"Alright. Those of you have at least 500 rit Points stay, rest hand your plague to the Elders and leave." redith announced after a short while.
Hearing her words, the eyes of those who had more than 500 rit Points but less than 1000, brightened up.
’We still have a chance.’
As for those who had less than 500, so tried their luck saying they were only short of a few points but they were swiftly escorted out of the city by the Elders.
redith checked Rima’s plaque and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes when she saw the number—15013.
Since the beasts in the sa realm as the participant only gave 10 points, only those who could battle across realms should have more than 2000 rit Points. As for the rest, even if they hunted the beasts day and night, they had little hope of touching this mark.
[Not bad, huh?] Just then the Elder’s transmission sounded in her ears. She looked over and saw a faint smile on his lips.
She nodded, [Really not bad. As long as she tempers her will, she should have no problem becoming a Core Hall disciple.]
The Elder stared at her, a little speechless, but didn’t say anything.
If she could understand human emotions, instead of worrying about Rima’s willpower, she should have been thinking about a way to lift her mood and help her find a way to regain her spirit. Otherwise even if she stayed in the Beast Emperor Hall, she wouldn’t have a future.
’Maybe we should temporarily seal her mories?’
The mont this thought crossed his mind, he shook his head. It was true the Beast Emperor Hall wanted genius disciples like her, but they could not be emotionless and cruel like other sects that only focused on their benefits.
"Alright, those below 1000 stay here. Rest of you, follow to the mountain. The Elders will select you there." Saying this, redith covered Rima in her mana, flew into the sky followed by the Elder and began flying out of the city, toward the massive mountain range in the distance.
The Elders who were supposed to pick out a few disciples could only shake their heads in exasperation.
"This girl... she is really impatient." An Elder sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or get angry.
"Haha, I think she simply forgot that she was supposed to let us select." Another Elder laughed before they also followed after the group.
...
The Beast Emperor Hall owned this entire mountain range that was equal in size to several small countries.
It housed massive forests, full of magic beasts that disciples could hunt to hone their skills or ta as their companion beasts. And because the Beast Emperor Hall was situated in its depths, surrounded by forests, only the stronger disciples could safely enter and leave the Hall.
Due to this, very few disciples ever ca out and interacted with the rest of the world which made it less renowned compared to other peak Emperor Rank Powers.
If not for the fact that the Beast Emperor Hall had deliberately announced their rank to attract the disciples, not many disciples would have co for the recruitnt.
After redith and the Elder led the disciples who had successfully passed the trials, a sigh faintly echoed up in the clouds, "Sigh, only 3000 disciples passed."
"It’s still better than nothing. Besides, there are many talented ones among them."
A mont after the voices sounded, two indistinct figures disappeared from the cloud, leaving behind no traces of their presence.
...
A day later, Rima regained consciousness.
Seeing the unfamiliar ceiling, she blinked her eyelashes in confusion. Then her hazy mind grew clear, the mory of the ti right before everything went blank returned and she trembled, her eyes reddening.
"...No." She let out a choked sob but before she could continue to dwell into her sadness and beca much too depressed to lose herself, the door of the room she was in swung open and a figure walked in.
"You awake?"
Rima glanced at the figure and recognised her as redith. She then averted her gaze, in no mood to talk.
However, redith, as if unaware of her current mood, threw an Identity Badge toward her and began speaking, "Here, I have registered you. You are now an Inner Hall disciple. Go get your uniform and the key to your courtyard. There will be a competition at the end of month. If you rank among the top three—"
"Can you please leave alone for a while, Elder Sister?" Rima interrupted her.
redith furrowed her brows and coldly said, "What are you being so depressed about? He was just a..."
Suddenly rembering what the Elder Munrow had told her, she shut her mouth. Then after a mont, she said, "I checked and found that only 100 plaques were unaccounted for, aning they were completely destroyed in the minor realm. Usually it ans the participant is dead but maybe your man managed to survive. So, don’t lose hope just—"
Swoosh!
Before she could finish speaking, the previously desolate Rima vanished from the bed and appeared in front of her, grabbing her by the shoulders, "Send back into the minor realm... please."
redith casually removed her hands from her shoulders and said, "It’s not easy to enter the minor realm. We need the Sky Rending Claw and at least one Monarch to open the rift. Right now you neither have enough authority to move either for your purpose nor you have the required rit Points."
Hearing this, Rima stared at her deeply. She could tell redith was trying to give her false hope but she believed if soone could survive even though the plague was destroyed, it was definitely Max.
This ant he was still alive in the minor realm and she had to go in to bring him out. So, she asked, her gaze determined, "Please tell how many rit Points I need to enter the Minor Realm and how I can obtain the required authority."
redith couldn’t help but feel that Rima was incomprehensible and beyond stupid.
Was there really a need to behave like this? Did she really not understand that the chances of her man being alive were nearly zero?
But she didn’t voice out her inner thoughts and said, "You should be ranked in the Gold Beast Rankings and should have 50,000 rit Points."
"Alright, now leave. Soone will take you to the Inner Hall." Saying this, she waved her hand and Rima flew out of the room.
...
While Rima was determined to do her best to enter the Minor Realm to look for him, the person in question slowly awoke from his deep sleep and yawned.
"That was so good sleep." He muttered, feeling better than ever.
"But... How long did I sleep this ti?" He wondered, not being able to tell the ti he was in the dreamland because his mind had completely shut down after he drained himself both ntally and physically while reconstructing his mana core.
’I hope there are still a few days left.’ He thought. Though he had reconstructed his core, he needed to refill it and then find Rima. And if possible, hunt down so beasts to collect the required rit Points.
However...
When he tried sensing Rima, his expression changed.
