Death… And Me

Chapter 2901: Distribution

”Get out of the way, get out of the way!” Didi made his way through the crowd, pushing everyone aside to get to where Rean was located. Finally, he patted Reanʼs head and laughed out loud. ”Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! What an absolutely amazing display, Rean. I had my doubts when Clansto came to ask to let you join the fights, but you didnʼt disappoint at all.”

Rean was a little surprised by that. Considering hi own movements, one would find hard pressed to believe he was just a lost kid. Rean thought Didi would at least show some suspicion. Yet, Didi was happier than ever. Of course, Rean wasnʼt an idiot. It was definitely because of the strong reaction he got from the invisible crystal above the field. ”T-Thank you, Chief Didi. I hope I managed to do enough to get a Werdlem Stone.”

Didi nodded and looked at Clansto in the midst of the crowd. ”Clansto, you did the right thing in saving this child and his brother. They will be great assets for our village in the future. Rean here will get a Werdlem Stone regardless of the result of the other age competitionsʼ results.” Clansto joined in the laughter, nodding in agreement. ”Hahaha! But of course! He knows how to fight better than any of the kids.”

Clansto and the others couldnʼt see the crystal above the field, so they werenʼt really surprised by Didiʼs decision. There were some suspicious eyes, but no one would go against Didiʼs words. Besides... Rean truly fought beautifully. Even some of the Energy Gathering Realm experts watching didnʼt know if they could beat Rean after what they saw.

Rean bowed to Didi and then walked to the kid he just defeated. ”Larson, you also got to the finals, donʼt forget that. Tomorrow, I will teach you and the others how to train so that you can do great when the next stones arrive.”

Larson slowly got up and nodded. ”You said that already. Iʼll pay a visit to you tomorrow morning... or after the pain goes away.”

Didi looked at that and felt even more satisfied. He would be lying if he said he didnʼt have his doubt about Reanʼs origins. It did feel like Rean had come to his village just so that Rean could get an easy stone. Nonetheless, the result he saw from the crystal made it all worth it. ʼThere is no way the Gondel Clan will ignore his talent. Regardless if he came with the intention of acquiring an easy stone, the fact is that my village will get a huge reward for discoring such a kid in our rankings. It matters little if he leaves later or not,ʼ Didi thought to himself.

When the people around questioned about the light earlier after Reanʼs fight, Didi simply commented he was responsible for it. He wanted to make the fights more interesting. As for whether the people believed or not, that didnʼt matter.

At the center of the Travil Region, one would find the residences and the palace of the Gondel Clan. They were the Werdlem Representatives in this place and answered straight to the Rivia Country Lord. As for the Country of Rivia, it too was a subordinate of the Werdlem Empire.

In an enormous room inside the Gondel Clan, one could find hundreds of cultivators watching various screens where information appeared nonstop. If Rean was here, he would definitely have identified all of it to be Circuitry Formation Equipment, although many times more advanced than the ones he saw so far.

One of these cultivators was watching his own screen when suddenly, his screen showed a few words that surprised him. ”Oh! A Level Three Talent. It is already the seventh one this semester. Letʼs see... where is it, where is it... Hum? Sansome Village? They only have a few thousand residents. Hehe! They truly used their next thousand years of luck to give birth to such a kid.”

Following that, he pressed a few keys and imput some information in the terminal in front. Finally, he changed the screen and continued to look through the information of other places, hopping to find someone similar. He would get bonuses if he did.

Back in the Sansome Village, the fights continued after Reanʼs victory. The selection of Werdlem Stone holders could be taken up to fifteen years of age, so there were another three batches of young men and women to fight for them.

When the sun had already begun to go down, the last fights ended, and Didi came out once again to give his decision based on what he saw. Well, the truth was that he didnʼt select anyone. It was all based on the reaction of the green crystal above the field. ”Everyone did well. I can see that you all trained a lot, and the overall level of the fights was quite good. Now then, those who donʼt get selected this time, donʼt give up. There is always the next semester.”

He continued. ”As for those who will turn sixteen before the arrival of the next stones, you are still important members of our village. You are no less important than any of the Werdlem Stone holders. I hope you all will grow to support each other. Now, the results.”

”Rean Larks, twelve years old, gets one of the stones for the men.”

”Kalisto Rerge, nine years old, gets one of the stones for the men.”

”Polie Lafadio, ten years old, gets one of the stones for the women.”

”Cassandra Eijixin, seven years old, gets one of the stones for the women.”

Rean and Roan werenʼt surprised by those choices. By observing the floating green crystal and the energy released by it, they knew very well who Didi was going to select, and that proved to be true.

Didi then brought the stones out. ”The winners and their families can come with me to my residence. We will now infuse the stones into your bodies. After this, you all will be able to cultivate, just like the other warriors of our village. Thanks, everyone, for watching todayʼs event. Anyway, kids, follow me.”
