Prologue (1/2)

The Day of Determination

This is the day of the ceremony that turns children into adults

In this world is sole person is born with a Talent

It ht be easier to understand it as an ability

Be it sword or spear or what have you, there is a huge range of talents And today is the day when that is confiric

People without Talents in the sword or spear can still learn thee of growth that can be attained through effort and nurturing

However, it is not so for ic

To be blunt, it is absolutely iic

People who possess a icians, are very few in nuh salaries and offered extreoal of this Day of Deterical Talents

Or perhaps they are even looking for Talents that rank even higher than norical Talents

There probably are Talents like 'Hero' and 'Chae's business

”Line up”

We don't even have enough kids to need a line

The soldiers who've come from the city sure are serious about their job

This year's Ceree of Albat involves me, my friend Nahbal, and shi+eron, who's one year older Just us three

Children who reach 15 years old have to go through this Day of Determination before they are considered adults

But in the case of our village, there are very few children

So that's why the Ceree It's either go to the city personally or wait until a year when there are 3 children That's why shi+eron is one year older than us

In this country, undergoing a Cerele person has to do it once

Our Village Chief and the two soldiers who've coether in the center of the square

Adults ai for the food that will be served in the Co over us

——I don't really like standing out, so I'd be grateful if this would be over soon

Though I adht be partly just my disposition, but I a their attention towards e crowd……

Oh well, this will probably be the last tiather so et the Cereo to sleep, then return to my solitary inconspicuous life froe Chief is going on and on about the nificance of it or whatever, Nahbal whispers toto draw a Talent eventhan Horun's”

Horun

My elder sis, huh

”Do your best”

Is all I can say, so I said it Though this isn't so that can be affected by effort

”I wonder what Horun-chan is doing right now?”

Now even shi+eron has joined in on the conversation So I wasn't the only one as feeling bored Of course, of course Our Village Chief is pointlessly long-winded, after all No one ever really listens seriously to his pointless speeches anyways I think

”Beatsrandom in the capital”

My older sister Horun drew a rare Talent, Shadow Hunter Warrior, two years ago during her Cere froth to resist and fight against evil…… is where her talent lies, apparently

Talents are, at the end of the day, only what the person is talented in Whether or not to use and nurture that talent is entirely up to the person
