Alex thanked the man. It was a little late, but he supposed getting that information was good nonetheless. "This probably doesn't matter to you, but we've also received some information about those who have been paying this man to attack random disciples of the tournament's participants. Sadly, we can't do much about them as it is outside our jurisdiction. We'll try to report it to the competition though." "Anything is better than nothing, senior" Alex said and greeted the man farewell, watching him leave. Aethersage finally walked out of the room, seemingly a little tired. He talked with his disciple for a while and learned from him what had happened. "You guys were targeted?" Aethersage asked, his otherwise carefree persona getting serious all of a sudden. "It's over with," Alex said. "We've dealt with it already." Aethersage was still angry. "Those bastards that go after the young disciples are despicable. What could they gain from killing such young men and women? It doesn't even disqualify the alchemist from the competition. It's just senseless death." "It's the work of the insecure to drag down others because they have no confidence in their own skills," Alex said. "As long as there are other avenues for them to succeed even the tiniest bit, they will take it." Aethersage grumbled a little but said nothing else. "Let's talk about you, Brother Aethersage. You got the inheritance. I want to learn more about it if you don't mind," Alex said. "There's nothing much to say really," Aethersage said. "There were some tests that I took and completed very quickly. The spirit was very happy with my performance and decided to bond with me." "The... spirit?" Alex asked. "Cauldron Spirit; Moonshard's spirit," Aethersage elaborated. "The Alchemy God left his cauldron to test for the next person who could be eligible to get his knowledge. And I was accepted." "Oh... wow!" Alex hadn't expected the inheritance to be transferred by a cauldron spirit at all. "So you now have a cauldron that has a spirit inside of it?" "Yes," Aethersage said, smiling widely. "I'm happy for you, Brother Aethersage." "Thanks," Aethersage said. "I'm glad you didn't join. With your talent, you could've stolen it from me." Alex chuckled. "I doubt that. You are way more talented than me, especially considering just how recently you only started practicing Alchemy. Sooner or later, you'll surpass me."
