“That person is no other than Rounin!!!”
Is what Iwata Ray implied.

I couldn't digest his words. How could i simply eliminate someone that helped me a lot up until then?!

Even though everything and everyone is fishy to me untill now, i still chose to stay where i felt more comfortable with.

Moreover, the system of Deland did not permit Arima come through the gate and enter this area but did let Iwata in indeed.

How am i supposed to believe someone's words blindly that was considered to be my 'enemy' and not Arima's closest friend whom was proved to be my ally by this system itself?!

“You sure have the nerve, don't you Iwata?!”

“Tsk, that means...you didn't buy that, right?!”

“What did you take me for?!”

“I knew you wouldn't believe me that easily so how about a new deal?!”

“I'm not negotiaiting with you. I'll defeat you here and now then get ourselves out of here.”

“Do you know the enemy has some virtue here in Deland since this was supposed to be 'your challenge'?!”

“What do you want to say?!”

“I can free your friend from here and continue the fight but that depends.”

Freeing Yuji?! Is this just another trick by him?!

“Let's think you're not lying about all this, what is your new deal?!”

“I'll free Minami but i'll set a new rule for here once it's only the two of us.”

“Set a new rule?! You think you have the power? Just earlier you talked about having virtues here but i didn't see anything about it.”

“Ofcourse you didn't. just like Uno game, you're only able to see your cards while i can see mine, we don't have access to each other's hidden cards.”

Was it like this all along, Your majesty?!

[HE'S RIGHT, IT'S BEST FOR YOU TO COOPERATE WITH HIM, YOU DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER OPTIONS ANYWAYS, HAVE YOU?!]

Tch, Is he even on my side?! I'm the one that he possesses yet he treats me like his enemy!!!

“Fine, tell me what's your condition?!”

“Easy, if i win here you have to obey what i told you earlier about killing that guy.”

“Then what about my victory?! You're talking as if you're so sure that the victory's going to be yours.”

It took a second for Iwata to respond as if he was stunned by my response.

“Haha, of course not, tell me your conditions then.”

“Your face, show me your face once i defeat you!!!”

“...”

After a longer silence than the first one Iwata pointed his right hand towards me and signed on the air with his finger which meant he already submitted the contract under the Deland's system.

I repeated the same thing with my fingers as well.

“Satisfied now?! Let Yuji go!!!”

Yuji showed his disagreement loudly and got mad at me; “I dismiss, Taio you can't do this!!!”

I couldn't think of any other ways but to control Yuji again and submit him under my power because i knew he was going to not like the idea in the slightest.

“I'm sorry Yuji, you have to go back!!!”

I used the control ability to force Yuji obey my command and leave Deland because that was the best solution without having to argue with him.

The gate opened once again and if i say i wasn't still sure of what Iwata implied up until that point i would be lying but i witnessed how he actually acted and freed Yuji as he promised.

“See?! Can you trust me now?!”

More than a win-win situation for Iwata Ray, the conditions were completely in my favor...

Why is he so eager to kill Rounin?! More importantly, by my hands?! He should be strong enough to get it done by himself, right?!

“Don't get me wrong, i still don't trust you-” I did not even end my sentance and saw how a collectivity mana tornado that was blown at me came across my body and locked me inside.

I didn't hesitate and summoned the diamond blade but even a weapon as strong as that couldn't get out of that tick tornado made of high quality mana.

“Now what?! It hasn't been a minute and you already lost!”
 
I activated my other abilities, such as using my fists that were covered with mana but no matter how many times i threw my fists at the interior wall of the tornado, that thing didn't even crash a bit.
