Omni-Mastery

Chapter 324 - Recruitment Offers



"Mhm…" a black robbed guy nodded in acknowledgement while still sitting in his place, it did seem lackluster when compared to the body strengthening sect's representative's recruitment, but it did mean that Sean was accepted as the organizer had already moved his eyes to Clara. 

'That's not a bad choice considering his path…'

Taking a quick look at Sean who seemed very serious about his decision, I could at least confirm that it was a pretty good choice.

Although there were more specialized sects that he could choose to enter that would have suited him better, joining the 'Cult of Elements' as a pure elemental master was probably a better choice, they were one of the three top sects after all…

'Well, their bad eccentric reputation is a bit concerning though…'

It wasn't my choice anyway, it was Sean's, I had only thought about it because I had a good impression of him, but that was it… or well, it wasn't.

There was still the matter they discussed before which had left me a bit curious, but I obviously didn't plan to waste my time trying to figure it out, especially when I had my own urgent plan going on.

'Oh…'

Sean's eye turned towards me for a second after his part was done, his simple look strangely seemed to contain mixed emotions…

I would have naturally greeted them in the participants platform that we waited in before the ceremony started, but for some reason, they had only arrived at the exact time for the ceremony as the organizer hurriedly explained what they should do since they didn't manage to hear his instructions that he had told us earlier.

'We were told to go an hour early for a reason…'

"I wish to join the 'Elemental Blade Sect'," Clara simply gave a slight bow as she announced her choice in a light voice, her style was completely different to Sean's.

"We accept your request, you are considered a part of the Elemental Blade starting from now!" a green haired elder stood up as he announced, proving that the representative of the cult was the strange one for reacting so silently.

The fact reason as to why the chosen sects have to agree laid in the rank of Sean and Clara who didn't manage to get into the top 5, whose choice couldn't be rejected, unlike the top 5~10 who could be rejected by the top 10 dominant sects.

Of course, this rule was only put to give the top sects some leeway in case the rankers were very mediocre for a certain year, sparing them the burden of having to heavily nurture a recruit with a normal talent just because of their ranking status, but acting on this rule was mostly unheard of, according to the 'What You Need To Know About The Tournament' booklet.

Clara's choice being different from Sean's did surprise me as it was slightly out of my expectations, after all, siblings, especially ones that were as close as Sean and Clara, would have probably chosen to join the same sect as they could support each other, but considering Clara's specialization, the choice wasn't totally out of place.

There was the chance that they were doing this in consideration of both their future, and it also might have to do with…

'Did they also join the tournament with ulterior motives like I did…?'

It was quite a small possibility, but the bizarre happenings that I met since my entrance to 'The Lost Realm' confirmed that even the lowest possibility could sometime be the only possibility that becomes the reality at the very end.

The organizer's gaze finally landed on me, indicating it was about time for me to make a choice, as I soon felt a slight shiver from the huge number of eyes that were concentrated on me, and it turned out that wasn't the end.

'Choose our cult, we will ensure that you will get all the resources and training that you deserve, your multi-element talent is simply a treasure! You can't waste it by joining that wasteful Elemental Blade, they have too much in their hands, they are unlikely to treasure your talent as much as we will do!'

'I'm pretty sure that shy dark robed fanatic has already tried to tell you not to join the Elemental Blade, it's up to you of course, but I have to advise you not to join them as well, it's hard to know what will become of you if you do join them. On the contrary, the sect master had already taken notice of your talent and instructed me to deliver a message that he will give you the chance to contend for the position of being his personal apprentice, choose wisely…'

As soon as I took my step forward, two mental messages had already came knocking, which I checked without hesitation, which turned out to be 'Sect Invitations'...

One of them sounded more like a fanatic threat of sorts, while the other seemed to be more of an 'invitation', bringing with it good news to me...

'We had already obtained a sample of the 'Omni-Element Crystals', it's only a matter of time before we will be able to develop an 'Acceleration' method for atmospheric absorption of multi-elements… Naturally, you will be the first one to benefit from it, so it's better if you consider well…'

It didn't even take a second before I received the continuance of the cult's 'invitation', though it didn't really mean much by now

'This might have worked on others, but unfortunately…'

Not only did I have my own methods of increasing my own elemental base, but my own elemental system had already diverted from the common path, so their methods were unlikely to be of any use to me, so even if I wasn't comfortable about their shady actions, their offers held little to no meaning for me.

"I choose to join the 'Elemental Blade Sect'..."

'I had already received a much better offer…'
