Death… And Me Chapter 422 - You Did Well

Chapter 422 - You Did Well

At the moment, a discussion was going around in the Formations Guild Test Field.
"Can he pass the test like that? The idea was to crack down the formations, right?"
"Indeed. I don't know if Zako would accept that."
"Perhaps he'll send Rean back since that's not how it should be done."
Droman couldn't help but sweat a little after hearing those statements. It would be good if Rean was sent back, but he was afraid that he might get disqualified instead.
Rean then arrived in front of Zako as he sheathed his sword.
"I just need to wait for the next 299 people, right?"
Zako's mouth twitched when he heard that question. First of all, he was still in disbelief that Rean resisted the pressure of the formation. That's not something an Initial Stage Core Formation Realm should be able to.
"Do you think I would accept that kind of result?"
However, Rean gave a puzzled look at Zako as he replied.
"Why not? The rules said that the first ones to arrive at the other side would be qualified. I'm here now, so I obviously passed."
"Like hell it was! We wanted you to use the flaws in the formation to pass the exam, not brute force!"
Rean gave an even more puzzled look as he responded.
"What are you talking about? The fact that the formation didn't have the power necessary to hold me down was a very obvious flaw. I used it in my favor to pass through it. How come what I did is not valid?"
Immediately, everyone around swallowed their words. Indeed, that wasn't just any flaw. That was a huge flaw! No one could think of a way to refute Rean's words.
"This..."
Rean continued.
"Don't be too sad. Even though it was a very ugly fault, I know you can do better next time."
Zako felt like sending Rean flying with a kick. It wasn't him who put that formation there. Why was he being comforted because of it? He's a Heaven Level Formations Master. He doesn't need it at all!
Still, he calmed down after a while.
"Sigh... forget it. I can't deny that the lack of pressure from the formation was a flaw indeed. Besides, you were ahead of everyone else to start with, so I doubt you wouldn't be between the first 300 anyway. Just get behind me and wait for the rest."
Rean smiled as he moved to the area Zako mentioned. There was another monitoring formation there that Rean used to accompany the other participants.
In the end, it wasn't before thirty minutes later that the first participant came out of the three formations test. It wasn't someone Rean knew, but he could tell where he came from due to his clothes. There were a few spectators close to where Rean was waiting, so he went there to ask the others who that guy was.
"It's Havek Sasamil."
"His Master is also someone from the Formations Guild Main Branch, right?"
"He is. Well, Havek is part of the Sasamil Bloodline, but he isn't a direct descendant."
As Havek walked in Zako's direction, he had a prideful expression on his face.
"Hahaha! It seems like this young Master was the first to come out. Well, everyone praised my talent for formation, so that is to be expected."
Turns out that he was quite a narcissist. However, Havek quickly noticed everyone's weird expressions as they looked at him. Suddenly, he received a Spiritual Sense message from his Master in the crowd.
'Shut up, you idiot! Can't you see the white-haired boy there? Stop humiliating both of us.'
Havek didn't pay attention at first because Rean was close to the other spectators. However, he finally noticed that Rean was inside the area where the qualified participants should be waiting.
"What?!"
He quickly approached Rean before asking.
"Hey, when did you come out?"
Rean scratched the back of his head as he answered.
"Ahem... It wasn't too long. Just thirty minutes."
Havek's mouth twitched. Is this guy trying to pull his leg?
"Are you for real?"
Rean nodded.
"There is no need for you to mull over it. I was just lucky."
Havek nodded.
"Well, it must have been. Wait, I feel like I saw you before somewhere..."
"Ah! Aren't you Qia's hubby?"
"Hu-Hubby?!"
Rean didn't know what to say. Well, it wasn't completely wrong either.
"I see, I see... No wonder that prideful girl took an interest in you. I thought it was only because of Droman's Communication System that she did it, but it seems like you have your own perks as well. Hahaha!"
"Anyway, I expect a good challenge from you in the next phases."
Havek then turned around and went to where his Master was waiting. As for Rean, he couldn't help but think.
'He reminds me of Tissan...'
The next participants then began to come out of the formations test one after the other. The second one was a guy from outside the Capital. His name was Dian Surteri, a Formation Master from Erken Country.
The third all the way up to the tenth ones were all part of the Capital as well. Qia just so happened to be between them.
"Oh! I knew that you would pass the test, but I didn't expect you would come out before me."
Qia smiled as she got close to him. She quickly held his hand as she looked at Havek.
"Indeed, Havek is one of the best between us all, so I guess it's no surprise he appeared before us."
Rean scratched the back of his head as he explained.
"Ahem... In fact, I was the first one to come out."
Qia's smile disappeared as she looked at Rean with a shocked expression.
"Are you for serious? How-"
Just as Qia was about to ask, Havek came running in their direction.
"Hey, hey, hey! I heard how you passed the last formation. That was crazy! I've never thought someone would do something like that. Oh, Qia is here too, it seems."
Qia's mouth twitched as she asked.
"What do you mean by that? Are you disappointed?"
Havek shrugged his shoulders as he replied.
"Not really. You came out when I thought you would, so that's fine. The only surprise so far was Rean. As for the rest, I don't have much interest in them."
Qia shook her head and decided to ignore Havek's attitude. Everyone between the young Formation Masters knew what type of person he was anyway. Complaining about him would bring her nowhere.
"So, you said that my future husband here surprised you. How did he do that?"
Havek immediately nodded with an excited expression.
"Oh, that's right!"
Havek then explained everything. Sure enough, Qia looked at Rean with a weird expression after hearing everything.
"This... isn't that cheating?"
Rean was just about to answer when Havek intervened.
"Are you an idiot? Oh, right. You aren't as good as me, so it's understandable that your head can't see how impressive it was."
Qia really felt like cutting that guy's head now. Nonetheless, Havek ignored her as he continued.
"He could see that the formation didn't have enough power to hold him down. Laywomen like you might have thought that it would be against the rules to break through. However, the formation's weakness to hold him down was a flaw in itself. Can your small mind see it?"
*Bam*
"Ouch!"
Qia couldn't help but kick that guy's leg.
Still, she ignored him soon after and looked at Rean.
"As expected of the man I love, you did well."
Rean, who had practically been a spectator between these two, could only accept the compliment in the end.
