After creating the rune's add-on, Axel began to search for the perfect candidate to become the next chosen one. To do this, he asked Heave to show him the information about Esvert cultivators between stages three and seven.

He realized there was a problem as soon as he saw the information.

'There are too many people with those characteristics. Having to decide between all of them is going to be difficult.' Axel thought.

Realizing that browsing through all that information wasn't an option, he looked for ways to reduce the number of candidates.

"Heaven, discard all cultivators above twenty-five years old who haven't reached at least stage five." He said.

"As you order," Heaven replied.

A large portion of the light screens that floated in front of Axel and displayed information about Esvert cultivators vanished one by one. But even after that, there were still too many people for Axel to pick one.

"Now discard any people in an important position inside a powerful faction. It would be boring if we only strengthened those who are already strong." Axel indicated to Heaven.

Following Axel's instructions, Heaven filtered the candidates' list again, leaving behind a few dozens.

'Ok, this is a more manageable number.' Axel said as he began to look at the information.

As he read information about those cultivators, he couldn't help but be surprised at the number of possible candidates to be chosen. Most had interesting life stories, and each had quirks that made them special.

'Maybe I should not choose just one. After all, why should I put all the eggs in the same bag? It is better to plant a few seeds around the world, so even if one fails, I will still get someone to follow my plans.'

After thinking about that, he began to organize each candidate according to their living area. That way, he could choose a few far from each other so they would develop independently for a while before fusing their discoveries over time.

By doing that, he could achieve a greater diversity of techniques, which would lead to a more complex and deep style.

After a few hours of reading and meditating on his decisions, he managed to discard most of the candidates, leaving only six of them on Eden.

'These six seem to be the best, but it would be better if some traveled to Orixe to discover the runes there too.' Axel thought.'Maybe I could hatch a plan to make them travel there somehow.'

Without losing a second, he continued reading more about each of those six cultivators and soon found out that three of them were friends. With that being the case, it made sense for those who would travel to Orixe.

'Oh, look at that. Their academy has been preparing for an expedition for a few months already.' Axel thought as an evil smile appeared on his face.

After reading that, he waited peacefully as time passed in his world. In no time, the expedition toward the "Frostbite Mountain" had begun.

"Heaven sent a group of devil beasts to attack their camp when those three are on watch. Don't kill anyone, but steal all their resources and provisions." Axel ordered.

"As you wish."

After that, he observed how a group of white monkeys raided the cultivators' camp without giving them the chance to defend themselves. Before they realized what was happening, the monkeys were already long gone.

When the magical beasts left, a tall and muscular man approached the three cultivators on watch and began to shout at them. With bulging veins on his neck, the man continued for more than an hour.

When it was finally over, the sun had risen, and the rest of the cultivators were dismantling the camp. Because they had lost their provisions, they would have to return to the city, meaning they had lost their effort of the past few months.

When the expedition returned to the academy, the three companions were sent to the headmaster's office, where they were expelled from the main academy and sent to Orixe's branch.

The headmaster gave them two days to prepare, and after that time, they boarded a ship and traveled to Orixe.

While seeing this, a thought crossed Axel's mind.

'Am I being a bad person? I mean, I changed their lives forever.' He thought.'Well, I plan to make their lives even better, so I think they wouldn't be too mad at me at the end.'
