"What?"
"There is a new Transcendent Level Expert born from the training camp?"
"Impossible. Do you know how hard it is to become a Transcendent Level Expert?"
"But everyone has witnessed it and even the three Transcendent Level Experts from the government side have confirmed his breakthrough."
"Who is he? Where does he come from?"
"He is 'that' Arthur from Hem and Din."
"This…"
The information spread like wildfire, shocking the entire world. After all, the US Base wasn't the only one that paid close attention to the training camp. Even the union and United Asia were trying to see whether Theo had the ability to do it or not.
And it seemed that Theo didn't give an empty promise.
Theo managed to do it within two days. It might look like he was lucky to be able to do it, but no one seemed to deny the fact that Theo gave him the opportunity to reach that stage.
After all, even if the people who came from the influence sided with the government, they gained a lot of things from the training camp.
Still, the one who was shocked the most was none other than the leader of the Hem and Din Group. Knowing that his strongest fighter had become a Transcendent Level Expert brought him so much joy that he almost passed out the moment he heard the news.
Hem and Din Group might be quite big in normal people's eyes, but with the addition of the new Transcendent Level Expert, they could go directly to one of the top groups.
That was why the leader dropped everything he had scheduled in order to visit Theo directly while confirming the breakthrough.
It was already past midnight, but Theo still received him pretty warmly.
"Welcome, Mr. Rick Hemdall." Theo smiled gently as if he wasn't bothered by his sudden visit.
The leader was an old man that seemed to be over one hundred years old. But because of the news, he looked like he was twenty years younger.
He politely bowed to Theo while gently shaking his hand. "Thank you for welcoming me, Sir Theodore Griffith. I apologize for my sudden visit…"
Theo nodded. "I can understand that, don't worry. Let me lead you to him."
"Please."
The two immediately walked into the hotel. As expected, the people were taking a peek at their meeting.
A part of them was jealous of their achievement. A part of them was wondering what they should do to get that opportunity.
But one thing was clear. They were investigating the Hem and Din group immediately. Even the government was trying to take advantage of this to gain another Transcendent Level Expert.
However, they encountered one big problem. Among the influences that participated in the battle, Hem and Din had always sided with Theo's group, trying to give some clarification about Theo's group and their role.
And with the sudden breakthrough, they surely would have a closer relationship.
Those who had been called by Theo immediately became the focus. They were trying to get the chance.
However, Theo didn't care about their opinion currently. After all, he was sure that there would be a conflict among them pretty soon.
So, he just focused on bringing Rick to meet the new Transcendent Level Expert, who was obviously guarded by Rea and another fighter came from the group.
When Rick saw Arthur lying on the bed, he tried to observe him carefully, wondering if there was something different from him.
"Is he going to wake up?" Rick asked.
"He should be waking up within a few hours to a few days, depending on his circumstances. However, if you are not sure, you can check his mark," Theo replied while approaching Arthur, showing the mark that had appeared on Arthur's body. This was the mark of an Order after all.
Rick frowned when he saw the mark. Theo even pointed at the mark as if telling him to touch it.
Out of curiosity, he followed his instruction and tried to feel the mark. In that instant, he suddenly felt something different from Arthur, startling him.
"Haaa…" Rick was taken aback, taking a step back out of reflex. The expert that came with him immediately tried to protect him, wondering if that was an attack.
Theo didn't say anything since Rick would be the one to reveal what he found.
"This is… so magical." Rick gasped. "Although I'm not as strong as Arthur, I'm also a Mythical Rank Expert. I can feel there is something different from his Magic Power…
"It feels like there is a new entity in his power and that entity is the one repelling me. Although it's faint, I think I feel the different Magic Power… Is this the different color of Magic Power?" Rick looked at Theo with an astounded face.
"Certainly. The mark is a kind of recognition of the new power. And that mark becomes a bridge between him and this new power.
"However, because this new power is stronger, far stronger than a normal Magic Power, it needs six months to fully integrate with the new power. In other words, you need six months to fully change the color of Magic Power.
"Before that, he will have some trouble in handling the new power since the Magic Power is still the old one while his ability is a new one. But in the next six months, he will surely have a qualitative leap every single day.
"That's what is going to happen to him. So, congratulations, Mr. Rick." Theo smiled.
Rick shook his head. "No, I should be the one to thank you. Arthur was an orphan that I adopted to the family… he always helped me without asking for anything. So, I always wanted to give him something big to repay him. I'm glad that it works out somehow.
"Arthur has told me that he has discovered a lot of things after you called him and personally guided him. So, I would like to thank Sir Theodore Griffith for helping him." Rick looked at Theo with a serious expression. "If you need anything from us, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'll do my best to complete it."
