The Hall Of Selection

"Maybe I'll go check out this new selection of the hero. And see whose going to be my replacement if anyone is." Kai thought to himself smiling. He did feel a little pity for the people, specially now that one of the calamities had arrived.

Every 100 or so years the world would face a new calamity, it could be anything really. Last time it was the darklord and the Kai had defeated him and that too at a very young age. Every 1000 years a new hero was chosen to be the one to defeat the next 10 centuries calamities.

After a 1000 years when the hero either died on retired a new hero was chosen and trained. Typically the heros were older sages who were chosen but Kai was very young when he was chosen. And yet he was the strongest hero to ever be seen, people say that another hero like Hime would probably not appear for another 100k years.

While Kai did say he faked his death in order to free himself of his responsibilities, in reality he left because he was tired of being told what to do. The heros life was already decided after the hero was chosen. The hero would have to do exactly as the decided fate or else I there was a chance for the timeline of calamities to he broken.

And broken it was. For this times calamity the 5 kingdoms were less prepared than ever. Specially now that they had lost their strongest Supreme Sage of all time.

They had less time than ever before to find a new Hero/Supreme Sage. If they did not find someone in time, the world as they knew it would cease to exist.

[A few hours later]

Kai reached the entrance of the hall of choosing. This place was where the next Supreme Sage would be chosen. The ritual was due another 900 years later. But since Kai was found dead, or at least someone who looks like him. They had to do it earlier than ever before.

Kai entered the halls to see thousands of people there to test their luck. To see if they would be the chosen one. Alas! If they only knew the reality of being one. Being but a puppet after the calamities and taking care of calamities like you owe something to them.

He promised himself on top of the chairy blossom peak that day, that he would not be a part of that life anymore. And that he would he true to. He would this time just watch from the sidelines.

As he heads for the viewing area he notices the presence of a young lad, he's leaking a lot of raw energy which is truly impressive, as his raw energy is not even condensed to show killing intent, he literally is showing this much power not even trying how powerful would he be doing so?

Unfortunately the poor boy might even be able to surpass him, but again the keyword is might. If he is treated and trained right he will. Or else he'll just be another wasted hero.

As he is deep in his thoughts he didn't even notice the viewing areas' door had been closed. And once he did notice it was too late 'No!' he said in such a low voice practically unhearable by others.

Dang it, he didn't want to participate he wanted to just watch. But now he either had to get kicked out or stay and watch. He knew what he was gonna do, lose in the first challenge and just observe from the outside.

He went and stood besides the other contenders as he looked at the big stage above all of them. Then in just a few moments came out the announcer of this centuries hero selection hall.

"Hello Everybodyyy! I know this year the hero selection was a little sudden but it is amazing that so many people still showed up to see this challangeee!" The hero selection was not only a competition/challange it was also an entertainment of sorts, as many people came to see who'd be the chosen one, the one to possibly save them all.

This competition was conducted in all 5 kingdoms, and afterwards make the 5 winners fight each other to the death. And the one left at the end is the supreme sage/hero of the next 10 centuries give or take.

"This centuries competition is gonna be much faster than others, as we only have 3 challanges this time instead of the usual 6. We are in desperate need of a new hero of the world as you have already heard the news of Supreme Sage Kai. So, we have picked out the most important 3 challanges to pick the hero faster. May the best of you, WIN!"

Ending his explanation the announcer with a gesture of his hands told the control room person to start the first challange.

The person in the control room gives the announcer a nod then pushes a button inside the room, and puts some of his Qi in the button. Instantly everyone who participated in this process was given a crystal.

"The crystal in your hands is a special crystal. You just need to let your Qi flow into it and it'll show how much raw enegry your packing. Basically it'll tell us if your strong enough to even participate. It has been modified to also display the strength of your raw power, so if you have a power of at least 10 you will be in this competition.

Near or above 15 is considered extra ordinary. So, may only the strongest survive." Saying this the announcer goes back to his seat in the viewing area.

One by one all of the contenders check their power level, some are rejoicing being above 10 some are in sorrow seeing themselves being only 1 or 2 off.

Kai had not even put his Qi in the crystal yet, to be honest he can control is Qi input and output so he could very easily become an extraordinary contender, but he had no intention to be one.

Kai was observing everyone but the young lad was his main focus. The lad had yet to pour his Qi in, maybe he was hesitant to find out his true power. Kai observed for a little while longer and finally the lad had decided to pour his Qi in.

The lad at first closed his eyes. Then he poured his Qi into it. Immediately the crystal glowed like a mini sun and his power meter reached 18. He was truly something else holy.

Seeing this, Kai now wanted to stick around. Sure he could leave and watch from the viewing area. But it was much more fun seeing the competition first hand, and he'd be able to see this lads physical prowess too probably if he stuck around as that would definitely be one of the challanges.

Kai also poured his Qi into the crystal and controlled it to be just above 10 and stayed in the competition without attracting too much attention. Kai saw many more 15,16 level competitors but now one got close to the 18.

"Many capable individuals this time around I see. So why waste time. Let's get to the next challange.."
