The World We Do Not Know 106 Welcome The King Of Hell

"I-i can't believe we actually won!" Jonathan says as he lay down on the couch with swollen arms and wrists.

One needs sheer strength to use a chain whip to change its direction and to release it quickly. Jonathan gave his all and ended up with red swollen wrists and shoulder joints.

The right shoulder of Rachel has been scared and swollen due to her continuous snipe attempts. The recoil of the sniper rifle is bad that the gun hits back inside her right shoulder as she shoots.

Fab is in a position where he cannot use his two hands for a week. Carrying that monstrous rotatory barrel machine gun around and shooting at everything and everyone. The spiritual power of all three is drained and their bodies hurt physically. Their temperature has been increased and their eyes burn every time they blink.

"You all! I cannot forget this day ever! Recruiting you guys is the best thing happened to this branch. I'm really proud of you all." Tsumugi who thought if they can win at least one match in the first round, they would have a chance to win matches in the second round, which is a 1v1 and their family would barely survive with points to keep them safe in the house.

But now, they are standing on top of the leader boardings against all odds.

"You all did great! Let's go to my favourite place, eat noodles and celebrate!" Faust exaggerates to everyone about his master plan to completely heal everyone.

Even when Faust announced in a cheerful way, none of the squad responded. They want to sleep and take rest, that's all they care about.

"We can order food from the shop." Tsumugi advices Faust to order the food than forcing others to join him.

"Hm! I did not think about this." Faust leaves to his room saying that.

-

After a short while, as soon as the doorbell rings, Faust runs to get the door. He doesn't allow anyone else near the door, he himself personally goes to open the door.

"Uncle Mitsuru!" Faust laughs loudly upon seeing the owner of the shop, himself came to deliver the food they ordered.

The restaurants in the lower land, deliver food to the powerhouses when asked to. That is the one thing no lower land restaurant could deny when ordered by a powerhouse.

"Sorry for calling you all the way up here uncle!"

"Ohhh! Faust! I would gladly come anywhere if you call me! And omo look at you! You are a captain already!" Mitsuru hugs Faust while immersed in happiness. They both keep talking to each other a lot about the wellbeing of everyone in the lower land.

"How are s.h.i.+zuku and MKun!" Faust asks of the twin kids of Mitsuru who are twelve years old now.

"They both keep asking about you! They miss you a lot! You completely stopped coming to my shop, back in the day you and Cai-"

"Ahhhhh! Uncle Mitsuru, why don't you get in first, please arrange the food and did you try that recipe I told you about?" Before Mitsuru can say the name of Caitlyn, Faust cuts in with different topic and takes Mitsuru to a kitchen.

"Recipe?" Mitsuru asks in confusion, but all Faust cares about now is to distract Mitsuru from the topic.

Mitsuru has brought five bowls of steaming ramen noodles with a thick broth, firm and thin soft noodles with a decent amount of chilli paste on top. He brought tempura of different veggies to accompany with noodles.

The batter of the tempura being crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. However, the shrimp tempura stood as the main attraction for everyone. Served with soya sauce and hot mustard, ginger mayo and creamy cheese lastly.

"Wow! The noodles are full of flavour from the broth."

"Mine are chewy, just like I had asked."

"The fried eggplant with shoyu is the best."

"You must have had the best chef's in your restaurant, please introduce them to us next time."

After eating the food brought to them, Fab and the others gets lost in the taste of the food and Tsumugi goes as far as to asking Mitsuru to introduce her to his chef's.

Faust rubs his nose listening to his squad praising his favourite chef. "Haha but it is uncle Mitsuru, he himself cooks and manages the hotel while taking care of his twin kids as a single father." Faust tells to his family members about Mitsuru.

"Being a single father, raising kids and managing the business is a big thing! I'm impressed you are able to do it with ease." Tsumugi with Fab, Jonathan and Rachel praises Mitsuru more for his endurance to deal with everything.

"Of course! Uncle Mitsuru used to run an organization and  r-"

"Ahhh, Faust! I brought that favourite dessert of yours." Mitsuru cuts Faust boasting about him.

The long night is spent with food, stories and celebrations. They all forgot about their ranks, worries, about another round of purge waiting for them tomorrow. They spent the time like a real family and fell asleep together in the main hall.

-

The next day, everyone got ready and is waiting for Faust, the final member to arrive in the main hall. Fab, Jonathan and Rachel got bandages on their wounds. Finally, Faust comes prepared and leads the way with his squad, Tsumugi and Charles.

"Are you ready to win!" Fab asks him confidently, his voice is different from yesterday. He is full of confidence that Faust is going to win today.

Everyone heads towards the Arena. There is nothing strange or flashy in the Arena today. It is plain and normal without any piece of metal or concrete inside. It is all covered with sand.

All the n.o.bles partic.i.p.ating in the purge sits in the balcony with their respective squads that partic.i.p.ated in the first round. There are a total of twelve n.o.bles sitting in the balcony with four members of their squad standing behind them.

Above the balcony are three thrones placed in a triangle. The lower two occupied by Uzume and Leviathan and the upper and bigger throne that belongs to Hades the house captain has been left empty.

The audience seats are filled by soldiers and families of the soldiers. "We are here today to celebrate the second day of the purge." The host with a blue blazer on blue pants and white s.h.i.+rt. Welcomes the audience and n.o.bles in his style.

"Today is going to be a display of martial arts! Each branch will pick two of their best martial artists and one will be sent to represent their branch." As the host is explaining the rules of the round that is going to take place today. The clear sky turns cloudy in a brief moment.

"This aura!" The n.o.bles stand up from their seats and so does Uzume and Leviathan. The black clouds in the sky starts to glow with purple lightning. The clouds start to twirl around in a circle in the middle as the heaven's opening the gates to earth.

"Tsk showing off again!" Leviathan is vacillating between jealousy and admiration. He admires his dad but is jealous of the enormous spiritual power that he possesses.

The next second a purple lightning falls onto the throne. The audience kneel on one of their knees with their right hand resting on their chest.

The n.o.bles stand tall by saluting the king with their hands on their hearts and the squads that are partic.i.p.ating in the purge is kneeling down on one knee.

The system of power is clearly shown in this one moment. Every soldier and person other than the n.o.bles, get down on one of their knees and lowers their heads to salute and the n.o.bles and royal families, salutes just by bowing their heads. 

A man can be seen standing at the place where the lightning was. .h.i.t. He is wearing a long black coat with large white b.u.t.tons which is up to his thighs. With black and red pants and white shoes. He is wearing a black and red cape, which is black on the outside and red on the inside. 

He got fifteen ribbons on the left side of his coat and 10 medals on the right. With a white band worn across from his waist to the top of his shoulder and an aiguillette that goes on to the right side of his s.h.i.+rt.

The cape on his right shoulder is folded back a little, attaining the look of cross cape, which exposes the four stars on his shoulder strap which defines him as the only four star general in the house.

"You may rise!" Hades announces to the entire arena, in a mic given to him, the crowd in the audience immediately, gets up on their feet and welcome him with cheerings and throwing flower petals into the air in a delicate way.

"My King, we are blessed to have your presence between us." The host welcomes Hades on behalf of the management team.

"It's a martial art round! Of course I would be here!" Hades replies to the host and suddenly makes eye contact  Faust who is standing in the balcony behind Tsumugi's mother.
