Death... and me

Havek then looked at a few of the cultivators there. "Grupin, Klaus, Kitanda, Orvis, Vigs, bring the disciples and let's go to the palace."

Those were a few of the Formation Masters that Rean and Roan paid to enter the System Sect and decided to stay in the end. They have been teaching the disciples who wanted to learn formations and were also helping in the development of Circuitry Formations. "It's about time!" Sure enough, they were as excited as Havek to finally be able to bring the communication system into the real world.

Luina couldn't help but ask after Havek left. "Why do I feel like I've seen him somewhere?"

"You did." Rean nodded, telling her, "He was that prince of the Sasamil Empire that joined me in the Dalamu Sect. He reincarnated just like you. It's just that he's a Sea Chilling Spirit now. Well, he's currently in his human form, which isn't much different from his past self. That's why you can see the similarities."

"Oh! That super overconfident guy!" Luina immediately remembered the figure. "No, wait! Why am I even wasting time with that? Are you going to explain what's happening here or not? How come you have so many people? Just how big is your Dimensional Realm?"

Rean smiled before answering through a Divine Sense message. 'Don't say it out loud, okay? My Dimensional Realm spans 300 square kilometers.'

"What?!" Luina was even more shocked now. "I already thought about it in the past, but now I'm even more curious. Just who are you two?"

"Hahaha!" Rean laughed in response. "Perhaps I might be able to tell you one day."

A few minutes later, Ganhan returned to Roan's side. He was even more shocked now than before. "Just how did you teach all of them? Some of these cultivators said that they were ranked low, but their knowledge of writing, reading, and math far surpasses most of my own subordinates. The two girls I found that said they were quite high in the ranking were even better than me! You have to tell me how you did that."

Roan shrugged his shoulders in response. "Is it okay for a Rambram Sect member like you to ask the disciple of a sect in a forsaken continent?"

"This..." Ganhan was so impressed with the System Sect's disciples that he even forgot his current position. Ganhan was also affected by the Cultivation Suppressing Formation. Only the supervisors and the participants had the badges that countered against it. But even though that was the case, Ganhan was far above the Space Bending Realm.

Yet, Ganhan gritted his teeth before asking one again. "Fuck it! Just let me learn. When I tried to test the two girls, it ended up with me learning from them instead. Your knowledge of math far surpasses mine. Those two brats weren't even 30 years old! Do you know how humiliating it feels for someone who prides himself on his own knowledge? I feel like I'm a laughingstock."

Roan wasn't surprised by Ganhan's request, saying, "Depending on your contribution to the Butiva Country, I don't mind giving all of you some lessons. But for now, I need you and your subordinates to spread my disciples accordingly to their own strengths and train them in managing the country."

Ganhan finally came back to himself after that. Sure enough, he still had one year left in this place. At first, he absolutely didn't want to take this job. If it wasn't the sect's order, he would have never come to this place to entertain a bunch of brats. But now, he felt like fortune was on his side instead. "Alright, just look how I use their knowledge to the best of their abilities."

Though, Ganhan warned Roan, telling him, "But don't forget. I will only teach them what to do. The development of the country will still depend on your orders. I won't give any ideas as it goes against the rules."

Roan nodded, replying, "That goes without saying. That's why I asked for all the documents regarding Butiva's actual state at the moment so we can properly manage it. After all, we need to conquer all the other countries in Walfure Region before ten years are up."

"Oh-ho..." Ganhan was an experienced man. Naturally, he already knew what needed to be done in order to win this competition. He was curious if Roan's group would notice it at all until the end, but instead... "So you already understand the sacrifices that must be made, huh?"

Roan nodded. "Don't worry. Everything will go according to plan. For now, I will set the foundation that my plan will work on regardless of how it'll turn out."

For some reason, Ganhan felt like he was talking to someone older than him. He could truly feel the confidence in the young man's voice. Well, young compared to himself. After all, Roan was already over 80.

Soon after, he spread his Divine Sense to reach several of his subordinates. 'Glan, Visti, Mamaf...' He called out a bunch of names. 'I want all of you to come here and start screening out these cultivators in the field. Check the fields they're best at and redirect them accordingly.'

'Yes, Elder Ganhan!' Immediately, those subordinates started to carry out Ganhan's orders.

Ganhan then looked at Roan and said, "For better management, I will have to send many of these disciples to other cities in the country. There's only so much everyone can learn in the capital. Are you fine with that?"

Roan nodded, telling him, "If you didn't do that, I would."

Ganhan was happy to hear that. "Good. I'm also supposed to help manage the country's army. How do you want to go around that?"

Roan shook his head, replying, "There will be no need for training in this regard. I already have the right people for the job." Following that, Roan waved his hand. Immediately, another bunch of cultivators appeared in another part of the field. "When it comes to commanding and fighting, you are the best ones in the sect. That means all of you will take the important positions in the army and will be directly under my and Rean's command. It's time for you to show me everything you've learned."

"Yes, Sect Master!"
