Fourteen days later.
Sam came out of the tower; he was very reluctant to come out. But he had to make a move even if he didn't want to.
When he returned, they all looked at him in wonder.
Sam is not like his usual self. His eyes that were looking around did not seem to be looking at them, he seemed to be thinking of something completely different and he continued muttering something like crazy.
His confidence was invisible; he did not even have proper attention on his surroundings as he walked towards the lake with his senses.
Only after he jumped into the pond did he calm down a little. It's Sam in the zone, it's been a long time since he's been like this and it's very difficult to get out of this state of mind.
But he never hated the state of this madman, not only that, he never hated any part of him either physically or mentally.
He accepted all his flaws along with his plausibility points and he would never change them for anyone.
Even thinking, it might seem ironic that one is unwilling to change his flaws even after he identifies them, he does not want to do so, he said, because from childhood past life to death all twenty-five years more than half of his life is under one's control.
His food, his health, his sports, his clothes and even his learning were under one's control. Sam has found something new to learn and every time he does, he has to show a lot of reasons that it is useful for the 'retainer', he said', if he learns this one way or another before he gets approval.
So, when most of her life is in a person's control, she finds that her character is the only thing that is in her control.
So, he just wanted to stay that way. He would never change it for social norms and conventions. Only if one deserves for him to change his character, will he do so.
Many people may think he is arrogant and he behaves as if the world revolves around him. But what Sam believes is, if you don't treat yourself as special and don't have confidence in yourself, then never expect someone to treat you that way.
And if anyone does that, then, the first two conditions are unconditional Love and the second is that the person may have a design on you in one way or another and he may raise your ego to destroy you.
Sam swam in the lake as much as he could and when he saw no one near the lake, he called out to Mia.
The little Hydra was already level 1 and was growing faster and faster. When he came out, he immediately jumped towards Sam and started cowering.
Sam dumps all attention to the world and starts playing with Mia. They just play in the water for hours.
After coming out of the water, Sam was dissatisfied and took out a formation flag. He placed layers above the layers of the hiding formation and even activated the formation discs.
He took out all the beasts, panther, Yanwu, Sky, ape and Mia.
He did not know what would happen in the capital of the Dukedom, so he just wanted to enjoy the peace with his friends.
The two panthers pinned him to the ground and began licking his face. It's been a while since the little guy caught his attention. In the dimension they only have themselves to play and not much to do.
Yanwu or Sky would give them food and they would run around, roll around, mess up some of the planted plants, ruffle Yanwu's feathers and escape.
They are just like the other kids.
Sam calls Watt and asks him to bring a lot of food from the restaurant.
Within an hour, Watt also joined them with plenty of food.
Sam doesn't talk much, all he does is play with small animals, panthers, and Mia. He even let the Queen out.
While relaxing Sam saw something interesting. The two panthers acted like Mia's superior and taught her manners.
He couldn't help but laugh. Although they became hybrids due to the fire poison, the two panthers did not have as much potential as Mia for now, after all Mia was a mythical beast.
He imagined how Mia became a giant-sized beast and looked down on the now superior Panther and shook her head while laughing.
But the problem is Mia doesn't like to stay on land for long and the Panthers being fire type makes it difficult for her. Merely, he thought that it would be a good idea to capture some water-type beasts for company.
When Watt saw this, he was dumbfounded. It is also a hoverboard. But this is a little different.
It is a little thinner and the color is completely silver.
Sam makes this because he has to walk if he wants to go with Watt to some other place. So, if Watt also has the same means of transportation, they can move faster.
But this board is different in many ways. Because, Harbinger Sam can directly circulate the spiritual energy of wind elements into high pressure air to get the needed thrust.
Despite Watt's manipulation and control of the high wind element, it is not high enough to provide the same thrust.
So, Sam used various inscriptions to make them. It also operates on Wind energy cells, but is not visible from the outside.
Instead they are covered with discs. On the inner side of the disc were many intricate inscription matrices made by Sam.
This inscription matrix was actually made from a simple wind type inscription called an air cannon. This was a normal wind element spell that produced an air boost for a moment and the scale of the effect would depend on the energy used by the magician.
Sam made this inscription matrix so that when injected they would give a continuous boost.
So, this thing was running on a small-scale air cannon that continuously pushed the board up and even a push forward would be given in the same way.
When others find out and copy it. They can try and see if they can continuously pour energy from their bodies because Sam is the sole supplier of energy cells.
But before they can do this, they have to open and check, but Sam takes action. He piled up a concealment formation inscribed with etching operations to hide it from the spiritual senses.
Because now there will be no copying.
Sam then shows the remaining board function. There are several projectile shooting options on the front and even the back of the board and there is one more function he can use in close combat as well.
The rest of the day goes by with Sam teaching on how to balance and use the board effectively.
The next morning, Sam and the remaining members arrived at the Marquis' house.
Twenty members were selected and the list was out. Sam's team has no eliminations except Jasmine.
So, those were the nine seats occupied. For the remaining eleven, the second team consisting mostly of noble children got seven while the third team only got four spots.
As for the candidates who were eliminated, they were given registration to a special elite class as top priority students to be invested in.
Sam looked at Zeke who was also looking at him with some kind of fear in his eyes.
Zeke was very slightly overwhelmed and anxious when his father called him and his brother yesterday.
"If you want to live in peace, don't mess with Sam anymore. Even if your grandfather can oppress him for now, you will regret it in the long run. So, if you have any plans to deal with her with your grandfather's help, leave that idea."
These are the exact words of the Marquis last night. Not only did the marquis warn them, he did not even give any further explanation.
"You will represent the Blue fire region and will compete in the capital of the Dukedom. Now you have no way back and must move forward even if you like it or not. So, I hope you concentrate on the future and seize the opportunities that are being presented to you."
After that, they were led to what looked like a forest and when they entered they all saw a gigantic ferocious beast.
This is a fire-winged eagle. This was one of the beast squads of the Marquis region and they were dual-elemented beasts of Fire and Wind.
There is one more advantage for them. They are big and fast. So, they are also used for long distance travel.
On this morning, five Flame-winged eagles soared into the air with the candidates and the Marquis riding them towards the capital of the Dukedom.
