Oven's House, Capital.

"It seems that she has left for Trinity in the Express car as informed by Master Arnold."

James sat in his study hearing the report from his servant as he calmly sipped the tea from his cup.

"Good, it seems she really trusts her son," James shook his head with an amused look on his face.

The lady had no idea that her son was planning to send her to her doom.

"What about the information about Zack's son?" He asked looking at the servant.

The news which came out in the morning about Max withdrawing from the tournament was indeed troubling him a bit.

They were going to make a move in Trinity and if Max didn't come to the place as well then it would get troublesome because of Saleos as he already had completed his part of the deal.

"Sir, there is a heavy security on any information related to Zack's son and it is really difficult to get through it without being caught," The man replied while shaking his head as sweat slid down his forehead.

"Hmmn...now that's troubling a bit." James seemed to be in state of deep thought before he suddenly asked, "What about Saleos? He didn't send any information out?"

"Sir, he did tell that Zack's son and Razel's daughter had exited the House in the morning but due to guards around them, it was difficult to follow and track them down. But they most likely have left Capital."

"Hmmn....check the timing of their departure and match it with all the express car which had left the Capital within an hour of that time. There are high chances that they have left for Trinity most likely to watch the next event," James muttered and he wasn't wrong for that speculation.

"Yes, Sir.." The man nodded before leaving.

....

10 minutes later….

The guy once again returned and with good news this time around.

"You are sure about it?" James couldn't help but ask with a smile. It seemed lady luck in was his favor as well this time around.

The person they had set up to keep an eye on Lear's mother had informed that Max was in the Express Car as well and that too right next to her.

The pig itself had walked into the slaughter house for them.

It couldn't be any better now.

"Should we make a move?" The man asked looking at James.

"Not now," James shook his head as he smiled in a sinister manner, "Keep an eye on them for now, I want them to die in Roxley's Territory. Let's stir this up as much as we can."

The servant felt the hairs on his body rise seeing that smile on Jame's face. The plan this time was really sinister, sometimes he even felt that this young master of his didn't have any emotions.

There were rumors floating around too that he didn't even cry on his mother's death.

Maybe those weren't baseless after all...

….

Competition ground, Capital.

The group of leaders from each Academy had gathered.

"Who will take the command?" Melan asked looking around.

It was very obvious that the person who came up with the plan would be the one taking the command.

But there was another thing, the person commanding the operations would be the safest one around.

"Are you going to take the command and be safe after all those things that you said?" Melan asked Lear with a smirk on his face.

"Obviously not, he would be taking the command not me," Lear said while pointing at Axel behind him. "I will be there near the last location and took the charge of team who would draw and enrage the Golem.."

One team would draw the Commanding beast and another would do that for Golem.

So Lear was taking the risk as well by leading the last team as it would mean that he could get pincered between the two monstrous beast on both sides.

His words immediately shut down any kind of dissatisfaction his people could probably have.

"Can he really do it?" Faryl asked as he looked at Axel. After all, this people hadn't known about him at all before coming here.

"He would do it better than anyone else. After all, he has played a major part in the formation of plan," Lear showed them the confidence they wanted and Axel got the position to command with two more people joining him to help from Zealand and Vienna.

And as for how they would be passing information, well. They had already actually prepared a way of communication.

Vienna had come out and shared the generator they found while Blue City had allowed the Broadcasting station which they had captured as base to be used for command Centre.

The Student's from blacksmith with Mage students guarding them had then quietly installed lines which would allowed them to received message from one end to another. While the student's formation department had laid a strong Wind type, defense type, and camouflage formations all around the broadcasting station to strengthen its reach, defenses and obviously to hide it from the Beast's as well.

And with that, the operation began…

….

The students divided themselves into groups according to the plan.

Every group had students from different Academies mixed within them in order assure that there would be no situation in which a single Academy would be totally wiped out. This might affect their team ability a bit but they had to adjust to that at least.

Lear led his group of students and went towards the Golem's nest and as they crossed half the way, his face suddenly changed.

"Careful!"

He shouted alerting all the students and the next moment, the building towards their left trembled before suddenly exploding and spewing lava all over the place. A few students who were unable to react in time were immediately send out of the place by the white light.

Lear's face immediately changed colors, he knew it was that guy.

The lava suddenly parted and a figure calmly strode through the place and appeared in front of Lear with a smile, "It's been while Lear."

"Arnold.." Lear muttered as he suppressed his intention to kill.

"Boom!"

Suddenly another explosion rang out and the next instant, Lear saw another two student from Orca with a large beast chasing behind them enter the crowd.

Amd the beast was not an ordinary one.

It was the Giant Manticore!

The one Erina had fought and it still seemed to have the injuries from that battle. The beast roared in anger at the sight of humans before suddenly pouncing towards the students.

"Calm down! Don't panic! Its just an injure beast!" Zeld, the guy from Ocien whom Axel and Eren had fought earlier was the part of the team as well and he immediately took control of the group to face off against the Beast.

"I won't go easy on you, brother.." Arnold smiled as he took a fighting stance.

"Yeah, you don't need to. Its perfect, just let me see what you have got," Lear said as he stretched his body.

He had decided it, he would be bury the dude right now and right here, by defeating him and putting an end to his plans. He would prove that he was better than any of his brothers.
