Chapter 77: Sean’s Dream



Sean placed his hand on his chest as he breathed heavily. "M-My lord, I have a presumptuous request."

Hearing this, Fredrinn revealed a look of interest. "What is it?"

Sean was nervous, but he knew that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. He once dreamed of becoming a powerful martial practitioner, but because of his family's financial difficulties, he was unable to fulfill his dreams and ended up becoming a servant of the Firecrown Household.

He thought that he would no longer have the chance to become a martial practitioner, but his encounter with Fredrinn revitalized his hopes.

"I want to become a martial practitioner!" Those were the words that came out of his mouth.

Fredrinn rubbed his chin while staring at the young boy. This kid looked no older than fifteen and was probably a few years younger than Kristine and Olivia. "Why do you want to become a martial practitioner?" He asked.

"It's my dream and I also heard from my parents that martial practitioners earn more money than us servants." He muttered with a look of embarrassment.

"So you want to earn more money?" Fredrinn smiled.

"Yes, my lord! Our family is facing financial difficulties at the moment so I want to help my parents with the expenses. I might be young, but I will work hard! I promise!" Sean patted his chest with a determined look.

"I see." Fredrinn wasn't surprised by this. Many people in Red Sun City were in a similar situation as Sean.

Olivia and Alice who were listening to his story couldn't help but feel sorry for him. They were also from poor families so they understood his situation.

Sean nervously looked at Fredrinn. His response would determine his future.

"Are you aware that only those with spirit roots are capable of becoming martial practitioners?"

Sean nodded. "Yes, my lord. My father told me about it."

"Alright. Follow me to my study. We will test out whether you have a spirit root or not." Fredrinn didn't mind helping this hardworking young man.

Sean's eyes lit up. "Thank you so much, my lord!" He clenched his hands in excitement.

"You can thank me later. We are still not sure if you have a spirit root." Fredrinn could only hope that Sean was one of the lucky few who were born with spirit roots.

Hearing this, Sean felt nervous again.

He followed Fredrinn and the two ladies inside the mansion. He had been a servant for the Firecrown Household for over a year, but this was the first time he had stepped inside the main mansion.

'What a big house!' His eyes widened when he saw the big and imposing hallway.

They passed by a few martial practitioners and servants. Each one of them bowed to Fredrinn and greeted him respectfully. This made Sean's eyes twinkle with admiration.

A moment later, they finally entered Fredrinn's study room.

Sean curiously looked around. 'This room is even bigger than our house!'

At this moment, he noticed Fredrinn taking out an orb from beneath his desk.

"This is a testing orb. It will sense your spirit root once you touch it." Fredrinn didn't explain in detail since he didn't have high hopes for the kid.

Sean nodded in realization. 'So that is actually a testing orb. Amazing! I wonder how it works…'

"Place your hand on the orb. I have to remind you that you will feel a sharp pain once the orb reacts to your spirit root. Don't remove your hand if that happens." Fredrinn warned in a stern voice.

"Yes, my lord." Sean nodded his head vigorously. He was a bit afraid when he heard that it would be painful, but he was prepared to do anything to achieve his dreams. A little bit of pain was nothing!

Sean took a deep breath before he extended his arm toward the testing orb. 'Please, I beg you! I hope I have a spirit root! Please!' He prayed internally as he beseeched the gods.

As soon as he touched the orb, he felt its cold surface. There was no reaction and it made him feel flustered. 'No way! I don't have a spirit root?!' He almost cried on the spot.

Just as he was about to take his hand off the orb, it suddenly lit up with a dim black glow.

Seeing this, Sean almost screamed in joy. He had a spirit root!

The dim glow soon vanished and the orb went back to normal.

Fredrinn sighed after getting the result. It was a bit disappointing, but he already expected it.

Olivia and Alice also stared at Sean with forced smiles. They knew what the black glow represented. Nevertheless, they still congratulated the boy.

"Congratulations, Sean! You have a spirit root!"

"Congratulations!"

Sean smiled from ear to ear. "Thank you!"

"You have a low-grade spirit root," Fredrinn muttered in a calm voice.

Sean's expression changed. He knew the different types of spirit roots and the low-grade was the worst of them all. However, after being momentarily stunned, he revealed an unwavering smile. "It doesn't matter if I have a low-grade spirit root. There are a lot of people who are born without one so I am still lucky."

Fredrinn was impressed by his ideology. "You're right. I know someone who has a low-grade spirit root, but he is now a Core Formation realm martial practitioner." He told the boy.

"Eh?! There is such a fierce person?" Olivia muttered in shock. She knew how hard it was for people with low-grade spirit roots to cultivate so she was stunned by Fredrinn's words.

Alice was also surprised.

"Is that true, my lord?" Sean stared at him with wide eyes. In his mind, Core Formation realm martial practitioners were high and mighty people.

"Of course! Have you heard of Cain? He was born with low-grade spirit root, but he climbed his way to the top despite his lacking potential. There are plenty of ways to increase your cultivation. Having a higher grade spirit root will only make things easier for you. Remember this Sean, potential means nothing without hard work and luck." Fredrinn patted the boy's shoulder.

'Potential means nothing without hard work and luck…' Sean repeated his words in his mind.

Looking at the boy's optimistic gaze, Fredrinn could only hope the best for him.

Truthfully, he only said that to give the boy some confidence.

Cain was a special case among the people who had low-grade spirit roots. Based on his description, that man went through numerous life-and-death situations to achieve his current strength. It was evident in his battle scars.

[You have found a hidden gem! Take extra care of Sean and he will soon reveal his true talent! Find out his hidden talent! Rewards: Level Up Card, 2500 Fate Points, and Primordial Devil Arcana!]

Fredrinn widened his eyes in disbelief.

"I won't disappoint you, my lord! I will work harder than the rest and follow Sir Cain's footsteps!" Sean swore that he wouldn't slack off.

"So it's Sir Cain… Unbelievable! I never thought that he had a low-grade spirit root…" Olivia couldn't believe her ears. Cain was the second most powerful subordinate under Fredrinn's command so she thought that his spirit root was of a higher grade.

Fredrinn ignored Olivia's muttering and looked at Sean with a shining gaze. "Good! I believe that you will succeed! I will ask Cain to personally guide you. With his experience, I think he will be the perfect teacher for you."

"Really?!" Sean's voice increased in volume.

"Absolutely! However…" Fredrinn's expression suddenly turned serious.

Sean looked at him in anticipation.

"Once your strength reaches a certain standard, you will have to join my guards unit." Fredrinn didn't want to let this boy escape from his grasp. The system will never spout nonsense so there must be something special about Sean.

Once Sean's talent is unlocked, he might even one day become a renowned martial practitioner who could stand shoulder to shoulder with Olivia and Alice who both had excellent-grade spirit roots!

Just thinking about it made Fredrinn look forward to the young man's future.

"You want me to join the guards unit?!" Sean thought that he heard it wrong.

"That's right. What do you think?" Fredrinn was like an adult who was fooling a child for his candy.

"I agree!" Sean didn't even hesitate. He had seen the cool-looking gears of the guards unit and it made him feel incredibly jealous.

"Great! Tomorrow, you will follow Cain and start training with him. He is quite the scary man so you have to mentally prepare yourself." Fredrinn gave him a stern warning.

"Yes, my lord! I will do my best!" Sean nodded his head with a resolute expression on his face.

Alice and Olivia didn't expect that Fredrinn would invite Sean to join his guards unit. They didn't even get this kind of chance so they looked at the boy with mixed feelings.

Fredrinn noticed their expression and smiled knowingly at them. "I have better plans for you." He whispered.

His words reassured them.
