231 How old are you? (2/2)
\”I will be going ahead since my competition site is somewhere else. Tiane will be going with me, too. Once you get some time free, send me a message.\”
Krune nodded and looked at Ruik.
\”Are you going with the two girls or coming with me?\”
Ruik pondered a bit and decided to go with Krune for now. He was just here to watch the fun, so it didn't matter which one he followed.
Krune gave Feifei a kiss, and they went their separate ways.
Ramon, who was guiding everyone, asked Yilio about Feifei with a Divine Sense message. Yilio then explained the little bit that he knew, which surprised Ramon.
\”Isn't Binou a member of that Formations Master Branch close to our building? If I'm not wrong, he is the one with the highest Formations Master Rank under 35 years old from that place. Did he really say that that girl has higher talent than him?\”
Yilio nodded.
\”I was also surprised. I've known Binou for quite a few years already, so I know that he is quite proud. For him to say something like that, this Hana girl must really have an astonishing talent for Formations. Of course, this means very little for our Alchemist Organization anyway.\”
Ramon nodded.
\”Well, that is true. Anyway, as long as it doesn't impact your or Krune's performance, we have nothing to do with it. If anything, I'm quite happy to see that a wisp like him was able to conquer such a talented human girl. Haha!\”
Krune didn't know about what Ramon and Yilio were talking about, nor did he care. His mind at the moment was only thinking about the Elemental Path Stone that he will get after all of this is over.
'I hope that that thing also works with my Elemental Meridians.'
After arriving at the Alchemist competition site, Ramon brought Krune and Yilio to apply for their working stations. During the Competition, you can only rely on your skills. All the materials, cauldrons, and any other working tool will be provided by the Solar System Alchemist Headquarters. That is to guarantee that everyone would be at the same level.
Ruik noticed that it would take some time and decided to go somewhere else.
\”I already know where you will be staying, so I will pass by there this night. I will take a look around since I have nothing better to do.\”
Krune nodded, he indeed had no reason to keep Ruik close by anyway.
Since there were a lot of participants, Krune and Yilio had to wait with Ramon until their time for registration came.
One of the employees in charge of making the registrations then looked at Ramon's group and said.
\”Next.\”
Ramon then brought Krune and Yilio forward.
\”Name and Rank.\”
Yilio came forward first.
\”Yilio, Eight Silver Stars Alchemist.\”
Ramon was surprised to hear that and asked with a Divine Sense message.
\”Did you advance in rank?\”
Yilio nodded.
\”Yes, I was already very close to making a breakthrough. So I used the last two weeks to give the final push. Still, I just barely reached this level, so I'm not very confident in controlling this level.\”
Ramon shook his head.
\”That is not a problem, the fact that you went up a level is a motive to celebrate anyway.\”
The employee then brought out something like a crystal ball and said.
\”Put your hands on it for the age check.\”
Yilio followed the orders and put his hand on the ball.
-Core Formation Realm, 8th Stage. Bone Age, 33 Years old.-
The employee nodded and passed Yilio an electronic token.
\”Your working station is the 5781st one. The Competition starts at 11 AM tomorrow, so be sure to be in your working station before that. Anyone late will be automatically disqualified.\”
Yilio nodded and returned to Ramon's side.
Krune was the next one.
\”Jolk, Six Silver Stars Alchemist.\”
Krune then did the same thing as Yilio, but surprisingly, the information given was different.
-Core Formation Realm, 6th Stage. Bone Age, impossible to determine.-
The employee and everyone else around got puzzled.
Soon, Ramon understood the issue.
\”Oh, right! You are a wisp, the bone age check doesn't work on you.\”
The employee also understood when he heard that, but he was still surprised to see that a wisp came to participate. He then took a blood contract out of his spatial ring and wrote a few things on it.
The contract simply stated that Krune had to tell the truth when he asks how old he is. There was no punishment written since it was just a truth test.
Krune understood. Since he isn't a Divine Soul Realm expert, blood contracts still worked. Krune signed it without thinking. The contract then burned down, and a seal was put on Krune's soul.
\”Very well, how old are you?\”
\”I'm 12 years old.\”
Immediately, the other competitors went silent, the employees went silent, every single being who heard that went silent. The only exception was obviously Yilio and Ramon.
The seal on Krunes soul then disappeared right after, which proved that he was talking the truth since his contract terms were completed.
\”Holy shit! A 12 years old Six Silver Stars Alchemist!\”
