The rune that was inscribed onto the tile confused him.
"Aptitude?" He said with a confused expression.
"Ah, so you get this as well. Don't worry. It's going to be easy for you. The problem you will face will be the next tile. It will decide whether or not you can try to get the last two treasures or not," Nefrati comnted.
"So you know this test?" He asked her.
"Yes. I had to take this test at this exact tile. I failed the tile after that, so I couldn't even try to get to the last few treasures," she said.
"So what is on it?" He asked her.
"It tests how much aptitude you have to train in the Blood Elent. It isn't going to be high for you, but you just need a dium to pass," she said.
"But I don't have a blood aptitude. I use the shadow elent," he said.
"Yes, but you have Peak Aptitude in that. Anyone with a Peak Aptitude with any elent automatically has a dium Aptitude with every other elent. And before you say anything about how that seems unfair, I will explain why.
To have the highest aptitude ans to be very close to an elent of nature, which ans you are very close to nature itself. That ans you are also close to the other elents, but just not as close as the elent you are training in.
It doesn't really matter for you, since you will only be training in the Shadow Elent just like I will stay with the elent I have." She explained.
"So how will they test it?" He asked her.
"Just enter the tile. It's harmless," she said.
He followed her instructions and walked forward onto the tile. When he stepped onto the tile, the rune glowed lightly. The glow disappeared after a second, followed by a pedestal erging from the ground.
The pedestal was made of a white stone with engravings on it. It rose to his height before stopping. On the pedestal was a transparent crystal ball.
Along with the pedestal, four walls rose along with it, covering the tile he was standing on. Once the walls were completely up, they reached the ceiling, blocking any escape. He wanted to see if he could break through, but Nefrati stopped him.
"Don't worry about them. They will disappear, regardless of whether you pass the test or not. Just walk forward and put your palm on the ball. Insert your aura into it and wait for a color to erge. Based on the color that you have, you can know what aptitude you have," she said.
As she said, he went forward and touched the orb. The minute he did, all the aura in his body started moving while the magic shrunk into his mind.
Till then, his magic was just stationary in his body. He couldn't use it to cast new magic, but he couldn't move it either. But now that it moved back into his mind automatically, the magic he had cast on himself disappeared too.
Now that the Valkyr's Deception was gone, his true appearance was shown. Till then, Nefrati assud that he was a 20-year-old as his appearance showed. In his mind, she only saw a silhouette of Leo and not his true image. For the first ti, she saw him in his true form - a teenager.
"You... you are a kid?" She asked him with shock.
"Yes. Why is that surprising?" He asked her.
"As a kid, you reached the 2nd Circle. Why did you think that I was not surprised? With this talent, you will easily reach the 9th Circle. And here I was, thinking that you were a late bloor," she said.
He wanted to reply to her, but the orb in front of him was starting to change color. A white cloud started to form inside the orb. The aura inside his body surged forward and entered it.I think you should take a look at
The minute it did, the cloud started to change colors. First, it changed to red before slowly moving to yellow. After that, it slowly changed to a green color.
"Red ans no aptitude. Yellow is low and green is dium. It ans the test should be over and you should pass," Nefrati said when she saw the color.
As she was saying that, the green color slowly beca a bright blue. When it did, Nefrati was surprised.
"Wow! It seems that you have a High Aptitude for the Blood Elent. That is very good. You could try to practice a Blood Elent if you have the ti and it would be worth it," she comnted.
As she said that, the color changed from blue to violet. It settled there so he lifted his hand.
"You were saying," he asked Nefrati. He wasn't paying too much attention to what she was saying before.
"How are you human?" She comnted. "This shouldn't even be allowed! How do you have a Peak Aptitude for more than one elent? On top of that, it had to be two rare elents. And the Blood Elent? That is one of the strongest elents to exist!" She complained.
"I have Peak Aptitude for the Blood Elent?" He questioned her with surprise. As he said that, the pedestal slowly sank to the bottom. The four walls also sank to the ground, leaving the next tile open for him.
"Yes, you do. So you should try to gain a proper manual here. If you get your hands on a good manual, then you can try to train in the blood elent instead of the shadow elent. It will be a sha though," she comnted.
"Why?" He asked her.
"Well, you will be wasting your aptitude with the shadow elent," she said. "You will need to change the aura techniques and the aura manual you are using. That's for sure. The circles you have ford are incredibly rudintary.
As for the aura techniques, they are way too wasteful. They might work for you, but any random technique you find here will be far more helpful," she said.
"Well, I can switch to the Blood Elent, but it won't stop from using the Shadow elent. I can still use shadow magic," he said.
Nefrati let out a sigh. "And then there's that! How can you even train in aura and another power at the sa ti and still reach this stage?" She asked him.
"I don't see the problem. There are so many people just a year older than in the 2nd Circle. A lot of them are in my stage, and that's just in the city that I am in," he said.
"Don't try to play tricks on . I learned exactly how much your empire values Aura Knights. If Aura Knights are considered worthless, then there is no way that there are those many talented people training in it." She comnted.
"What do you an?" He asked her.
"You said you are a commoner, right?" She asked him.
He nodded.
"Do you like the nobles that restrict the magic knowledge like you said?" She asked another question.
"No," he replied.
"Exactly. So what would you do to them when you beco strong?" She asked him.
