Chief Osro still couldn't believe that there was a genius mana warrior in his village.
"We need to get this girl into our family!" Chief Osro stood up and slowly smiled, thinking about his plan.
"A super genius! Whoever wins among my sons will marry that girl. I control the entire village, so no one will oppose my plan!"
"Hehehe, Chief Osro, the young chiefs will definitely fight over her. She's so beautiful, and I'm sure no one in the village can compare to her."
Chief Osro nodded and laughed.
"But Chief, there's a problem. She has a brother who's a 3rd level Gathering Mana," the servant said.
The servant mistook Asroth and Asrah as siblings. However, it wasn't really 31a mistake, as Asroth indeed considered Asrah as his sister.
"3rd level... a decent talent. Alright, after the tournament, talk to this girl's brother and do everything to convince him to agree to my plan of marrying his sister to my son. Bring plenty of gold coins and promise him a beautiful house." Chief Osro ordered.
Chief Osro was in a good mood because if he could marry Asrah to one of his sons, their village would become stronger, and he couldn't measure the benefits he'd receive if Asrah got into Gohar Academy and became a top student there.
As for Asroth, Chief Osro planned to make him the captain of their hunting troops. His talent wasn't bad either and would be a useful tool for him.
"Understood, Chief," the servant replied and left.

The tournament was about to start, but the talk about Asrah had not died down.
She had made a significant impact on the people.
Almost no one knew Asroth's family because they had only been in the village for a few months. So, the entire Feather Village was shocked that there was a genius in their small village.
Many of the Mana Warriors entering the tournament no longer hoped to become the champion. Even the Chief's sons, whom they feared, were only at the 5th level Gathering Mana, while Asrah was at the 7th level. What could they do?
A few moments later, Chief Osro was on the stage.
"Good morning, my beloved Feather Village. Today, we will start the long-awaited tournament!"
Everyone quieted down and became excited.
The rules were announced one by one. Any weapons and tricks were allowed in the fight, but killing was not allowed in the tournament.
After the rules were given, the tournament began!
Asroth sat with his eyes closed, playing with Asrah's hair beside him. He was thinking about which seeds to plant next inside the Time Stone.
"Woahh! The young chief is the first to fight!" exclaimed a spectator.
"Yeah, I heard he has reached the 5th level Gathering Mana," another replied.
The eldest son of Chief Osro, named Riko, walked to the center. He had a large build and was clearly experienced in fighting.
His opponent was a 2nd level Gathering Mana.
After a few exchanges, Riko's opponent was thrown off the platform by Riko using a Magic Skill.
After announcing the winner, the next match was called.
"Next battle, Asroth vs. Lorok!"
Asroth lazily walked to the platform.
