After the announcement of the end, all the players returned to the starting point.
King: "Well played, all of you. Everyone present here has moved on to the next stage. Now, before you leave, hand over your weapons before your leave."
A moment of silence spread, but then they pointed their weapons at the king.
King: "Hmm? Do you want to play games?"
Random player: "Why should we listen to you? You're alone, and we're armed."
King: "Is that so?"
He jumped down from above to stand in front of them.
King: "Alright, go ahead and shoot."
Ayano was surprised that Kyle and Tadashi still had their weapons, but neither dared to point it at him.
Random player: "Don't mess with me, back off!"
The king kept walking toward him.
King: "I advise you to shoot, because if I reach you, I won't show mercy."
Random player: "I said back off! Don't mess with me!"
The king ignored his words and kept advancing.
Random player: "You bas—"
He fired at him, but... the king dodged it and lunged at him with force, landing a punch that sent him flying back into the wall with force, then he fell to the ground. Another player approached to check on him, but...
Another Player: "He's... not breathing."
A wave of fear and tension swept through the whole hall.
King: "Now, is there anyone else who wants to shoot me?"
No one dared to answer him at all.
King: "Good. Hand over your weapons and get ready to leave."
While everyone was handing over their weapons, Tadashi caught the king's attention by wearing a suit identical to his.
King: "Well well, what's this? Do you hate yourself so much that you've started copying someone better than you?"
Tadashi: "Nah."
Tadashi took off the coat and threw it on the ground.
Tadashi: "I felt disgusted with myself wearing it."
Tadashi walked away, deliberately stepping on the coat on his way toward the referees, who were already blindfolding participants to take them out.
From afar, the king stood watching him.
King: "You're still the same annoying little brat, huh?"
