บท 341: Surprise

"Is that so?" the Saint Alchemist was truly surprised that there was someone out there that didn't want his inheritance at all. 

It had been a long time since someone didn't put him on a pedestal when they were around him, and that felt a little refreshing. 

"You do know that even with your little stunt, the choice of choosing the inheritor lies with me at the end, right?" the Saint Alchemist said.

"Eh?" the girl said in surprise. 

"Huh?" the young man who had fully expected to become the inheritor was also taken aback a bit. It was pretty much settled in his mind that he was the inheritor. But now, hearing what the Saint Alchemist was saying, he felt like his world shattered twice on the same day. 

Even the crowd that was gathered for the award ceremony was surprised. They started talking in hush voices, discussing what they had just heard.
