Death… And Me

Chapter 58 - Surprise

Back in the Varen Tribe, Rean and Roan were not wasting time. During these last three weeks, their cultivation had been increasing smoothly. By now, they already can feel signs of entering the Middle Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm.

Other than that, the classes continued. Inna Malaka got even more proficient in her Staff while Rivio started to show results with his Spear. Rivio was absolutely not Inna's match, but he was the only one who dared to challenge her other than Rean and Roan.??

Rean's Swordsmanship was improving as fast as Inna's Staff. Considering that he also has an adult mind, his progress was more polished, though. As for Roan, he didn't really need to practice with weapons at the moment. Only when there was Spiritual Energy involved would he put some thought on it.

Three days ago, Roan's manual of Swordsmanship, the Death Style, finally caused a change.

[Congratulations, hosts. The Varen Tribe's whole power has increased thanks to the new Sword Style. Hosts are rewarded with 10 Destiny Points. More points will be generated once a few warriors of the Tribe Master the Death Style.]

Although Rean and Roan were happy to hear that, 10 destiny points wouldn't have any use at the moment, so they kept their training days.

Finally, an entire month went by, and Juri returned with the first fruits of their efforts. After calling Alanda, Rean, and Roan over, he started to give a full explanation of the events in the city.

"During the first three weeks, we were still not in a partnership with the Zafa bank. That means that we sold the 300 Steel Swords on our own, and didn't have to share their payments. In total, almost 60 thousand Spirit Stones were earned during that time. After that, we started to forge Steel Equipment again. Also, because of the spread of the Varen Workshop's name, quite a few customers were waiting for it to be opened."

"Still, I decided to not mix the Spirit Stones earned before the partnership with the ones acquired after. So I only brought the ones from the first Steel Swords. You know, these 60 thousand Spirit Stones are more than what our entire Tribe can make after three whole months of work in the Mine. We just took three weeks to do such a thing. Rean, are you sure you only want 30%? I really don't mind offering more. You are helping of Tribe Greatly at the moment."

Rean shook his head.

"Just make sure to distribute a good amount to the kids in our class. 30% is more than enough for Roan and me. Seventeen thousand is truly an amount that we won't be able to consume anytime soon. Oh, right. Inna Malaka is really improving extremely fast, so give her some extra ones. Her blue aptitude is really frightening."

Alanda couldn't help but sigh.

"Her progress is frightening? What about you two then? Even your cultivation speed is higher than anyone. The only reason Inna is improving faster is that her cultivation is lower than yours. Once she reaches your level, she definitely won't be able to compare."

Roan shook his head.

"Our case is too special. Using us as a comparison is not the right thing to do."

Juri nodded and didn't ask anymore. He then applied 10% of those Spirit Stones in the new class and had Alanda taking care of the rest.

The next day, the entire Tribe went in an uproar. Suddenly, all the payments of Spirit Stones for the warriors and ordinary people increased. Although it wasn't much since the Tribe has over 10 thousand people, it was still a happy event for everyone.

Rean and Roan's classes received the most significant boost. 10% of the 60 thousand Spirit Stones were injected there. Inna Malaka's family was the most shocked to see those spirit stones. After all, she brought home almost 500 of them! Together, Alanda explained the situation.

"As you know, she is a Blue Level talent, so the Tribe is investing in her future. Make sure to support her accordingly, and don't waste the Spirit Stones."

Her family quickly accepted Alanda's words. Those Spirit Stones would indeed help her a lot with her path of cultivation. Of course, Inna is still clueless about her real Aptitude Color.

Rean and Roan returned home with a few big boxes. However, no one knew what was inside. Even the warriors carrying it had no idea. Rean called Diakar and Opril inside and then closed the entire house. Now, only his parents, Roan, and their two protectors were present.

Turen and Hamarlia couldn't help but feel puzzled by that situation.

"Rean, what is happening here? And what are all those boxes?"

Rean smiled and then kicked one of the boxes open. Immediately, spiritual energy started to flow out due to a large amount of Spirit Stones inside. Seeing that, both their parents and protectors were shocked! They had never seen so many Spirit Stones before.

But instead of happiness, Turen, the twin's father, got concerned instead.

"Rean, Roan, what is the meaning of this? Where did all those Spirit Stones come from?"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Hearing that, Rean and Roan faintly smiled. The people in this room don't know about their past lives, so they needed someone more influential to clarify the things for Diakar, Opril, Turen, and Hamarlia.

When Hamarlia opened the door, she almost had a fright.

"Tr-Tribe Leader Juri! Please, quickly, come in!"

Opril, Diakar, and Turen immediately stood up and bowed to Juri.

Juri smiled and nodded.

"I see that you already received the Spirit Stones I gave you."

Hamarlia and Turen were taken aback.

"Was is Tribe Leader who gave it to us? How could be there so many?"

Juri laughed and then explained.

"Don't worry, this is the correct amount. You just have to understand that Rean and Roan made an enormous contribution to the Tribe, so this is their payment. They also asked me if they could let you use those Spirit Stones, and I agreed. I'm only here to put your minds at ease. Unfortunately, I can't let them tell you how they helped the Tribe at the moment since it is a secret. I hope you don't mind."

Turen and Alanda wee still shocked by it. But since the one who came was Juri, they could only accept. As long as their children didn't do anything wrong, then it is okay.

"Thank you, Tribe Leader. We understand."

Juri nodded before turning around and leaving.

Hamarlia, Turen, Diakar, and Opril looked at the twins and didn't know what to say.

Rean, on the other hand, just laughed.

"Father, Mother, there is no need to worry too much. Tribe Leader already confirmed that there is no problem, so go ahead and use the Spirit Stones. Diakar and Opril are free to use it too. As our protectors, you need to get strong as well."

In the end, they could only nod.
