Chapter 244 Rewards (2/2)
Bowen felt that Darren's blade intent and sword intent were only slightly stronger than his legendary martial skill. If he ha
had picked whatever they liked. Of the two remaining keys, Bowen and Violet claimed one each.
The guardian of these keys had shared earlier that the keys were necessary to break into the eleventh stage.
Now that the first stage assessment was over and the talents had selected their rewards, the only people who stood a chance to cross into the eleventh stage were Darren, Bowen, and Violet.
After the prize distribution was over, Boyce recollected that he had not requested Darren to keep Tom. Now, Boyce didn't have the courage to ask Darren. After all, Darren had given him two of his prizes, and Boyce was worried that if he asked for more, he would seem greedy and annoying. He was afraid that Darren would find him repugnant for this.
While Boyce debated over this dilemma, the guardian's voice was heard in the sky, ”Darren, you have a chance to request for anything from me. There are many alternatives. Think about what you might want.”
This chance was precious as Darren could ask the guardian for one weapon, one book on legendary martial skills, or any other valuable equivalent.
Although Tom was standing nearby, he could not bring himself to approach Darren with his request. Meanwhile, Boyce watched anxiously and hoped that Tom would tell Darren as soon as possible.
”I see. So...”
Darren paused for a while as he glanced at Tom.
”Mr. Guardian, I wonder if I can request to retain a superior talent who has been knocked out of the assessment.”
”Of course, you can.”
”Okay. Then please give the superior talent, Tom, another chance, Mr. Guardian. I wish to keep him.” After Darren put forward his request, both Tom and Boyce were stunned.
Boyce had not mentioned Tom's request to Darren. To his surprise, Darren asked voluntarily. Darren's thoughtfulness touched both Boyce and Tom. In that instance, they felt a sudden surge of emotions, which brought them to tears.
