The Traitor: Relic War
Chp. 8 Meeting Elize With the Traitor Because of the King's Urge

"As expected of Princess Luna... He got 1st in the entrance exam.."

"He even completed the practice exam in less than half a minute... That's grand..."

"Even the test scores are perfect..."

The discussion of the applicants who were looking at the Pengurung board where the names that passed the academy entrance exam was plastered finally reached Zen's ears who at that time also intended to see the exam rankings.

Almost everyone is noisier when talking about Luna who educates the first rank in the entrance exam with perfect Theory score and practice test time which is very fast which is 22 Seconds only.

Below Luna's rating is Rose Hillemy's second place with a perfect Theory score and a half-minute practice exam time.

And for Zen himself he was ranked 56th where there was in fifth place before the last with the acquisition of perfect Theory and practice tests 1 minute 15 Seconds, with the acquisition of perfect theory and practice tests, inversely proportional to the actual events during the practice test, where he even completed it less than 2 seconds.

There was no other reason why he could be ranked so far away unless it was the act of Arthur leading the admission meeting of the academy's students.

Arthur ordered all the examiners and assessors that Zen would not be placed in the first rank on the grounds that it would cause a lot of controversy and protest from the students and also fighters because in addition to being considered to have useless magic, Zen is also known as a lazy warrior who is only a few experts in the field of martial arts, in addition, he must keep the secret of Zen who is the Traitor and he must also make Zen can Focus with the mission given by him.

That is because whoever is ranked in the top 5 then he will be directly recruited to enter the student council and take care of all matters related to the academy, he said, it was with that consideration that Arthur would not let Zen rank one and choose to alienate him far below the rank.

"What this is called the utilization of power" Zen murmured when he saw his name that was almost at the last rank, and of course the ones that rank last are the Iyrs with a Theory B score and a one and a half minute practice exam time.

Zen chose to move from the audience because it was almost night, the exam was conducted from morning until noon while the results were announced in the afternoon and because it was long enough to wait for Zen to feel tired and want to return to his room immediately.

"Fighter Ken..." Calling out a voice from behind when Zen had just walked out of the entrance gate of the Academy, Zen turned his head and looked towards Princess Luna who was then alone.

"Is that Princess Luna not good at remembering my name?, or is it on purpose... But let... What's it gonna take.." Zen snorted a little and then turned the ball his eyes as if he did not care much about the mistake made by Luna when she mentioned his name.

"Don't pretend you don't know... Test results... Why are you at such a far-reaching level, what have you done? you should have taken first place..." Luna who spoke bluntly only got the look of Zen's eyes that looked increasingly unconcerned, she could not forget the moment where Zen obliterated the rabbit doll in one blink of an eye.

"I don't really care about the position you're referring to... You can occupy it if you want... In addition, rank is just a number that is useless in real war... So I don't want her at all..."

"Are you mocking me... You're saying that rank is useless... You think how long I've been practicing magic in order to be at that rank... So I don't want to be in that rank just because you're giving in and don't care..."

"Well really, even if you say that I still don't care about anyone who's there... I wouldn't even care if I didn't pass the entrance exam... So don't force..."

"Next is the Princess..." Continuing Zen called out to Luna who was sitting and staring down, Luna raised her head and then looked at Zen who was then putting on an evil grin.

"Although it's only a little bit I've been satisfied to be in that rank and get you to be in the top rank... Remember, you did not underestimate my magical abilities... You must not have thought that I could finish it in such a short time, right?... And to me seeing the faces of the losers - the people who underestimated me was quite satisfying... And as you said earlier, I congratulate you on taking first place from the pity of this person you underestimated..." Zen put on his evil smile and with a condescending look he spoke to Luna who made Luna herself silently peek.

"Just kidding... Haha... There is no need to fear the princess because part of what I said just now was just joking... All right if there's no more I'll be back now..." Zen smiled then twisted his body walking away from Luna who was still idly glued.

"What... What was that... He's like a criminal..."

Night Day / The Royal Palace of the Terrace.

"So... What are you calling me tonight - night like this..." Zen who was standing right at the entrance spoke to Arthur who was sitting in his chair and was examining some documents that were there.

"Dries... I'll tell you the route you're going to take so you can meet Elize soon...." Call her casually while reaching to the edge of the table, a place where a map of considerable size exists.

"Hooo's... I thought you were gonna tell me to do something crazy..." Zen said walking closer to Arthur.

"What do you think I'm..."

"So... Which route should I take" he asked as he looked towards the Map lying on the table.

"It's been almost a week since Elize's departure... Using a no-load horse... Then he should have gone through almost three-quarters of the original route..."

"Fast that... It means he'll be there soon..."

"The Sol village is near the border, right?"

"Yes..."

"What a village is good - fine..."

"I don't know... It's been two months since I last got the report on Sol village... The last time they asked for extra food supplies for the troops guarding the border... After that there's no more..."

"Doesn't mean the village is not good... Why is it so easy you still don't understand..."

"What we're going to talk about is not the village, but about Elize's whereabouts so just skip about that..."

"Wait don't you care as a king about the village in your kingdom... What kind of king are you..."

"Don't advise me... I know how to treat this kingdom..." Arthur slightly shouted then cleared his throat, again revealing the map after seeing the reaction of Zen looking at him with a look of intimidation.

"So Elize was most likely in the village of Sol, immediately pick her up and bring her here to this kingdom... As soon as possible you should take him..."

"If I don't meet him how?..." Zen slightly tilted his head mocking Ke Arthur who put on an annoyed face when he saw Zen's face.

"Let's see him..."

"You know there's a welcoming party tomorrow... And I want to attend the party..." Complain Zen.

"I'm going to back off her party to the night so find Elize before the night gets it..."

"Why are you so desperate to get your daughter back... Take it easy you said he was the strongest person in the academy not so you shouldn't have to worry..."

"You don't understand how a father feels to be safe while his daughter can die at any time... Just find him if you don't want your secret exposed..."

"Just unload... I'm not afraid anyway, because when the secret is revealed I will kill them and also destroy this kingdom" Zen fearlessly gave Arthur such a stern look and killing intent.

"Handering... Haha your reaction is the same as that of princess Luna... You are father and son... All right, I'll go look for him soon... Make sure you're really back off at the party... Until later" Zen swung his palm in front of Arthur's face which at that time also reacted the same as Luna who was still transfixed after hearing the words from him that were so threatening.

"Shadow Magic: Reach Enhancer" Zen chanted his magic after arriving in front of the entrance gate of the Kingdom of Terrace.

With that magic chant he was able to expand the range of shadows he could control, meaning that he was further augmenting his magic power through that expansion, moreover, this time was a dark night where the moon itself was covered by dark clouds.

After extending his magic range Zen was swallowed into the shadow of the night and disappeared from the ground, then came out just below a large tree that was in a place foreign to him.

"Ohh!!! Si... Who are..." The loud cry of the woman sounded quite deafening to Zen's ears who had just done the transfer with her shadow.

"Ah... Could it be that you're Princess Elize?" He asked after seeing the woman with long silver hair, wearing white and red armor, She was now sitting leaning against a tree with a brown horse nearby.

"By... How do you know..." He kept his distance from Zen.

"real right... Thank goodness I met you..." Zen who looked relieved now walked closer to Elize.

"You're who..."

"Well... I'm sorry Zen Kanade, one of the warriors summoned by the Kingdom of Terarria... Arthu-I mean the noble is worried about you so he told me to pick you back up...".
