When Arran heard the talk around the academy about the ceremony for choosing a Guardian for the world essence pulse bracer, he thought back to a few months ago when he had just arrived at the academy and was not privy to all the details about the academy and the Aeth.
At that time he was just a young man that had been pulled ut from his roots and shoved into a whole new environment that he was not ready for. All this was a cause of him being in possession of a priceless universal treasure that could incite the greed of all who knew about it.
There was a saying that 'Birds died for food and man died for wealth'. There was also another saying that a poor man who had gold in his home and had no strength to protect his gold would invite thieves into his home and bring disaster upon himself. This was exactly the situation in which Arran found himself in. He had come into the possession of a treasure but because he did not have the means to protect that treasure he had invit
In the council room.This room that was so clean and stalwart was where major decisions that concerned the future direction of the entire Aeth race were usually discussed and made. Usually, this room was always empty on most occasions and even when a major decision had to be made, the thirteen seats of the round table which was for each of the thirteen royal council members were not always occupied.This was because each of the thirteen council members was always busy with their own duties and it was only on really important days, or days when decisions that concerned the very fate of the whole race had to be made that all thirteen seats would be fully occupied. Rarely would such a day ever happen?Today was a very special day.On this day an important decision would be made and plans that had been discussed out previously would have to come to receive the final stamp of approval before they could commence operations.These plans regarded the prepa
The council meeting room was silent as councilman Homer addressed everybody together.Standing up and facing all the council members, councilman Homer said, "Now onto the main topic on our agenda, as you all know the seven rulers have given the go-ahead for the royal council to make preparations for the commencement of the chosen ceremony. Now as most of you were not present at the time due to some pressing matters it was not possible for everybody to be involved with the planning and preparations for this ceremony and as we could not delay this matter due to receiving orders from the rulers the rest of the council and myself took the liberty of making prior preparations ourselves. Now since most of the council members are free from their busy schedules we have called this meeting to discuss the plans that have already been made so as to hear your opinions with regards to any objections or thoughts that you may have.""Should any of you have any opinions regarding the
Since hearing that Arran was someone that was personally recommended all of the seven rulers the council members naturally had no objections whatsoever. Naturally, the seven rulers had the ability to put anybody they wanted into the list of participants, but it was just that they didn't really have to do so themselves. If any member of their family wanted to participate in the ceremony all they had to do was inform the council and they would be able to do so since all members of the seven royal families had a reserved seat in any major public event that took place in their civilization.For Arran who was not a member of the royal family to be personally recommended, this went a long way to show how much he was valued by the seven rulers.As the council members were looking at Arran's name, trying to memories and remember it, it suddenly occurred to councilman Taylor that he had seen this name somewhere before. thinking for a little bit, he thought back to the report he
Two weeks have gone by and it was finally time for the chosen ceremony to begin.Prior to now, Arran had been frantically trying to improve his combat ability as much as he possibly could, given such little time, but when there had only been three days left until the chosen ceremony was meant to start, Arran had slowed down the intensity of his training and had instead used that time to relax himself.He had spent most of those three days in bed with Charmy or touring the academy and the three towns outside the academy leisurely with Eris and Charmy. He did this because he knew that while it was important for one to increase their strength as much as possible before a competition, Arran knew that it was also equally as possible for one to be well-rested before a competition so that one would be at their best state.That was why Arran had taken those three days to rest. apart from the morning drills with instructor Fel, and a few light sparring with Eris and Char
The young noblemen and women made their way over to Eris and Charmy's side with the intention of getting closer to them.Eris and Charmy saw them making their way over and Charmy frowned and said, "Oh-oh, we have some rogue pests closing in on our six Eris. How do you think we should play this one? Do we conduct evasive maneuvers or held and defend the fort?"Eris raised her hands to her forehead as she massaged it, looking like she was suffering from a serious migraine. She did not want to be disturbed at this time by people who thought they were too big for their own britches and with the way Charmy was treating this it looked as if she was not taking this seriously at all.After massaging her temple, Eris said to Charmy while at the same time looking at the group of noblemen and women coming over."Behave Charmy, this is not the academy so you can't go messing around as you like. We'll just welcome them nicely and chat for a while before dismissing all
When the group from the breaking dawn royal college were discussing the chances of their senior Joyner Wellington winning the chance of being chosen as the guardian of the World Essence Pulse Bracer, both Charmy and Eris were not interested in joining them and they only stood by the side and listened with each of them having their own thoughts.Charmy was thinking about when the ceremony would begin so that she would be able to watch Arran's dashing figure as he tried to clear each and every obstacle in his path. As for Eris although her mind was also on Arran, she was predominantly thinking of the best way to dismiss these people without seeming impolite.It was only when the discussion shifted to the type of challenge that the candidates would face in the first elimination round that the interest of both Charmy and Eris was aroused.Hearing the topic of the groups from the Breaking Dawn Royal College's discussion, Charmy and Eris pricked up their ears to liste
This ceremony was being broadcasted live on every network channel in every territory under the control of the Aeth and the people who were paying attention to this ceremony numbered in the tens of billions all across the galaxy.Everybody took some time to reminisce about the incident that happened four hundred years ago and even the voice did not speak for a while as everywhere fell into silence. The silence went on for a minute before the voice continued speaking again."I didn't mean to dredge up memories of the past but it is an undisputed fact that this happened already, it is also a fact that we have already made progress in uncovering the mystery of four hundred years ago that still remains unsolved. With the recovery of our greatest treasure, those of you who are participating in this ceremony in order to earn the right of being chosen as a guardian do this not only to receive great power but whoever is chosen as the guardian to this treasure will take on the r
While the participants prepared themselves for the start of the first elimination round, up on the floating mountain, the rest of the invited audience in the venue were discussing the mode of the first round amongst themselves. It had to be said that the audience was quite surprised and excited by this new way of eliminating the participants. With such an ingenious method being employed right from the start, there was bound to be no dull moment in this ceremony.Unfortunately, not all who were present here were as excited about this mode of competition. at the very least Eris and Charmy were quite worried about Arran's chances during this round of eliminations.When the two of them had first heard about how the first round of eliminations would be conducted, their first reaction was to think about Arran and how he would fare during this round. this way especially so for Charmy because she knew more than anyone here just how treacherous and dangerous the ocean could be.
