Chapter 1980 Deal (1/2)
”It's time for the test to begin!
If you wish to join any of the four schools, then line up. You will take turns to perform two simple things. Announce your name to the Talent Stela, and then attack!
The Talent Stela will rank you based on your age, talent, and potential.
Let us commence the test!”
The elder clad in grey announced and his voice was heard all over.
”I'll go first.”
An eager and sturdy young man, looking confident and sure of himself, stepped out of the crowd and walked forwards, stopping directly in front of the Talent Stela.
The elder nodded.
”Duncan,” the man announced his name to the Talent Stela and then prepared to attack.
To use the strongest attack possible, he began to run his vital energy force. Surges of it rushed out of his body, sparkling everywhere and the scene turning chaotic.
”Hah!”
With a shout, the vital energy force around his body surged forwards and rushed towards the Talent Stela.
Since he wanted to take no chances in the test, he had gone all out against the Talent Stela in order to prove his worth to the latter.
As someone at the preliminary stage of Minor-perfection Realm, he was formidable enough to be considered and had released his strongest attack right here. Accompanied by a loud boom, the Talent Stela was hit forcefully, though it remained unmoved.
”What do you think of my ranking?”
Duncan retreated with a victorious smile, looking hopeful as he began to search for his name on the Talent Stela.
”Top of the list!”
The next moment, he erupted in joy, seeing his name in the first grid on the Talent Stela.
”Now, now. It's not that. No, you're the only one to have attacked the stela till now. Naturally, your name is on the top.
It doesn't prove anything.”
The elder replied lightly.
”Oh,” Duncan withdrew with an awkward smile.
The rest of the group sneered at his preposterous supposition.
Sure enough, when the second warrior stepped forward and launched an attack on the Talent Stela, Duncan's name dropped to the second place and another name appeared in the first one.
