Chapter 58: The Beach 2

After getting over Aurora's narcissism and their shock, Aurora finally started doing her job and gave instructions.

"Each team shall now choose any number of contestants they want when all three of you are ready, I will explain the rules and we will start the game.

This time 4 members of the team decided to participate in the game as it was supposedly the hardest one so far.

No one was surprised when Emir, Emily, and Sara expressed their intention to participate but when Samael also decided to participate people had quite a reaction.

Samael was quite mysterious and very good-looking. In addition, he also never made any moves except that one time for Morana, and these two puzzle boxes were always together.

The most surprised were Zoel, Shio, and Sophia as they knew who Samael was, well more or less.

Their reaction was also noticed by Ezra who already had a hunch about Morana's identity, and he also couldn't hide his interest in these two.

After everyone was ready Aurora summoned everyone to humbly stand beside her on the side while enjoying the game.

This of course resulted in another series of glares from the people.

As the participants were left on the beach with only Aurora's last words, "Try to survive the 7 punishments of the sea god." They were given no other explanation.

In total 9 participants were in this game and Morana's team was with the biggest number.

Most of them looked quite confused and out of place while some managed to concentrate and knew this game wasn't going to be as simple as it seemed.

But before anything happened they were once again stopped by Aurora's words.

"Wait...wait." 

Everyone looked at her with questioning gazes.

"We have more contestants coming in a second, so let's wait anyway the more the merrier."

No one had a chance to protest as they looked at the child's creepy, deep smile while she flicked her long light blue hair.

And sure enough the next second, another group of participants appeared.

This time it was also Morana's old acquaintances, the team Anna and Jake were in.

They also noticed two familiar teams and nodded in greeting.

After their last meeting, the team was only missing one member, Anri, the middle-aged man with a creepy smile.

Seeing them experiencing Aurora's narcissism somehow made other contestants happy.

The group quickly chose 3 contestants for the game and joined the others.

The three were Luka, Samantha, and Lola, one of the twins.

When Anna and Jake saw Morana they instantly greeted her and even started a conversation surprising their other members.

"Rana dear how are you, we didn't have a chance to talk to you back then because of some uncultured people." Said Anna as she came forward to hug Morana only to be pulled back by Jake.

"Stop that or Samael will kill you and then kill me for not stopping you." He said.

"Anna, Jake you know this kid?" Asked Lulu.

"Hmm. We met back at Lilildam, Rana is this year's winner." Said Jake surprising everyone around.

"Wait, you mean this kid here won this year's competition? Don't joke around Jake how could this kid win the competition and defeat all of you even sis Anna what is he 9?" Disbelief was written all over Lulu's face as he looked at Morana with sparkling eyes.

"I am not joking, it's true." Said Jake helplessly.

After receiving confirmation Lulu quickly reacted and started moving towards Morana

"Ne ne let's fight." He said with determination.

"Hmm. Don't want to." Said Morana nonchalantly.

"Ehhhhhhh why?" Being rejected Lulu couldn't help crouching down looking like a large abandoned dog.

"I don't have time."

"Then let's fight tomorrow." Instantly his puppy eyes changed to sparkles and expectation.

"No."

"Ehhh why?" Once again a large abandoned dog came back.

One must say it was quite funny looking at a large hunk trying to act cute with the kid.

"No time."

"Then when do you have time?"

"After Dream city."

"Okay then let's fight after we leave the dream city, but after we finish this district I want to move into your team." Said, Lulu.

"Hmm?"

"It's so you won't die before we fight." Said Lulu with an innocent smile that would be charming had he said anything else.

"Cough...Cough."

Hearing his words Zoel couldn't help coughing.

"Hey, Hey I also want to be in the same team as little Rana." Protested Anna with the heart eyes.

"Anna, come on don't bother Rana, maybe his team won't agree." Said Jake but it was clear he also wanted to be in the same team.

Morana didn't bother with them and just turned to Zoel.

"What do you think?"

It was the first time his sister talked to him and gave him so much attention so Zoel couldn't help feeling excited.

"Do you want them to be on our team?" He managed to look calm in the end and asked back.

"We lack numbers anyway and they are better than nothing," said Morana while shrugging her shoulders.

"Well, I don't mind them joining. What about you guys?" Asked Zoel to other members of the team but no one minded. This was quite a harmonious group.

Since no one had any problems, it seemed like 4 people from this team would be joining Morana's team.

Contestants weren't the only ones who had found Morana interesting; even the fake mermaid host couldn't help her interest in Morana and broke a second of silence with her shocking announcement.

"Peasants wait. Before the game starts your queen has an announcement." She said receiving eye-rolls from everywhere, this fake mermaid has been making lots of different announcements today so everyone didn't take this one seriously as well.

'She is probably going to say something narcissistic again.'  Were everyone's thoughts.

"I have decided that you Rana will be my husband." She said while looking at Morana with a proud and smug smile.
