422 Becoming a Great Country!
“Well, since I said everything I should say. Ceterus would now take the stage again.” As he said this, Fein bowed to the audience before withdrawing from the limelight.
Ceterus showed a thumb up to him, stepped to the center of the stage, and gave a polite smile to the audience. “Now, since we finished introducing our newly promoted S rank. Isn’t it time for the ceremony of San Fernando? Please welcome the leaders of the leading countries of the Xeno Great Alliance!
Iverson De Guzman! The leader of the strongest country! The number one in the body cultivation, and top 12 in the official S rank list!
Next to him, Yamamoto, leader of Felmundia, the second strongest country after Hosu, also belongs to the S rank official list. One who mastered the art of darkness! Then on Iverson’s left side, Edward Bundy, the king of San Luebisto Kingdom, the third strongest great country in the Xeno Great Alliance, there’s also the one who acquired the youngest chess grandmaster in the history of the past, leader of Vidayas country... Jake Vargas. And lastly, Bruce Hemenes, the president of San Fernando country that was about to become a great country now!”
Ceterus stopped immediately, as he couldn’t recall what achievement Bruce had achieved. He knew that Bruce was only a puppet that act at the orders of Johan, Red, Zalmond, and Zaro, the true masters of San Fernando who pulls the strings behind the scenes.
“Please come and step on the stage with me!” Ceterus added.
Iverson, Yamamoto, Bruce, Edward, and Jake looked at each other, stood up from their respective seat, and went toward the stage.
Ceterus shook the five’s hands with even a fist bump with Jake, whom he was most close with.
“Well, who would speak from the five of you?” Ceterus asked, but his eyes were fixed on Iverson, who had a box in his hands.
.....
Yamamoto, Bruce, Edward, and Jake stepped aside at the same time and pointed at Iverson.
“The leader of the strongest country should be the one to announce this important thing.” Yamamoto shrugged.
Iverson didn’t say anything. But took out five medals made of platinum from the box that he had carried. Then he cleared his throat for a moment before he opened his mouth. He faced the audience with a cordial smile and says. “As the president of the Hosu country, I hereby announced that San Fernando would become a great country from today after they fulfilled the requirement!”
The audience then gave loud applause, while the ones the degu that came from San Fernando jumped on the spot because of joy with their fist clenched and flushed cheeks.
“Fuck! Our San Fernando is finally a great country like the Hosu, Felmundia, and San Luebisto!”
“We should celebrate. Let’s go to the tavern tonight. Drinks and food are on me!”
“Really!? Jacob, you’re the best!”
Even those who weren’t from San Fernando had been infected with the happiness of the people. So some still had a smile on their faces. While those that came from Vidayas had complicated expressions. Because now, their country is the only one that wasn’t a great country yet!
...
Under the eyes of people, Iverson walked towards the four S rank degu users. Then Iverson gestured at Fein with his eyes.
‘Does he want me to line up with the four?’ Fein immediately understood. He didn’t say a thing and went beside Zohan. He just wants the event to end so he can get back to the pace of his life.
Iverson first walked in front of Fein, and they are now face to face with each other. Iverson smiled and hung the platinum medal on Fein’s neck. “This medal is for the strongest rising genius in our history, youngest S rank, and hope of San Fernando. I hope you continue your momentum and let your shine reach every part of the continent.”
“Thank you.” Fein bowed slightly and curiously fiddled with the medal on his neck. ‘I didn’t expect that my first medal would be like this.
Fein could still remember that when he was young. He wants to receive a medal in school. Though he didn’t get it because of his laziness and lack of passion for school at that time. Now he didn’t expect that he would receive a medal! Though from a different world. Nonetheless, he was still in a good mood.
Iverson just smiled and walked to the next person... Zohan Eunido. But at this time, some activity was happening in Iverson’s mind.
‘He was a monster!’ What everyone didn’t know. Iverson felt a firm pressure after he stood in front of Fein. He doesn’t know why... He could clearly feel a dangerous breath from Fein’s body. It’s the instinct that naturally appeared to him after he lived for years fighting dangerous opponents. He wasn’t afraid, but he felt excited!
Iverson could say that he has the toughest physique on the continent. He had tempered his body in all kinds of ways and reached a level that the opponents in the realm couldn’t hurt him anymore. Even a siege of five or six S ranks in the official list was nothing to be afraid of except from rank five to rank one. He still had to guard against the top 1-5.
Still, it had been a long time since he felt a sense of threat! This is incredible in itself... After all, being able to trigger his danger perception means Fein had the ability to injure him or something like that!
‘Did he really just got promoted?’ Iverson tried to calm down his heart. Then he hung the medal to Zohan absent-mindedly.
Zohan cooperated and lowered his head so Iverson would be able to put it to his neck easily. He felt a lot of emotions in his heart. Like he was floating in the cloud! After the platinum medal had been put on his neck, he realized that he wasn’t dreaming! Their country finally became a great country! And crossed the thin line that prevented them from taking the step for hundreds of years!
Just like that, Iverson finished giving the medals and personally putting them on the five S ranks of San Fernando. Then the event ended, and it caused a ripple throughout the continent! Of course, Fein used his probe to record the information of important people.
