Death… And Me

Chapter 28 - Another Bet

Roan might not care about his Elemental Color, but Alanda definitely did. Not only him, but everyone in this field did as well. Their Tribe had made the Elemental Affinity test thousands of times, but they had never seen a Dark Elemental Color.

However, Alanda had an idea bout it. Juri had commented with him in the past about it. It seems that there are some extremely rare element users in the world. Obviously, the region around the Astreg City didn't have anyone like that. At least, not until now.??

Alanda noticed everyone looking at him, waiting for the result of the test. In the end, he could only say what he thought that it was.

"Cough, Cough. Level 7 Darkness Affinity."

Alanda didn't even need to tell Roan to go to the side since he was already there. Not only that, but he could see an awful expression on his face.

"Next, Rean Larks."

Rean smiled brightly at Roan on the other side and ascended to the stage. At the same time, he thought.

'Hehe! You definitely will try the same thing as me. Too bad, though. It doesn't matter how crazy or loud the sound is, you won't be able to stop me. Those desserts are mine!'

Unfortunately for Rean, Roan had long since thought about this possibility. As soon as Rean started his test, the one to show an evil smile on his face this time was Roan.

The Spiritual Energy gathered around Rean's hands as fast as it was with Roan. Almost instantly, the Main Affinity Orb shined brightly with a White Light! If Alanda says that he wasn't expecting it, he would be lying. Still, to see two rare elements at the same time was really shocking!

'Just what did Turen and Hamarlia do to conceive such a pair?'

Rean was also focused on his Orb. At the same time, he was waiting for Roan to use the same trick. But suddenly, he heard a soft laugh.

"I have no doubt that you are ready for any sounds, but I wonder if you are prepared for this."

Rean and Roan can stop their own thoughts from being heard. However, if one of them wants his thoughts to be heard, the other side can't block it. So Roan didn't use any loud sound, but a 'movie' instead.

As for which movie? Which one was better than their parents during their intimate moments? During the time they were babies, their parents did bother hiding anything since they were just 'newborns.' Rean and Roan shouldn't be able to remember anything in the future. Too bad, though. Roan still remembers everything clearly. 'Especially' the fact that Rean couldn't deal with such scenes.

Immediately, the scenes of Rean and Roan's parents enjoying their night played inside Rean's mind. Roan also made sure to play it in High Quality, especially giving a big ZOOM at those two places where the most 'action' was happening.

Rean almost vomited blood!

"Yo-You! Don't you have any respect for our parents?!"

Roan just snorted, though.

"All Is Fair in Love, War, and Desserts betting!"

Rean felt like crying but had no tears. Between the zoomed scenes, moans, and quick pat pat pat sounds, he ended not being able to concentrate at all! He had to do his best just to finish lighting up the Seventh Affinity Orb. In the end, Rean and Roan's bet was a draw.

Of course, as soon as Rean got down from the stage, the two boys started another fight... which also ended in a draw.

Alanda didn't know what to do with those two. Still, he had to give Rean's test results.

"Sigh... Rean Larks, Level 7 Light Affinity."

Seeing the twins who seemed to not give a damn to their test results, Alanda pondered whether all his shook earlier had any meaning.

The tests continued until all 61 kids were tested.

But now, Alanda felt another headache coming his way.

'Our Tribe does have cultivation techniques for all five elements, even Lightning, which is a lot rare, we have a two. However, where the hell will I find a Light and Darkness Element Cultivation Technique?'

Alanda pondered a bit and then shook his head.

'Forget it, I will ask Juri about it later. He spends more time in the city than me, so he might have an idea. Besides, before Rean and Roan enter the Energy Gathering Realm, a cultivation technique will be useless for them. If worse comes to worst, we can give them another elemental cultivation technique. Although it won't be optimal, it is still better than nothing.'

It was then that Alanda remembered one thing. Rean and Roan are already in the Spiritual Vision Stage of the Body Transformation Realm.

'How many meridians did they open already?'

Alanda decided to ask them after he dismisses all the kids.

"Everyone, come with me. We are going to the cultivation techniques repository. Our Tribe is only considered a small one, so we don't have that many. Still, the ones present were gathered with the sweat and blood of the Tribe during its several years of existence. So make sure to take care of them well in the future."

All the kids followed Alanda to a big building in the center of the Tribe. Outside, one could see two warriors guarding the entrance. Once Alanda got close, they bowed and opened the way. The kids all followed, soon passing through the gate.

Inside, several shelves with scrolls and books could be seen. Alanda then looked at the kids and said.

"Those are the techniques of our Tribe. Once you learn how to write and read, you will be allowed to look into them. I will also personally help you select the most suitable technique for each of you."

After that, three other Tribe members came from behind Alanda.

"Those three are the ones who are going to teach you how to Write and Read. Every warrior of the Varen Tribe must know how to do that. After all, our Tribe makes a lot of trades with outsiders. If you don't know how to read, you will most likely be tricked into bad deals."

The 61 kids were then separated into three different classes, with Rean and Roan being put in different ones.

Seeing that the division was completed, Alanda smiled and said.

"Warriors need cultivation resources to cultivate. However, our Tribe is not a rich one, so funds are limited. Only those who put the best efforts will receive the best support. The warrior apprentices that learn how to write and read well enough for my liking will be rewarded with 10 Spirit Stones. But it is only valid for the first 10 who come to me. The others will only receive 5 Spirit Stones, and that is after they finish learning as well. If you want to become strong warriors, you better not lose this opportunity."

All the kids' eyes lit up. They all heard from their parents that warriors need spirit stone to cultivate faster. So they were all full gung-ho at the moment.

But there were two exceptions. Not too surprisingly, they were Rean and Roan.

"This is gonna be quite an easy reward."

Roan agreed with Rean.

"It's to the point where I even feel bad about participating. They are all just kids, after all."

Suddenly, Rean looked at Roan.

"Are you still up for a bet?"

Roan immediately nodded.

"Brint it on! One week of desserts for the one who gets recognized by Alanda first."

With a handshake, the idiots' bet was on... once more.
