More than half of the students had been tested, and apart from Blum, another A-Grade Talent had been revealed. However, most of the abilities were C-Grade or lower, with B-Grade and A-Grade talent being scarce. As for S-Grade abilities or higher, no one had managed to awaken one.
"Ming Locke...."
"It's my turn now. Sa here, pray for too," he said, heading to the stand. Putting his hand on the crystal, unlike Blum who closed his eyes, he watched what was happening. A thick beam of indigo light was revealed, and although the crowd wasn't as shocked as before, it wasn't an easy feat to have an A-Grade Ability. Until...
"A-Grade Spiritual Talent: Telekinesis" - an ability that rivaled so S-Grade Abilities and was upgradeable to an S-Ranked Ability.
"Another A-Grade ability..."
"Yeah, don't you notice they're from the sa group?"
"What do you an?"
"The first guy who awakened an A-Grade ability ca from the sa group as him. Maybe they're a group of geniuses."
"Nah, you're kidding . Two of them awakening A-Grade abilities doesn't an the others might awaken good abilities."
"You're right, but we can't say for sure. Let's just wait and see."
Murmurs filled the crowd, with everyone surprised by the group of four.
"Congratulations, you passed. Would you like..."
"I'm staying," Ming cut Ben's words short, heading back to the group with pride. He wasn't left behind by Blum.
"Blum, you see, you're not the only one with an A-Grade ability. Even mine is stronger than yours," Ming said, trying to oppress his friend.
Telekinesis: the ability to move an object with the power of one's thought. As powerful as it is, it's harder to control such power.
Lightning Storm: an ability that summons a powerful storm with controlled lightning strikes.
A spirit-based ability and an elental-based ability - A-Ranked abilities aren't to be underestimated.
"Rose Everett....."
When the crowd heard this na, the gasps of surprise and murmurs were louder than when an A-Ranked ability was awakened. Rose ca out, and even Draco and the others looked at her with a strange gaze.
"Is what they...."
"Yes, it's true. I am from one of the main clans, the Everett Clan," she said, cutting Ming's words short. The boys were surprised because, since the day of their friendship, they hadn't known she was from the Everett Family - the news was strange to them.
As they watched her leave, their gaze turned complicated. Didn't she trust them enough to keep such things from them?
"Don't tell she's from the Everett Clan, one of the four main clans in Aerthys."
"I wonder what their descendant is doing at this academy."
"Let tell you sothing. I heard from one of my friends that the Everett Clan is declining these days, unable to support all their mbers."
"Are you serious?"
"Hey, stop shouting. I'm not sure of the news, but my instinct tells it's true."
"Everett Clan..."
Discussions could be heard from everyone there, surprised by the descendant of the main family.
It was said that the four heroes, after reclaiming the human land, settled down and created a city, calling it Calonia. They settled down, married, and had children..
_Thousands of years later, their descendants had multiplied, forming the four main clans: the Starlight Clan, the Everett Clan, the Flynn Clan, and the Emberwood Clan._
_These clans are stationed in the Bloom District, the central district of Calonia, where they created an academy for nobles like themselves, Star Academy, forrly known as Hero Academy, but renad due to so issues. This academy is the strongest in Calonia, boasting nurous geniuses and suppressing other academies.
Luminari Academy, on the other hand, ranks last among the top five, but it's not to be underestimated as it's part of the strongest academies._
_The five strongest academies are: Star Academy (Bloom District), Phoenix Academy (Chen District), Obsidian Academy (Shannon District), Waves Academy (Shendon District), and Luminari Academy (Aerthys District). Star Academy is the strongest, while Luminari Academy is the weakest._
_The Bloom District is at the center of Calonia, with other districts located to the north, south, west, and east. A descendant of the four main clans attending Luminari Academy, the weakest of the top five, was a big surprise to everyone._
"Instructor, can I test myself now?" Rose asked, seeing the instructor deep in thought.
"Oh... Yes..." Ben replied, guiding her to place her hands on the crystal. The crowd remained silent, with even the sound of a nail dropping audible. No one wanted to miss the spectacle of a main clan descendant. Everyone held their breath, including the instructors, awaiting her result. If it was low, she wouldn't be worthy of being called a main clan descendant.
But she didn't disappoint them...
A thick violet beam of light was ejected from the crystal, with a purple screen displaying "S-Ranked Beast Talent: Five-Tailed Fox Power."
The crowd remained silent, gazing at the violet beam in awe, so even rubbing their eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating. Gasps and beams of surprise filled the air, as this was like magic to them. An S-Ranked Talent is rare and coveted, capable of making academies eager to recruit such talent, not to talk of a rare beast talent
_As expected of a main clan descendant!_ Ben thought, breaking free from his thoughts. It seems heaven had answered their prayers, giving them a foothold against other academies.
"I'll stay with my friends," Rose said, heading back with an air of arrogance and pride in her voice. Ben watched as the young girl returned to her friends. The boys, though surprised, felt extre joy for her, welcoming her with open arms.
"As expected of Rose, congrats!" Blum said, cheering her up.
"Shut your mouth, having an S-Ranked ability doesn't an I'm the strongest," Rose replied, aware that S-Ranked talents aren't rare among the main clans, with each clan receiving at least two or three such geniuses.
"Even so, it's not easy to awaken such a strong ability. Congrats, Rose. It looks like I'll be in your care," Draco chid in, causing Rose's expression to change, smiling sweetly.
"If you say so, then thank you!" Rose said in a low tone, interlocking her hands together like a young girl in love. Blum and Ming watched Rose, now certain of their suspicions. They had previously wondered if Rose had feelings for Draco, given her overprotectiveness towards him, but now they knew for sure.
As the awakening ceremony neared its end, another S-Ranked genius erged, also from the main clan (Emberwood), surprising the instructors. This was a great news to the
"Draco Xandros..." Draco heard his na called, heading out with a sliver bracelet (Bubble)on his hand. His Awakened Ability would determine his path of destiny. While others wished for strength to dominate, Draco desired an ability to live a peaceful life without hunger...
"Go, Draco. Don't disappoint ..." Rose shouted, with the boys beside her shaking their heads in support of Draco.
Draco, now at the stand, placed his hand on the crystal, and the crowd watched him, knowing he was part of the group of freaks (a title given to Draco's group of four by the crowd).
A XXXXX beam of light was ejected, leaving the crowd and instructors...
