“If your enchantinal, how could it have possibly ed to activate? The quality of your last Clay Mine went beyond the theoretical limit”
Kiel stared at the granded to produce a response:
“Huh?!?”
Episode 142 – Mere decade
Seeing Kiel’s half-petrified half-gobser and she burst out laughing “Why did you think we spent all this ti about IPOMQ?”
The other exahter “Why did you think ere so excited? Even fighting over recruiting you?”
“Of course, it’s because you are one of those people with IPOMQ!”
Kiel felt as if lightning struck him from the clear skies His hing professors in front of hi, Kiel was still standing in dumbfounded silence, but hey, at least he tried to break it – he opened his mouth to say “Impossible! How could I not know I had such an ability?”, but then, he realized that the examiners had already explained the reasons why he would be unaware Therefore, he closed hisa word
Still, he could hardly accept this turn of events How could there be such a coincidence? He applied mistakenly for this special exam and it just so happened that he actually had such a talent?
Hie? He actually had a special sensitivity towards et any et his hopes up, so he shook his head, smiled wryly, and finally uttered words: “You said yourself that this power is hard to test for And the …”
“One ht be, but not all of theot ih nu wrong with the data but that the speed of your learning ability is off the charts!”
Seeing Kiel who looked like his spirit had left his body, the ed man hurried to explain: “The purpose of the first test was so that we could see your nor is usually, when you are not putting in special effort It would also allow us to see your learning speed when you are concentrating on improvement
The second enchantiven to you to test how high your weaving precision can reach However, the main point of the test laid in the fact that the enchantment was mystified and had many places where it could be improved If you were a wielder of IPOMQ, this is where you’d have the most opportunity to display it
You had the ti and learn the most from your previous atte several alterations to the spell design in the pursuit of quality”
After the ranny continued: “The Clay Mine served only as a confirmation of e already detected in the previous two tests You didn’t have the ti and adjust your weaving accordingly However…”
She gave Kiel a knowing look “…you could still tell, couldn’t you? The quality of your spells Ito respond Luckily, granny’s question seemed to be rhetorical for she spoke up soon after “Even when you didn’t have enough time to think about it, you subconsciously i style to better match the spell”
Like a fish out of water, Kiel opened his ed to recover enough to form words: “What about the azure bead?”
Unfortunately, the response he got ret that he had bothered to ask His e received another blow:
“Oh, that last one wasn’t part of the special exaot very excited e realized you possessed the IPOMQ, so ere curious about the accuracy of your mana sense If even your mana sense was incredible than you’d be a Godsend to our Sapphire Division!”
Kiel felt horrible enough to spew out blood and faint right then and there
What did he overdraft his powers for?? Why did he stake his life on this exam?! Why did he end up in thisin agony?!
He felt so stupid! He had totallya deep pit and jumped in himself!
And it was in thehiot an epiphany – he’d better stop worrying about things out of his control and juht end up shooting hi
Still, didn’t such a realization have too big of a price tag?!
What should he do if these excited elders ended up spreading that he had a perverse mana sense?? He wouldn’t be able to sleep in peace out of worry that his lack of an extremely accurate mana sense would be revealed!
Even if he wanted to accept one of their apprenticeshi+p offers in the future, he wouldn’t dare to, for they would surely notice he didn’t have such an aweso down his back
And what kind of shi+tty talent was this? IPOMQ, no, NIDSMOARWRK?
Elaru got the Godly cheat that is Aethernea of Sight, while he got… NIDSMOARWRK? Where was the justice in this world??
This talent was so his face burn What would he say? “Hey, guess what, I aot IPOMQ”
The first response he’d get in return would be: “What is that? A sexually transmitted disease?”
