All of the people in the ceremony hall were excited and some were regretting their decision not to get involved in the war seeing all the gifts Velian gave to those who helped him.
Those who got something from him were checking their gifts with exciting looks,
"Brother, why are you giving these valuable things for free?" Delvi knew he was going to do something but, she didn't know that he will give all these things without taking anything.
"They are not valuable to us, so why don't we give them to someone who will use them," Delvi still doesn't know full information about the treasure Velian and Daphnia found but, she guessed that it must be something valuable.
It's not Daphnia or Velian who was hesitating to tell her about it but, Delviny who was never interested in knowing about it. She didn't mind as long as it was not something dangerous for them.
"It will be useless if they don't obey your orders, these people cannot be trusted, brother," Delvi's words made sense because it has been only been a few months since they got to know him.
Velian looked at Delvi with a little chuckle,
"If they ever betray me, I will take two times what I gave them," Delvi was amazed by his words. She knew he wasn't naive enough but, she didn't expect him to be this anti-sensitive.
"I thought I'm the cruel one, looks like I'm wrong," She said while laughing at his words.
"Do you dislike it?" Velian asked while looking at her.
"Opposite! I quite like it,"
While they were talking with each other, the crowd was getting ready for the second stage of the ceremony, where the most prominent people are going to get gifts.
Some people were already guessing the name of suitable people while assuming what they are going to get,
"I think probably a good sword,"
"Don't be stupid, didn't you see he won't give anything that cannot be used,"
"Do you think I'm suitable for this?"
Sariya was listening to all this chatter while standing with everyone else, even though she acted as a leader, her position wasn't permanent. She expected at least Velian wouldn't abandon their family.
Velian finished his talk with his sister and looked at all the people who were looking at the high stage,
"If I announce your name, come forward," He said with a high-pitched voice.
"First, Noah come forward," Right after Velian announced the name, a blonde-haired guy came forward with a smile.
"He valiantly rushed alongside the army and got the most kills in the battle only second to Remi," Everyone couldn't help but open their eyes at such a young talent. The cause for this is, he was a teenager just like Velian.
"You did a great job holding enemies and supporting Remi and others, You will be assigned as a battalion commander in two weeks and for now take this," Velian said while handing him over a sword which is a bit unusual from the others.
"This is?" He didn't know what metal it was or how strong it was but with Velian appraisal skill, he easily identified it.
He gratefully took it because no matter what the gift was, he always idolized Velian who was the same age as him and already accomplished so much, he was thankful to receive something from him.
But, he was wrong, right after he touched the sword his mana started to run wild and suck into the sword. He panicked for a minute but, it took only a few seconds for him to feel comfortable again.
"Congratulations, the sword doesn't reject you," At first Noah didn't understand his words but, suddenly he realised what this sword was.
"No! No! It can't be," He felt his whole getting hot just imagining it.
The crowd was confused including Sariya, Elda and Remi, about what is happening to him.
"Young master, is it okay if I tell others about this?" Noah wasn't just a muscled brute, so he knew telling about his gift to the others might bring some controversy.
"It's okay, for now, you can do a simple spell, you have the water element right," Noah was confused about how he knew so much about him, Velian never investigated him or anything so his idolizing for him increased even more.
He quickly turned in the direction of the crowd and unsheathed his sword so fast, chanting a simple spell. Even though he cannot do advanced spells, his mana was a little high for a normal swordsman.
Suddenly, a beautiful blue colour water line started to envelop the sword like a snake bringing chaos to the crowd,
"What's that?"
"It's a basic magic spell, but how can he do it with a sword, don't tell me,"
They started to argue among themselves, Sariya, Elda, Juno and Remi were also surprised by this turn of events,
"Is that what I think it is?" Juno's voice was filled with excitement and joy seeing it.
"It's a magic sword, damn I didn't think he had those, why didn't he give me one?" She questioned with jealousy.
"What's a magic sword?" Elda questioned her innocently. She was never a battle enthusiast so she didn't one about it very much.
"It's a special kind of sword, which is stronger and more durable than a normal sword and attack power totally depends on the user's ability and mana, I'm jealous, why didn't he give it to me?" If Noah heard Juno's words, he would have definitely challenged her to a duel trying to steal his precious sword.
Everyone noticed that Naomi wasn't surprised by this turn of events,
"You don't seem impressed, did you know about this before?" Remi questioned her.
"I didn't but it's expected from my master," hearing her answer, Juno and Remi couldn't help but chuckle.
"Haha~ you're right, I was foolish to think he will peacefully end this ceremony,"
Right after, he sheathed the sword the ceremony hall became silent showing how impactful this was to them, magic swords were not a rare instance but, most of them were hard to use or sometimes almost useless because the mana absorption is not that great in normal mana swords.
"Everyone give a big round of applause for this young man," All of them broke from their daze and started to cheer him while a few were gritting their teeth in the crowd.
"I expect great things from you, Noah," Velian encouraged him, to which he gave a heartfelt smile.
"Yes! young master," With his last words, he went back to his position.
"Shall we go to the mind-blowing part now?" Velian couldn't even imagine what would happen in this hall after his next steps.
