What kind of situation is making him come to this extent?

At that moment, an uneasy premonition crossed Prodia’s mind.

‘…No way.’

However, at the moment, there was no way to confirm my speculation.

And a few days later,

the five men headed to the circular arena to hear the instructions for the next competition.

Participants officially gathering in one place was the first time since the treasure hunt in the hunting ground.

However, there weren’t as many participants left in the competition as expected.

At most, a few hundred people remained.

Moreover, the faces of some participants who survived in the hunting ground were nowhere to be seen.

The five men seemed to know the reason even without hearing it.

Those who had their scores deducted during the festival were eliminated from the competition.

Once again, the organizers informed everyone with the following announcement.

“We regret to inform you that some participants have been expelled from the competition due to unfortunate incidents during the festival.”

The atmosphere inside the arena became tumultuous in an instant.

The organizers continued to speak.

“We ask everyone to maintain their physical and mental well-being until the end of the competition.”

The four men listening to the explanation heaved a sigh of relief.

If it weren’t for Prodia, they could have been in big trouble.

Even Leke, who had heard about the events so far, admired her keen insight.

The organizer then went on to explain the next competition.

“It’s finally time to reveal the content of the trust you’ve received.”

Upon hearing this, the participants erupted in excitement.

It seemed that what the kindly god had blessed them with would finally be revealed.

Everyone held their breath and focused on the organizer’s words.

However, what followed was an explanation entirely different from their expectations.

“Ladies and gentlemen, you must sing a song praising the God of Trust in the next competition.”

“What!”

As soon as they heard the content of the trust, the participants fell into chaos once again.

To sing a song again.

Why is the god giving us such a trial?

There’s no reason for Buma to be good at singing!

But that wasn’t the end of it.
“At this, the royal family decided to compose and offer a new hymn to the God of Trust. And this blessed honor… we want to dedicate it to all of you.”

For a moment, silence flowed through the stadium.

The words sounded reasonable, but ultimately, it meant that the participants had to compose the song themselves.

After the dance, now they had to create a song. Isn’t this too much?

Complaints and sighs of discontent emerged from various places.

However, no one could directly protest.

Anyway, everything was said to be the will of the God.

The confusion was the same for the five men.

They already knew that the theme for this competition was a song.

However, among them, there was no one who was good at composing, even though there were many who excelled in dancing.

The organizer continued with the explanation.

“First, I will form teams. After forming teams with participants who match well, please gather here again. Each team will be limited to a maximum of ten members.”

Fortunately, this time, it seemed that people could choose the members they wanted for their teams.

Without much hesitation, the five men gathered together to form a team.

Of course, there were quite a few participants who wanted to join them.

Including the four who created the choreography during the opening ceremony, and Grandmaster Elhas, who performed an amazing dance.

With all of them gathering, it was natural that they attracted everyone’s attention.

However, Edgar skillfully turned them away.

“Oh, it’s such a shame, but the slots are already full.”

“Please, just take one more person!”

“I’m sorry, but that seems difficult. We’ve already divided all the roles among ourselves.”

Then they elected Sharack as the team leader.

Following the organizer’s explanation, Sharack, holding a list of team members’ names, ascended to the stage.

However, among the submitted lists, there was one team that caught Sharack’s eye.

‘That team has only one member…?’

Who could be the brave participant preparing a solo performance?

Curious, Sharack discreetly lowered his head to check the name written on the list.

“….!”

The moment he saw that name, a forgotten memory resurfaced in Sharack’s mind.

Certainly, Edgar had said something like that.

During the festival, he witnessed that participant kissing a woman.

But despite that, Kakia had managed to survive without getting caught.

After a moment, Sharack, who had come down from the stage, conveyed this surprising news to everyone.

Upon hearing that a participant was preparing a solo performance, everyone was quite astonished.

Preparing a solo performance alone wouldn’t be easy, but it seemed like she was quite confident.

However, the fact that the participant turned out to be Kakia Roo surprised everyone.

But Edgar saw it as fortunate.
