KNOCK! KNOCK!
A sudden knock at the door interrupted Draco's thoughts.
He turned and proceeded to open the door.
"You have finally arrived, Weapon God's Spirit," Lilith said.
Her words sent a shock through Draco as he saw who was standing before him.
"Jessa, what do they an?" Draco looked her in the eyes when he heard Lilith's words.
"How did you know?" Jessa t Lilith's gaze, her expression unreadable.
Lilith, now in human size alongside Xylara, smiled knowingly.
"Well, I had my suspicions. When I first saw you, I felt sothing familiar—sothing we spirits possess. Then, when you knocked right after Master accepted the inheritance, it confird my suspicions. As a spirit, you mustn't be far from your master once he has awakened," Lilith chuckled.
Jessa was surprised. "How inquisitive of you."
As for Draco, he was shocked. How co he never noticed this?
He turned to Jessa, his eyes silently demanding proof.
Jessa smiled at his reaction. Then, with a puff, she shrank into a smaller form.
Draco stared in astonishnt. Not only was her new form unexpected, but he could also see a striking resemblance between her, Xylara, and Lilith.
Jessa giggled at Draco's dumbfounded expression, then dragged him aside and began explaining.
After a few minutes, Draco finally understood everything.
It turned out the Weapon God was behind it all. He had sealed Jessa's mories so she wouldn't reveal anything to Draco until he agreed to fuse with the Weapon God.
Instead, she was given false mories, believing herself to be a re creation. Only after Draco absorbed the inheritance would her true mories return.
Draco sighed.
Knowing now that both he and Darwin were clones of Xandros, it made sense why their spirits were the sa.
After absorbing this revelation and finishing his conversation with Jessa, another knock sounded at the door.
Draco stepped forward and opened it. Seeing the people standing outside, he raised an eyebrow.
"Blum, Ming, Daniel? What are you guys doing here?"
He had expected the girls, but seeing the guys was an unexpected surprise.
"Well, we were called here. The girls are already waiting—it's said that your attention is needed," Blum chuckled.
"Oh really? Give a few minutes to change," Draco replied.
Within monts, they were on their way to the eting location.
"So, what is this about? Why were we summoned?" Draco asked.
The boys shrugged. "No idea."
It turned out their destination was the conference room of the Royal Academy.
Upon arriving, Draco noticed sothing odd—the representatives of the top five academies were present, along with the students who had competed in the previous round.
But what confused him most was—why were they all gathered?
And more importantly—why was the Vice Chancellor of the Royal Academy here?
"Oh, Draco, you're here. Co over," Tera called out.
Draco nodded and walked toward him.
As he moved, the other representatives turned their gazes toward him. So even released a little pressure, as if testing him.
Draco rely chuckled at their silly ga.
Yes, this is what he calls it—a ga.
He wasn't intimidated. If anything, had he known each of their strengths, he might have even claid he was stronger than them.
"Ahem!"
Ken, one of the representatives, cleared his throat, his lips curling into a smirk.
"You must all be wondering why you were summoned," he said, glancing at the students' confused expressions.
Then, he chuckled.
"Well, the contest isn't over yet."
His words were like a bombshell, throwing the students into confusion.
Murmurs spread through the crowd—what did he an?
Hadn't the contest already ended?
"You all competed in your respective academies to prove your worth for the Academy Contest, correct?" Tera asked.
The students nodded in agreent.
"Well, the sa principle applies here. The academies need to select their strongest young talents to participate in a much greater competition—a Universal Contest."
Tera's words shook the crowd.
The students exchanged shocked glances, their voices rising with excitent and disbelief.
Draco, too, was taken aback.
He never expected that there would be more to this contest than what had already been revealed.
Ding!
Speaking of the devil, Draco sighed.
[New mission issued]
Mission 1: Beco the number one in the Academy Contest, bringing Cerulean to victory.
Penalty: Level will reset to zero.
Mission 2: Let your na spread across the universe.
Ti Limit: 4 years.
Penalty: Removal of all classes, destruction of that little brother down there.
When Draco read the second mission's penalty, he unknowingly shivered. The system was really forcing him to do this mission.
Looking at the ti limit and objectives, he was surprised.
Why did the system want his na known throughout the universe? Wouldn't that just bring disaster upon him if those outlanders sniffed him out?
"Hope nothing is wrong?" Tera asked, noticing Draco's shiver.
Draco forced a smile and shook his head. "Nothing happened."
"In three months, we will leave Cerulean and head to the outside world," Ken announced.
When the students heard this, they were shocked—and excited.
It seed like the real competition was about to begin.
After discussing several matters, they learned that Cerulean was not the only kingdom participating.
There were various races taking part in the contest, and even the Royal Academy itself would compete.
So students from other academies felt angry upon hearing this, but when they saw that their representatives did not complain, they kept quiet.
"Oh yes, Draco, before you go, this is your reward," Tera called out.
When the other representatives saw what Tera was giving Draco, they twitched in anger.
The reason?
The rewards were what Tera had won from them in their bet.
When Draco saw the pile of rewards, he was stunned.
Most of them weren't useful to him yet, but he was still touched by the generosity of Luminari Academy.
"Don't worry, the academy can keep them. I don't have any use for them," Draco said.
Hearing this, Tera shook his head.
"You must pick sothing—at least one."
Draco refused, but Tera insisted, leaving him no choice but to pick one item.
Draco carefully examined the rewards, searching for sothing useful.
Then, his eyes landed on a Weapon Design.
He picked it up and saw that it was a Gauntlet Design weapon.
When Tera saw Draco's choice, he glanced at Ken, who simply smiled.
It was common knowledge that almost no one used gauntlets.
Those who did were as rare as qilin feathers.
"No wonder he was generous enough to stake this in the bet," Tera muttered.
Draco examined the design closely.
If he could fix its flaws, the weapon created from it would be incredibly powerful.
At the sa ti, he felt an urge to forge a weapon—one he planned to give to Caesar.
Tera didn't stop there.
He also told Blum and Ming to pick a reward, improving Draco's opinion of him.
