“Will there be worthy opponents for us?”
Yale was really interested in battle others, but as Aiwai had said that it was restricted to half-beasts under the age of fifteen, he felt that it would be boring.
Yale had seen a lot of half-beasts before meeting Aiwai, but he had never met someone young who could become a worthy opponent for himself.
“Almost all the other participants are trash without hopes, but there will also be some geniuses with powerful bloodlines; they are the opponents I want you two to battle. In fact, since you will be among the youngest ones in the training camp, I am not expecting that you win. You must gather experience; the rewards are good resources for training and the reputation you will obtain. We have more than enough resources, and I doubt you two care about reputation.”
Most of the powerful participants didn’t care about the resources; they were only looking for the reputation. The ones who cared about such resources weren’t powerful enough to obtain them, at most they could obtain some good thing if there were a lack of good participants.
Yale hadn’t met anyone worthy before due to him being in areas that no one wanted to claim, and the weaklings were the only ones living there, but the situation was different at that moment as the area they lived and also where the city was located was a place that even the Bear Overlord wanted to control.
The Bear Overlord’s disappearance was something that caused a big stir, but there was no one who tried to move after his organization disappeared completely.
The main reason for that was fear, fear of the expert who managed to kill a Rank 8 expert and eradicate the whole organization in a single day. There weren’t any corpses, but there was blood in all the bases from when Aiwai killed them and didn’t bother to clean the scene more than collecting the corpses. Thus, the truth was obvious; they disappeared because they were eradicated until ceasing to exist.
No one dared to rashly try to control any place in the area, but they wanted to expand their influence, so every power decided to send their most powerful children to that camp. They felt that claiming the area would anger that expert, but increasing their influence relying on the younger generation wouldn’t be an offense to that expert.
That was the true reason Aiwai wanted Yale and Wyba to join, in a normal time, there wouldn’t be almost any competition as the true geniuses wouldn’t be interested in participating, but that occasion was special as all the powers would be interested in showing their geniuses to the others. That was a great occasion as it was difficult to gather all the geniuses in the area in one place.
All the powerful organizations had been absorbed by the Bear Overlord, but there were other experts who weren’t interested in making an organization who didn’t join the Bear Overlord.
Yale knew due to the soul-search, that the Bear Overlord didn’t consider them a threat and planned to deal with them later, instead of absorbing them at the start like the organizations that held power in the area.
“I see, that will be interesting.”
Even if Aiwai didn’t tell anything about the truth of the geniuses presence, Yale was able to guess it correctly. He wanted to battle to the so-called half-beast geniuses and use that battle experience to break his bottlenecks.
“Wyba also needs to participate? Wyba doesn’t want to battle against big bro!”
Wyba always refused to battle against Yale. Although she didn’t like battling, she put all her effort into it to please her siblings, but no matter what, she refused to battle against Yale.
Yale also didn’t want to battle against Wyba, and he knew very well that Aiwai knew it and wouldn’t force them to battle against each other.
“You will participate as that is something you need to obtain some experience. However, you won’t battle against Yale, boys and girls battled separated since some guys caused some problems to girls in the past and angered some powerful people who were backing those girls… Don’t ask for details; you are too young to hear them.”
Wyba didn’t understand the reasons for the separation, but she was happy knowing that she wouldn’t need to battle against her big brother.
“Sis… What will happens if someone started to kill others?”
Yale wasn’t worried about his own life, but he was worried by Wyba’s life.
“Killing is forbidden, but it is difficult to prevent accidents. Everyone would have a token with a powerful barrier to avoid being killed one if broke, but breaking that token will be the same as forfeiting. Furthermore, you need to break the token manually to activate the barrier.”
The token didn’t have any automatic activation effect; it would only activate when the token breaks, so it was possible to kill other by accident.
“Wyba, be sure to be always ready to break that token.”
Yale was worried because it would be easy for someone looking to provoke accidents. Since he didn’t know the opponents, he wanted Wyba to be careful.
Wyba nodded. She wasn’t feeling that her brother was underestimating her, she knew that Yale was only worried by her.
“Right, both of you should abandon at the sight of any danger. It isn’t like the rewards had any meaning to us, and the rewards are decided by the final position. There are some rewards to even the Top 50, so you two shouldn’t feel bad if you need to forfeit early.”
Aiwai started to explain more thing about the training camp.
Hearing about the rewards, Yale was sure that most of the ordinary half-beasts would be glad to obtain the rewards for the Top 50 or the Top 25. There were better rewards for the Top 10, Top 5 and the ones who ended, in third, second and first position, but for those half-beasts with common bloodline and without a great background, being in the Top 10 by luck was the best they could expect.
For Yale and Wyba, even the rewards for the first place weren’t that valuable since they obtained the possessions of the Bear Overlord and his lackeys.
Hearing the rewards he would obtain, Yale wasn’t even planning to battle seriously, he planned to restrain himself to user martial arts and archery to try to advance in them. Unless someone angered him, he didn’t plan to show his full power as winning or losing didn’t mean a lot to him.
When Yale had set up his mind to restrain himself the system reacted.
“New Dynamic Quest: Battle in the training camp competition. Reward: Martial Arts (grade variable). Top 50: Lowest Grade. Top 25: Low Grade. Top 10: Mid-low Grade. Top 5: Mid Grade. Top 3: Mid-high Grade. Top 2: High Grade. Top 1: Perfect Grade.”
Yale smiled after hearing the notification and then sighed.
“In the end, I will need to give my all. I want the Martial Arts Innate Talent at the Perfect Grade after all.”
Yale noticed that the rewards were at the same positions that Aiwai had explained to him before he received the notification. Yale felt that it was like the system had made some better rewards as the original ones weren’t enticing enough for Yale.
He didn’t understand very well how the Dynamic Quests worked, but there was a similar dynamic quest in the Nacesai Academy.
Yale had guessed that in the academy the purpose of the quest was to force him obtaining a spot to the special realm. Thus, seeing a similar quest, Yale felt that something important would happen if he battled seriously.
The system was clearly telling him to win that competition in the training camp and following the system’s guidance had helped Yale a lot in the past, he didn’t doubt that if the system wanted him to win there would be a good reason.
After Aiwai explained some more thing to Yale and Wyba regarding the training camp, she gave them more gifts.
There were a lot of things, including weapons made by her. Yale wasn’t planning to use the Space-time Judgment Sword from the start, and he feared that the good weapons of the Bandit Overlord might catch attention, so using weapons made by Aiwai was better for showing to others in the training camp.
There wasn’t any restriction about weapons or items in the training camp; the wealth was also considered a form of power, no one would complain if others had better defensive clothes or better weapons.
