A collective gasp fell over the crowd. No one had anticipated this turn of events. Traditionally, the one who succeeded in the inheritance would be accepted as a promising disciple to be nurtured for the future. But to be named a Supreme Magus directly? It was unheard of.

Everyone is staring at Kent with shocking looks. Especially the members of the wizard association. The position of supreme is nothing but declaring Kent as the top echelons of blue planet. Every sect master should bow his head to Kent during the coronation ceremony.

"Supreme, please think once more!" Suddenly, the grand elder of the Wizard Association stepped forward, his face etched with concern and disbelief. "This decision is too sudden. How about consulting the Supreme Wand Magus?."

The Supreme Spear Magus shook his head firmly. "Pass the information to the Wizard Summit. Prepare to coronate young master Kent as the 13th Supreme. He will be hailed as the Supreme Arch Magus throughout the Blue Planet. That's an order."

The entire assembly stood in stunned silence, unable to fully grasp the enormity of what had just transpired. Disciples exchanged bewildered glances, and the murmurs among the sect elders and family members grew louder. Many masters and elders of other sects hurriedly communicated with their sects, their voices filled with urgency as they relayed the news.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Kent, still processing the magnitude of the moment, bowed deeply to the Supreme Spear Magus. "I am honoured, Brother. I will strive to live up to this great responsibility and the legacy of the wizard association."

The Supreme Spear Magus placed a reassuring hand on Kent's shoulder. "I have full confidence in you. You will bring new glory to the Wizard Association."

The grand elder, though still sceptical, nodded reluctantly. "As you command, Supreme. We will spread the word."

Many disciples, while envious, couldn't help but feel a surge of hope and inspiration. Masters and elders from various sects continued to communicate the news to their respective factions, their minds already racing with the implications of Kent's newfound status. The world had shifted, and a new era was about to begin.

While Jia felt happy to the sudden events, the three other girls felt envy and anger. Especially, Demonic tree princess Maya, she glared angrily at Kent with grim face.

Just as everyone began moving towards to congratulate Kent, the surroundings changed suddenly with new light.

A brilliant light pierced through the sky, drawing every eye upward. A majestic bird with snow-white wings, shimmering like the first light of dawn, descended gracefully before Kent. Its feathers sparkled with a celestial glow, casting an ethereal luminescence over the gathering.

The crowd cried out in amazement as they couldn't identify the brilliant pet landing before their eyes. Read exclusive content at empire

The bird landed with a soft thud, its wings folding elegantly. From its back, a figure descended—a lady with a regal presence, her aura commanding immediate respect and attention. The moment she touched the ground, Kent's face lit up with pure joy and disbelief.

"Aunt!" Kent exclaimed, his voice filled with excitement and relief. He hurried forward, almost stumbling in his eagerness to reach her. "How come you're here?"

Aunt Eila, her eyes gentle yet firm, looked at Kent with a mixture of affection and concern. She touched Kent face and stared at him with affection. "I came back a long time ago, waiting for you. We are going home."

Before Kent could fully process her words, Aunt Eila turned her attention to the Supreme Spear Magus, who stood with a mixture of surprise and growing unease.

"Kent will not be accepting the position of the 13th Supreme," she declared, her voice ringing with unwavering authority.

"What?!"

"Wh…!???"

The exclamation came as a chorus from the assembled crowd, their disbelief echoing through the air.

The position of Supreme Magus was considered the pinnacle of achievement on the Blue Planet, a rare honor that very few could attain. Even Kent was taken aback by his aunt's sudden declaration. His face showed a mix of surprise and confusion, but he chose not to question her decision.

The supreme spear magus stared at Kent to know his opinion. But after seeing his silent stare, he understood the situation.

The Supreme Spear Magus stepped forward, his face a mask of restrained frustration. "Lady, this position is of immense importance to Kent. Kent will get great benefits with this position. Surely, there must be a way. Please reconsider your decision for Kent."

Eila shook her head firmly. "Kent will never be a slave to the Wizard Association. He is not to be bound by its constraints just for few resources. His future is his own, and he will chart his own path."

The Supreme Spear Magus, though visibly shaken, was taken aback by her firm stance. He opened his mouth to argue further but found no words. His gaze turned to Kent, searching for any sign of hesitation or disagreement.

Kent met the Supreme Spear Magus's eyes with a respectful nod. "I appreciate the honor and the opportunity, but I can only follow my path, as my Aunt says. Thank you brother. I will remember you generosity towards me."

Eila turned back to Kent, her hand reaching out to him. "Come, Kent. We have much to discuss and many journeys ahead."

Without another word, Eila led Kent to the majestic bird. The crowd watched in stunned silence as she mounted the creature, Kent following closely. The bird's wings unfurled, and with a powerful beat, it lifted off the ground, soaring into the sky. The air shimmered with the brilliance of its departure, the crowd left in a state of stunned awe.

The Supreme Spear Magus and the assembled crowd watched as the bird and its passengers became a distant silhouette against the setting sun.

The news of Kent's rejection of the Supreme position spread quickly, leaving many in shock and disbelief. The grand elder and other sect masters exchanged bewildered glances, their minds racing to comprehend the implications of Kent's sudden departure.
