Amon, The Legendary Overlord

“How crazy, isn’t it?” Barbara smiled to learn that in addition to the chance to choose two spells for the alliance library, there were even more rewards.

“Yeah, crazy, huh?” Ariel laughed at the gleeful way Barbara said that and gave her a thumbs-up.

“Those two…” Maisa shook her head and sighed.

Meanwhile, the participants were taking the stage. Prizes were being given from lowest to the highest ranking. Gradually, it reached the top 10. Only the top 3 gained entry to enter the alliance library, although the third place and runner-up could only choose 1 spell while the top spot could choose 2.

Choosing two spells was good, as it guaranteed a good spell to merge with the genetic factor when creating the second one, but Amon’s thinking was different; Amon intended to choose two spells and already integrate the spells into his two genetic factors.

“The top 3 teams can take the stage!” The voice of Elder William who was once the judge echoed.

The moment they were called, Team Mary took the stage. In addition to the entrance to the library to choose a spell, they received alliance contribution points that could be used either in the tower or in the alliance, even exchanged for university credits. The second place was the same, only the contribution was greater.

“Team Amon, take the stage!” Elder William’s voice was a little louder.

He looked up with a hint of pride as they took the stage. Even though Amon’s team weren’t from the Universal University, after all, they were geniuses of the human alliance. For him, who had always fought on the spot against the other races, having talented young people in the human race was something of which to be proud.

The moment they arrived, Elder William said, “As the team that took first place, the prize is 2 thousand contributions for each of you and a free pass card for the tier 1 tower. With this card, you can go to the 3rd floor of the tower. And, of course, last, but not least, each of the five of you can choose two spells from the alliance library!”

“Whoa!” Maisa celebrated.

Julia was calmer, but her slightly flushed face made it hard for her to hide her happiness. Even Ariel showed more emotion than usual upon hearing the reward of coming first. That amount of contribution was enough to buy a lot of stuff to improve their gene base. Aside from the two spells they could choose from in the alliance library, this freed them from having to worry about buying with the contribution they got.

It was said that it was only officially at Innate Rank when one would normally merge a spell with the genetic factor. Now, they had a chance to officially enter the Innate Rank.

The Innate Rank: A commonly used name/title for those who managed to create the first genetic factor and merge a spell with it.

“Thanks~” Ariel said with a charming smile. Amon also said his thanks.

One by one, their party thanked the elders when they received the rewards. Even the 2,000 contributions appeared on the university’s App, just below where the Credit was marked.

As for the card to gain access to the tower, they had already received it. They only needed to drip a drop of blood on it and when done, light burst from the color of their genetics and soon, they became the owners of the cards.

‘I don’t think they found out that I have any genetics other than lightning…’ Amon murmured in his heart. After all, he was still wearing the accessory he got from his grandparents and when his blood dripped onto the card, only golden light shone. Although he didn’t know what color the fury and calm genes would be…

*Applause!* As soon as they finished receiving the cards, a round of applause broke out, while whistles and screams echoed.

“Mm, Elder William,” Amon asked, “May I propose something?”

“What did you have in mind?” Elder William turned his attention towards Amon.

“I want to know if it is possible to create an auction with the items we got in the secret realm among the students,” Amon asked.

“Oh? That’s an interesting idea.” Elder William looked at Old Hazael and the rest. “What do you think?”

“I’m fine with it,” Old Hazael replied simply and casually.

“I, myself, do not agree,” a Golden Phoenix teacher disagreed.

Two other teachers disagreed from the UGRG university and Universal University, but as most of the teachers accepted, especially the Elders, Amon’s proposal was accepted.

“Yes, you can do that,” Elder William said with a small smile, “You have 3 hours to do this.”

“Okay, thanks.” Amon thanked them and then spoke towards the tournament participants, “Very well, you’ve heard, yes? I want to propose an auction between us. I think a lot of teams have items that are not useful for themselves and want to get something useful for each of their team.”

“Yes, our team is in agreement.” Sheron was the first to want to participate.

“So are we.” After speaking to her team, Xena agreed.

Gradually, one by one, they all agreed. As Amon had said, there were many teams that wanted to trade or sell the items that weren’t useful to them.

“We can do this simply,” Ariel spoke up, “Each team representative takes the stage and can auction up to 10 items. Of course, it can be a complete set. For example, we have sets of 11 rare herbs for ice genes. As those are not useful to us, we will auction it all together.”

“Are you going to start first?” someone yelled.

“No, I think it’s better for the lower ranked teams to start,” Amon explained, “They must have something they want to auction and the money they make first could be useful to them later in the bidding.”

“Oh thank goodness!” Those who were worried about it, shouted in joyful tones. 𝗼𝐯𝐞𝐥．𝐜𝐨𝗺

“Another thing: The interval for bidding on each item is 30 seconds. After 30 seconds the item will sell, whether the take is great or not. In other words, don’t set the price too low that you don’t get enough in time or too high so that no one bids,” Amon said.

So they agreed to it. After all, it was not to their disadvantage. The teachers and elders who heard this were a little impressed with what Amon proposed, since not all of them even thought about it.

“This boy is good.” Elder William stroked his beard with a small smile.

“Yes, he tends to always think about the big picture.” Old Hazael laughed a little.

Unlike the top ranks, the low ranks barely had 5 items to auction, and because of that, they quickly left the stage. Another thing, some uselessly asked for a very high value and ended up not being able to sell.

Amon shook his head in disapproval. “What’s the point of asking for such a high price if you’re not going to sell and make things possibly even more expensive for yourself if you’re going to buy with contributions from universities?”

“Yes, being that greedy will only make you lose instead of profit.” Ariel and the girls also disapprove of this.

“Even worse, Amon had warned about this beforehand,” Julia said, “But of course, there will always be those who won’t heed any warning and try to cash in.”

“Well, it’s their loss, not ours,” Barbara said casually.

Soon, the auction had already reached the top 50. So far they’d only bid on a few items that could be used in a medicinal bath.

“It’s our luck that Amon knows how to make a medicinal bath,” Ariel grinned devilishly as she bought another medicinal bath ingredient.

“Yeah,” the other girls agreed.

Items started to improve in the top 50. Some were not even items they got in the mysterious realm. Even weapons and armor were auctioned.

Although Amon had said that it would be an auction to auction the items they got in the secret realm, it was not forbidden to do so, as long as it is between the 10 maximum stipulated items, it was ok. After all, the decision was well accepted among the students who wanted to buy them.

“Are you interested in something, Amon?” Barbara looked at him as she asked.

“No,” Amon replied with a neutral expression, “I don’t have anything in particular that I want to buy. As long as it is useful for us, I agree to anything you guys want.”

“I understand.” Barbara stopped talking and kept looking at the representative of the next team that came up on stage.

“Do you think some spell will appear?” Julia was more muttering than asking.

“Well, we managed to find some spells. However, we didn’t study carefully to know how useful they might be,” Maisa said.

“True.” Julia looked at her and nodded. Yes, it was no use if someone didn’t know how useful the spell was. You could even lose a lot if it was a good spell. This was something that would need the help of someone more experienced to assess. Even though Amon had some understanding from studying with his grandparents, he didn’t know the value of the spells they had found.

“These things we can ask my aunt or Old Hazael about later,” Ariel said with a small smile.

“Yes, I know. But well, I think it’s still possible for someone to auction off a spell. It’s just a feeling I have,” Julia said with some uncertainty. She had a feeling it was possible that someone in the top 50 had gotten a good spell and auctioned it off without knowing the value.

The worst was that if it was an unregistered spell, it would be difficult to know the value of the spell. They weren’t easy things to bid on. After all, no one wanted to lose money.
