The Medallion

After everything that had been discussed, Uriel left the hall first.

“Tessa, you’re lucky enough that you were able to merge with a martial spirit on your first journey to the Martial Spirit Graveyard. Hence, you must work hard from now on. You can’t waste such a rare opportunity.” Harrison wore a serious look as he tried to encourage her daughter.

“I will, Father. Don’t worry. You can expect that I won’t let you down. Besides, I can’t let Basil surpass me again. It’ll be too embarrassing for me. So, if there’s nothing else, I will go back now and have a rest.” Then, Tessa made a mischievous face and left before her father could say something more.

“What happened to my girl?!” Harrison said as he shook his head. He knew that her daughter was quite the stubborn type but he discerned that there was something else that changed about her. After thinking for a while, he told himself, “Since Basil came, Tessa has become more ambitious and competitive. If only she isn’t engaged to Miguel, I may even think that Basil is more suitable for her. Moreover, I can see that those two are extremely close. Now, I’m worried that those two might suddenly fall in love with each other! Oh, what am I going to do? It will be a huge headache for me!”

Meanwhile, Rocky and Ramon walked together on their way back. Neither of them seemed to be in the mood for a small talk, and the atmosphere was a little dull.

However, when they were about to part ways, Ramon couldn’t help but ask, “Hey, Basil. Did you encounter something after you drew away all those martial spirits? Why do I feel like you’ve suddenly become a different person when you came back? Did something happen to you?”

“Do you think so?” Rocky asked as if feigning ignorance.

Ramon just stared at him and slightly nodded.

“Wow, I didn’t expect that you’re going to see through me. Well, to tell you the truth, it’s because I’ve also fused with a martial spirit,” Rocky said in a soft voice. He was actually telling half of the truth. While he did fuse with a martial spirit, the whole truth was a bit complicated.

“What?! Are you serious? How did you even do that?” Ramon was stunned upon hearing what Rocky said. He was having a hard time believing him because it was known to be almost impossible for a warrior to fuse with a martial spirit without it being bound first.

“Shh, not so loud. Captain, please keep it a secret. I don’t want anyone else to know for the time being. You know that I might only get into trouble if the wrong people knew,” Rocky said in a meaningful tone.
