150 Percy's pick
One after another, participants from various kingdoms and sects came onto the stage to be drafted however for the first part of the selection there would be hardly one or two sects interested in drafting a talent , if they were interested at all.
There was no fierce competition seen for drafting any competitor until it was turn for the Mad-Dog to be drafted.
Mad-Dog already came from a top 10 sect and hence his decision to change his current sect to another was something that shocked many and especially his old sect the most.
4 sects showed interest in recruiting the newbie which was an unprecedented number of people however Mad-Dogs choice was the most unconventional of the four.
Of all the sects interested in him he chose the ‘ Buddha’s palm ‘ sect of the monks to be his new home ..
It was the only sect which did not suit at all with his aggressive behaviour, however the two parties seemed to have made a backdoor deal beforehand as Mad-Dog gave the sect master a knowing and respectful bow.
Mad-Dog had apparently realised the limitation of his variant elemental affinity and understood that his path to becoming a top warrior was through Taoist fighting techniques under the grace of Buddha.
After Mad-Dog however there were a lot of shocks for major sects as top talented people like Diago and Palkia also applied for a change in institution also seemingly having made back channel deals.
The raging wind sect lost one of its top talents in this way to the howling wolves sect whereas the fiery flames sect lost one to the heaven chaser sect.
To the dissapointment of everyone the number two and three of the competition, Zimo and Bob only accepted their potions and manuals as reward and did not apply for change in sect as they were happy with their current organization.
However the dissapointment of them not choosing a sect only built to the anticipation of what Percy Draco was going to chose as hailing from the Avalonian kingdom , it was inevitable for Percy to join one sect for his future training.
In the world of Avalon, the sects were like universities that helped a warrior specialize in their particular fighting style and in turn created skilled workforce to help the sect mentain their control over their territory that they controlled.
In Avalon, from age 18-22 millitary service was compulsory , if one enrolled into a sect and was going to continue living there for this time period then the sect was required to pay a renumeration in cash to the kingdom to keep a prime warrior in their region.
However the sects did not pay for every single warrior they had in their territory as they only did so for the exceptional warriors that were going to become the pillars of the sect in the future.
The prospect of Percy Draco was hence dim , no matter how much accomplished he became as a warrior , for any materialistic sect to invest time , money and resources into him was a gamble as the warrior was eventually going to return to Avalon at age 18 to serve as the crown prince in the military.
This meant that Percy would only join a sect for 2-3 years timeframe max and only for his own personal gain , which theoretically provided no advantage to any sect to nurture him however still every single sect master was salivating to have him!
The reason behind it was simple , Percy was going to become the future king of Avalon and amass countless merits and fame , him coming from a sect was not only good marketting but also an investment into a future friendship that was sure to pay off in times of need.
Hence when Percy’s turn to choose came , every single sect master raised their hands to draft him as the competition to recruit this talent left the crowd speechless.
All 10 of the top ten sect masters wanted Percy Draco to come to their sects and the howling wolves sect master was lowkey growling at the other sect masters to lay off his disciple.
Percy was both flattered and confused as to why there was so much interest in drafting him since he was the loser in the finals , but nonetheless he was grateful that he had such a privilage to chose.
In his mind the only two sects that were worth his time were the number one sect the heaven chaser sect where Zimo came from and the number three sect the fiery flames sect where Bob came from .
Fiery flames sect had a myriad of fire spells for him to master and was a good fit for his personal element whereas the heaven chaser sect was a Goliath being under whom Percy could become a great warrior and also learn a lot about political administration and diplomacy.
Thinking about it long and hard Percy decided to finally go with the number three sect the fiery flames sect simply because it was a good fit for his element.
The sect had a lot of reserves of amazing S rated fire spells and learning directly from the level 147 sect master was going to be an ideal situation for Percy.
The other sect masters were incredibly jealous of the fiery flames sect as matters between them came to a near boiling point , but everyone still mentained the facade of decency because one last contender was yet to be rewarded.
The number one overall , the winner of the contest Ronan Draco himself.
If the interest in Percy was to tie up with the future king of Avalon, the interest in Ronan was purely personal. Nobody had a shadow of a doubt in their mind to see this generational talent and everyone wanted to associate with him before he became an overlord that could be only looked upto .
The competition for him was sure to be fierce , however little did they know that he already had a master selected.
