Kendra looked at her friends and smiled at them. ""Don"t worry. We will destroy today any Loma"s Guild effort to enter next round. Who wants to go against them?""Everyone simultaneously rose their hands in air with a serious expression. Headmaster proudly stood up and winked at them while loudly proclaiming. ""Good. Today at group fights attack them. Don"t let even one pa.s.s. And if someone attacks you on your way, destroy him as well. Fight, fight!""
His loud voice echoed at suddenly silent s.p.a.ce and many guilds smirked about his pretentious laugh while noting the red robes on his cultivators. They are very easy to target and would be easy to track... right?""
Every round had ten cultivators of every group and only ten would go to the next round. What no one expected was what started happening. As Grounding Fairy Sect had little compet.i.tors they chose to let them compete in last ten rounds with other smaller groups.
What they didn"t expect was actually the cultivators that worked well together and with simple powers attacking other compet.i.tors. Fire and wind would work together, water and electricity, Wind and water, fire and earth, speed and strength are just some they used to work together.
But the fact that they used only simple powers not even better ones, made those that pa.s.sed calmer. They a.s.sumed that this guild knew only simple power points. As the first round ended none of Grounding Fary Sect cultivators has lost and they all calmly sat down on their chairs and nonchalantly just ate, drank and some even played smaller games using their powers. More or less they completely ignored the compet.i.tion and people that sat nearby.
Nearby was sitting pair of witches and they looked at Headmaster. ""You must think they are unbeatable.""
He just shrugged as he looked at Isaa and Kendra playing with few b.u.t.terflies that were flying around their heads. ""Think? Nope I do not think..."" The two witches smiled but then their smile froze as he continued. ""... I know. Thinking is bothersome. I don"t like bothersome things.""
One of the witches looked at him and suddenly had an idea. ""What if we make a deal? If they lose you will give us ten thousand power stones. We heard your Sect is quite wealthy.""
He was about to drink when she said that and so he started coughing. ""It is hard to surprise cultivator and especially someone like him. He was actually not really listening but somehow when he heard her words a drop of water went wrong ay and almost chocked him.""
Kendra patted his head and at the same time cleared his chest of unwanted "" drop"". She smiled at the two witches brightly. ""I heard that witches are quite powerful beings. Why asking for only ten thousand. Should we make the bet a bit bigger? What about one million stones. If we any of us fail next round we will give you one million of power stones but if do pa.s.s, you have to pay taht amount. As powerful witches, you probably have such a small amount on you.""
The witch wanted to curse out but then realized something. ""You do?""
Kendra smiled and shrugged her shoulders. ""Of course. My parents are so rich that they gave me such amount as pocket money. Its just million power stones. Nothing special.""
Looking at her calm and collected expression the witches became speechless. ""Who are your parents actually that you have such money pocket money?""
Isaa chuckled. ""You wouldn"t know them. In our world, such stones are not even worth much. Right now in our world, the most expensive things are spirit fruits and vegetables. They are handled in millions, so for us, million power stones are like someones one or two... Pocket money.""
The two sisters had one table and ate together while they played with cute b.u.t.terflies. Kendra took out a small flower out her ring and put on the table. The amount of spiritual energy started flus.h.i.+ng round and the crowd suddenly started stirring.
This plant was famous in every world. It is just normal tea plant, but the spiritual energy of it was so heavy that many cultivators started rus.h.i.+ng up to see where the smell come from.
Isaa shook her head and took out the red apple in size of a honey melon. As she cut it in pieces she shared it with Headmaster and Kendra, while everyone else stared at them while drooling rivers.
The two witches snapped out daze and sniffled air and realised where the smell came from. ""Is this...""They spoke with a shaky voice. ""Is this a spirit fruit?""
Isaa sighed and gave them two pieces of apple to taste. ""Yes. This spirit apple is of the third rank. Just medium spirit fruit. Think how strong spirit power has first-rate spirit fruit.""
As they nibbled on the fruit many people almost jumped at them to steal it so they rushed to eat it quickly and as they wallowed the pieces, they became dazed...again.
""This, this... How is this even possible?"" One of the Witches jumped while her whole body wiggled in her tight black suit. ""My powers rose even without cultivation. That tiny piece of spirit apple rose my powers worth of at least a few months of cultivation. This... where can I buy it?""
Isaa chuckled. ""At our guild, of course. Spirit trees we have in our guild will be ripe soon. By the way, this is the third rank of spirit fruit, the ones at our sect are the second rank. I fear it will take us a few centuries until one fo the fruit trees produce first ranked fruit.""
But as they spoke the second round of compet.i.tion was announced for the second day so everyone went to their dormitories. By now they already knew that there will be some trouble with this sect and indeed it was. Looking at empty rooms Kendra and Isaa just shook their heads and smiled. ""At least it"s not messy."" Looking at the two domes that suppose to have some beds but had just plain bare floors they started laughing.
The cultivators of Grounding Fairy sect started laughing and soon with the help of lots of water, fire and wind the rooms were in moment sparkling clean. Suddenly comfortable beds appeared inside rooms, each bed with own style and comfort but all brand new and colourful.
Trought the windows other cultivators saw it and just gritted their teeth, but what happened next was even more infuriating. They chose to have dinner in mid of floor that connected dormitories but under free s.p.a.ce. Suddenly a long table filled with all kinds of foods appeared and as they sat down even music could be heard from somewhere and as they ate they joked around, played and even made Headmaster blush as the boys made comments about his marriage.
Just now many sects realized that he was married, but who is the young woman next to him? Is she his wife? They shrugged well that would male sense so they didn"t comment but just as they wanted to fly away they realized the amount of spirit power that came from this place.
The sudden idea made them pale as they looked at a huge amount of food that was left uneaten on the table. With a wave of his hand, Headmaster stored again the food and ordered them to rest while blocking suddenly everyone sights with a black s.h.i.+eld.
A voice from inside could be heard. ""It is enough of watching. Good night."" And then just silence started creeping up from the s.h.i.+eld and as it spread its claws into their hearts, darkness started falling and unknown feeling of danger made them rush away.
Only two individuals stayed longer and after a while, they gave up as well. ""They are stronger than we thought...""
