The legendary warrior

"You have shown us what you are capable of. You are indeed qualified to be Wayne's master," Olaf replied calmly to Ricky's inquiry.

His answer caused a stir among the crowd.

It became obvious that he had no intention of punishing Wayne.

The warriors started discussing with each other telepathically, unable to believe their own ears. "I can't believe that the Helian Clan is making a concession for an outsider."

"Ricky is, without doubt, the first casting master who has been recognized by the Short Human tribe."

"It was an impossible feat for anyone till date, but he has done it now. I don't think there will be another one who would be able to accomplish this."

"But I understand why they have come to this decision. Ricky is incredibly talented in both martial arts and casting. Besides, he has the support of the Misty South Palace. At this point, there is no way that the Short Human tribe can cause him harm. Since they can't lay a hand on him, they have no choice but to befriend him."

"You have created a stir. The Helian Clan has made a concession for you," the Dragon Intent Grass said.

"I'm just glad that they have taken this decision instead of going on a rampage," Ricky said with a sigh.

If he was being true to himself, Olaf would say that he didn't want members of his clan to learn casting from an outsider. After all, it concerned the reputation of his clan.

However, there was no way around this. He had to admit that Ricky had tremendous potential in casting.

Elder Deacon, Wayne's grandfather, who had wanted him dead at first, didn't feel the same anymore. He was grateful to Ricky for what he had done for his grandson.

"I appreciate your kind words, sir. Thank you very much," Ricky said with a slight bow.

Olaf gave him a curt nod, and then swiftly turned to the crowd. "The casting competition has come to a conclusion. The winners will be rewarded as promised tomorrow."

Inside the palace, Wayne was waiting for Ricky. When he saw his master, he exclaimed, "Master! You are just so awesome! I can't believe that you've already become a casting master at the Sage Level! You even defeated Kamari to become the number one casting genus in the Misty South!"
