Chapter 1010 Breaking The Rules

“With that said, I really hope that you can allow Hodge to take part in this year’s assessment," Tania said straightforwardly once again as she pleaded to the leader and the eight elders of the Dignified Supernal Sect.

“Your grace, you know that the registration for the assessment is already finished. Moreover, the number of participants this year has reached the upper limit. According to the rules of our sect, we cannot allow having an extra participant.” Timothy, the elder who had expressed his disapproval of Zachary earlier, immediately objected to Tania’s request.

The other elders also began to discuss among themselves.“That’s right. Your grace, even though he is your disciple, if we make an exception for him, I’m afraid that this would create a stir and cause a lot of criticism.”

“The Dignified Supernal Sect has always put emphasis on strictly following the rules, and we never practice favoritism!”

“I also agree with them. Your grace, your request is a bit over the top!”

It seemed that all of them were strongly against the idea of increasing the quota just to make an exception for Zachary, and they had mainly two reasons for this. First, even if Zachary participated in the assessment, no one believed that he could win it, thus it was just a waste of time. The second reason was that if the rules of the sect were broken for his sake, they would receive a lot of backlash from it.

“Reckless? I don’t think so. Hodge is Aunt Tania’s only disciple. Of course, he should be extremely amazing. Sooner or later, he would become a member of the Dignified Supernal Sect. So, why does it matter if he has participated in the alchemist test in advance? Besides, if he didn’t take part in it, would we learn that he is even more talented in alchemy than Fabian? Do you really want to pass on such a rare talent?” Sharon argued firmly.

“Sharon, are you sure that he’s more talented in alchemy than Fabian? How can you prove that?” Kendrick asked with hints of doubt in his voice.

“I saw it with my own eyes yesterday. Hodge’s new record in the Alchemist-testing Pavilion involved the test that even Fabian failed to pass! Aunt Tania said that Hodge didn’t even receive any formal training in alchemy before. He just read all the books in her library before he took the test. And just like that, he broke the record. If that isn’t astounding, then I don’t know what is!” Sharon exclaimed with sincere admiration.
