Jason didn't think that there would be a banquet in the basement of the shabby-looking building he entered.

However, after taking a proper look around the room, it was hard to tell whether the young men and women he saw were about to venture into the Mythic Garde or if it was a banquet of the younger generation.

His confusion was clearly visible but the young man with blond hair didn't seem to bother about this as he said

"I doubt that you belong here! It might be better if you go on your own accord, otherwise, I, Suo Jual, will make you go!" 

'Suo Jual? Never heard of that name….wait! The Jual clan? He is a descendant of the Jual clan? Ugh...how annoying" 

Sizing up Suo Jual, Jason could tell that he was arrogant and that it was not only because his family's clan is one of the big families.

His mana core rank was already at the low-Magus rank which meant that he liquefied the mana within his mana core in at least one drop of mana.

Additionally, his mana was transmuted in two elements, indicating that he had two soulbonds that amplified his strength further.

It was obvious to Jason that he was weaker, which was however because Suo looked like he was almost 20 years old.

As such, Jason tried to remain calm, not to act hot-tempered which might create an unfortunate situation inside the Mythic Garden or even here, in the basement.

"If this is the meeting point to enter the Mythic Garden, I'm at the right place. I didn't want to disturb your banquet and only desire to enter the Mythic Garden, nothing else. Don't bother about me. I'll take care of my own business further away, have fun!"

Having said so, Jason turned around as he was about to go in the corner of the room to take care of himself when he heard steps behind him.

Suo Jual suddenly said annoyed

"I didn't allow you to enter the Mythic Garden yet! Also, I didn't end our conversation!" 

Sighing, Jason turned his head to see Suo from the corner of his eye

"I didn't ask you if I can enter the Mythic Garden either. With that in mind, I don't need your permission. You don't even know which clan I belong to, but you could have figured out that I passed the Hidden-Prodigy assessment, otherwise, how would I have found this place without knowing that there would be a banquet! 

You don't need to end our conversation because I did so to avoid an embarrassing situation for you. Shouldn't you be a little bit more mature? Aren't you much older than I am too? You'll only humiliate yourself if you're proud enough to make use of your name and strength to bash someone who's several years younger than you are. 

That's just childish. Please go on with your banquet and we can go our own paths, peacfully...."

Jason finished his short lecture and walked away without caring about the awkward silence behind him.

Only when he sat down on a chair, Jason found in the corner of the room could he see that Suo was still glaring at him, threateningly.

'What is wrong with this dude?' Suo was thinking, not understanding how Jason could remain so calm when he indicated that he might prevent him from entering the Mythic Garden.

This was not something he was allowed to do because his permission was not high enough to create a feud with another clan. At least without a proper reason.

The black-haired youth with golden hair did not only passed the Hidden-Prodigy assessment but his mana core was fully concealed which was an indicator that Jason belonged to a strong clan.

Suo was not sure which clan Jason belonged to but it was obvious to him that the clan was not something he could take lightly.

When he saw Jason's golden eyes that turned cold after he stopped him from walking away, Suo felt an eerie sensation enveloping him.

'I will have to observe him!' He told himself before he put on a bright smile as he turned around to the other guests that would enter the Mythic Garden with him.

"What a rascal..hahaha….He looks extremely young too! Maybe the Mythic Garden will help him to become more mature and careful! Let's eat something..." 

Suo decided that he would just ignore what happened during the last five minutes, and instead of souring his mood, he would try to get to know more about his other guests.

In the end, he wanted them to turn into his tools, not only for the period inside the Mythic Garden but also afterward!

Right now, most smaller clans and families needed something to increase their strength drastically and the Mythic Garden gave them the perfect opportunity! It might allow their descendants to become much stronger than the older generation had ever been before!

If only one of them was able to find and bind a blessed beast, their potential might increase manifold, giving them the chance to change their fate.

With this thought, many clans, families, and companies tried to make ties with the Jual clan.

Suo, who knew about that, allowed a few clans and families to enter the Mythic Garden under the condition that the descendants that would enter the Mythic Garden had to obey him throughout the whole period of six months.

In the beginning, this condition was frowned upon but after these clans and families thought about it, they accepted Suo's request, thinking that their descendants might be able to create an opportunity in which they could form a soulbond contract with a blessed beast.

To create a small group with many loyal underlings, Suo traveled to Terebrean because his younger brother, who was more talented than he was, established his own small group of real prodigies on Canir. 

It was frustrating and angering to know that his younger brother was considered more important to the Jual Clan.

That was solely because of his talent, which forced Suo to step back every single time his brother wanted something he had.

Now, Suo wanted to change everything by searching and binding a blessed being with a powerful blessing, allowing him to become more important than his brother!

While Suo was trying to get to know everyone to figure out the most efficient way to act as a large group inside the Mythic Garden, Jason minded his own business like he said.

Utilizing his three affinities at once, Jason couldn't help but feel at ease when a small black flame, a compressed ice shard, and liquefied poison manifested in his hand.

The liquefied poison was like water, which he could control in any way he wanted.

Jason was resistant to all poisons which he could manifest, thanks to Scorpio's hard work to comprehend the composition of different types of poison.

While playing around with his three affinities, Jason's high proficiency and control were clearly demonstrated, which caused a few young men and women who saw that from the corner of their eye to avert their attention to him.

Seeing that a few guests looked towards the corner of the room, more guests turned around to look at Jason with interest gleaming in their eyes.

Suo also noticed that Jason had three affinities that he could control accurately.

'Not only is his control accurate but the three affinities are extremely stable too. He has to be very proficient with them!... I should stay vigilant against him!'
