The Tale of the Void Emperor-Novel

Chapter 322: First reward, Library-1

After announcing the rewards that made most of the spectators enviable, The middle-aged man concluded the competition as everyone started to leave the big competition stadium.

Drizzly used chaos card to contact Athan and told him about her plans.

And after Athan told her that he would stay here for the protection against any trouble that might arise due to demon Xubaji, she also decided to leave for the Dosflame region without returning back to the Gelamix town.

Since there is still more than a year before the Penta region tournament starts, Drizzly told Athan that she would return after a year.

After the competition was over, The top ten competitors were sent to an underground hall.

The middle-aged man also arrived there shortly after they appeared in the small hall.

He looked at the top ten competitors with a smile and said, " First, We will be going to the better quality library where you will pick your scrolls. This library has slightly more collections than the library, where competitors from rank eleven to rank thirty went to pick their rewards. "

After saying this, The middle-aged man waved his hand at the wall of this small hall before speaking, " Also, You can call me Mr. Devon. Now let's go. "

He started walking towards the wall that started to change shape when he waved his hand previously. The wall actually revealed a door due to something done by Devon.

Athan, Sen, and others followed him through the door as they appeared in another hall, but this one was filled with shelves of scrolls.

" As you can see, there are three sections. The first section contains shelves of 1-2 star scrolls, the second section contains shelves 3-4 star scrolls, and the third section contains shelves 5-star scrolls. You can start searching for scrolls now. Also, remember that each of your actions is observed by other people, so don't try to do anything funny like stealing the scrolls. "

.

.

Athan and others started to look through the shelves.

There were six big shelves for 1-2 star scrolls, Nine shelves for 3-4 star scrolls, and five shelves for 5-star scrolls.

The scrolls were slightly opened, which displayed the name of their technique or method and a small introduction.

Athan also went to the second section to look for 3-star scrolls, which he will need after he breakthrough from the Tier-1 order base.

He had already decided on what star scroll to pick.

After looking through the 3-star scrolls shelves for twenty minutes, he grabbed three scrolls.

The first scroll he picked was a 3-star essence order method called Aegis Starwood of Highland.

Since he needed to increase his defense, He picked an essence order method with defense-oriented chaotic power.

The second scroll he picked was a body order method called Harmony of Giant.

And the third scroll he picked was an essence order technique called Spiraling Cave of No Entry.

Athan liked the concept of this defensive technique and chose it without hesitation. Although, he felt that the name of this technique could have been better.

Afterward, Athan thought for a moment and decided to skip 4-star shelves and directly moved to 5-star shelves.

Seven of them were looking at the 5-star shelves, and adding Athan increased the number to eight.

' Looks like no one actually lacks the scrolls, but...' He guessed that since the collection of 5-star scrolls in this library was big, they might pick up some good methods or techniques here.? He then also started to look for 5-star scrolls.

Someone like Sen didn't need order methods. Well, Considering her backing, She wouldn't need order techniques too.

But she knew that this library might contain some suitable techniques and that's why she was looking at each one of them carefully.

Athan was at the other side of the exact shelf where Sen was looking at the scrolls.

After reaching this part, Sen went to the other side and saw Athan, but she turned her attention to the shelf after glancing at him.

After a minute, Athan and Sen's eyes fell on the same scroll, and both reached out their hands at the same time.

They instantly noticed each other and increased speed, but Sen was faster as she grabbed the scroll.

But Athan also managed to grab a corner of it, and he didn't intend to leave it.

Sen grinned at Athan before pulling her hand after putting some force, " I was first. "

Athan indifferently looked at her, but he tightened his small grip on the corner of the scroll, refusing to let it go.

Devon noticed this and smiled wryly before walking towards them.

" Don't put too much force on the scroll. First, Give me the scroll. "

Hearing this, Sen said to Athan with a small pout, " Remove your grip from it first."

Athan shook his head, " No. you first. "

Devon sighed and just stretched his hand as he grabbed the middle of the scroll before speaking, " Release your grips from the scroll, you two. Now! "

Athan and Sen looked at each other for a sec before they both released their grip at the same time.

Although Devon got the scroll, He also started to have a headache, ' Who should I give this scroll to? Simply giving to one of them would dissatisfy the other one. There needs to be some kind of a proper reason. Hmmm...'

Athan and Sen looked at Devon, who also stared at them while thinking about what to do. He also can't let them fight to decide to ownership of this scroll.

Sen already voiced her dissatisfaction seeing Devon entering into a daze, " Hey old man Devon, I was the first one to grab it, and I got the major part of it. So it should belong to me. "

Devon looked at Sen and then at Athan, who simply shook his head with an indifferent face towards him. Athan's face cleared showed that he also wanted the scroll.

" Umm....cough. Let me think for a bit. "

Devon became slightly embarrassed as he started thinking.

But after a few seconds, Athan suddenly spoke, " I have a way to determine who should possess the scroll in the end. "

Hearing him, Both Devon and Sen looked at him.

" Humph, It better be fair and square. "

Sen snorted and said. She was going to reject at first but thought about it and decided that she would at least hear what Athan has to say about his supposedly way to determine who should possess the scroll in the end.
