Chapter 2901: Distribution
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Didi made his way through the crowd, pushing everyone aside to get to where Rean was located. Finally, he patted Rean's head and laughed out loud. "Hahaha! Good! Good! Good! What an absolutely amazing display, Rean. I had my doubts when Clansto came to ask to let you join the fights, but you didn't disappoint at all."
Rean was a little surprised by that. Considering hi own movements, one would find hard pressed to believe he was just a lost kid. Rean thought Didi would at least show some suspicion. Yet, Didi was happier than ever. Of course, Rean wasn't an idiot. It was definitely because of the strong reaction he got from the invisible crystal above the field. "T-Thank you, Chief Didi. I hope I managed to do enough to get a Werdlem Stone."
Didi nodded and looked at Clansto in the midst of the crowd. "Clansto, you did the right thing in saving this child and his brother. They will be great assets for our village in the future. Rean here will get a Werdlem Stone regardless of the result of the other age competitions' results." Clansto joined in the laughter, nodding in agreement. "Hahaha! But of course! He knows how to fight better than any of the kids."
Clansto and the others couldn't see the crystal above the field, so they weren't really surprised by Didi's decision. There were some suspicious eyes, but no one would go against Didi's words. Besides... Rean truly fought beautifully. Even some of the Energy Gathering Realm experts watching didn't know if they could beat Rean after what they saw.
Rean bowed to Didi and then walked to the kid he just defeated. "Larson, you also got to the finals, don't forget that. Tomorrow, I will teach you and the others how to train so that you can do great when the next stones arrive."
Larson slowly got up and nodded. "You said that already. I'll pay a visit to you tomorrow morning... or after the pain goes away."
He continued. "As for those who will turn sixteen before the arrival of the next stones, you are still important members of our village. You are no less important than any of the Werdlem Stone holders. I hope you all will grow to support each other. Now, the results."
"Rean Larks, twelve years old, gets one of the stones for the men."
"Kalisto Rerge, nine years old, gets one of the stones for the men."
"Polie Lafadio, ten years old, gets one of the stones for the women."
"Cassandra Eijixin, seven years old, gets one of the stones for the women."
Rean and Roan weren't surprised by those choices. By observing the floating green crystal and the energy released by it, they knew very well who Didi was going to select, and that proved to be true.
Didi then brought the stones out. "The winners and their families can come with me to my residence. We will now infuse the stones into your bodies. After this, you all will be able to cultivate, just like the other warriors of our village. Thanks, everyone, for watching today's event. Anyway, kids, follow me."
