Chapter 101 - Team Name
However, before the twins could even intervene, Malaka asked Agis while looking at him with her innocent eyes.
"But how can you get first place with Rean and Roan here?"??
Let alone Agis, even Rean, and Roan were taken aback by that answer.
Rean couldn't hold back and burst out in laugher.
"Hahahaha!"
He then patted Malaka's head, which much pleased her.
"That's right, Malaka. How can he take the first place with the two of us here?"
Agis was infuriated after hearing that.
"Are you making fun of me?"
Pah!
Out of nowhere, Roan slapped Agis' back head.
"Who would waste time making fun of you? Malaka just stated a fact, that's all. Now shoo, shoo, you are getting in our way."
Still, Roan couldn't deny that felt a little, just a little tiny bit happy to hear Malaka's answer.
Agis was indeed quite young. For someone like him, treated with the utmost respect in his Clan, such treatment was humiliating. But just as he was about to burst out and attack Roan, he received a Spiritual Sense message.
"Ignore them. Your objective is to show your superiority compared to the others. If you attack him here, it will only leave a bad impression on the Core Elders. They will think about you as someone who can't control his own temperament. Is that what you want? You are a descendant of the Kexidor Clan, so act like one."
Agis quickly cooled down after hearing that.
"Tch! Well, you were the one who didn't want to enter the victorious team."
He turned around and began to look for the other Blue Aptitude kids, especially the two who were also in the Foundation Establishment.
Rean and Roan couldn't care less, though.
As Julio saw Agis leaving, he asked the others.
"Is it really okay to buy a fight with that guy? He is the only Red Color Aptitude, after all."
Roan simply snorted after hearing that.
"You are putting way too much importance on that ant."
Rean wasn't even paying attention anymore.
"Malaka, have you found the last kid?"
"Ah!"
Malaka's mind quickly returned to the right track, and she dashed to the middle of the kids who were outside of the top 100 board.
It didn't take long for Rean and Roan to notice that she seemed to be looking for someone in specific.
A few minutes later, Malaka finally spotted the right one.
"Yay! I found you!"
Suddenly, Malaka clinged on another girl's arm.
The girl, of course, was surprised by that. As far as this kid could remember, she had never seen Malaka before.
However, Rean and Roan immediately understood why Malaka chose her.
"Rean, Roan, look, look! Doesn't she look exactly like Liria?"
Liria was one of Malaka's classmates when Rean and Roan were working as teachers back in the Varen Tribe. She was a girl who joined at the same time as them and had a Brown Color aptitude. Malaka liked to often play with her back then.
Rean looked at the little girl closely and had to admit.
"She does look like Liria a lot. If not that she is older and has shorter hair, it would be hard to see the difference."
Roan nodded.
"Indeed, but Liria has a Brown Color Aptitude, so it would be impossible for her to be here. This one also has higher cultivation than her. Still, that is quite the resemblance."
The girl didn't know what those three were talking, so she quickly took some distance from them... or so she tried. Malaka wasn't letting her go at all!
"Let me go! What do you want?"
"Ah!"
Only then Malaka remembered her objective here.
"We need one more person to our group, so I came here to take you!"
The girl was taken aback.
"But aren't you people of the top 100? I have a Yellow Color Aptitude, you know? Even my Wind Elemental Affinity had barely lit up the Fourth Orb. Not to mention that I'm only an Initial Stage Energy Gathering Realm cultivator."
Rean didn't mind, though.
"It's okay. Since Malaka chose you, then so be it. It all depends on whether you want to join our group or not."
The girl didn't know what to do. Even though she was young, she still found it quite suspicious that they selected her. However, Rean's group was indeed a top 100 one. Also, she couldn't feel Rean and Roan's cultivation at all.
'Grandfather said that if I can't feel someone's cultivation in this test, it is because they have a much higher one. If that happened, I should be careful to not offend them.'
Afraid that it might happen, the little girl couldn't help but agree with Rean's proposal.
"O-Okay."
Malaka's eyes brightened as she hugged the new girl.
"Malaka, give her some space. We still don't know anything about her."
Rean quickly pulled Malaka back before looking at the new girl.
"If you don't mind, can you make a self-introduction?"
The girl nodded.
"My name is Lenna Dorvyre, 11 years old. I came from Weageon City, East of Majorias City. You would need around 6 days to arrive there by Spirit Horse. As I said, I'm a Wind Element user at the Initial Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm."
Rean then asked Roan through their Soul Connection.
"How's it?"
"Just a kid, nothing more. If anything, she accepted our offer because she was probably afraid of offending us. I don't feel any malice coming from her, either."
Rean then smiled back at Lenna.
"Well, welcome to the group then. Let's go to the Outer Sect disciples to register."
Lenna couldn't help but ask the same thing as Julio about the group numbers. Obviously, Rean and Roan gave the same answer. 'There was no need.'
As they approached the counter, one of the Outer Sect Disciples took a paper sheet out and asked.
"Is this your entire team?"
Rean nodded.
"Yes, could I bother this brother to register our names?"
The Outer Sect Disciple felt quite pleased with Rean's politeness.
"Sure, but I advise you to bring a few more kids. Otherwise, you might not have enough power to stand the night."
Rean then shook his head.
"Thank you for the advice, brother. But we are pretty confident in our skills."
That disciple sighed but didn't try to change Rean's group mind.
"What's the name of your team?"
"Name?"
They didn't know they would need a name. However, Malaka quickly jumped forward before saying.
"Death Team!"
Julio and Lenna felt quite shocked that a girl as bright as Malaka would come up with such a gloomy name.
Roan, on the other hand, just chuckled while Rean laughed.
"Well, so be it, Death Team it is."
