Yumi returned to center stage with a renewed smile as the contestants wrapped up their short break. "Alright everyone, hope you're refreshed, because it's ti to continue the ZAGE Quiz Challenge!"
The digital board behind her lit up once more.
"Question six," Yumi announced. "Who is one of the wolf bosses in Karate Bunny known for having a Rocky Hide made of stone?"
Ayumi's eyes sparkled. This was her mont. Karate Bunny was her creation—a project she had poured her heart into. While the others remained unaware that she was the actual creator of Karate Bunny, Ayumi maintained her composure and calmly wrote down: Eoka.
anwhile, Yoko's eyes lit up too. A devoted fan of the Karate Bunny franchise, she loved every part of its world and characters. She was also a huge admirer of U-Bunny's gas, completely unaware that the mysterious U-Bunny was actually Ayumi herself.
Takayuki frowned. He hesitated, debating between two nas: Eoka or Eroka. 'Damn... I slightly forgot about this one. Better not risk it,' he thought with a sigh. ultimately decided not to answer.
Yumi smiled. "And the answer is... Eoka!"
Only two people had answered correctly—Ayumi and Yoko.
"Whoa! A tricky one! And it looks like Yoko pulls 10 points ahead of Takayuki now, with Ayumi catching up too! Let's roll into question seven!"
"In Z-Man, what is the na of the mythical beast that grants Daigo his power and transforms into his cha avatar?"
Yoko furrowed her brow. The na was so long, and she only vaguely rembered it. 'Ugh, it was sothing... sothing with "Dai"... the na is too long damn!'
Takayuki, however, didn't hesitate. Z-Man was his favorite series, and Daigo the Z-Green was his all-ti favorite Sentai. He knew Daigo's backstory like the back of his hand, every transformation sequence, every quote, every mont. With total confidence, he wrote: Chō Kidenjū Daimugen..
Sakaki, unexpectedly, also scribbled down the sa answer, having morized the na from the ga Sakaki Is big fan of Z-man too.
Yumi smiled then announced, "Correct answer: Chō Kidenjū Daimugen! Impressive—only Takayuki and Sakaki got it right this round!"
Cheers and claps echoed again.
"Question eight! In the epilogue of Fist of Northstar, a mysterious character observes the final battle Kenshiro the Player against Raoh. He ntions and wonders if martial arts power is a form of what kind of energy?"
Yoko and Takayuki wrote swiftly: NEN.
Endo also confidently jotted it down. He still rembers it because he just beat it last night while the others already forget!.
"Correct! The answer is NEN! Only three contestants answered correctly: Yoko, Takayuki, and Endo! Interesting! Yoko and Takayuki are neck and neck, keeping everyone at the edge of their seats!"
The crowd was now fully engrossed, eyes locked on the scoreboard as scores shifted.
"Now onto question nine," Yumi continued. "In Spongebob Ga what phrase is printed on the mysterious Z-card?"
This ti, even Yoko and Takayuki hesitated. They rembered how Zabo-man appeared in the Spongebob ga, but the exact phrase written on the Z-card eluded them, blurring like a half-rembered dream The mory was faint. Yoko wrote: Try looking everywhere, then you et .
Sakaki, guessing, wrote: I'm everywhere. Keep Looking for
Takayuki answer : You will et everywhere?
Others answered similarly, variations of a cryptic phrase.
Yumi giggled. "Nobody got it right! The correct answer was: 'Look around closely everywhere, and I will be there.' Close, but not quite. Now... it's ti for the final question! And this one will be presented by soone very special..."
Suddenly, the lights dimd. Dramatic music began to play.
The crowd turned toward the stage entrance.
Erging from the smoke was none other than Zaboru Renkonan—wearing his iconic Zabo-helt... fused with an elaborate cosplay of Raoh from Fist of the Northstar. The armor shimred under the lights, complete with spiked pauldrons and a crimson cape.
Gasps erupted from the crowd.
"Is that... Raoh?!"
"Oh my god, Zaboru's insane!"
"That is the most badass thing I've ever seen!"
"Very Manly!"
Zaboru took the mic, his voice amplified and slightly distorted for dramatic effect. As he activated his Aura of Influence: Zabo-Man Persona, the room seed to tighten with anticipation.
Even the most confident participants looked nervous.
"Man... that can't be the real Raoh, right? He looks seriously intimidating.".
"This is not a dream," one audience mber whispered. "This is terrifying and aweso at the sa ti."
From the participant section, Ayumi giggled behind her hand. 'Hehehe... Zabo, you're so cute when you get theatrical.'
Zaboru raised a gloved hand.
"The final question," he bood, "is this: In Pokemon Gas What is the na of the first Bug Catcher trainer you encounter in Viridian Forest?"
A murmur swept through the room.
Yoko smirked to herself. She rembered. The na had stuck in her head because it was the sa as her second butler's na from overseas.
She quickly wrote: Rick Astley.
Takayuki glanced at her with a confused expression. He sighed and chose not to answer. Takayuki sighed with a bittersweet smile. 'Guess that's another second place for ... I really should've rembered that one. But still... it's kind of strange she rembered that of all things, right?' Takayuki thought, a bit puzzled.
The audience was baffled.
"Wait, what? Bug Catchers had nas?"
"I thought they were just called Bug Catcher..."
"No, no, I rember! There's a single line where his mom yells his na when you beat him. But... who rembers it?!"
Zaboru grinned devilishly. The screen behind him flashed white.
"The correct answer is... Rick Astley!"
Suddenly, a spotlight hit Zaboru. Music kicked in—Never Gonna Give You Up blared from the speakers.
Zaboru started dancing rick rolled.
The audience scread with laughter and confusion.
"Is this real?!"
"Why is he dancing like that!!"
"Hahaha it's so Funny damn!"
Zaboru, still in full Raoh armor, pointed into the crowd as he sang, "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down..."
Ayumi was doubled over in laughter; she even held her stomach. Yoko was trying to stay composed, but her grin stretched from ear to ear. Even his employees burst into laughter, joined by his family. His mother, Keiko, chuckled warmly, while his little sister Sanika nearly fell over from laughing so hard.
Hikaru Kurata's brow twitched as he muttered internally, 'Absolutely not. I would never do sothing so absurd.'
anwhile, only Yugo gazed at Zaboru with wide-eyed awe. "Whoa, Boss-sama is so cool," he whispered. His twin sister Yuna simply sighed, clearly unimpressed but used to her brother's admiration.
Zaboru concluded his impromptu performance with a dramatic pose. The lights faded back to normal. Zaboru is also really proud he was able to bring a from his previous world.
"And that," he said, catching his breath, "was your final question. The only one who got it right was... Yoko!"
Confetti burst into the air. Yoko stood up, both surprised and proud.
"Congratulations, Yoko! You are the winner of the first ZAGE Quiz Challenge!"
The crowd erupted into cheers. Takayuki clapped with genuine admiration.
"And for Takayuki and Ayumi congratulations too!"
1st Yoko
2nd Takayuki
3nd Ayumi
Zaboru gestured to the side of the stage, revealing a row of ornate treasure boxes and veiled items, all carefully arranged. Each one shimred under the lights, hinting at the exciting and mysterious rewards he had planned for the winners.
"Let the awards ceremony begin!"
