Chapter 19: Rewards (1)

Elior blinked twice, shaking his head. Teleportation causes some nausea at low levels. At the end of four days of trial, he felt quite tired. He had exhausted his poor body more than twice in the test. Now he was more relaxed and lay down on the floor, exhaling a deep breath. The silver sword that he took from Renal was with him as well. It was a delightful addition, though he did not prefer sword as his weapon.

He was in the summoning room again and found the little pixie hovering in the air lazily.

But this time she was looking at a piercing gaze as if wanted to see his very being.

"Oh right, I won the bet," Elior laughed with all his teeth. "Congratulate me please."

Yemrmix's lips hung open like she was having a problem conversing. "I think you may have broken the all-time record of the trial zero."

"No big deal," Elior smiled nonchalantly. Trial zero was nothing compared to the actual test where your life was on the line.

"No big deal?" the little pixie's lips twitched hearing the human's word. "You just beat the previous highest record holder by a few dozen times, and you are saying it is no big deal."

"How so?" he asked. He became quite curious. Even if he beat all the previous record holders, it should not be enough to beat them by even a dozen times, much less a few dozen. "Are they that incompetent?"

"They are not incompetent, you are just strange," Yemrmix glared at him. "Check your status window first. I'll calculate the credits you would be rewarded. It's a fu*king mess."

Elior nodded and opened his status window. There was quite some progress, but nothing alarmed him.

He saw some growth in all the attributes, physical or mental. Elior had not wasted much time in the trial. It was plausible that his attributes grew. When his eyes moved to the tab where skills were mentioned figured out how he beat all the previous record holders by dozens of margin.

In the trial, they get rewards for every possible thing that helps a guardian in their way that include levelling up and growth of skills too. There was no possible way for anyone to level up his skills in this short time of four days. In that short time, be it spearmanship, Mana applications, focus or anything, had levelled up more than it was possible.

Elior had turned off the translucent massage because it was annoying to look at every time new information came. He left it like only the important message would be delivered to him. And the growth of skills was not important to him, so he did not know his skill grew this much. Any average person would take at least a decade to grow this much skill.

Any average person would take at least a decade to grow this much skill. But not Elior. He was not your average person, not to say his rich battle experience of his past life.

"Finally, I am done calculating rewards for you," Yemrmix finally stopped with her calculation.

And then notification after notification showered in front of Elior.

[Congratulations to Guardian Apprentice Elior for coming first in the trial.]

[You are awarded the title: Sweeper of the Trial zero.

With this title you will get some benefit in the next trial.]

"Sweeper of the Trial Zero," Elior could not but laugh out. "There was such a thing."

He recalled he just joked about it with Yemrmix, and now it turned into a title. No matter, at least it would give something—he would accept it all.

[2 free attribute points are awarded.

[Additional 2 free attribute points are awarded as the top performer of the trial.]

[100 credits are awarded for learning Archery LVL 1.]

[200 credits are awarded for learning Archery LVL 2.]

[. . . ]

[800 credits are awarded for learning Archery LVL 4.]

[100 credits are awarded for learning Spearmanship LVL 1.]

[12800 credits are awarded for learning Spearmanship LVL 7.]

[500 credits are awarded for learning Mana Application LVL 1.]

[32000 credits are awarded for learning Mana Application LVL 6.]

[4000 credits are awarded for learning Spell mastery LVL 3.]

[. . .]

Elior almost bored himself reading all the text appearing in his retina. Each credit for a skill doubled for the next level, while not all skills begin with the same number of credits. It was based on the importance of skills. For Spearmanship LVL 1 he was awarded 200 credits, but for Mana Application Level 1 he got 500. It was clearly biased towards certain contestants, but it was quite fair to all contestants.

Like why would you not want a contestant that has performed exceptionally well? This was the system the 7 deities made together that heavily rewarded exceptional guardian candidates. Though humans did not forget to take advantage of anything or any loophole.

Like how Renal, Scarlett and Mopher appeared in the test.

Awards for learning skills finally finished. Then he was awarded for the ability and Elior became quite dumbfounded seeing that.

[0 credits are awarded for awakening the Eye of Genesis.]

[1000000 credits are awarded for awakening the unique ability: Abstraction of Void.]

"Hey, Yemrmix, why were there no points for the Eye of Genesis?" Elior asked curiously. He had no recollection of an ability like that. He never even heard about it in his previous life, but now he was the owner of it. There seemed to be a mystery behind it.

"I have no idea," Yemrmix answered flatly. "The system has no information on it, so you get nothing."

"Sweet," Elior mocked. And he couldn't do anything other than mocking.

The notification started again.

[8000 credits for breaking the charm spell on 8 females.]

[8000 credits are awarded for helping other contestants.]

"You know, I don't really like gaining money for this kind of thing," he said. "But I will take it."

It was the way the system tells the guardian to do good to others, but Elior really did not like being credited for doing what his heart desires. But he would accept that. But the next notification was hard for him to accept. There were few things wrong in the system.

[1000 credits are withheld for severely injuring fellow participants.]

Elior snorted, but did not complain, not because it was only a small sum, but because it would achieve nothing.

[117800 credits are awarded for collecting 1178 trial tokens.]

[Guardian Apprentice Elior had earned In total 1298400 credits for the trial.]

[Adding a multiplier of 10 to the credits for coming in first in the trial.]

[Total Guardian Credits: 12984000]

"Over Twelve million credit," Yemrmix flew closer to him and said. "Even most contestants of trial one or two did not earn this much."

Elior's interest was somewhere else. "So I get 10 multipliers for coming in first," Elior frowned. He did not know this before. "Is it only for the first trial or more?"

"It is only for Trial Zero, One and Two. Moreover, not just the first percipant gets the multiplier; all in the top 5 get multiplier. But it is not as much as being first. For example, the second place gets 6 times, and third place 4 times, and the last two-three times and two times, respectively." Yemrmix answered.

Elior nodded in understanding. He never even came closer to the top ten in the first three trials. All the trials heavily depended on combat strength, while in the first part of his previous time, he was only a Mana Engineer, specialised in crafting. His legend only grew after his third-class advancement when he chose something other than an auxiliary class. In this time he won't make that mistake again.

"So give me the other prize if left," Elior commented. "I still need to buy a few things."

"The credits are just some money to use on yourself. The real awards are now," the Pixie said. "The top ten of the trial are given a chance to choose one item from this list."

As Yemrmix finished her sentence, a list appeared in a translucent window.

[1. Box of Luck

2. Unknown Treasure Chest

3. Ability according to the contestant's choosing (Below Unique)

4. Water of Beginning - Five Droplets

5. Rosechar's Ring

6. Body Cleansing Potions 5x

7. Skills according to the contestant's choosing (Below Unique)

8. 0.5 sq. metre block of dimension pocket.

9. 1 million guardian credits.

10. A Third Order Mana Stone.]

Elior gasped. The rewards were better than he had expected. He knew most of them apart from the Rosechar's Ring.

"I can only choose one," Elior felt a little pity.

The Box of luck depended on luck and so was the treasure chest, though it was guaranteed to have some treasure in it. Then came the Ability—it was quite tempting even though it was below Unique level. There was some very useful ability even in the normal and special tag. Compared to that, skills held little regard to Elior. Probably because he already had the skills, he needs and for stuff, he won't be satisfied under Unique. Water of beginning was another useful thing as important as the ability. It was a key ingredient for some important potions.

Body cleansing potion, Dimension Poket and mana stone are things that could be easily found with enough credits. So Elior looked at the Ring. "Can I see the details about the ring?"

"You can not."

Elior sighed.. "Then give me the Water of beginning."
