Chapter 424: Ceremony (2/2)
Similar situations happened in different places, but the tests are not exactly fighting. For formation master, their formation skills, inscription masters for their inscription skills, artisans for their artisan skills, healers for their healing skills.
Intense competitions are set on blaze. But not all of them are for deployment.
They have their own problems.
Sam didn't send any of the candidates with other skills with the mercenary teams. At least not yet. Sam has other plans for that.
After conducting the final tests and arranging all the things that needs to be arranged the fateful day came.
All the employees of the organization who are in the city are there, some nearby cities' high-level employees also came.
Along with that the Emperor Arc came along with the ministers, Dukes and even some Marquises who are of some higher statues.
Along with that the four tower heads are also there, but they are not the centre of attention.
At this moment, the whole thing was being heard by all the other employees and the citizens of the whole empire at the same time.
In the new compound, tens of thousands of people gathered. Some of them are normal citizens. They are the ones who come to city and stay there for a few months to indulge or explore. After the city's park is the best in the whole empire, so they would definitely people who could afford to test their limits here.
Philip, Watt and Jack came onto the stage and landed stood in their positions. In fact, there are no seats on their stage at all.
The crowd quietened down after they saw them and Sam slowly walked towards the stage. He is wearing his usual Black coat. As he walked to the centre of the stage, he looked at all the people in front of him with faint arrogance.
He is the man of the moment and he achieved it all by himself. He would be lying if he said he don't feel proud of himself.
He is the man capable of summoning so many people to his place when he willed. And more than ninety percent of them are at his beck and call.
He had a special communication device mounted on his ear and this will transmit his voice all over the empire.
”Good Morning everyone.
I am Sam and many of you know me or many of you might have heard of me.
You might have heard many stories about me. Let me give you guys a brief introduction and the orphans who are seated in the group, this mainly for you guys, so listen up.
I am an orphan. I don't know who my parents are. I was brought up by a tailor in the outermost village of the former Orion.
There a Novice is the strongest person. I learned tailoring from the person that brought me up and along with it, there are some other skills I picked up because of some fateful circumstances.
That is all I had. All I had is some knowledge and a beautiful lady from a nearby small city came to our village to get some cloths, that is the time my life changed. Fifteen spirit stones, that is my first payment. I started my journey went to a small city.
I studied my ass off. Every chance I get I studied and learned. I took my artisan exam, formation master exam, inscription master exam. I went to an academy in which I barely cultivated.
Then my journey started because of a competition that was hosted by emperor.
In the whole way until I reached the imperial capital, I didn't have any form of strength to compete with all the figures that I made enemies with. All I had is these three people who are standing on the stage with me.
We four struggled like no other. Many of you might think, the luxury mansions I had, the food I eat and the way I spend and think that I am bullshitting, but the thing is the money I had is the biggest bane. I used all cards up my sleeve to protect my ass.
I even beat the crap out of a prince and the Emperor wanted to kill me. After the whole competition is over, I was targeted and due to my luck and some other treasures that acquired with my ability, I was able to escape.
Now, we are standing in the same city that the former emperor used to live and rule the whole empire.
I don't know how to put it nicely, but simply put, I slayed every fucker that wanted to deal with me. Even the former emperor of Orion was dead in my very own hands.
Now I have a city under my name, riches, men under my command, but everything I achieved was due to my knowledge and also the my resolution which is strong enough to make me harbour thoughts of killing a Transcendent realm emperor when I was barely a Great realm cultivator.
And behind all those miracles I made, there are somethings in common. The desire to learn, the desire to raise, the desire to persist in front of a formidable enemy.
To the orphans that are here, I am telling you. I cannot give you all three of those things that I have, but what I can do is that if you do have those things, I can make sure they are put to use with the aid of the resources and the opportunities they need.
To the western continent, I hereby announce the opening of the THE SCHOOL.”
With that a plaque was revealed on behind Sam with the words The School engraved on it.
