40 Natural Selection VIII (1/2)

Nero had come out as the winner while Felicia suffered a loss.

But it wasn't the end for Felicia.

Her battle talent had clearly been displayed to the crowd, her performance had gained acknowledgement from the referee as well as the surrounding Aristocrats.

If two talented candidates are put head to head, even if one loses, they could gain the acknowledgement from one of the referees and continue in the tournament.

Similarly, if two candidates with low battle talent are put together, if not good enough, the winner could also be removed from the tournament.

The whole tournament's goal was to pick out those with enough talent to become mages and fighters.

In the case of Nero's duel, his opponent was evidently skilled and talented enough to continue further into the selections.

As for Nero, he had gained enough acknowledgement to directly advance into the battle royale.

This was done to keep the tournament more even, him participating any longer would result in people talented enough to suffer a loss.

Or in other words, it was a waste of time.

His performance had left everybody in awe and inquisition.

'Who is the master of this kid? How could so agilely jump over that swing? And, he even has to strength rivalling young mistress!' These were the thoughts of Felicia's training master.

He knew of great strength Felicia had for a child, and somehow, this mysterious Royal who supposedly came out of nowhere, and is only 7 not to mention, could contest and even beat his greatest disciple.

With a body like Nero's, there was only one way he had such power...

'It has to be... Beast Absorption!'

Felicia's training master was extremely knowledgeable about ways to gain physical strength. He knew that the only suitable way for someone like Nero to gain power was Beast Absorption.

Beast Absorption was the name for the process of absorbing and constitutionally changing one's body with Beast Mana to gain greater physical power.

Beast Absorption was also thought to be like a talent.

Every person could absorb a certain amount of Beast mana from consuming magical beasts, the amount differing between every person.

'But even with A grade Beast Absorption, it's almost impossible to achieve such great strength at such a young age.' The Training master racked his brain, trying to figure out how Nero displayed the strength that he did.

Nero had only shown the strength of an average Adult, not because he wanted to go easy on his opponent but because his overwhelming strength would attract all kinds of questions and potential dangers.

'Unless... that's right! His master must have somehow helped him with a rare Beast mana Absorption manual!'

To the training Master, that was the only viable possibility that could explain the physical strength Nero displayed.
