...
In a dark room where light goes in, lied a figured bounded by numerous chain of ice attached to the surrounding wall. The one who was bounded look ragged and covered with wounded. Those marks were the result of her trying to move. The chains was made with mechanism so complicated and firm that it wouldn’t give the prisoner the freedom to move an inch. And if she tried to move, the chained tightened and absorbed mana away.
There are marks of those chains threatened to take her life many times. However, you can tell that there are old marks and new marks on her body as if she tried to escape in regular interval despite knowing the threat. And you can tell by the radiance in her eyes that she haven’t lost the will to fight yet.
She would take chance trying to escape this place, this country that are full of filth. Located in the place protected by the surrounding mountain in the continent’s heart, this is the safe zone from monster and blizzard storm.
Many countries and cities fought together for the land and resource in this safe zone, and finally one country which is best in ice magic won the war and united every countries in it. And thus Kingdom Crystalium was born in this place, and it has been prosperous for over thousands of year.
The heart of the Crystalium, capital Didyris is home to the victor country that govern the whole kingdom. It is also home to a certain royal blood line that is respected and feared. Harbored pure ice mana that is darker in color and stronger than normal ice magic, they are the race that united this kingdom together.
Beyond the mountain, there’s danger beast and monster lurking everywhere. However, there’re also another race that live at the top of food chain. Beast race ice wolf are proud warriors and they enjoy fighting strong prey. Of course they aren’t violent and attack anyone on sight.
However, Crystalium wages war with them. Many years after, the war was still going on. Ice Wolf clan scattered in the wilderness in order to survive from the kingdom. And ice wolf princess was caught during the war, and she is being chained in a dark chamber which there’s no light coming in and out.
?!
Her cyanic wolf ear twitched as she heard sound of door opened, and her hair stood as the wind blew in.
“Fresh~”
One word escaped from her mouth as she breathe in the air as if she had never breathed in such air in a long time. And then her ears twitched again hearing numerous light footsteps. She slightly frowned as she smelled something unpleasant. In fact, it was the fragrance of perfume she knew well.
“Stink!”
“Ara. That’s quite harsh for the first greeting since we haven’t met for such a long time.”
And then a woman with splendid dress in her 20s came to her sight. Beautiful long blue hair with little silver color as touching end and soft blue eyes, she smiled warmly as she talked to the prisoner. There’s a crown on her head indicated that she was the Queen, but she looked young despite that. Her radiance and charm would have captivated men or women in a single glances, but the prisoner expression remained unchanged.
“I kind of missed you, you know?”
And the Queen sat down close to the prisoner to have the same eyes line. And slowly, she held the prisoner face with bewitching face and behavior. Drawing herself close to the prisoner ears, she whispered with a grin.
*CLANG*
Loud sound of metal vibrated as the prisoner abruptly charged toward the Queen. Of course, the Queen jumped back in time. And the ice chains attach to the prisoner’s neck started to work pulling her back. Coughing in blood, her face retorted in anger showing her fang and sharp glare.
“Ahahahahahaha!! Ahahahahaha! That’s scarrryy~. Oh~ I can’t get enough with this face expression of yours~ Ahahahaha.”
As if the warming and pleasant smile before was just a farce, she right now laughed like a maniac revealing her true color.
“Such pain and hatred~ I love it. I really love it. I knew that you are the best. Ahahahahaha!”
“I’ll kill you!”
Pale blue light was emitted as she gritted her fang. However, immediately after, she trembled and she looked as if she was suffocated. The chains drained the mana all immediately in prevention. Falling to the ground, she endured the pain of the chained tightening and mana exhaustion.
*Huff* *Huff*
“This is it?~ Come on, Resist more. Let’s me see more of your expression~, your pained expression of course is the best after all.”
“I’ll kill you. Damn hag!”
Still holding on by her will, she said while glaring to the ecstasy Queen.
“Ahahaha~ that’s the eyes I love. I feel like I’m being pierced~ it’s sad if you broke after all. So hold on, ok?”
“I won’t forgive you. I won’t forgive your country. If you touch my brethren, I’ll kill you.”
“That’s harsh! I won’t touch your wolf race. I don’t have the intention of doing anything. OH I GOT A GOOD IDEA. What if, I’ll have you do it, instead? Ahahahaha”
With such sudden declared, the prisoner turned grim. She looked terrified at the Queen before her.
“Let’s see. I’ll brainwash you to make you a perfect weapon, and then I’ll make you kill your own brethren. After long years of waiting, you came before them and slaughter them all. Wouldn’t that be a perfect reunion? Ahahahaha~!”
Awakened from her grim face, she glared at the Queen once again and stood up with all her might. She screamed from the pain of those chains, but she didn’t stop walking forward to the Queen.
“S-Stop it. What do you think you’re doing??”
The Queen trembled and stepped back. And the wolf girl still kept going with her bloodshot eyes. The Queen stepped away until the wall, and then the wolf girl struck her claw.
“DIE!!!”
“Hiiiiiiii!!”
And then silence filled the dark chamber.
*Shackle* *Rattling*
Suddenly the chain pulled the wolf girl back fast hitting her to the wall.
*Giggle*
“Ahahahahahah!!!! How does it feel to have your hope crashed?? Was my performance good?? Ahahahha~ I put effort in it, you know? To see your face when your hope is crashed. It was worth it!”
*Cough*
The wolf girl glared at the Queen with bloodshot eyes.
“Wow~ your killing intent is really great. I might shudder in fear. Do you really want to kill me? Then I’ll let you kill. I’ll let you filled your claw and fang with your brethren blood. Ahahhaha~”
The Queen clapped her hand, and several people came inside the room. Each has crystal clear ice staff. They surrounded the wolf girl and then they slammed the staff on the floor. And then, magic circled appeared on the ground glowing in pale blue light. The wolf girl started screaming and holding her head as the light seeped into her.
“Ahhahaah~ how does it feel to have your mind invaded? How does it feel to your memory eaten away? Ahahahah~”
The Queen laughed at the wolf girl. Despite the pain, the wolf girl resist by releasing her mana.
“Wow! Great Mana regeneration! I thought the chain drain it all! But resisting is futile, you know. This is God magic I got from my lord. Low life existence like you bow before it!”
And then she took the clear staff from one of the guards. She slammed the ground releasing much deeper dark blue energy enveloping the whole magic circle. The wolf girl couldn’t endure the pressure and screamed in pain again. The deep blue mana was pure ancient ice mana that only special existence can harbored it.
“Forget it all, but remember the wrath! Kill everything you see!! Devour everything you see!!”
The Queen said while pouring in more the dark blue mana. The magic circle adapted the new mana and changed its shape. Smaller magic circle appeared in a arranged formation, and then the core of the magic circle formed into a new magic circle.
The Queen looked at the suffering wolf girl and her smile curved into an evil one. The magic circle was still going strong, and the wolf girl stopped screaming. Her eyes lost color, and she just stared at the ceiling as if she lost her soul. It was the first phase of the spell – To forget it all.
The light from the magic circle flickered and then it changed shape again. The wolf girl screamed again holding her head. She suddenly dashed toward one of the guard, but the chain kept her still. However, violently, she dashed left right trying to kill everyone in the room. Her face retorted in anger and the sharp eyes glared as if they could kill. This is the second phase of the spell – to remember the wrath and kill everything in sight.
“Wow, so energetic~ do you wish to kill that much? Well then, why don’t we finish it now, and so you get to kill~?”
The Queen held her hand toward the wolf girl and then a round crystal blue collar appearing hovering in the air. There’s ancient rune carved onto it, and they are glowing in dark blue light.
Twitched by instinct, the wolf girl jumped at the Queen, but only to let the chain pulled back slamming her to the ground.
*chuckle*
“Careful~ this might sting a bit.”
She released her hand, and then the collar disappeared as if it was dissolved in air. The wolf girl screamed again as there’s rune like symbol appearing around her neck as if they were being carved on her skin.
“Just a precaution you know, I wouldn’t want to be bitten by a mad dog. And now! The preparation shall comple-”
*Shatter*
??!!
Queen and everyone in the room startled as there was a disturbance in magic circle. They looked at the source and then they noticed that there was disconnection in their massive magic circle. Pulsing in pale and bright light blue color, what appeared was tiny-
“Magic circle?”
*Shatter**Shatter* *Shatter* *Shatter* *Shatter* *Shatter*….
Suddenly, those tiny magic circle kept popping out shattering their magic circle.
“What’s going on-”
“The magic circle-”
Confusion appeared on their face as they looked at the bizarre sight.
“Men! Stabilize the magic circle!!”
The Queen shouted and slammed her staff pouring in her dark blue energy. Even if they were startled, they didn’t forget to reinforce the magic circle to keep it going on.
They tried hard to keep the magic circle, and delete those tiny magic circle, but those tiny circle kept appearing everywhere. The Queen was panic because the magic collar on the wolf girl haven’t finish engraving yet. If there’s something were to happen to their magic circle, the engraving might fail.
On one point, those tiny circled stopped appearing. The Queen took this chance and put all her energy inside the magic circle. However, those tiny magic circle flickered intensely and then they widened instantly. About 50 or so, they envelop the old magic circle and destroyed them immediately. The Queen and those guards got backlash from the magic and were thrown to the wall.
The 50 tiny magic circle widened themselves and formed into complex multilayer magic circle.
“Such magic-”
The Queen escaped some awe as she looked at the magic circle. And then the surge of light enveloped the whole room. The light was so strong that everyone has to turn away or cover their eyes.
Few moment later, the light was gone. Everyone opened their eyes and then they look around the room. As if previously thing never happened before, the room look just like before. However, the wolf girl wasn’t there.
The chain extracted to the wall as there’s no prisoner in the room. The Queen was shocked and panic at the same time. She rushed to the middle of the room immediately. Checking the room, she knew that the wolf girl couldn’t have broken the chain forged by her beloved lord. The wolf girl couldn’t have vanished like that, could it related to that magic circle.
‘However, complex 16 diagrams magic like that, just who-’
The Queen frowned and lost in her thought. And then as she noticed the confusion of her guard.
“Find her!! Search all the parameter!! Close the city if you have to! I want her found!!”
“““Yes, my Queen!”””
She gave out a command and those guard bowed. The Queen threw away the staff she was holding and walked hastily to the door. The guard followed after, and they went in different path to inform the urgent information.
The Queen was troubled because the wolf girl disappeared and what worst is that she used two magic that was bestowed by her lord, yet she didn’t know the result and lost the subject. She has to report to her lord, but she didn’t know what to say. She was worried that she might disappointed him.
Lost in her thought, she rushed without noticing that people are getting scared of her.
“My Queen-”
She stopped and turned immediately. She almost shouted, but she held back when she noticed the one who called her. Long straight purple with a tint of silver hair hanging down to her hip, and a face not inferior to her own, the young girl who called the Queen dressed in armor and bowed with one knee to the ground in knight manner.
“My Queen, are you alright?”
“Yes, My dear Kasalin. I’m alright”
The Queen composed herself and answered her with the usual kind and warm Queen Mode.
“But, my Queen. You looks as if you are trouble by something”
“Waa~ How wonderful that you worried about me, dear. Now raise your head. Kasalin.”
“Yes, my Queen.”
Kasalin slowly rose up. She looked worriedly at the Queen. The Queen noticed her worried and smiled warmly at her.
“You need not worry about me, child. Did you not have important matter to tend to? As I remember, you will be going to Krislum for your training, right?”
“I’m honored that you remember.”
“How could I forget? You’re the youngest to become a knight ‘Blade Princess’ and the source of my pride.”
The Queen said while embracing Kasalin. Taken aback from the sudden behavior, Kasalin blushed and slightly embrace the Queen back.
“Yes, thank you. Mother.”
Kasalin said in a low and girly voice that she only speak to her mother.
“I’m going to miss you, child. May the spirit be with you.”
The Queen said and kissed Kasalin on her forehead showing motherly love.
“Thank you, My Queen. Then, I shall take my leave”
“Ah! Kasalin. I was informed that a wolf clan prisoner escaped from the jail. So please be careful, dear.”
“Thank you, My Queen.”
Kasalin went back to normal accent and greeted her Queen like any other knight. And then she parted with her queen and went to her party.
The Queen saw her off, and then hurriedly walked to the lord chamber. Her expression was stiff and twisted as she thought of what to tell to her lord.
*Phew*
Taking a deep breath, the Queen stood before the lord chamber’s door.
“Linia, Come in”
Before she could touch the door, stern and cold voice called out to her.
“Yes, my lord”
Queen Linia pushed the door and walked in her composed and usual manner. As she got in, the door slowly closed by themselves. Queen Linia advanced 3 steps forward, and then she bowed.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Within the dark room, she couldn’t sense the lord presence, but she knew that he’s here, and he is watching her.
“Do you have anything to tell me?”
Queen Linia swallowed her anxious and spoke.
“I’ve come to report about the wolf princess”
“Did she escape?”
“She couldn’t be far, my Lord. Breaking the mystic chain, and escape this castle is impossible-”
“FOOL! She is gone now! I can’t sense her anymore. She’s no longer in this place.”
Queen Linia trembled from the shout, but she tried to be composed.
“By this place, do you mean this castle?”
“NO, much, much, much far away. I can’t sense her at all. She’s no longer in this kingdom.”
“That would be impossible!”
“SILENCE! Since she is gone, I’ll have you explain to me what happen.”
Queen Linia spoke everything while trembling. She didn’t know what her lord is thinking, and she couldn’t tell his emotion at all.
“Strange magic circle appeared and delete my magic circle? ABSURD! What kind of magic that could delete my magic circle??!! Who do you think I am?”
“Don’t be angry, My Lord. Please spare me your wrath. However, I speak only the truth.”
There was silence in the room for a while after Queen Linia said.
“You’re forgiven. So, what’s about my slave bounded spell?”
“Yes, it was a success.”
“Did you really see it finished?”
“That- Please forgive me, my Lord. I didn’t verify it.”
“FOOL! The spell will become undone if you aren’t close to her! Once, the spell is undone, she will never be controlled again. And you had already made her into a weapon. What if it bare fang at you, what will become of you?”
“Please forgive me for my incompetent. I shall sent force to find her.”
“Your knights will not be a match for her. As I fear, that girl will bring collapse to this kingdom.”
“What should I do? Please help us, my Lord.”
“Fine, I’ll help this kingdom. That girl isn’t in this kingdom right now. I couldn’t sense her now. Bring her in, even if it’s the border line. Once I sensed her, she will die.”
“Thank you, my Lord”
“And as for the prize-”
Suddenly someone held Queen Linia’s chin up and looked her in the eyes. Upon seeing her Lord close, she blushed in red and smiled.
“My everything is yours. Arh~”
Queen Linia was thrown on the bed. The Lord came closer, and Queen Linia undone her clothes throwing them away. Rendered herself naked, she present herself to her Lord.
And next – you know the thing!
……
…
……
Kasalin is known as ‘Blade Princess’. A prodigy that was born into the royal blood line. She exceled in both swordsmanship and magic. And when she was born, she was immediately crowned as the next Queen because she was blessed by the Ice Spirit. To be exact, she was able to control pure ancient ice mana.
Just like her mother, Queen Linia was also able to control pure ancient ice mana. And before she turned 15, she became a knight in Didyris which was an unbelievable feat.
And along with the Knights graduated in the same year, they were tasked with final mission. They had to go around in the neighboring country to serve in a period of time and pass the trial to receive recognition from that country governor.
There are 12 neighboring countries in the kingdom. And 3 stars or recognition knight up are recruited into the army. 6 stars or above are recruited into the royal guard. 9 stars or above are considered elite among elite.
12 stars is what Kasalin desire. No matter how long or how hard, she wanted to acquire those 12 recognition symbols which no one has ever received it before she was crowned. And that was her simple dream.
“Kasalin-chan!”
“Kasalin-sama!”
While walking, Kasalin was called by two of her friends – Christ and Kelly. Christ treated her like a friend regardless of their position, and Kasalin was really happy for it. Kelly on the other hand treated her as princess, and only through many times of persuasion, that Kelly decided to call her ‘Kasalin-sama’ instead of ‘Hime-sama’.
Both of them are knights just like Kasalin, and they decided to go together gained recognition. In their group, there’re also male knights, but since Kasalin couldn’t see them. She decided to ask her friend.
“Where’s the other?”
“They are still preparing their stuff and spending their last time with their family. Since we’re going away for who know how many years.”
“Yes! Kasalin-sama, have you said good bye to the Queen?”
“I did. Thank you, Kelly.”
“No problem, I’m glad that I can help you. Kasalin-sama”
“That’s good for you, Kasalin. So anyway, since you come at the right time, why don’t we go shopping?”
“At this time? Aren’t we going to depart today?”
“Tonight! We’re going to depart tonight. So why don’t go shopping since we still have time left?”
“But –”
“Everything is fine, you’re going away for a long time, you know? Shouldn’t you be spending time making memory here? You might not see thing here in other place you know! So it is a must that we go shopping!”
“Aren’t you just want to shopping yourself?!! Kasalin-sama, you don’t have to listen to her.”
“What was that? Kelly-chan, that’s not cute at all. To think that you said such thing in that clothes.”
Christ pointed to Kelly whose clothes that are fitted for outdoor rather than knight armor that Kasalin wore.
“T-T-This is just my outdoor clothes for shop – no I mean, this is my usual clothes. You don’t understand!”
“If you’re eager to go shopping, just admit so. Kasalin won’t hate you for something like that.”
Kelly looked at Kasalin who is enjoying the conversation between the two.
“Ok, shopping it is then. I also want to look around one last time.”
“Ho~ Didn’t think you would accept this easily, but don’t say something like last time, you’re be back to this place, right?”
“Hmm! Then let’s go.”
“WAIT, WAIT! Kasalin, are you telling me you’re going to go with this?”
“What’s wrong with my armor?”
“You don’t get it at all. Kelly!”
“Yes! Since I thought that Kasalin-sama would like to go shopping as well, I have prepared this!”
“There we have, so take this and get change!”
Christ then took Kasalin to a place where she can changed easily. After few moment, they are done and Christ looked satisfy.
“Kelly – ”
“hmm?”
“Good Job”
They exchanged a thump up in front of Kasalin.
“You two! Did you set this up?”
They just smiled at her comment. She slightly smiled as her friend were being thoughtful. And then she checked the clothes she has on. Slightly dark red dress that end to her knee, and she also wore her normal uniform on top of it. She was lucky to have her favorite snow white sword attached to her belt since those two urged her to let it go. After done checking, she took her friends’ hand.
“Let’s go!”
“Hmm”
As they were going, Kasalin noticed several knight rushing in and out the palace. And then remembered what her mother had said, she was a little worried about the escaped prisoner because she knew that she isn’t strong enough to fight wolf clan member one on one yet.

“What’s wrong, Kasalin-sama?”
“Hmm! Hmm! It’s nothing. Let’s go.”
And then brushed off the bad feeling she has, she took her friends shopping. When they arrived at the market, there was a commotion going on. The girls were curious, and then they went to check. It seems that the merchant that only came once a year came before time. And so people flocked to buy his stuff.
“Excuse me, Can I ask you something?”
“Oh! You can ask me anything you one, young lady.”
“I thought that you would come 3 months more due to blizzard storm. So how could you came here this earlier?”
“It seems that young lady are also curious too, huh? Well I was also surprise myself. While traveling in Chystern, I was going to take detour because of the storm in Vortex Belly, but somehow there’s no storm this year, I cross the Vortex Belly.”
“That’s impossible! That storm happened every year in Vortex Belly this time of year.”
“That’s what I saw! There’s storm the day I got in the Chystern, but the next day. It was as calm as still water. If you don’t believe me, you can try asking the slave merchant. He also cross the Vortex Belly with me.”
Kasalin frowned thinking about it for a second, and then she thanked him for the news. Christ and Kelly are happily buying things they love. They kept saying that it was their lucky time since they thought they would have to but those things in other city. Kasalin was happily watching at first, but then she dragged them as she wanted to know the truth behind the disappearance of storm.
Strolling around market asking left and right. She came to know that the slave merchant is holding an underground arena using slave to fight.
“Don’t tell me, you’re going in there?”
“Of course, I want to know why the storm disappear.”
“Christ-san, somehow I have a bad feeling that our route will change.”
“Kelly-chan, it already has.”
Christ talked to Kelly with given up eyes. They knew that Kasalin is rather stubborn when she is fixed on one thing. Walking into the slave merchant’s place, the guards in front of the place greeted her.
She told them that she wanted to meet with the slave merchant. And then they leaded Kasalin and her friend to a waiting room. They were served teas while waiting, and Kelly kept holding on to Christ’s arm as she was really tense. She was scolded by Christ that she should behave more like a knight. After their chit-chatting, the merchant came after few minutes.
“Greeting, dear customers and Princess Kasalin. Congratulation of your graduation. My name is Silvy. What can I do for you today?”
“Silvy-san. I want to ask you something. I heard that you cross Vortex Belly, is that right?”
“Yes, of course. This is how I got to this city so earlier this year. There was no storm this year which is really strange.”
“I thought as well. So did you notice anything wrong in that area?”
“Oh, I can’t say much since I only cross the borderline of that area. I was afraid that if I went too close, the storm might occur and I would suffer great lost.”
“So I see, are you sure that there’s no storm this year?”
“Yes, I am sure. I can bet my business’s name on it.”
“Hmm. Ok, I trust you. Thank you for the information. That’s all I want to ask”
“Yay! We get to go back, right? Christ-san”
Kelly didn’t catch up with the conversation, but she was excited when the conversation seem to come to an end.
“Then I want to see the underground arena. Can you take me there?”
The moment Kasalin said that, the whole place froze.
“Kasalin!! What are you talking about?!!”
“Kasalin-sama. It’s too dangerous.”
“It’s ok. I only just going to watch the fight.”
“It’s a bad sign!! Every time I heard you said that, you always got in the fight.”
“It’s ok. If you’re worried, you can go first.”
“NO! After you said that, do you think we let you go alone? Someone has to look after you after all.”
“You guy, thank you. So slave merchant, what do you say?”
They waited for the slave merchant’s answer, but then he laughed. To everyone surprise, he just laughed.
“They say that princess Kasalin is an eccentric person. So they are right. Since you have already heard about it. I won’t deny it. Well then, if you please. This way.”
And then the slave merchant took them to a room. There was a secret stair leading down in that room. When the slave merchant opened it, they were really surprise.
Going down, they started to hear loud cheering and shouting.
“We’re here.”
The slave merchant said while showing the girls the arena. There’re a lot of people surrounded a round space that seems to be the arena.
“This way.”
Later on, they were taken to VIP room. Having full view of the arena without any obstruction, they were also served with the best drinks. Kasalin was absorbed in the fight as two warrior fought each other.
“Hmm, interesting. So are there any strong warrior that I can fight?”
“HOLD YOUR HORSE! Kasalin, you said that you wouldn’t fight.”
“I meant that I wouldn’t jump in other fight, but it’s ok if it is my own fight.”
“HEEEE!!! This is bad. Kasalin-sama! Don’t say something like that.”
“Hohohoho~ I’m sorry, but none of slave are strong enough to fight you.”
“That’s sad. I thought I am going to make my last memory here.”
“NO, NO, NO! Choose different place!”
“Christ-san’s right. Kasalin-sama, please choose other place!”
“Hohohoho~ however, I do have someone you might be interest in.”
“HO~ So who is he?”
“Have you seen any race with pure dark hair and eyes?”
“Dark hair and eyes? You must be lying.”
“Well, you have to see that yourself. I found him half dead in the ice plain. So I brought him.”
“Ice plain, heh? What a good way to put. You say that you cross Vortex Belly, right? So, is he your slave?”
“Princess Kasalin is really bright. However, sadly, he’s not my slave.”
“Such an important and rare race like that, you found him and yet you didn’t make him your slave?”
“Well, there’s circumstance for it, you see. The salve crest and mark didn’t work on it. They dissolved before they even touch him.”
Hearing that Princess Kasalin opened her eyes wide. Even her, if slave crest were forcefully be put on her, she wouldn’t be able to resist. And so this mysterious dark hair and eyes race was able to dissolve the slave crest? She was exciting and she really wanted to meet him.
“Oh, speaking of devil. He has entered the ring. Princess Kasalin, please observe carefully.”
As the merchant said, the girls looked the ring at the same time. There entered a small build boy with a hood. As he entered the center of the arena, he took out his hood and raise his hand up. There really stood a man with dark hair and eyes. He also wear glasses.
“I’m called Wiki-kun. Beat me and I’ll give you ten thousand golds.”
With that declaration, people roared and cheered. Some people sneered and scolded him. However, Kasalin looked at him with awe as if she saw something new. Her instinct told her to get him. Those dark hair and eyes are real. They aren’t bleached, and his tone and attitude. Kasalin knew that he’s strong.
without waiting for anyone to do anything. She took her sword jumping though the crowd and reached the arena.
"KASALIN-SAMA?!!"
"Wiki-kun. I'll accept your challenge. I'll have you fight me!"
"Challenge Accept!"
