All over the empire, in various cities was flyers released very early in the morning regarding the upcoming guardain selection tournament which would be commencing very soon.
The aim of these flyers was to gather more people who would be participating in the selection, either as participants or as a group of onlookers.
Since the opinions of the onlookers weigh more in regard to those participating with little to no backing and support as a guardian aspirant.
One sure way of making it as a guardian, was to gain immense backing through recognition from the masses, as a result of a promising potential which they displayed during the selection.
One reason why the masses were given a upper right to vote in regards to all participants who participated was to equip the guardians with sense of service to the inhabitants of the empire, since all inhabitants from various cities would be watching the tournament.
As well as given right to cast their votes on a candidate
In Jabe city,
It was eight in the morning, and human activity has just began in the city.
At Tek’s place, he was already inside the coffee along with Ren who was helping him clean up the place.
Tek lived not too far from the coffee shop which made him always arrive early when coming to the coffee shop, regardless of how old he was; he still kept on going to his shop on a daily basis.
Since it held the last memory of his late wife, how she was always keen on working there along with Tek at a good old age; was her very dream.
Ren said ** gramp Tek, you should have considered resting today.
Since I’m here now and the only way of thanking you for your hospitality is to work here and let you rest ** Ren spoke with much concern towards him.
Tek smiled at Ren for her kind thoughts towards him while he said ** you could say I’m in love with my coffee shop, which makes me always up every morning I wake up ** he said in his baritone voice.
He’s words caused Ren to shake her head at his persistent attitude of not resting. New chapters come out on g.com first.
Ren knew how the struggle of making it in the city, along with how countless numbers of people in the city would not take pity on an orphan like them, the way the old man did.
She said ** alright then come sit and let me do all the work ** while walking towards him and taking the cloth which he used in cleaning the table from his hands.
Tek didn’t resist her advance anymore since he saw her good intentions towards him and he smiled while taking a seat and she began cleaning the tables in the shop, while he stared out the little glass installed in the door by the side.
Couple of minutes pass and Ted ran into the shop with a healthy glow in his face while he ran towards Tek, he said at loud ** gramps, gramps come look at this!!!
Ted came closer to him and said ** look at this gramps, it’s a flyer released this morning all over the city **.
Tek took the flyer in his hands while he took out his glasses from his breast pocket of his jacket and put it on.
Tek saw the words written in it # Guardian selection tournament # in which made him go through all the words written in the flyers and reminiscing over how long it had been since the last guardians selection tournament in the empire.
It was three years ago back then when he was part of the people who were all riled up in anticipation of making Skull as well as other people who participated from Jabe city to gain an immense support.
Since the only means of gaining a pass into the guild was either much power or influence, he chose what he knew he could do which was being Skull’s mentor back then.
As well as enlightening him on all the stages which various competitors had to go through, his means help Skull greatly which made Skull never take his info for granted on any issues of the empire which he passed to him.
Though he still wasn’t very clear about all the happenings and issues in the empire, still he prioritize his means on getting certain information which were from the right source.
Ted, though being young saw the distance look in gramp Tek’s face which made him tug at his hands; in an attempt of pulling him back from spacing out.
Tek felt the pull from him and he looked towards the kid who was smiling at him while Tek said ** it’s a guardian selection tournament notice ** which made Ted even more excited.
Ted jumped high while saying ** yay, we could get to see the guardian who helped us ** his words made Tek look at him with wide eyes while wondering how the boy knew for certain about the presence of a guardian in their city who helped them.
Ted ran towards Ren who was now outside cleaning the windows from the outside while Tek watched the boy running away, Tek wonder what Skull would be doing now regarding the notice. Find the original chapter at novelping dot com.
At Skull’s apartment,
He sat at the edge of his window while feeling the calm breeze of the afternoon along with the sun which wasn’t hot today.
He held the flyers from the guild in his hand which made him moody, while feeling a sense of lost amidst all emotion.
Skull knew that the world was still moving on regardless of what he had gone through years pass, still he never knew how the feeling would be like when he sees this notice again.
It was like just yesterday when he signed up as a participant for the guardians tournament and now he was still trying to figure out why he joined in the first place.
If it would cause him more bad moments than good, why get involved in anyways; was his model of operation which made him keep of others business.
Even through all this Skull still has to give a satisfactory answer to the guild regarding his absence of duty and turning down all official orders from the guild over the passing year on different assignments.
He rose up from the edge of the window which he sat previously whilst going forward into his apartment with a deep look in his eyes filled with resolution.
While scene of the falling flyers detailing the tournament was seen and discussed all over the empire, meanwhile some few people who were participating were left with higher anticipation.
The participants were all in a journey towards the designated place which the tournament would be held, while others interested in seeing the action also travelled along as well.
Since the tournament was not done every year, but every passing three to four years when the guild was in need of new guardians to relieve the aging ones.
The entire empire was filled with blissful atmosphere towards the display of power regarding the new guardian selection tournament.
