Chương 15: Martial Seekers Sect (2)
A clatter had broken out when the apparition above Gareth disappeared. Those on the queue behind him, and those on the other queues could not stop talking about it. The phenomenon had not been covert in any form. It was hard for him to keep a low profile with that large apparition above his head, and he had become the main subject of the current uproar.
The group of disciples who were in charge of recording and guiding the new disciples all had amiable miens as they interacted with Gareth.
A talented person such as this new disciple was going to have greater privileges in the sect. It was best to be on good terms with such a person.
From the person recording his information, who greeted him with an amiable smile and the friendly word of brother being thrown into every sentence. There was also the person who had volunteered to escort him to the main sect, which was not far from the test venue. It was a whole new level of being treated well.

Somewhere on the sect walls, there were five elders facing the direction where the test was taking place. Everything happening over there fell perfectly within their sights.
These five sect elders who were distinguished by their deep black robes, and their deep cultivations which they didn't hide, all saw the phenomenon from Gareth's test. They saw all, but despite the waves of powers emanating from them, no one could catch a glimpse of them standing on that wall.
"This year is a very good year for our Martial Seekers sect. Two perfect grade five talents in a single test. Haha." One of the elders, a female gave a soft laugh after saying those words that expressed her joy.
The other elders were also in a good mood. Occasions like this were something every sect desired.
An elder sighed.
"Since that girl appeared six years ago, I thought our sect has used up our accumulated luck since countless generations. This situation is a wonderful surprise. Not only one, but two."
"There is no need for all those talk of luck. Perfect grade five talents are rare. Even the other sects here will rarely have one join them in a few decades. Our sect is a good sect, and it is only natural for talents to gather here." An elder with a rough voice said.
The others only threw him a special kind of look. He made a whole good lot of points, but...
"What is the plan for these new geniuses? Do we follow the same path we used for that girl?"
"Let them grow on their own. These geniuses should be given free reign. We will only guide them if they stray. It worked with that girl, why should it not work with these ones?" An elder who seemed to be heading the others said.
The others nodded. It had worked before, why should it not work now?

Under the lead of his enthusiastic escort, Gareth arrived at the sect gates. The disciples guarding the gates, seeing him with the disciple had been surprised, but they too seem to have understood what happened.
He was led to the place where his sect token would be granted. There were other new disciples there who were queueing to get their sect tokens.
The disciple leading him had moved Gareth up the line, uncaring of the others who were discontent with this move.
"This is the new star of our sect, Gareth. Be sure to take care of him well." The senior disciple who had cut the queue for Gareth introduced him to the disciple in charge of granting the tokens.
This disciple raised a brow at the enthusiastic demeanor of this disciple he was somewhat familiar with. However, the little skepticism and uncaring attitude he had evaporated immediately when he saw the slip Gareth handed over.
The information on it gave him a jolt. This was the second time he was seeing something like this in the few days that he had taken this sect mission to register the new disciple's token. Another freak had appeared. A perfect grade five talent.
His lazy attitude flew out of him. He put a smile on his face as he registered the token for Gareth, and handed him the token.
Next was the place where the accommodation in the sect were alloted. It was the same thing happening.
It wasn't that these seniors did not like to show their might and put this new arrivals in their place. It was just that after what happened a few years back with a certain beautiful devil. A devil no one wanted to ever mess with, everyone seemed to have learnt a very deeply ingrained lesson. Never, ever mess with the freaks.
The sect will look the other way, as long as they do not break the core tenet of the sect. Killing fellow disciples. Every other thing was overlooked.
They could bully others, but they could never be bullied. As long as they could defeat you, don't think of ever fighting back with the help of your connections. You could come back for a rematch or a showdown, but how could you defeat someone who superseded you in talent and in terms of resources.
Resources were discounted for them. At some training centers they were given free access. Even the library was somewhere they could go as they please. They were given a cultivation technique others would have to pay dearly to acquire for free. It was a world of enjoyment, at least that was what it seemed like.
The senior disciple leading Gareth around the sect had a thought in his mind. Now that there were two of such people entering the sect together at one time. How exciting was the next few months and the coming years going to be. His eyes glanced at the seemingly amiable Gareth as he had that thought.
"Now that your residence has been settled. Do you want me to show you around, brother Gareth?" He asked.
"You have done more than enough, brother Olive," Gareth said. He was sincerely grateful to this sect brother of his.
"Nothing much. In a few weeks from now, you will be properly introduced and welcomed into the sect. If you need anything before then, brother Gareth, you can pay me a visit at my residence." He gave Gareth the directions to his residence.
"I will be sure to do so, brother Olive."
They parted as Gareth went to his new residence.
