Third-person POV
Cristina and Camellia were stunned at Roxas's creative attack on Sugou. Sho was proud, though he played a part in this. At the time, Kaota and others, while the other adults in their groups were going to the police for help, came to the rescue, only to be stunned by the sight of the hole in the wall.
"Wait, where's that cosplayer guy?" Kaota asked.
"What's with the hole in the wall?" Thaddeus asked, his eyes darting between Cristina and Camellia, who were now freed from the ropes by Sho.
"Oh, a disciplinary slap on him…" Roxas chillingly responded while holding his slipper.
"Is that a slipper?" Thaddeus asked.
"Haha, yeah…I slapped the heck out of that Sugou guy…"
Kaota and Thaddeus were in awe.
After all that, they, including Cristina and Camellia, left the castle and confronted Sugou, who is now getting up from that attack while coughing up dirt from the soil. "You commoner bastards…" he hissed at their glaring faces, "…overthrowing me like that…? So rude…"
"Look who's talking here…" Sho growled.
"Overthrowing?" Roxas added, his gaze was as cold as the Vietnamese mountains that had snow on them. "Like you're acting like a political leader here…"
"Basto ikaw…" Camellia hissed.
Because of that, Sugou decided to do one thing: make a rude anime face at them and teleport away, alongside his NPC elf guards and castle. He did so, and Roxas and the others weren't upset by his retreat; they were more relieved that it was over. By that time, the police came with Roxas's parents and Sho's adoptive parents, only to miss everything, and the castle was gone. The other kids came to them and bore witness to what they had seen and what was happening.
The system rewarded Roxas, Kaota, Sho, and Thaddeus with 30,000 Gold Yen.
Sho and Thaddeus levelled up once as well.
They split the money among themselves and gave some to Cristina and Camellia.
After that, Sho summoned a window and saw a message from Kaito. It was about a new addition: the Swordsman of the White Pearl Ordination. This new sub-role granted great accuracy and blinding light ability to those who were ordained as one. Kaito added that Roxas, because of his bravery and sense of true justice, was eligible to have that sub-role. Roxas and Kaota saw that and took a peek.
"Um…sino si Kaito?" Roxas asked.
"Are you a developer or something?" Kaota added.
"I am a secret developer," Sho responded back, "and Kaito is an ally and friend of mine in this game."
"What???" Roxas was shocked at the 'secret developer' part. "You're one, in this game? I thought you're only studying computer programming and a minor course of agriculture!"
Sho then summoned two NPC precolonial Filipino native warriors, programmed by Kaito, and chuckled at them. "Well…I had my personal; calling to get involved in this game…"
"No way…" Anko, within Roxas, was astonished.
Hearing what Sho just replied, Roxas and Kaota looked at the two NPCs in traditional Filipino garbs.
"Roxas Nietes…" one of the two NPCs said with a voice of ancient authority, "…we hereby ordain you as a Swordsman of the White Pearl for your bravery and dedication to true justice and integrity of your faith…"
Seizing an awesome opportunity, Roxas was on his knees as the two Filipino NPCs laid their hands on his head.
"Until the game is over…" the second NPC added, his voice booming with authority of precolonial Philippines, "…you and the others who will have this sub-role will help out in defeating the game…"
Everyone who saw that was in awe.
And so, Roxas became the first Swordsman of the White Pearl, with the awesome perks that come with it.
