"Ouch, my head hurts like being hammered" he argued out.
"Oh, you are awake" a voice said as he opens his eyes and saw his hands tied up like he had commit a crime.
Turning his face to the near direction, he noticed the two girls with an old man that look like he is in his forties and the two knights that stood at the door of a luxurious carriage another one at the driving position as two horses hold the carriage, which another two horses stood beside a tree as they feed on the grasses.
Back to the three who sat beside an expensive pot with something boiling inside, Zinn could tell by the look on his face that they were royals and not any royals but elves royals.
Seeing the look on his face, the old man said "Ele-moon-no-ria" as Zinn noticed been carried towards their direction under a magic circle and remain silent as it was his first raid and was a sense of joy to him but wonder what they were up to.
Just as he appeared before the three, he noticed the meat in the soup of vegetables and asked "So, elves also eat meat in this world?".
"Keep quiet or I'll crush your bones human" the girl that attack him roared out as the old man stopped her "Sera, let him be as he would surely face judgement. And no, we don't but just wanted to try it out since people say its nice and revive strength".
Zinn replied "Okay, but you should be careful and add 'Cara leaf' to it to make it delicious" and the old man said "Sure and Sera, please add the leaf he said to it as the last ingredient" as she placed it inside as she watches Zinn with killing eyes.
"So now, who are you and why did you attack the Princess?" the old man asked with a serious voice as he watch Zinn.
"…" Zinn kept mute as he asked again threaten to kill him.
Zinn said "Why don't ask her whether I attacked her or not before I talk" look at her with a bad luck face.
"Stop playing around or you will die here" said the old man as the Princess interrupted saying "He didn't attack me rather; we crushed into each other and row me away from the bull".
"But he was on top of you with his filthy hands on your breast and as a princess, it's a crime for a stranger to do that as your dad would have him imprison" said Sera with lighter tone.
"I know, that is why you and Mr. Hai are here, but I want to keep him as my slave now since he is a half-elf and lost" said the princess as she changes the topic and shock everyone with such decision as they looked at Zinn who felt like the world have crush on him.
Zinn said "Whoever you people are, I'm not going to do what you want and please let me go before I lost my chance to join the STL Academy"
Hearing Zinn speak and stood up, Mr. Hai cast magic arrows around Zinn and the two knight draw their swords at Zinn.
"Don't think we will allow you to leave. Since, Princess Filia wants you to be his slave, it is only one thing and that is you accept it or die and if you deny, don't blame me for killing you as I care less of waste like you" Mr. Hai said as he stood up with a smile.
Thinking that Zinn was going to surrender, Zinn grinned his teeth and broke his hands free as he said "You fucking call me waste, you are a fucking old sack that lost his wife because of your selfish needs and come at me if you wish to know who I am!"
Just as he heard those words, he smiles at the insult Zinn gave him as he closes his hands and the arrows flew at Zinn who broke them all with his dagger as it shocked everyone.
'This boy sure is hiding something and I can't sense his aura at all' thought Mr. Hai as he watches the Zinn who held his dagger ready.
Filia stop them as she said "It's okay if you don't become my slave but can't you just join us if we are going to the same academy?" and with those words, Zinn seems to think about it when Sera and the knights jump to attack him.
Zinn dodge as he kicks Sera away and withdraw his dagger as he clenches his fist for combat.
The knights didn't stop as they swung their weapons at the Zinn who grab their attacks with difficulty and kick them away. He continued to attack them like he was ready to fight to the core, when all of a sudden, he noticed more arrows flying at him and quickly took his dagger out again to protect the Sera on the ground.
Sera didn't understand why he had suddenly change from attacking to protect her and watch as he destroy all the arrows that she couldn't without getting hit.
"I give up and you can leave, on my side of view" she said as she steps back to watch the meal she was preparing.
The knight seeing Sera withdraw also step back and leaving Zinn to face Mr. Hai as he had a feeling he wasn't going to stop, so he dashed at him with his skill and was about land a strong punch when he heard "I also give up".
But it was too late as he punches him in the belly that broke his barrier and sent him distance away as he couches blood. Zinn felt bad at the same time happy that he beat such an old man who had magic, but he quickly apologized and accepted to jump them in their travelling.

'That was quite better but how can it be like this?'
Zinn remembered that she kissed him and that was why she plan to make him stay, which brought this whole child play. "So Filia, you planed this right and it was to convince" he said looking at her and noticing how shock she was that she someone like him could notice.
Filia quickly gain her composure not to embarrassed herself before someone she just met and ignored him.
'How did he noticed that I already had a dream about him and to tell that he played along? No, he doesn't know about the dream and maybe found out that from when I was talking with Sera and Mr. Hai, yes, he got it there'
