Chapter 213 212. A Play (2).
A few moments ago.
A handsome white haired man, who stood atop the colosseum\'s most prominent corner and glared down at the Sector Five which was in ruins.
[R-right, why do I need... royal blood? Tsk, I had something in mind, arghhh!! Now I forgot about my plan, aaarrrghhh!!] I grumbled because the plan I had in mind was suddenly ruined as soon as I realised what I was about to do wasn\'t worth the effort.
"I could simply go do what I had to do." I muttered after cutting off the telepathic link with Samantha. I had planned on using White Swan\'s influence so that it won\'t be too suspicious, but I suddenly realized that I don\'t care if my actions raised other new problems, it seemed like I became to engrossed into the manipulative role-play that I forgot that I wasn\'t one to care about such insignificant things, since I had killed those who I didn\'t like, because of what they did, of course, I\'m not that unreasonable to kill of everybody I don\'t like..... maybe I am?
"Guh.... I didn\'t even know, how I am! Wait!!"
"Is that even the right question?" I asked myself, and the chibi with the moustache appeared in my head, pondering with glasses on.
"Meh...let\'s ignore the insignificant things." I shrugged and took a step forward, walked off of the colosseum\'s edge, and enjoyed a small freefall before landing on my feet.
BOOM
A loud \'boom\' resounded throughout the colosseum and the area around me. Using the smoke cloud as a cover, I kicked off the ground and launched myself into the air.
BOOM
WHOOOSH
After arriving right below the clouds, I used "snowflakes" and stood on them; though snowflakes weren\'t necessarily needed, I just did it to get that feel.
WHOOSH
A soft breeze of fresh air enveloped my entire body; I quite liked that feeling. I gazed at the beautiful scenery of the sun setting among the clouds, and that made me smile brightly.
"Would he have started to investigate about it by now?" I wondered with a smile on my face. I glanced to my right, and a chessboard materialised out of nowhere. Black had only a king and a queen, while White had a king, a queen, two knights, and a horse. With the exception of one knight, every white pawn had two "pawns" in front of them, seemingly guarding them, but the king was in front of the two pawns that were supposed to guard him, while Black\'s queen had all five of them lined up.
(AN: A not so good, rough sketch of the pawn placements in paragraph comments. It is just a scribble.)
"Heh." I chuckled, waved my hand at it and watched the chessboard dematerialise.
RUMBLE
"Hm?" I looked at the sound over my shoulder and saw a thunderbolt strike at a still-standing building. I stared at it for a brief moment and grinned widely.
I raised my left hand, pointing at the pouring rain; the rain crystallised and turned needle-like, and as soon as everything, as far as my vision reached, crystallized, I lowered my left hand, increasing the speed at which the needle-like crystallised rain droplets dropped.
A thick white cloud was shot up as the needles poured down, enlarging the cloud, which was pouring out rain. Soon after, I ignored it as if it weren\'t any of my business and rushed towards the location I had previously set.

In sector three.
Soon, I arrived in front of a massive guild building that had been purchased through the system; it seemed like it was of the highest quality since the guild building seemed quite flashy compared to the other smaller guild buildings around the area.
I felt the mana cruising through the building quite pure, and when I matched its wavelength, I was able to follow it. I was slightly surprised to find everything a player would require built inside of the guild building; there were training rooms, mana training rooms, offices, rooms, a canteen, a greenhouse, and many gates, one of which led them directly to the spawning grounds.
"It\'s of a highest quality guild building for a reason, I guess." I muttered while staring down at the guild building of the \'Marble Shield Guild.\'
\'It was a guild which was previously ranked 4th..... guild master \'Ronald Glover\' did quite a good job....\'
"It\'s a pity though." I grinned widely and zoomed towards the top most floor, where I felt two strong energies, which were quite likely to be those of the guild master, Ronald Glover, and the vice guild master, Avery Glover. Yes, they are indeed.... a couple.
I was able to pass through the guild building\'s highest-graded security system very easily, because the guild building doesn\'t perceive \'world energy\' as a threat since it cruises, like literally, everywhere. And I, who have the "world energy" under my control, won\'t be a threat for anything.
\'Of course, I\'m not a threat because \'I am a very fragile and naive child,\' I am too scared to do anything any harm.\'
\'How should I do this....\' I glanced at a mini volumetric flask filled with black coloured liquid. It was poison, a very dangerous one at that; it only needs one drop to kill any being that has a certain amount of mana, for example, a rank-A player. So now the question is, what would happen if anybody took a whole flask of it? Since nobody is insane enough to test things like that, we\'re going to do it a bit forcefully.
\'Alter.\' I muttered in my mind, and my white mask turned visible. I altered my voice and made my presence known slowly, since it would be too shocking if somebody suddenly appeared in front of the guild master\'s door.
KNOCK, KNOCK
"Excuse me, I am \'Gang Jiwoo,\' can I enter the room? I have something important to talk about Katharine." I said in Jiwoo\'s voice.
"....Enter." A hoarse voice sounded behind the door.
CLUNK
"Excuse me." I said and walked into the room.
"!!" The guild master, Ronald Glover, and the vice guild master, Avery Glover, shuddered as soon as they saw my white mask. Ronald Glover seemed like a man in his fifties; he had dark brown hair and eyes, a rough-looking face, and a bulky build, while Avery Glover seemed to be a woman in her mid-thirties; she had long blonde hair and bright green eyes, soft facial features, and looked beautiful. Looking at Avery Glover, I understood where Katharine got her beauty from.
"Shhhh...." I placed my index finger on my masked mouth and hushed in an extremely low voice while using mana to shut them up.
\'Heh.\' I laughed inwardly and my eyes arched; it seemed like they knew I was grinning as they flinched visibly. I used mana to completely shut off any body moments so that they wouldn\'t try anything funny.
"I\'m extremely sorry."
