THE REBIRTH OF A GENIUS. CREATOR/DESTROYER

Chapter 61. The Will of Parents

The old man and Sam looked at each other for a while without speaking anything. Finally, the old man himself broke the silence.

"Okay, you're much more patient than I thought. Don't you have any questions at all?"

"I have." Sam answered.

"Then why don't you ask?"

"All right then. Why am I still here?" Hearing Sam's question, the old man was stunned and did not know what to say. He thinks in his heart. 'You have an unknown old man who reads your mind like a book and the old man comes straight to you after the exam is over and you have only one question and that is why you are still here. Why don't you follow the norm? You really have to ask who I am right? And why am I so great that I can read your memories, right? But why are you in such a hurry to leave?' He breathed and finally said.

"Alright then I'll say it myself. My name is Murali and I was once an old expert on this western continent. Right now, the one talking to you is one of the wills I left behind."

"I understand. So, can I come out now?" ask Sam. This time Murali lost again. After all, here he was saying that he was an expert in the past and this kid was concentrating on when the conversation was about to end. Shouldn't he admire and admire her? Wasn't he supposed to ask me for guidance and ask me to take him as a disciple? The old man thought in his heart. He was supposed to be a genius, then why was he acting stupid.

But did Sam really not know about the opportunity? Of course, he understood and that was the main reason he tried to end the conversation. If he listened to more information, the deeper he was in the matter. If Murali knew what Sam was thinking, he would probably vomit blood out of desperation.

"Okay son, I'll get to the point. I have long since died and before I died, I left my legacy somewhere in this western continent and this tower is one of the keys to that legacy. There were a total of four towers like this each of which had a different type of test. To unlock the legacy, all four keys must be put together. Now the other three towers already had successors and this fourth will tower, being the most difficult of all, was too late to find one. Successors must be less than twenty years old and must be under the cultivation of a Great Witch/Fighter. And the legacy will open only when all four successors are selected with the necessary criteria and now it happens.

I'll transfer ownership of the tower to you and the four of you can communicate together and unlock the inheritance at the same time. If you don't like it, you can bring along an escort and you can give them a legacy. After all, it should not be forced.

I've seen that you've been through a lot of kids and I hope you'll think about it carefully before making a decision." The old man said and waved his hand as he disappeared with a wave of light entering Sam's mind with some information regarding the tower and the inheritance. A small platform appeared in front of him and there was a palm-shaped groove on it. Sam placed his palm on it and the ownership of the tower was transferred.

Sam read the info provided by the old man and saw the method to move the tower. He can reduce the size of the tower and save it if he wants to do it, but Sam does not do it and gets out of the tower first.

When he looked at the gawking crowd as if looking at a beast, Sam felt strange and walked towards the officer in charge of the score. Seeing him approaching, the officer came to his senses and spoke loudly.

"Prospective Sam. Thirty floors. Cleaning the will tower. Thirty points." As soon as he finished, everyone stood up and started clapping loudly. Sam slowly walked towards the group/

"Congratulations Sam. You're really as good as Kelly says." The first to congratulate him was Hawk. Sam nodded at him with a smile and the latter walked away to give the group some time to themselves.

Philip and Jack looked at each other and at Sam. This is the difference between them. That's what they think in their hearts. One by one the candidates from Starwood academy came and congratulated him. Even the Headmaster and City Lord came. After some time, a voice silenced the commotion.

"The first round of the competition ends now. And the ratings will be displayed. As soon as he said that, a screen appeared on the stage and there were two ratings displayed.

The first is the individual ranking and the second is the group ranking. Both places were first occupied by Starwood city. The first three places were occupied by Sam, Philip and Jack respectively in the individual rankings followed by Hawk and in the same way, the first place in the group rankings, the team said, starwood City occupies the first place followed by the Falcon Cliff city.

"The second round of the competition will begin at noon and the candidates are required to rest until then at the accommodation provided by the academy. You will be led there by an officer. Come to the entrance of the academy at the time of the competition."

As soon as the Falcon Count finished speaking, everyone started to move and left in their own individual ways. An officer leads six groups along with their supervisor to the provided accommodation. Immediately, they were brought to the six stone houses within the academy and each group was allocated one.

Sam looked at the ugly house they occupied compared to the other houses and felt that something was wrong and looked at the attendant with a questioning look. When met with a sharp look, the officer who was much weaker than him immediately curled up and said. "Older Arlo is the one who arranges the accommodation. I don't know anything." He said and immediately left the place.

Sam looked at the City lord and shook his head as he entered the stone house and chose a room to relax. After a while, someone entered the house and there was a commotion outside that bothered him from the others.

"Hello old buddy. May his service be satisfactory." The middle-aged man with brown hair said cynically.

"Arlo, do you really need to take it out on the candidate because of our personal grudges? I'm the one who made the mistake and offended you and I've already faced the consequences, but why do you make it difficult for the candidates?, they are children and have nothing to do with our grudges." The city lord said sadly. But he only heard Arlo laughing sarcastically.

"It has nothing to do with us? I don't care. They come here depending on you and everyone who depends on you will have a hard time in my territory." He said and then looked at Sam and the others.

"Although your candidates did well in the first half, they still had to go through the second and third rounds and anything was possible. And if something happens to them, you're the one who caused it." After that he gave a mocking look to the City lord and left the place.

The city lord looked at the students with a sad expression. Just as he was about to say something, Sam walked back to his room. He had already guessed this scenario and was not surprised that someone would come and give a warning.

Sam sat there and meditated to recuperate.

Meanwhile, in another stone house, the strange trio were in the same room and were discussing something.

"Do you think he got his holdings?" Yuv asked the other two.

"He should have got it. But the tower showed no signs. It did not shrink and disappeared from its place like the other towers. Do you think he rejected it?" said Yaar.

“For now we don't know. It could be seen after the competition was over. We'll try the way we used the other towers and see if after the competition it works. If it works, the possession hasn't been taken and if we fail, we'll have to catch Sam's son." Yash said and the other two agreed.

Sam had no idea that the trio he noticed were plotting against him. He was deep in thought as he thought of something. He will go through the info given by the parents about the inheritance. Even though Sam knew that this would bring some trouble, he still took possession, as the old man said that he could give the inheritance to others if he did not want to. Sam took ownership, so that if the inheritance was useless to him, he could use it to obtain some resources from the heritage site and also, he could use that inheritance to gain some benefits for himself.

Time passed and day came. All the candidates and spectators gathered at the entrance of the academy. Immediately, the Count and the Headmaster along with the elders came to the place.

"The Honorable Participants, I congratulate you all for passing through the Tower of Will and even if some of you are not satisfied with your results, you must not let it hold you back. Willpower is important to cultivators but it is not. The only thing that matters and is only one of the qualities that can be improved with time So, do not be sad and go forward.

The second round of the competition will take place in the forest that is near the academy. We cleared a patch of forest and made some arrangements for the competition specifically. The rules will be announced by Principal Castor the moment we arrive on the spot. I wish you the best." The count falcon finished his speech and all the participants and spectators applauded.

After a while, everyone arrived at the entrance of the forest.

The Headmaster stood in front of the group of participants and said. "This is a team competition. But you will not participate with your teammates directly. The team will be mixed." As soon as the headmaster said that everyone started discussing. But Castor paid no heed and continued.

“In a few moments all participants will take tokens and will be divided into teams at random. After that all your cultivation will be sealed and you will become an ordinary human before we escort you somewhere in the forest. The candidate will be blind folded and will be taken to the middle of the forest. Each team will be left in a different place and each team will have to work together to find the clues we hide and you can only use the resources we hide in the forest or resources the ones you obtained in the forest You guys have to figure out the clues and find the scrolls that will open up your cultivation gradually.

Teams can face each other for rolls, food, resources, and even for no reason. Everyone's score will be calculated individually. And there are various ways to earn points in the forest, which you will know later.

But before that let me tell you something. Strength is not the only thing that will save you. You must develop enough awareness and adaptability to be safe and grow. I hope the candidates will remember it and will do their best. I'm hoping you're all lucky.

Now, please select the token in the box." Castor finished his speech and the candidates walked towards the box containing tokens to vote for their team.
