Chapter 54 IUC Party (Part IV)

[Charles POV]

Beating down the yeti was satisfying in its way. I could see why bullies like to do what they do. If I had power, I wouldn't mind beating down my enemies.

Is this how my supposed father felt? The gloomy feeling inside me started to take over once I realized this.

"Master~?"

Nene snapped my thought, and I looked at her. She had about ten wrapped presents in her hand.

"What's the matter?"

"Look how much we got~!"

Taking my mind off what I thought, I looked at what Nene was holding. Not only was she holding a lot of them, but Jasmine also had some.

"Let's continue. We have more to get."

And with that said, we went on to find more gifts. The time passed, and we had found twenty-one gifts by the end of the event.

Nine other teams were out, and I looked at how well everyone did. Second place had seven, with next in line having five.

"Blaine, where's your present? For someone worried for me. You don't seem to be doing well."

"..."

Blaine went quiet hearing me say that. He knew that I was messing with him. Even so, I couldn't help but laugh at him.

"Want to see what our team gets? That might make you feel a little better."

Blaine had his fist clenched. If I pissed him any longer, he wouldn't be able to hold back from attacking me.

"I kind of pity you. Here take this."

I handed him a gift. It fitted for this moment. I increased the power of my skill to thirty-five percent. Everyone was surprised that I handed him a gift.

"Master~! Are you ok~?"

Nene touched my forehead, checking if I had a fever or something. I didn't give him the gift out of pity but spite.

"I'm fine. Blaine, why don't you open it? Surely you should get something good out of it."

"Are you sure you wouldn't regret this? I might win because of this one gift."

"If you do, then I will take the blame."

pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ I do pity you for thinking that this gift will give you the win. Blaine then opened his present. Everyone was curious about what he got.

"Blaine, it seems like you have been a naughty boy. Ten pieces of coal. I didn't think anyone could be that unlucky."

The devil was embarrassed by what he had said earlier. He had so much confidence in his luck that it backfired against him.

I had undone the curse on him before he got harmed. I'm such a nice guy. I gave him a present and took his curse away. The world needs more people like me.

"Hahahaha!!!"please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

"Fufufu!"

"Kahahaha!!!"

"That's the worst gift you can get."

Laughs at the party could be heard. Since that was out of the way, I should open the gifts we got for our team.

Blaine walked out of the party, wanting to get out of sight. He'll be back sooner for the next game.

"Nene, Jasmine, let's open ours now."

Before I do it, I set Jasmine's misfortune value to zero. I can't have her getting anything terrible. We had twenty gifts, with me giving one to Blaine.

The team didn't mind letting me have ten, while the rest got five. After all, I was why we got so many in the first place.

I then opened all ten of them. Only three of them were good. One of them was a bracelet made out of flowers.

The effects of this bracelet increase my luck. I could only decrease my misfortune so that this bracelet would be helpful. Next was a glove that could increase my punching speed.

My final gift, which was the best, is a rank-five mana vial. Could I even use this right now? I could explode if I overload on mana.

"Nene, Jasmine, congrats."

Not only did I receive some good stuff, but Nene and Jasmine did as well. Nene got a scarf that resists all elemental damage by 10%.

As for Jasmine, she got a purse. It may sound useless, but it was a better storage ring. She looked like her life had been completed once getting this present.

We had finished opening our presents, and Linsey was happy with what we got. There was no way that someone here would beat us.

Everyone here was watching what we got. It was weird being stared at, but most people were jealous of our prize.

Our team got first place, while Claire's team got second. And Blaine got last with his coal.

"We'll do a thirty-minute intermission before we start the next event! Enjoy this small break!"

With the dragon guy giving us a break. Everyone here went to enjoy the party. Linsey walked up to the three of us and had a proud look on her face.

"Good work. The face coming from that stupid bitch couldn't help but bring me joy."

Linsey laughed happily. Do you think she would give us a bonus because of this? Well, it's better not to ruin your boss's mood.

"Hey, boss! Should I drink the mana vial now? I don't think my body could handle it."

Mana was a different force, although together. You blow up if your body can't handle the amount of mana you absorb. Literally.

"Your body could barely handle it. You're lucky that your mana is at a pitiful level. If you drink it now, your body will be unstable."

"I would recommend that you wait and get stronger. So no hidden injury within you would cause you any trouble in the future."

What Linsey said made sense. Even though I wanted to drink it, there was no point in using it now. Unless the next event has a chance for me to get killed, I will use this as a last resort.

Using the remaining time, I went dancing with Nene. No, I don't know how to dance. There was no need for me to learn. Nene being an expert at it, taught me well.
