Now that everything was in order, I took a look at everyone and was not surprised to find most of them confused about what happened to them, some even downright scared. I wouldn’t help explaining until someone asked me to though. It was their jobs, not mine.

“Since, I was the first in the line and already had a test prepared. I won’t ask about what you just did to us, instead I request a duel with you, sir.”

The bald man with a scar on his face in the front spoke and a few people in line had a little change on their faces. How many of you were asked to come and fight me?!

"Anyone who came here for duels or combat related tests, please step out of the line and wait for me to finish with others first."

Six people walked out and sat on the chairs Room had prepared. That was half of them! Why did you love violence so much?

"Good, now what's next? You can ask anything, so relax and speak up."

The next in the line was a girl with thick glasses, she looked smart but timid. She couldn't even look me in the eyes when she tried to speak.

"Um, I.. I want to ask about what you did earlier, sir. Wh.. What kind of power did you just use? It wasn't mind control because many of us should be able to deal with mind manipulation magic but somehow your power worked on everyone here."

I didn't know if your boss wanted to know this, or this was your own curiosity but you did a favor for many people as I saw them nod their heads listening to your question.

"Straight to the point, I like that. But in our agreement, I stated that I won't elaborate on anything about my previous world and myself."

That was Interesting. I felt a bit of anger from them but it wasn't directed at me, they were looking at White.

"But since you guys were on guard against me, I can tell you a little bit about one of my unique traits. In my world, they call it 'Devil's Whisper' and to put it simply, my speech will tempt you to do something I want you to do. It isn't mind control but more like invoking your desires. That's all I'm willing to tell you. Next!!"

The girl walked away with a note in her hand and pen in other writing down something. Next in line was a huge statue made out of stone, was this a magic golem? Or one of the living beings in this world?

"What's your purpose here, human?"

"Didn't White tell you already? He was the one who brought me here, y'know?"

All the gazes moved from me to White. Wasn't in the same position as their bosses? Why could they act like this?

"Okay, I'll ask him then. Thank you, human."

The stone guy just walked to White and started the conversation with him. Since I wasn't interested in that, let's move to the next person in the line… And no one was there anymore.

Looked like the bosses of these guys didn't communicate with each other and ended up with the same questions or objectives. There were three main objectives; first was to measure my strength, second was to learn more about me and lastly was to investigate the purpose of this space. While the first one was put on hold right now and I answered the second one, I accidentally threw the last one to White to deal with.

"Call me when you're done with him, alright? I'm going to prepare myself for the duel."

But before I could walk away, the bald man with a scared face got up from his seat. Why didn't you go and listen to the answer from Mr.White?! Everyone was there!

"Can we start? I'm only here because 'he' told me I will find an unbeatable opponent here."

*Sign*

"Okay, let's move away from them first. And I have to let you know I just started practicing magic and I can't use it yet, so I will use this for our fight."

A black wooden rod appeared in my hand as we walked a bit away from the crowd. The man nodded and put on his gloves which had some characters I didn't know on them.

"I heard that your world doesn't have magic or mana. I'm curious how you survive without them."

"Avoiding conflicts is my specialty, y'know. And we just went for another type of power than magic."

"Could you enlighten me what that power is?"

I stopped and turned around to face him which made me realize that all of the people here were watching us right now. Why did I walk away again?

"Anomalies or I should say intense desires. Oh, before we start, who still wants to fight with me please join him and come to me at once to save some time."

As I said that I heard something popping and a growing red fist came straight at my face. Fortunately, I had some combat training before. I stepped to the side to avoid the direct hit and stabbed my rod between his legs to trip him. Maybe he didn’t expect me to intercept his punch, but he lost his balance and needed to roll on the ground before standing up and looking at me in surprise.

“Anyone want to join? I will say this again: I have no magic, but that doesn’t mean I don’t know how to fight. I just fight in a different style than yours. While I don’t want to sound narcissistic, my style was better in one against many. That’s why I asked for more participants, please don’t get upset Mr.Baldhead.”

I heard some giggle from the crowd and two more people stepped forward. One was the woman wearing full armor from head to toe with sword and shield in each hand, the other was an old man in a rope with crystal staff. So, a knight and a wizard? Excuse me, why did you have such a perfect line-up now? Did I really have to do this seriously? White was just enjoying the scene now. And someone spoke up..

“Sorry, but your smile is really creepy, sir.”
