Noah's answer made the three warriors stare at him with a shocked expression. The emerald-haired man was the fastest to recover from his shock.

"What a swift technique that was. If I hadn't moved, you would have sliced off my comrade's head before he could even blink his eyes." Those words were spoken with a solemn and grave expression.

It made the brown-haired warrior comprehend the gravity of the situation.

Meanwhile, Noah remained calmed as he sheathed his sword, "Your reaction time is also impressive. Despite moving after me, you were able to pull him out of danger."

"I can see why you are the leader of this group, Noah," spoke the emerald-haired warrior. He soon added, "Greetings, Noah. I am Sakis Melelis, the leader of the group from the main branch of the Origin Sect."

"Main Branch of the Origin Sect?" Noah whispered with a confused expression. He then suddenly realized what the issue was.

Sakis Melelis noticed that look in Noah's eyes and commented, "It seems you understand it now. I have come to question you why the Origin Sect Branch in Veninza Town has sent their own group to the Heavenly Dragon Battleground's Tournament."

"Why did you not participate in the tournament that occurred in the main branch of the Origin Sect where the representatives for the Origin Sect for the Heavenly Dragon Battleground's Tournament were chosen?"

Suddenly, the third warrior from their group asked with a frown, "How can a specific branch of a sect send their group independently? Are you planning to rebel?"

Noah's eyes narrowed at those questions. He didn't expect that these warriors had come to inquire him regarding these issues.

"…Talk to my master," Noah raised his hand, and the Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring on his finger flashed.

Azaroth's figure didn't appear, though. Noah frowned and sent Ardor in his Mystical Spiritual Connection Ring, but it had no effect.

Just as he was wondering whether someone was wrong, his Voice Transmission Stone began to beep.

Noah immediately used his Ardor to connect to the Voice Transmission Stone.

Azaroth asked with a cold tone, "What is it?"

"It's the Origin Sect's Main Branch disciples. What should I do about them, master?" Noah asked with a respectful tone in his voice.

"…I see. Point this towards them," Azaroth ordered.

Noah did as he was instructed, and the three warriors heard Azaroth's voice, "I am Noah's master. You don't need to know my name. Tell me what issue do you have with Noah and his group's participation."

Sakis answered Azaroth, "This guy named Noah and the other warriors have no right to participate in this Heavenly Dragon Battleground's Tournament from the Origin Sect's side. They didn't participate in the Origin Sect's Representative Tournaments from where the participants and the leader for the group to the Heavenly Dragon Battleground's Tournament were chosen."

"I thought that the Heavenly Dragon Battleground's Tournament didn't prohibit the participation of multiple groups from a single sect. At the least, no rule states this," Azaroth calmly replied.

The brown-haired warrior spoke out angrily, "Don't you think it would make us look like idiots if Noah and his group participated in this competition on behalf of the Origin Sect? After all, we put our lives on the line to gain the right to represent the Origin Sect."

He seemed quite angry for the reason mentioned above and the fact that he lost to Noah. He wanted to release his frustrations somehow. And this appeared to be the best possible method.

Noah got a little angry when he heard that brown-haired warrior's rude tone while speaking to Azaroth.

If talking rudely to Noah was a crime deserving of death, then talking rudely to Azaroth was a crime deserving of thousand deaths; at least to Noah, that is.

Just when Noah was about to say something, Azaroth spoke out, "…I see. So that's the issue. Very well, we will change this group's name. Noah won't represent this branch of the Origin Sect."

Sakis was a bit surprised to hear that statement.

Azaroth then added, "Since your issue has been dealt with, you should leave." This time, Azaroth's voice had a commanding aura in it.

When Sakis and his fellow comrades heard it, their instincts screamed at them to run!

The three remained at the location for some moments before they nodded their heads and walked away.

As the three walked away, Azaroth then spoke to Noah, "…Didn't I tell you to call me by using this Voice Transmission Array Stone. You shouldn't have used your ring to call out for me."

Azaroth scolded Noah fiercely.

Noah instantly recalled this instruction and realized his mistake. Azaroth added, "I will forgive you this one time. This shouldn't happen again."

"Yes, master," Noah spoke with a devoted tone.

Azaroth was slightly annoyed because he didn't want to show his appearance to these origin sect disciples.

If they had seen his face, he would have to kill them. It wasn't a good idea for the origin sect branch in Veninza city to rebel against the main branch dynamically.

"Since you can't register this group under the Origin Sect's Branch name, then use another name…." Azaroth soon informed Noah of the name.

"Alright, master," Noah spoke excitedly.

"Good. Inform me if another issue occurs. I will take care of it," Azaroth spoke before cutting off the connection with Noah's Voice Transmission Array Stone.

Noah immediately ran towards the building where the registration of the groups occurred. The registration had closed after the 32 teams had recorded, but the final day remained to make some last-minute changes. Naturally, they had to pay a fine according to what they wanted to change.

Whether it was the name of a member, the name of their group, and so on…

The fine was the heaviest for changing the group's name. After all, this affected the entire group.

Noah didn't care about the fine, though. He was merely following Azaroth's orders.

The fine was merely hundreds of spirit coins.

"The new name will be?" The guy at the registration desk asked with an emotionless tone.

Noah proudly replied, "The Heretical Paladins!"

The man at the registration counter looked slightly surprised at the new name. But the shock soon vanished as he realized Noah was just a little kid.

In reality, Azaroth didn't choose this name because of such a reason. This name was more likely to be approved by the civilians in the future if he went against the Kingdom's common beliefs.

After Noah renamed his group's name, he returned to his subordinates' side and waited.

He asked them to sleep peacefully since the tournament would commence tomorrow.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

In the early morning of the next day, all the groups gathered near the entrance of the Cranian Forest.

Ahead of them were the two guys who registered their groups.

"Now…The King will address you all, and this tournament shall commence."

Those words excited all the warriors present there. Well, except Noah, that is.
