Chapter 104 - Talent Test
Seeing as the first person\'s test went well, he was hopeful that his could also do the same.
but just as his thoughts were running wild, a cold voice interrupted
"Red, poor talent. Next!"
depressed the contestant moved to the side for the next person.
"Red!"
"Red!"
"Orange!"
The first person seemed I be an anomaly as after him, most of the contestants who went up only managed to get the colours red and orange. So only common or poor talents occurred up to that point.
just as Dante was thinking all this, suddenly a young man walked up to the Crystal ball and placed his hand on it and as he did a dazzling purple light flashed on it
"Purple light! "
"an excellent talent!"
gasps of admiration rang out from the crowd as they watched on
"Good! Who would have thought that I would to get an excellent talent in my batch this year? Seems like my luck is really on the turn for the better." Laughed the examiner
"Next!"
hearing this call, Dante knew he was up next and confidently walked up to the Crystal ball.
Slowly, Dante placed his hand on the Crystal ball, but to Dante\'s surprise, he saw a red glow release from the tower.
\'Shitt!!\' Thought Dante
\'why the fuck is my talent so low? It doesn\'t make any sense at all!\'
But Dante couldn\'t afford to waste time wondering why his talent was so low, he wouldn\'t go out just like that!
"Dragonification!"
instantly a beacon of silver light burst forth from Dante as his body underwent many changes.
Glowing silver scales started to pop up out of his skin as his hands quickly became clawed, but perhaps most magnificently of all, a pair of splendid crystalline horns grew out of his head, glistening under the sunlight showing off the elegance and beauty of the silver dragon
Dragons themselves were magical creatures.
From the moment of their birth, Dragons were already born as masterful manipulators of magical energy.
But of all dragons, it was the Silver dragons were the ones closest to magic.
Their mana manipulation was so advanced that if compared to other dragons, it would be as ridiculous as comparing a master to an apprentice.
They were just on a different level!
So as soon as Dante activated his dragonification and gained the aspects of a silver dragon, his spirit energy affinity started soaring
First the Red light changed to orange, then yellow and then even purple until it suddenly burst into a blinding gold light!
But the effects didn\'t stop there as the light kept getting brighter and brighter until the device couldn\'t even take it anymore and completely shattered!
"BANG!"
Shards of glass and sparks of golden light exploded in Dante\'s hand as he watched the device overload!
Dante turned around to see the stunned faces of everyone else, but realistically, who could blame them?
It would be one thing if he did the unheard of and got a gold rank talent, but this monster even surpassed that and broke the device!
The crowd didn\'t even know how to react to that. They were left stunned for words!"
\'Beyond Gold.... what the hell am I even seeing! The principal must hear of this, no, forget the principal even the king has to hear of this!!\'
"Well, seeing as the last person had done the test, It\'s about time you move onto the next stage!"
After getting the confirmation from the examiner, Dante ignored the looks as around him as he began moving on the path to the next stage.
...
Back in the room With Vincent and Jarred.
Vincent watched on with pure horror as he watched Dante not only achieve Golden level aptitude in his talent test but he even went on to surpass that and even shatter the talent testing device!
looking at the scene, Vincent raised his shaking hand as he pointed at the holographic screen in front of him
"Jarred, your grandson...are you sure he\'s even human!"
Jarred wasn\'t surprised as he continued sipping his tea casually.
"Vincent, I already told you, that boy,.
he\'s more talented than anything I\'ve seen in my entire life!
So now the only question is whether he\'s talented enough to become the Dragon Son of your Department of War and Combat?"
Hearing this, Vincent quickly replied,
"Talented enough? Of course, he is talented enough!All I have to do now is make sure the other departments don\'t manage to steal him away!"
Vincent didn\'t sit still for another second and quickly began to move
"Jarred, what are you waiting for? Don\'t tell me you just want to sit there and watch?"
Jarred calmly got up and smiled as he and Vincent rushed out of their room to go meet Dante at his next test
...
Dante didn\'t get far before he saw a skinny young man running up towards him.
After taking a minute to look at him, he could see that it was the person who got purple, an excellent rated talent in the exam, who approached him
"Wait!!
Dante stood still as he watched the young man sprint towards him.
as he approached Dante, the young man began to speak again.
"My Dad always said that I should surround myself with talented people and I\'ve never seen a person more talented than you in my life!"
Dante just watched on as this random guy ran up to him and started talking
"Well, erm... that\'s fine and all, but are you not even going to introduce yourself?
I don\'t even know who you are."
Hearing Dante\'s words, the young man quickly realised his mistake
"My bad"
as he apologised, a silly smile appeared on his face
"My name is Lennox Asmond, 4th son of the Asmond Clan."
as he said this, he reached out his hand as a greeting.
Not wanting to seem rude, Dante also responded with his own greeting as he shook Lennox\'s hand
"Pleasure to meet you, my name is Dante Kinsman."
listening to Dante\'s name caused Lenox to raise an eyebrow
"Kinsman? I\'ve never heard of a big clan in the capital that goes by the surname of Kinsman."
Hearing this, Dante couldn\'t help but chuckle as he replied
"That\'s because the Kinsman Clan isn\'t from the capital. I actually come from quite a rural area quite far from the kingdom capital."
"Impossible!"
"To train such a monster like you, I\'m not being rude or anything, but such a small clan doesn\'t have the resources!"
"from birth I\'ve been bathed and fed with rare elixirs and treasures and even I barely even made it to reach purple level talent.
