"Ladies and gentlen, as you bear witness, Anon now carries his competitor Luna in his arms, sprinting without faltering in his speed. What a captivating sight," Seraphina exclaid, her voice resonating with awe.
However, a wave of disapproval rippled through so of the nobles.
"How can a re commoner lay hands on a noble girl of seven-star status?"
"What kind of comntator would describe this as 'a lovely view'?"
"What in the world is wrong with these comntators?"
The noble students began to voice their discontent, criticizing the comntators one by one.
"Landon, as you can see, Anon approaches the final hurdle of our Kingdom's Night Run: Stormborn Sea. Could you enlighten everyone and share your insights on how he will overco this challenge while carrying Luna?" Seraphina inquired, her eyes fixed on Landon.
"Absolutely, my dear. Ladies and gentlen, behold the last and ultimate hurdle of our kingdom—the dreaded Stormborn Sea. Legends speak of its treacherous waters, where only the most valiant souls dare to venture. This unforgiving expanse commands both awe and terror, its very na whispered in hushed tones across distant lands.
By day, the Stormborn Sea disguises itself as a picturesque expanse, its azure depths shimring beneath the radiant sun. But as twilight descends, a sinister transformation takes hold. From the darkest abyssal depths, creatures of unimaginable might and ferocity awaken, drawn by the haunting call of the moon. These behemoths, defying the realm of the known, rise like nightmares given corporeal form.
Yet, it is during the night when the true horrors of the Stormborn Sea reveal themselves. The moon's silver glow casts an eerie luminescence upon the waters, illuminating ghastly sea serpents with scales that gleam like cursed gems. Sirens, with voices both enchanting and deadly, entice unsuspecting sailors to their doom, their haunting lodies echoing through the salt-kissed air."
"Intriguing! We have a formidable hurdle indeed. But the real question remains: how will Anon navigate it while carrying a fair maiden in his arms?" Seraphina interjected, her gaze shifting between Anon and Luna.

"Hmm...? Where am I?" Luna gradually opened her eyes, feeling the gentle breeze on her skin.
"Rise and shine, princess," a voice called from nearby, its tone sowhat familiar but elusive.
"Hmm...? You are..." Luna's words caught in her throat as she laid her eyes upon the face before her.
It was Anon, afla with intensity and standing so close.
"Y-You, why are you carrying like this?" She stamred, her face flushing with shyness.
"Well, you were unconscious amidst a sea of golden frogs. I thought it would be a good idea to assist an unconscious girl, and look where my act of kindness has taken . Not even a simple thank you from the person I saved," Anon teased, a mischievous grin playing on his lips.
"W-Well, you didn't need to save . I am a warrior, and I live and die with my honor and dignity. I don't like being rescued by others, and I'd rather perish than be saved by my competitor in a competition," Luna replied, crossing her arms and pouting.
"Seems like I won't be receiving any gratitude from you, huh?" Anon continued his playful banter, his eyes sparkling with amusent.
"T-T-Thank you," Luna muttered, her face growing even redder.
"Oh my, what have I just heard? A noble thanking a commoner? That's certainly new," Anon teased once more.
"You! What do you want?" Luna inquired, her voice a mix of curiosity and exasperation.
"I'm rely teasing you."
"Put down now," Luna demanded.
"A martial artist should always know her limits. You have zero ki left in your body, and if I were to release you right now, you wouldn't be able to move an inch. Forget about walking back to the academy; if I were to drop you here, you wouldn't even be able to stand up from the ground. You'd be like a paralyzed body."
'Every single word he just said felt like a needle piercing my ears, but annoyingly, he's one hundred percent correct. Here I am, a powerful woman at the rcy of a commoner like him. Tch, this is the most frustrating mont of my life,' Luna thought, turning her gaze away.
"Just gather your ki. Once you have enough, I'll set you free, and then you can regain your independence and forget about this frustrating mont of your life," Anon said, his smile unwavering.
"H-How did you know?" Luna asked, surprised.
"I can read the minds of beautiful girls, especially those who have a crush on ," Anon remarked with a naughty smile on his face.
"Y-You, do you really think I like you?" Luna questioned, her face blushing red with innocence.
"Nope," Anon replied nonchalantly.
Luna let out a sigh of relief.
"Then why did—" Luna began, but Anon interrupted her.
"You love ." Anon imdiately gave her another shock before she could have recovered from the previous one.
Suddenly, Luna felt a surge of heat engulf her entire being, her face turning a deeper shade of crimson.
'Why do i feel like this ? This not even the mating season for us.' luna felt sothing in her heart that she never felt before.
But what she didn't knew is that the fruit she is tasting is not the love fruit but the fruit of the devil himself.
"Y-You pervert!" Luna quickly averted her gaze.
However, as she looked forward again, her enhanced vision caught sight of sothing.
"Stop! There's water ahead. It's the Stormborn Sea. You can't swim with in your arms. Leave here, and soone will co to retrieve within minutes," Luna suggested.
"I don't think anyone is coming. I've been running with you for fifteen minutes, and if help were on its way, they would have arrived by now. It seems no one will co to save you, and if I leave you here, you'll beco fish food within seconds. Is that what you want?" Anon countered.
"B-But how will you swim with in your arms?"
"Who said I'm going to swim?"
"What?"
