quaila

When Luca heard Palmer's response, his facial expression went cold. His plan for public justice had been cut in half by his father who never sees things the way he does.

The crowd also heard this and most of them felt the same way as Luca but just like Luca, they dared not refute.

"Yes My Lord!", Luca replied. Before he could say a word, the Quailian guards present had picked up Kanon and his son.

Luca who had opened his mouth and was about to order for the guards to take them away, felt slightly embarrassed. He had almost completely forgotten that he wasn't half as powerful as the ruler of Quaila.

He looked at Misha with a straight face and then turned to Mira who had been looking at him the whole time, and then shook his head and left.

"Would you like to continue?", Palmer looked at Misha as he bent down to pickup the amplifier.

Misha looked at his daughter then at Lord Palmer and for a moment he couldn't say a word. But how can he refuse even if he wanted to.

So he collected the amplifier from Lord Palmer.

"Let's go dear!", Palmer said stretching his hand to Mira.

How dare she ignore his hand. She held on and was gently pulled out of the ring by Lord Palmer.

It took Misha a while to get his mojo back, but he continued talking.

"First in the ring, we have: the ruler of Helilia!", He added as the crowd began to cheer but not aloud, they too were still trying to recover.

"Sir Gandolf Belimoth!", Misha added and the old Gandolf came into the ring from one of the ring doors.

The crowd who barely saw Gandolf at the last Apical meeting were surprised to see the man looking so old.

They muttered one to another.

"Isn't that Gandolf? Son of Merlin? Why is he looking so old?"

"Isn't he a healer, don't they have a youth potion or something?"

"Doesn't he have access to his father's fountain?"

They asked themselves.

Misha saw Gandolf and was also surprised, cause they were almost the same age, so how then does this healer look older than himself?

He quickly gained back himself and began to speak: "what happened old friend? Why looking so....."

Misha spoke and was interupted by the old looking Gandolf who collected the amplifier from his hand.

"Let's not waste time with this? Where are my opponents?", He asked in a taunt full manner.

And the crowd was shocked to hear this.

Who does he want to compete with, looking like this?

Misha stretched his hands back to take back the amplifier.

As soon as he was given back, he said: "where are the other healers who made it to the Apical battle."

And some persons came out from one of the ring's doors looking young and vibrant. There were only 2 old persons among the 5 who apparently passed the tests.

But they all looked very confident. None looked scared of the old Gandolf.

"Bring it on?"

"What's the competition?"

"Hurry up with this, my throne await!"

The young ones said as they warmed up their bodies.

"Hello old friend!", One of the old men said.

Misha recognized him, he and Gandolf were also in the ring the last time.

The other, was a witch like old woman, she said nothing as she stared at Gandolf with kin eyes as though she saw something in him no one else was seeing.

Seeing their attitudes, Gandolf smiled and turned to Misha.

"Alright guys, let's see what you've got!", Misha said as he took some steps backwards.

The healers are not fighters, they heal and so were given the ring to do what ever they could to impress people with their abilities.

The first stepped forward and said: "bring forth 5 very sick persons!"

As soon as he spoke 5 very very sick persons were brought forward.

All were so sick they couldn't work.

This was another opportunity to make money for the Quailian finance. Knowing fully well that those who passed the test must have a great amount of healing strength. People pay to participate in this healing.

When the young man saw this, he smiled and stretched forth his hand towards them.

As soon as he did this the old Gandolf began to laugh.

The old woman also began to chuckle.

All in the ring couldn't understand why these persons were laughing.

The young man felt mocked by their laughter and spoke arrogantly: "you old things laugh all you want, that throne is mine!"

After a minute of dispensing his energy, and none of their states changed, his heart began to drum.

What's going on?

Did that man lie to me?

If he did how was I able to past the tests?

The confused young man asked himself as he recalled buying healing enhancing pills from a very powerful healer in Helilia.

"That's enough!", Misha said as he tapped the young man.

"Leave me alone!", The arrogant young man spoke out and the surprise Misha subconsciously took some steps back.

The Quailian guards quickly saw this and intervened.

"The old man lied to me!!! He sold fake!!! The pills were fake!!", The young man screamed as he was pulled away.

As soon as they heard this, the faces of those in the ring had a dramatic change.

Especially one of the young man and the old man.
