Chapter 64: Legend

The people of Rewa city held their breath the moment they heard the word.

A chance to become a student of a prestigious Star Academy!

Star Academy is equivalent to the main branch of a 3-star sect.

It was tied to the future of many youths of Rewa city 

The members of the three clans were especially excited. They were so excited that they had trouble breathing.

This was such a good opportunity!

They did not harbor any hope at directly passing the Star Kingdom's selection event, but if they win the challenger league, then they can be the first person from Rewa city to become a student of Star Academy.

Furthermore, The Kingdom's selection was rarely held in the Cloud Region. There was a lack of resources in the Cloud Region, so the warriors' average strength was low. Since the population distribution was sparse, it wasn't easy to hold an examination. To ensure that all the Cloud region peoples could participate in an examination would involve large amounts of workforce and resources.

Mitchell Broad knew that the poor people of this city don't deserve to be enrolled in the prominent Star Academy. However, the princess orders him to bestow them 2-slots. He knew that the princess of the Star kingdom was an innocent and naive girl. She doesn't understand much politics behind the King's back; the official was just using her to get the last two slots for their clan. 

'Thank god, She realizes their scheme and strictly prohibited anyone from the Royal clans to participate in the so-called Challenger League.'

Although some persistent bastards will try hard to get their hands on one of the slots.

When making a selection for the free slots from the outer region of the Kingdom where the flow of energy is limited, it was hard to even select a single person due to the poor environment.

Every year, Star Academy reserves four slots for the commoners. But this year, two slots were given to Rewa city in the compassion for the Massacre, which happened two years ago as all the villages come under the Rewa city region.

A city which is named after a famous cultivator, Rewan. Mitchell thought maybe a genius is hidden between them.

But very quickly, Mitchell realized that he had underestimated the extent of the poor quality of men in the vast outer region of the kingdom. He began to understand that there was no such thing as worst, only worse.

With his innate trait, Mitchell could roughly see the will of a person except for the one who sealed their mind. 

'The will of the people who live in the wilderness is very low compared to the capital. Even after joining the Star Academy, they could most probably become a servant of nobles.' Mitchell thought while looking at his surroundings.

Suddenly, he saw a dark shade that was gleaming unusually.

If a person has a high will, Mitchell could see a bright light covering them. In case of a low will, a light glow covers their body.

But a light which exudes its brightness from the body was something he never saw. 

This is… " Mitchell stares in surprise.

How could this be?

His brows began to twitch as he refused to believe the situation he was in. 

He injected another surge of Qi into his eyes to check out again.

"He… "Mitchell was shocked. In his life, he never saw such a phenomenon.

Instantly he jumps out from the huge beast and approaches the source of fading light. He had to confirm the reason for the abnormality of his innate talent or he'll die thinking. 

Seeing Mitchell's jumping from the beast and walking in a particular direction. All the people give him space for his walk.

"What is your name, Kid?" 

"Kritos Rathore, sir."

'Ahh! Rathore… the ancient Rathores...no, no, how can a commoner compare to them.'

"What is your cultivation realm and rank?" Mitchell ask

Unexpectedly a voice come from the front ends

"Respected Lord, he can't cultivate throughout his whole life. In the awakening ceremony, he didn't awaken any soul beast, even a lowly mortal soul beast." Said James 

James was the boy from the Augusta Clan who previously mocked Sanju by saying Sanju isn't qualified for Clara. (Chapter 13 and 14)

"Did I ask you? Do your own business." Mitchell glared at James. 

"Tell me, boy, what is your cultivation realm?"

Kritos hesitates; he doesn't want to reveal that he can now cultivate, but eventually, everyone will know in a few months.

"Sir, I'm stuck in the peak of the mortal realm for a long time. However, a few days ago, I suddenly stepped into Apprentice Realm."

Kritos paused when he heard the uproar from the surroundings.

"So, you are a late awakener. Right!" Mitchell chuckled. Now, he knows the reason for the unusual behavior of his innate trait. The late one believes to have the abnormal innate trait. That's why he doesn't think much.

Unexpectedly, Mitchell starts laughing, "Haha, The late one. So, the legend of the Late one is true. Tch! It's been almost two thousand years since a late one appeared in the Sincromas world. How could it suddenly appear in a wilderness?."

The abrupt commotion startled the big square, from the elders to young peoples. 

Everyone's eyes were focused on Kritos Rathore.

The periphery of the crowd who could not see the situation did not know what had happened. Their interest was piqued after hearing the late one by someone.

People in the boundary started jumping to catch a glimpse at the boy who was a late awakener. 

Most of them don't dare to associate the late awakener with the late one.

How could this be? James felt like he had eaten a pound of sh*t, leaving a spectacular expression on his face.

The other young cultivators were all dumbfounded as their mouths gaped.

"This bastard is a late one? How could this be!" James clenched his fists. He could not accept it

Besides, the other person was a son of a peasant 

"This… Lord Mitchell, you say that this kid is a late one? Could you have made a mistake… " Everyone doubted Mitchell's words, but only James could not keep it in and asked dumbly.

The late one is just a legend for the people of Rewa city. 

Mitchell's face turned solemn and said coldly, "You doubt me?" 

"Uh… " James was shocked. He shook his head vigorously, "No, I dare not, I wouldn't dare."

This time, they looked at Kritos as if he was a freak. They could not accept the fact!
