Of course, Levi did not agree to attend the discipleship ceremony in order to select a suitable master for his daughter. His main intention was to tell those people off, to show them they were not qualified to be Forlevia’s master. He was not worried about the confrontations, although it would be a hassle for him, as the number of people he had to deal with would be a little overwhelming.
Initially, he was still a little worried about Jared and the situation at the training base. However, Wynona updated him that everything was fine, so it was a burden off his chest. With Wynona watching over Jared, he was assured Jared could not create any trouble.
Time flew by, and soon, it was the big day for Forlevia.
The discipleship ceremony captured the attention of everyone in Erudia, and it was also closely monitored by the international community.
The Erudian warriors had made public announcements that anyone trying to harm Forlevia would be their common enemy.
When news of that declaration got out, many of the foreigners gave up on their plans to kill Forlevia. After all, she had the backing of the whole martial arts community in Erudia!
The discipleship ceremony was held at Paradise Villa in North Hampton.
Many of the established but low-profile parties started making themselves known.
There were seventy-four parties on hand to defend Forlevia three days ago.
By the morning of the day of the discipleship ceremony, more than a hundred parties had gathered in North Hampton, and more were on their way there.
Everyone was dying for the chance to take a rare prodigy like Forlevia as a disciple, as she could bring the party to another level of achievement.
On the day of the discipleship ceremony, many previously unknown parties came.
Three days ago, only three to four parties had a Rank Seven fighter as a leader.
That had increased to more than ten!
Zarain wowed the world when they gathered five Rank Seven for the battle with Levi.
However, Forlevia did better. She attracted more than ten Rank Seven fighters to vie with one another to be her master.
Paradise Villa was huge, but it was bursting at the seam with more than ten thousand guests gathered for the discipleship ceremony. It was a never-seen-before spectacular sight that had attracted international attention.
Even Jared and his colleagues were intrigued and followed the event.
Forlevia had become famous after the Gem&Stone List was published. Although many of those ranked ahead of her on the Stone List was more skillful than her, they had kept a low profile and were unknown to the public. As such, the limelight fell solely on Forlevia, and she single-handedly made the world take note of the martial artists of Erudia.
Soon, Levi arrived at Paradise Villa with Forlevia and family, and the Lopezes and Blacks were taken aback by the scale of the event.
The warriors wasted no time, and after announcing some basic guidelines, they started the presentations.
All of them boasted about the privileges they could offer to the family, the resources they had, etcetera. The carrots each of them dangled were attractive enough to change the fortune of a few common families.
Soon, the discipleship ceremony began. Initially, it was planned for Forlevia only. However, it had expanded to be an event for the masses.
The parties took the opportunity to discover and take in as many talents as possible. Prodigy like Forlevia appeared once in a few centuries, and only one party would get the honor of having her as a disciple.
Instead of going back empty-handed, those weaker parties turned their sight on other talented youths.
Erudia was a huge country and there were many hidden talents all around the country. Many had gathered at that grand ceremony, and the parties actively pursued them.
That was a scene the Dragonites and Eragon were happy to witness. After all, the country would benefit from having more skilled warriors.
Many masters also spotted Zoey and Mia’s potential, but they were hesitant to approach them due to their relationship with Levi.
After an hour or so, most of the spotted talents were taken, and the attention turned to Forlevia. The highlight of the ceremony was about to begin.
“Leader of Foinix, Rank Seven fighter!”
“Leader of The Brillanto, Rank Seven fighter!”
“Leader of Team Ciel, Rank Seven fighter!”
More than a hundred parties started revealing their trump card.
