haha it turns out you're having trouble toowell, just take it easy if there's a monster approaching you I'll protect you" Bloord laughed as he boasted.

"I'm not that weak until you have to protect"

"Why, by the way, did Vos really want to take part in this mission? Didn't his family not really care about this kind of monster problem"

Brad asked who saw Vos in front of him.

"Did you forget?, he did this for his loved ones, the second princess, although this was only a small monster subjugation but because the princess considered this important then she wanted to show her cool side to the second princess" Rayn happily explained.

"Didn't he always get rejected outright? He was really persistent if he got what he wanted" Brad said, watching Vos dashingly sit on his horse.

"While Vos loves the second princess and Leo also likes the third princess of the kingdom Miss Emira right, if they manage to marry the two princesses then they will later become kan hahaha brothers" The laughing Bloord looked at the serious Vos and Leo

"Well, there's no one who deserves anything more than them, and I can't believe there's anyone who can beat them both to get a daughter, moreover, the ones who are stronger in fighting than them besides us".

The five continued to tell stories until they all reached the entrance of the forbidden forest.

"Everything tonight we will rest here before we go into the forest, so always be prepared no one to be separated from the army because here are many high-level monsters everywhere" command the head of the Rossebed forces to all of them.

"Finally we can rest as well, I think we'll keep going until we get stupid" said Brad, who sat relieved on the wood

"Well, even now we're not going to fight monsters, but it's also good for storing power" Bloord was lying on the carpet that the waiter had prepared for him.

From within the forest like someone was watching them without them knowing, until a few minutes passed and the black shadow disappeared in an instant. They all rested while being alert to their surroundings without anyone noticing that they were being watched.

***

The next morning after breakfast all the knights finally entered the forest, they found various monsters strong enough to block their way - but still able to overcome with the strength of the current army. For some time they entered the forbidden forest, they were surprised by the many carcasses of top-level monsters scattered everywhere, as if there had been a war between fellow monsters to fight over the territory.

"Lord Rossebed like him we are getting closer to the goal, although it is difficult to believe but all the carcasses of this monster in the predicted actions of the apes of the earth"

"It's beyond my expectations, I don't understand how the lowest level monsters do this impossible thing, but there must be a mastermind behind all this and if there is one, it will certainly be very dangerous if we become our enemies, hey, you better have this mission done report this matter to the royal family"

"Goodly do".

While the army chief was talking about important matters with his subordinates, the five people with striking equipment looked like they were on an ordinary school holiday with no regard for the monster carcasses around them.

Bloord picked up a twig on the ground and stabbed into the body of the Bear Dead monster lying on the ground like he was playing around, seeing that Vos also became a little interested and wanted to imitate what Bloord was doing - but all of it was stopped by the sound of the cry of monsters from within the dense forest, to make birds fly.

"A what is it?!" vos shouted in shock as well as the others. All the soldiers prepared to fight and put up a magic barrier, while the head of the Rossebed army was at the very front of them all to lead the attack. With his sparkling armor the reflection of the Rossebed sunlight cast magic into his sword and was ready to fight.

As everyone was still waiting suddenly a swarm of ape monsters with fur that lit up like a red flame came from within the forest shouting while lashing out at their chests.

"What the hell with their numbers, moreover they are different from the earth ape monsters that I have known so far" said the vice-captain in a surprised tone.

"Indeed I also felt there was something different about them all" Rossebed saw a herd of earth macaques.

Meanwhile the five Duke children in their luxurious combat attire proudly underestimated the herd of monsters.

"Well, what if they are different? they are still weak monsters that are even weaker than goblins" Bloord said arrogantly.

"That's of course, lowly creatures like them don't deserve to live and breed" Rayn sneered.

"Captain Rossebed we'd better get rid of them right now, so that this is all done quickly" Leo told the Rossebed chairman.

"Sorry Mr. Leo, but for now we better wait for what will happen"

"But if we wait then mere-!"

"Please wait a little while, I also feel that these monsters are not going to attack us now"

"How did you know?"

"Hemp it's probably because of experience".

Hearing that the five of them became annoyed at being considered inexperienced and turned their faces away, seeing that Rossebed only let out a short sigh.

After all the earth apes gathered in front of the royal army they all stopped moving like they were waiting for something. The royal troops were curious about what happened, until they heard the screams they heard from the back of the herd of monkey monsters.

The apes gave way to a giant, bright silver monkey carrying a small house on its back. Looking at that huge figure all the troops even Rossebed was shocked with wide eyes except for the five narcissists who were still standing arrogantly looking at such a unique monster for the first time.

"Tu wait, isn't that it?"

"Well, this creature is the monster"

"Why could he be here, what increased power did the earth ape do?"

All of the soldiers fell silent motionless as they saw the huge monster covering the sunlight above them.
