My King System
Chapter 199 - Set Up

"Where am I?" Yuki asked as he quickly stood up out of a bed in an unfamiliar place.

"Just go to sleep, you still need to recover your strength," said Avila who was sitting beside him.

"Already home? How long was I asleep for? I still need to take care of my daily check in at the clan," Yuki complained as he tried to clear his head so that he could go on with his day like usual.

"No! I said to rest," said Avila in an angry tone which even Yuki listened to for one.

"As for your daily check in at the clan, Scar has been checking in for you for the past 2 days. The clan said that if you overdid it, they'll allow you to rest for a couple days. They also paid you guys more than you were expecting," Avila explained to Yuki.

"So you're saying that I've been out of commision for a whole 2 day? I seriously need to work on making this body a lot stronger-" said Yuki before passing out on his own which brought relief to Avila even though it shouldn't have.

...

As for Scar, he had gone to the clan so that he could pick out another quest to go on by himself while Yuki was recovering. However as he was picking out the right quest for himself, a group of people approached him. They were composed of fairly geared out people. The group in itself had 6 people in it which all surrounded Scar like a flock of birds.

"Are you the number 15 known as Scar?" one of them asked.

"... I am. What is it that you want of me?" Scar asked them in belief that they wanted to attack him.

"We heard that you managed to over do a quest by more than double the requirement, is that actually true?" another one of them asked with a face full of excitement.

"Well not really. I wasn't the one who actually did most of the work. The one who actually killed nearly all of the ice golems was my comrade who's resting now because he overdid it," Scar replied to them.

"That just sounds like a lie to make it so that your comrade doesn't like a weakling. That's so kind of you," the one who had started the conversation said to Scar.

"But I'm not lying, he was the one who actually did most of the work," Scar argued.

"Oh how humble of you. You're so strong yet so kind as to cover for the weak," one of them said with their eyes of admiration.

"I seriously hate this place. It's like it's full of deaf people who just want to speak over you," Scar thought to himself before answering.

"You know what, since you don't believe me, how about you try to fight against my comrade who you call weak. Instead of only one of you fighting him, how about if all of you do it at the same time," Scar offered.

"Sure! But if we win, you have to join us and help us during our quests whenever we ask," said the one who even started the conversation.

"Deal!" Scar agreed to their conditions.

"Okay, we've managed to secure a deal. All that's left is to eliminate Yuki Kaito. He's currently level 21. According to my sources, the last he was seen here was 3 days ago which was also when Scar went to take on the mission. Most likely, he went along with Scar as a sidekick but ended up surprising Scar when he alone defeated nearly all the ice golems on his own which is why he's resting right now," one of them gave a detailed explanation of what had happened to Yuki.

"So you knew that Yuki was the one who did all of the work but still acted like I was the one that did it? But why?" Scar asked in a confused tone.

"It's simple, we wanted you to agree to our conditions and after we defeat Yuki, you'll have to help us whenever we want your assistance," the one in glasses which had read out the events which took place said before maniacally laughing.

"That doesn't make a difference, you realize that you'll all still lose right?" Scar asked them.

"Well not technically. We know that he's level 21. Our strongest member is level 20 with the remaining being from level 15 to level 17. If we play our cards right, we might not even have to use all of our power to kill your teammate. You set yourself up," one of them explained to Scar.

"Just to make sure that you guys understand, I can just refuse the offer and you'll have no choice but to listen. Even by some weird miracle that it is a clan rule to not back out of an agreement, I'm pretty sure I can bend the rules due to the rank I hold over you. However, I will still agree to the battle which you proposed just to show you as well as everyone else that may still doubt my comrade's strength," said Scar.

"So when do you want the battle to take place?" Scar asked.

"How about in a week? Unless you would like more time than that, that's fine by us," the group to taounted Scar.

"That's fine by me as well," said Scar before shaking one of their hands and going back to where his home was.

"WHAT?! Why would you sign me up for something like that without my permission?" Yuki asked, still laying in his bed.

"There are still a few people who don't believe in your strength. To make sure that no one thinks of you as weak ever again, we need to have to demonstrate your overwhelming power," Scar explained

"That's the problem, I don't really don't care what others think. I just need to keep gaining exp and leveling up, as long as I have that, I won't be complaining," Yuki replied.

"B-But if you don't fight them, it'll be their win by forfeit and I'll have to join their team instead of yours," Scar explained.

"I sometimes don't understand why I tolerate your behaviour," said Yuki with an annoyed face.

"Hey! Don't forget that I saved your life 2 times," Scar stated proudly.

"No you didn't 'save' me, I would've been saved by Zero. It wouldn't have made a difference either way," said Yuki.

"'Zero'? What is that?" Scar asked.

"Oh right, I never told you, did I? Zero is the entity which basically gives me all my supernatural powers. Well it's not his name, I just gave it to him… I think or maybe he gave himself that. Either way, that's what I call him," Yuki explained.

"That's a weird name but anyway, you should focus on developing a strategy to defeat the people who you're going to battle. It's going to be the 4 of them against only you. Without the help of Zero, there's no way you'll be able to win," Scar said to Yuki. 

"That's where you're wrong. I don't need Zero for everything in my life. I can at least take care of myself when it comes to these situations. However, I will need a little extra time. Just tell them that the situation I got myself into is much worse than you thought so the battle will have to be extended by 1 more week meaning that our battle will take place in 2 week from now," Yuki said to Scar. 

"But what difference will an extra week make? It is not like you can simply grain the levels needed to get yourself to such a high level where they would be nothing but ants to you in just a matter of a few weeks," Scar argued as Yuki opened his inventory. 

[Open inventory]

Yuki took out a full status recovery position from his inventory before drinking it so that he would be back at full strength. Once he had recovered his lost might, Yuki got out of his bed with an enthusiastic leap. 

"Where's my blade?" Yuki asked Scar which he replied to by walking in another room of the house and bringing back "Fallen angel of hell".

"I guess that it might have the special properties needed to defeat them. So why would you need an extra week?" Scar asked his comrade. 

"What do you think I'm going to do in 2 weeks? My record time for clearing a dungeon is in a single week. I still haven't cleared the 4th dungeon yet so once it has been cleared, I'll be able to start gaining a lot of exp so that I can level up quickly once again. Of course I plan on spending one week in the 4th dungeon and one week in the 5th dungeon. That way, I'll be more than ready to take on the enemies you've made for me," Yuki explained. 

"Are you sure though? One week just seems unrealistic, if it makes you feel better, I can ask them to make the battle 3 weeks from now," Scar offered. 

"Don't worry, 2 weeks is plenty of time," Yuki replied with a smirk.
