Death… And Me

Chapter 30 - Rewards

While Rean was upset for having lost an entire week of desserts, Alanda passed back and forth inside Juri's room.

"Three weeks! Only three weeks and Roan learned how to write and read. Not only that, but he might also have it better than myself. Although Rean hasn't come to me yet, I'm sure he will be in the next days to take his writing and reading test too. Are those two boys really just kids? I'm starting to think that they are possed by some demon."??

Juri shook his head.

"Just ignore it for now. Sooner or later, they will come to us to talk. I don't feel like they have any bad intentions. Besides, it seems that they care a lot about their parents, especially Rean. The problem now is to find a cultivation technique for them."

Alanda nodded.

"Very well. Once they enter the Energy Gathering Realm, I will help them with it."

Juri nodded, satisfied.

"By the way, how are Rivio and Inna doing?"

Alanda's pondered a bit and then said.

"Rivio is pretty much like you and me when we were kids. He also has a Green Aptitude, so it understandable. As for Inna, it is good that the others think that she is only at the Green Level. That girl is as much of a monster as Rean and Roan. The only difference is that she had never cultivated before the classes started. From what I can tell, in just three weeks, she already arrived in the middle of the Blood Replacement Stage. She will probably enter the Bones Enhancement Stage in at most two months' time."

Juri couldn't help but sigh in praise.

"A Blue Aptitude Level is really frightening. She might become even stronger than the Larks' Twins. After all, we do have quite a few Water Cultivation Manuals."

Alanda nodded.

"Indeed. In fact, Inna's talent is not only with cultivation. She is also brilliant. Once again, if not for Rean and Roan, she probably would be the first to finish learning how to read and write."

Alanda then narrowed his eyes and asked Juri.

"What are you going to do about her marriage? There is no doubt that several other Tribes will have their youngsters courting her in the future. Especially when they see how fast her cultivation speed is compared to other girls."

Juri shrugged his shoulders.

"There is no need to be afraid of that. As long as I don't promise anything, they won't be able to force their way. To be honest, I don't think that Rean, Roan, or Inna are going to stay in our Tribe forever. Their talents are too high for them to be confined in this place."

Alanda was taken aback by that.

"But if they leave..."

It was then that he understood what Juri meant.

"Oh, I see... Indeed, there is simply no need for us to worry about Inna's marriage."

With that, they seemed to have reached a tacit agreement.

Juri and Alanda then talked a little more about other issues before they ended those topics for the day.

Sure enough, a few days later, Rean came by to take the Write and Reading test. Just like Roan, Rean also passed it perfectly, showing better writing and reading skills than Alanda.

Alanda also took that opportunity to call Roan over and talk with the twins.

"We have a problem here. The Tribe Leader went to the city to look for cultivation techniques for you two. The problem is that we didn't find anything related to the Dark and Light Elements. That being said, we can only offer you other Elemental Cultivation Manuals. As I said before, everyone can use all elements. The only difference is that their speed of improvement with those elements will be a lot slower."

Rean and Roan looked at each other and then nodded.

"Sure, we would also like to take a look at the cultivation manuals."

Rean and Roan couldn't blame the Varen Tribe. After all, their type of Elemental Affinity was simply nonexistent as far as they know. Even if there are other Dark and Light Element users out there, it probably won't be easy to find them.

It had already been an entire month since Rean and Roan started to take classes. By now, both of them finished opening all 103 Meridians and only needed to finish the last one. But to make sure nothing would go wrong, they decided to wait for the so-called Spirit Stones that were promised by Alanda.

The rewards were paid all at once at the end of every month. So only today would Rean and Roan put their hands on the 15 Spirit Stones that they earned. 10 Spirit Stones came from being one of the 10 first kids to finish learning how to write and read. As for the other 5, they got it from the fighting classes.

But surprisingly, Rean and Roan weren't the only ones getting 15 Spirit Stones. Inna Malaka also received the same amount.

One must remember that before finishing to learn how to write and read, even if you were above the others, you wouldn't get the reward. Only after convincing Alanda that you really knew how to do that, would you receive those Spirit Stones. Inna Malaka turned out to be the third kid to do it. Not only that, but she also finished before the end of the first month.

Both Rean and Roan have adult minds, so it is okay for them to learn that fast. They had the experience, after all. But Inna is really just a kid with a kid's mind.

Alanda noticed the surprised face on Rean and Roan.

"Inna went through my test just yesterday. Although she barely passed, she did that in less than a month. So don't think that only the two of you are smart in this class. Don't get complacent, or she might surpass the two of you in the future."

Hearing that made Inna look down with embarrassment. She didn't like too much attention. She only did that much because she wanted the Spirit Stones to cultivate faster.

In fact, Rean and Roan also didn't mind it. Even if she passed them in cultivation, that would have nothing to do with them. Still, they had to admit that Inna was extremely intelligent. Roan can't be counted since his past life is entirely different. However, Inna is definitely hundreds of times better than Rean when he was at her age back on earth.
