"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Four!"
"Five!"
"Well, the count is over! The first round of the crown game begins!"
Buzzzz! Buzzzz!
Two teams press the button which means they participate on the first round. Two teams began to slowly converge to meet each other. As if they had same thoughts, there was no one made a run for the crown at the start.
Robert could see two teams, one team is Anaak while other just bunch or regulars, he knew those regulars don't stand a chance against Anaak and He was Right.
Anaak defeat all those regulars swiftly without talking, took the crown and sit on the throne, although shibisu complain that he should sit on the throne instead of Anaak but she just ignore him and wear the crown.
"That Lizard girl is strong." Ho could see Anaak is a strong regular that can't be underestimated especially when she just defeat all those three regulars alone.
'That, I agree.' Of course Anaak is strong because Jahad's blood is running through her veins but he knew the real history behind Anaak's origin.
"Because Ms. Anaak sat down on the throne with the crown, the first round is over! The winner of the first round is team of Anaak, Shibisu, and Hatz!" Announced Lero ro.
"The second round of the crown game will begin shortly! I will star counting... now." Lero ro announced. "Teams that want to join should press the red buzzer before the count is over!"
"One!"
"We should wait for another round." Robert still feel to early to go out.
"Two!"
"I have no complaints!" Ho also didn't want to go out because of that monstrous Lizard girl.
"Three!"
"What about you Laure?" Robert look at Laure who is still sleeping and didn't answer him.
"Four!"
Robert look at Ho and shrugged. "He said yes." Ho only smile at him and look at again at the crown game.
"Five!"
"The second round starts now!"
Buzzzz!
The second round only one team participate, it should be two teams participate, Laure's team and another team but Robert is already in Laure's team as they should hold off rather than participate.
Anaak's team fighting the other team without any, Hatz fights two people each holding a sword while Shibisu fighting the big man with his hands on fire. As expected both of them easily taken them down but suddenly Robert see Anaak's Green April is twitching.
'So it is time for Anaak to move.' Anaak notice her sword move and grab it, her eyes widened as she jump and stood on top of the throne, she look at Baam's cage with sharp look. "Black March."
"We did it Anaak!" Shibisu called Anaak as they finally repelled the other team. "Anaak?" Shibisu confused as Anaak didn't look at him and look elsewhere.
She suddenly get off the throne and smash Baam's cage. "You, where did you get that needle?" Anaak asked, shocked, ready to launch another attack.
"W-why are you asking?" Baam nervously inquired, confused about why he was being attacked when he hadn't done anything wrong.
"You shouldn't have that. You see, the weapon I'm holding is Green April, one of the 13 Month Series. I am a Princess of Jahad, and only a Princess can possess a weapon from the 13 Month Series. That weapon you have is 'Black March'. Give it to me," Anaak demanded, still keeping the Green April poised above her head, prepared to strike.
"I can't. I can't give you the Black March. Ms. Yuri let me borrow this weapon, so I should return it to her in person," Baam firmly replied, mustering newfound courage.
"Oyyyy! Anaak! What are you doing?!" Shibisu shouted with anger.
Anaak's teammates came and had a little quarrel with her. Because of her, they lost the bonus game.
"Stupid? It is one of master Ashul Edwaru's 13 Month Series weapon. And you call the Black March stupid weapon?" Anaak explained to her friend.
"The Black March?! Why is it in his hands. And how did you know that?"
He couldn't believe Black March appeared on this floor. Even more to a boy's hand.
"Because... I am a daughter of Jahad."
"WHAAAT?!" Shibisu is shocked like the others, they didn't expect Anaak to be princess of jahad.
Anaak told Baam to give her the black march but he still refuse, he didn't leave her any choice as she was going to attack her with green april but Lero ro suddenly behind Anaak and quickly stop her.
Lero ro said that Anaak's team is disqualified because she broke the rule, Anaak began to make a bet with Baam. If Baam win the crown game she will give him Green April but If he loses Black march will be hers.
Baam is hesitant because he promised to yuri to kept black march safe until they met again, Khun convinced Baam that he should agreed with Anaak's bet and Rak also agree with Khun, both are confident of winning the next crown game.
And so the deal is made and whoever wins gain two of 13 month weapons.
Robert didn't care of those weapons as he only wants to join the fight on the last round. 'So Anaak finally make a bet with Baam.'
"The second round of the crown game will begin!" Lero ro announced.
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
"Four!"
"Five!"

They open their eyes shocked looking at khun who instantly standing in front of the throne grabbing the crown. He put the crown in his bad and took a knife, he mock them to take the crown from him.
All the regulars became angry at him as they rush to him. "Here take the crown If you want it." Khun took the crown out and toss it to them, Khun begin to sit on the throne and watch them fight like some sort of entertainment.
All the regulars begin to fight each other for the crown, Khun laugh gaining their attention. "Hahaha, All of you really are stupid." Khun is holding the same crown they are fighting over.
"Tw-Two crown!"
All of them are shocked as he hand over the crown to Baam, Khun open his bag upside down emitting many crowns surprising many regulars.
All the crowns began turn into dust because all of them are just duplicates.
"So you've been lied to us!"
"You gotta to be kidding!"
"You are unforgivable!"
Each of them are angry at Khun because he has playing with them from the start. "You guys know what to do! We are going to finish that blue haired boy first!"
"YES!!"
All of them begin to charge at Khun but Rak appaeared in front of Khun and Baam blocking their attacks with his spear. "Don't touch my prey!" Rak begin to throw them away. He launch his spear to them creating a strong shockwave making them fly and knocking them out.
Rak spear stuck on the wall across all the regulars that are knocked out. Khun put thr crown on Baam's head signaling them as the winner. "The Third round is over! The winner of the third round is team of Khun, Baam, and Rak!"
"Their team is quite good." Ho commented after see Baam's team capabilities.
"I agree!" Robert looking at his team. "Let's wait a little longer until the final round then we came out."
Ho didn't have any complains while Laure is still sleeping, Robert look at Baam's team as they are ready for the fourth round but he knew they didn't need to fight.
"The Fourth round of the crown game will begin. Press the red Buzzer to participate before the count down is over!"

Other regulars are shocked one of the regular team is attacking the other team, a regular from the team he attacked was questioning why he attack her own team but suddenly got attacked by the attacker's team.
The first team quickly defeated the other regular team and the last one is the red haired and brown skinned man. "Hey, what is the meaning of this?"
The other team didn't asnwer them as the last regular team begin to attack them. Turns out the first regular team is Khun's allies he gathered from the first test of the second floor. He make a deal with them that he will help them passed the test If they help him.
The first regular team defeated the last team, Khun's allies are going back to their cage as they already finish them off.

"Alright, let's participate in this round." Robert grip his Zantetsuken.
"Two!"
"Yes, Let's win this crown game." Ho smile at him.
"Three!"
"Hey, Laure wake up, we are going in." Robert tell Laure who is waking up because of him.
"Four!"
"Yawn, yeah I know." Laure rub his eyes and Robert press the red buzzer.
"Five!
Buzzz! Buzzz! Buzzz! Buzzz! Buzzz!
Five teams came out from their cage in the last round.
Wow, it's crowded." said Khun.
'Because it's the last round, five teams still came out. And here is the team from the other test spot. They must be the most dangerous ones.' Khun thought as he looked at a team of three people wearing cloaks. 'They are from the other site of the test.'
Meanwhile, from the start Robert's eyes honed in on Rak and Hwa Ryun. He knew that this round would be the most chaotic. 'That masked woman with a staff should be Hwa Ryun, the FUG's guide!'
"Ho, Laure, we need to take the others out first before we get the crown." Robert pointed his sword at the throne.
"Yes." Ho said and Laure just sleeping behind them.
Right when the round started, the woman with a staff immediately rushed out to attack a nearby team.
The first, second and third Regular received a heavy staff strike on their heads as the woman agilely and quickly moved around them, taking the entire team out within moments.
After taking out the first team, the staff wielder didn't stop.
She leaped into the middle of another team and quickly wiped them out as well, Robert knew she simply wanted to eliminate all the extras that could be a hindrance.
The end of the masked woman's staff dripping with blood as she looked toward the throne. She then gripped her staff and silently broke into a sprint, beginning to rush toward the throne.
"Gator!" Khun called out and rushed out.
"Got it!" Rak gripped his spear as he remained near the throne, assuming the role of a defender.
"Let's go, Ho!" Robert quickly go to another regulars team with inhuman speed. Ho also quickly going to charge whila Laure still asleep.
"Everyone look out." A regular look at Robert who quickly ran to them with high speed, he couldn't react as Robert quickly decapitated him.
"W-What the–" Another regular on the same team as Robert killed also got decapitated and another one is cut in half with his Zantetsuken.
"What!!" Khun is surprised that another team is killing other regulars like that staff girl instead working together stealung the throne.
"Come on, You golden turtle, face me!" Rak see Robert as a strong opponent, so he challenge him as he see him as his worthy prey.
Robert look at Rak and walk towards him. "Alright then, Let's see what you got." He will hold back as he didn't want this fight to end quickly.
